Abstract
The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has increased alarmingly over the last decades. Despite taking measures aimed at controlling hyperglycaemia and blood pressure, the rate of end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is continually growing. Upon increased amounts of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their correspondent receptors (RAGEs), AGE‐RAGE axis is over‐activated in DM, being the first step in the initiation and propagation of inflammatory cascades. Meanwhile, HMGB1, released from damaged cells in the diabetic kidneys, is the most notable ligand for the highly expressed toll‐like receptors (TLRs) and RAGEs. TLRs play an indispensable role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Sodium‐glucose co‐transporter 2 (SGLT‐2) inhibitors are hypoglycaemic agents acting on the renal proximal tubules to prevent glucose reabsorption and therefore increase urinary glucose excretion. Besides improving glycaemic control, these hypoglycaemic agents possess direct renoprotective properties. Here, therefore, we review the most recent findings regarding interrelationship between SGLT2 inhibitors and HMGB1‐TLR4 axis.
