The authors demonstrate that the glycolipid mimetic (Ss)-DS-ONJis able to abolish inflammation via the induction of autophagy flux and provokes the inhibition ofinflammasome complex in ex vivo and in vitro models, using adult kidney explants from BB rats. Thecontribution of (Ss)-DS-ONJ to reducing inflammatory events is mediated by the inhibition of classicalstress kinase pathways and the blocking of inflammasome complex activation. The (Ss)-DS-ONJtreatment is able to inhibit the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression, but onlywhen the IL18 levels are reduced by the treatment. These findings suggest that (Ss)-DS-ONJ could bea novel, and multifactorial treatment for DN.
