Astragaloside IV attenuates podocyte apoptosis via regulating TXNIP/NLRP3/GSDMD signaling pathway in diabetic nephropathy by Zhibo Hu, Yu Zhou, Cailing Gao, Junfen Liu, Congqing Pan, Jun Guo

“…Results In vitro, AS-IV led to a significant reduction in blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urine albumen-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), serum creatinine (CREA), and hyperglycemia in db/db mice and lessen the pathological alterations in the kidney. Moreover, pyrin structural domain of the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), cleaved-caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), IL-18, and IL-1β were down-expressed and podocyte markers podocin and nphs1 were up-regulated following AS-IV intervention. …”
