Teneligliptin also attenuated cisplatin-induced AKI and accelerated kidney recovery by promoting the proliferation of surviving epithelial cells in the proximal tubule via the chemokine ligand CXCL12 (or SDF-1α) and its receptor chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) [69]. The gene discussed is CXCL12; the disease is acute kidney injury.
