AMPK and mTOR in autophagy regulation during cisplatin-induced kidney injury. Upon cisplatin exposure, autophagy is induced rapidly in renal tubular cells to protect against kidney injury. AMPK and mTOR may play opposite, regulatory roles in autophagy induction by cisplatin. Several pharmacological agents may stimulate autophagy through AMPK/mTOR to afford kidney protection.
