Résumé
Metabolic dysregulation and mitochondrial dysfunction are important features of acute and chronic tissue injury across species, and human genetics and preclinical data suggest that the master metabolic regulator 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) may be an effective therapeutic target for chronic kidney disease (CKD). We have recently disclosed a pan-AMPK activator, MK-8722, that was shown to have beneficial effects in preclinical models. In this study we investigated the effects of MK-8722 in a progressive rat model of diabetic nephropathy to determine whether activation of AMPK would be of therapeutic benefit. We found that MK-8722 administration in a therapeutic paradigm is profoundly renoprotective, as demonstrated by a reduction in proteinuria (63% decrease in MK-8722 10 mg/kg per day compared with vehicle group) and a significant improvement in glomerular filtration rate (779 and 430
