| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Increased oxidative stress has been implicated in the development of metabolic syndrome (MS). To develop a new treatment strategy for MS, we studied the possible involvement of superoxide-generating NOX1/NADPH oxidase in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Our findings point out the novel role of NOX1/NADPH oxidase in hyperglycemia-induced renal senescence. NOX1-derived reactive oxygen species positively regulate the p38/p27Kip1 signaling pathway via protein kinase C activation, thereby accelerating glomerular hypertrophy, mesangial matrix expansion and cellular senescence under hyperglycemia. Inhibition of NOX1 may delay premature senescence and protect kidney from the steady progress of CKD.
