Canagliflozin Inhibits Hedgehog Interacting Protein (Hhip)-Mediated Renal Tubular Cell Senescence in Type 1 Akita Mice

FY 2023-24

Summary
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (Sglt2) inhibitors are emerging diabetes treatments that were initially designed to target kidney but also found being cardioprotective. We have recently reported that our protein of interest: hedgehog interacting protein (Hhip) activates Sglt2 expression and promotes kidney aging in diabetic mouse model. In current project, we aim to elucidate the underlying mechanism by giving Sglt2 inhibitor to diabetic mice or specific kidney cell culture under high glucose condition. We have demonstrated that Sglt2 inhibitor is capable of offsetting diabetic kidney injury, possibly, via the inhibition of excessive Hhip carried by extracellular vehicles.
