Core Tip This study identifies the protein kinase A/perilipin (Plin) 1/mitofusin 2 axis as a novel therapeutic target for diabetic kidney disease. Ginsenoside Rd activates protein kinase A, promotes Plin1-mitofusin 2 interaction, enhances lipid droplet-mitochondria contact, and stimulates fatty acid oxidation, thereby attenuating renal lipid accumulation and fibrosis. Using in vivo and in vitro loss of function models, we demonstrate that Plin1 is essential for ginsenoside Rd induced organelle tethering and metabolic benefit, providing a mechanistic framework for diabetic kidney disease intervention.
