Abstract
The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has significantly increased worldwide in recent decades, and improved treatments for T2DM and DKD are urgently needed. The pathogenesis of aging-related disorders, such as T2DM and DKD, involves multiple mechanisms, including inflammation, autophagy impairment, and oxidative stress, which are closely associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Therefore, mitochondrial quality control may be a novel therapeutic target for T2DM and DKD. Previous reports have shown that members of the mammalian Sirtuin family, SIRT 1–7, which are recognized as antiaging molecules, play a crucial role in the regulation of mitochondrial function and quality control through the modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation and autophagy. In this review, we summarized the research published in recent years to highlight the role of Sirtuins in mitochondrial quality control as a therapeutic target for T2DM and DKD.
