The role of inflammation in diabetes: current concepts and future perspectives
This foundational discovery later recognized with the 2024 LaskerDeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award for Habener, Mojsov, and Lotte Bjerre Knudsen laid the foundation for an entirely new class of GLP-1 medications.[1] Gut releases natural GLP-1 that is destroyed in the bloodstream within about two minutes by the enzyme DPP-4 that is a widely distributed integral membrane protein that is expressed in the intestine, kidney, vascular endothelium, liver pancreas, glandular epithelial cells, and immune system cells.[17] Hence, DPP-4 inhibitors are a successful class of anti-hyperglycaemic agents used to treat type 2 diabetes (T2DM) via protecting GLP-1

Similarly, although SDF-1 may ameliorate kidney injury and promote repair after nondiabetic ischemia [26], potentiation of the chemokine can contribute to a proliferative response that leads to glomerulosclerosis, podocyte loss, and albuminuria [27, 28], thus implicating SDF-1 in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy
