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.
