Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved intracellular degradation system in eukaryotes that maintains cellular and tissue homeostasis. Upon autophagy induction, cytoplasmic components are engulfed by a double-membrane organelle called the autophagosome that fuses with a lysosome to degrade its contents. In recent years, it has become clear that autophagy becomes dysregulated with aging, which leads to age-related diseases. Kidney function is particularly prone to age-related decline, and aging is the most significant risk factor for chronic kidney disease. This review first discuss the relationship between autophagy and kidney aging. Second, we describe how age-related dysregulation of autophagy occurs. Finally, we discuss the potential of autophagy-targeting drugs to ameliorate human kidney aging and the approaches necessary to discover such agents.
期刊介绍：
Progress in Biophysics & Molecular Biology is an international review journal and covers the ground between the physical and biological sciences since its launch in 1950. It indicates to the physicist the great variety of unsolved problems awaiting attention in biology and medicine. The biologist and biochemist will find that this journal presents new and stimulating ideas and novel approaches to studying and influencing structural and functional properties of the living organism. This journal will be of particular interest to biophysicists, biologists, biochemists, cell physiologists, systems biologists, and molecular biologists.
