Dapagliflozin Restores Impaired Autophagy and Suppresses Inflammation in High Glucose-Treated HK-2 Cells

Sodium-glucose cotransporter2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have a reno-protective effect in diabetic kidney disease. However, the detailed mechanism remains unclear. In this study, human proximal tubular cells (HK-2) were cultured in 5 mM glucose and 25 mM mannitol (control), 30 mM glucose (high glucose: HG),...
