Glycation of proteins is a non-enzymatic posttranslational modification. Such random modification often deranges the structure and function of a wide range of proteins, and in turn leads to cellular dysfunction and organ damage. Protein glycation is thus an important topic in understanding the molecular mechanisms of the development or progression of various kinds of diabetes-related diseases. Meanwhile, organelle stress, such as mitochondrial or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) damage, is a causal factor for cellular dysfunction. Under pathogenic conditions, mitochondrial stress and ER stress are induced by glycated proteins. Intensive research has revealed the molecular mechanism of how glycation contributes to cell fate via organelle stress. This article will summarize the most recent evidence on organelle stress and glycation in kidney disease, especially diabetic kidney disease (DKD) associated with high glycation status.
