AT1R expression in mesangial cells and podocytes, induced by high glucose levels, promotes intracellular expression of profibrotic and pro-inflammatory mediators, such as transforming-growth factor beta (TGF- ), vascular endothelial growth factor (VGEF), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) leading to hyperplasia and hypertrophy, mainly of the proximal tubule, together with extracellular matrix production (34)
This adhesion enables fibroblasts to spread and exert mechanical forces on the surrounding ECM, maintaining a "youthful" phenotype characterized by the preservation of ECM composition and structural organization
Once in the cytosol, the mature toxin forms a complex with preprotoxin molecules that have not yet been imported into the ER, which can be ubiquitinated and then proteasomally degraded, protecting the cell from the lethal effects of the -subunit
