Mechanism of Astragaloside Ⅳ in Treatment of Renal Tubulointerstitial Fibrosis*
摘要
Abstract
Tubulointerstitial fibrosis (TIF) is one of the key indicators in evaluating the renal function of patients. Mild TIF can cause a vicious cycle of renal tubular glomerular injury and aggravate renal disease. Therefore
studying the mechanisms underlying TIF is essential to identify therapeutic targets
thereby protecting the renal function of patients with timely intervention. Astragaloside Ⅳ (AS-Ⅳ) is a Chinese medicine component that has been shown to inhibit the occurrence and progression of TIF via multiple pathways. Previous studies have reported that AS-Ⅳ protected against TIF by inhibiting inflammation
autophagy
endoplasmic reticulum stress
macrophages
and transforming growth factor-β1
which laid the foundation for the development of a new preventive and therapeutic option for TIF.
