Abstract
Aurora kinases are a family of serine/threonine kinases that includes Aurora kinase A, Aurora kinase B, and Aurora kinase C. These kinases play crucial roles in mitotic spindle formation and cell proliferation. Over the past several decades, extensive research has elucidated the multifaceted roles of Aurora kinases in cancer development and progression. Recent studies have also highlighted the significant involvement of Aurora kinases in various kidney diseases, such as renal cell carcinoma, diabetic nephropathy, chronic kidney disease, and polycystic kidney disease. The mechanisms by which Aurora kinases contribute to renal diseases are complex and influenced by both specific pathological conditions and environmental factors. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the role and mechanisms through which Aurora kinases operate in kidney diseases and discuss the efficacy and application of existing inhibitors targeting these kinases in managing renal disorders in animal models.
