Abstract Diabetic kidney disease is a worldwide epidemic, and therapies are incomplete. Clinical data suggest that improved renal outcomes by Na-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) are partly beyond their antihyperglycemic effects; however, the mechanisms are still elusive. Here, we investigated the effect of the SGLT2i dapagliflozin (DAPA) in the prevention of elevated -GlcNAcylation and tubular […]

Abstract Proteins are complex organic molecules susceptible to numerous post-translational modifications occurring spontaneously during aging or as a consequence of physiologic or pathologic processes. Antigenicity and interactions of proteins with components of the immune system may be profoundly affected by post-translational modifications. Thus, modified self-antigens may be absent (not-tolerated) during early T-cell selection and trigger […]
