In type 2 diabetes model mice induced by streptozotocin (STZ) and a high-fat diet, combined AMPK plus empagliflozin or empagliflozin inhibitor plus compound C was applied, followed by analyses of the blood, urine and kidney indexes to observe the correlation between SGLT2i and AMPK and lipid metabolism in diabetic kidney disease. We determined whether DN in patients with renal tubular atrophy involved lipid metabolism.Results: In clinical specimens, the adiponectin receptor AdipoR1 was reduced, and the phosphorylation acetyl-CoA carboxylase (p-ACC) was increased. In vitro and in vivo pathological immunofluorescence and Western blotting confirmed that, under the condition of high glucose, malpighian tubules displayed ectopic lipid deposition and expressed related lipid parameters accompanied by fibrosis. Empagliflozin intervention reduced lipid deposition fibrosis and renal tubular atrophy, and the addition of compound C promoted disease progression. Moreover, siAdipoR1 transfection proved that AdipoR1 affected P-AMPK and then p-ACC affected lipid metabolism in renal tubular cells.Conclusion: According to the above experimental results, empagliflozin could reduce lipid metabolism of DN through AdipoR1/P-AMPK/P-ACC pathway and delay DN progress.Keywords: diabetic nephropathy, empagliflozin, AdipoR1, p-AMPK, p-ACC, lipidZhang ZNi LZhang LZha DHu CZhang LFeng HWei XWu XDove Medical Pressarticlediabetic nephropathyempagliflozinadipor1p-ampkp-acclipidSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 14, Pp 227-240 (2021)
