The protective effects of rapamycin on cell autophagy in the renal tissues of rats with diabetic nephropathy via mTOR-S6K1-LC3II signaling pathway

Background: Previous studies have shown that podocyte autophagy is an important trigger for proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis. The mammalian rapamycin target protein (mTOR) occupies a pivotal position in the autophagy pathway. In this study, we planned to clarify the mechanism of mTOR regulation of...
