The mechanisms involve modulating key transcription factors, such as SREBP-1, which controls de novo lipogenesis, along with downregulating enzymes linked to lipid synthesis, such as ACC and FAS (Lyons and Beaudry, 2023)
Consequently, the development of kidney-specific antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) or adeno-associated viral (AAV) transduction methods is advantageous, as these approaches can selectively inhibit ANGPTL4 in proximal tubules, glomerular podocytes, and glomerular endothelial cells, thereby avoiding the adverse systemic effects associated with whole-body ANGPTL4 loss (Srivastava et al., 2024)
