摘要: 糖尿病肾病(DN)是糖尿病常见的并发症之一,也是导致末期肾病的主要因素。黄芪多糖(APS)作为一种具有多种生物活性的中草药成分,已被证实对DN具有潜在的治疗效果。本研究综述了APS在DN治疗中的信号调控机制,包括TGF-β/Smads、TLR4/NF-κB、Sirt1/FoxO1、Gm41268/PRLR和Wnt信号通路,这些通路与肾脏炎症、纤维化、细胞凋亡等病理生理过程密切相关。APS通过多途径、多靶点调控上述信号通路,展现出一定的肾脏保护作用,其可能对延缓糖尿病肾病进展具有积极意义。尽管APS在DN治疗中的应用潜力巨大,但仍需进一步深入研究其调控机制、药理学特性、药代动力学特点、临床有效性和安全性。本综述为APS在DN治疗中的潜在应用提供了理论依据,并指出了未来研究的方向。
Abstract: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common complication of diabetes and a leading cause of end-stage kidney disease. Astragalus polysaccharide (APS), as a traditional Chinese medicinal herb with various bioactivities, has been demonstrated to possess potential therapeutic effects on DN. This review summarizes the signaling regulation mechanisms of APS in the treatment of DN, including the TGF-β/Smads, TLR4/NF-κB, Sirt1/FoxO1, Gm41268/PRLR, and Wnt signaling pathways, which are closely related to pathological processes such as renal inflammation, fibrosis, and apoptosis. APS regulates the above signaling pathways through multiple pathways and targets, showing certain renal protective effects, and may positively help delay the progression of diabetic nephropathy. Although the application potential of APS in the treatment of DN is enormous, further in-depth studies are needed to elucidate its regulatory mechanisms, pharmacological properties, pharmacokinetic characteristics, clinical efficacy, and safety. This review provides a theoretical basis for the potential application of APS in the treatment of DN and points out the direction for future research.
