Down-Regulation of PERK-ATF4-CHOP Pathway by Astragaloside IV is Associated with the Inhibition of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced Podocyte Apoptosis in Diabetic Rats

Down-Regulation of PERK-ATF4-CHOP Pathway by Astragaloside IV is Associated with the Inhibition of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced Podocyte Apoptosis in Diabetic Rats

Background: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced podocyte apoptosis plays a critical role in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Here, we tested the hypothesis that suppression of PERK-ATF4-CHOP pathway by Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is associated with inhibition of ER stress-induced pod...
