ABSTRACT
Diabetic nephropathy(DN), a progressive chronic kidney disease(CKD) induced by diabetes mellitus, is the main cause of end-stage renal disease. Renal interstitial fibrosis(RIF) is an irreversible factor in the progression and deterioration of the renal function in DN. Chronic inflammation has become a key link in the pathogenesis of DN-RIF. The NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3) inflammasome is an important inflammatory regulator regulated by a variety of signals. It promotes the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and induces renal inflammatory cell infiltration to participate in the process of renal fibrosis, demonstrating a complex mechanism of action. In view of the important role of NLRP3 inflammasomes in the prevention and treatment of DN-RIF, a large number of experimental studies have demonstrated that traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) can reduce the inflammation by regulating the pathways involving NLRP3 inflammasome, thereby slowing down the progression of DN-RIF and improving the renal function. This paper reviews the relationship between NLRP3 inflammasomes and DN-RIF, and the research progress in the mechanism of TCM intervention in NLRP3 inflammasomes to alleviate DN-RIF, aiming to provide new ideas for the targeted treatment of DN-RIF.
