Involvement of cystatin C in immunity and apoptosis

Highlights • Cystatin C is not only a good index of kidney functions but also involved in immune regulation and apoptosis under pathological conditions.• The involvement of cystatin C in the immunological process occurs at multiple levels, which are subjected to cytokine regulation.• Abnormal cystatin C expression is associated with inflammatory autoimmune diseases and tumor development.• Thus cystatin C can be a valid therapeutic target for these diseases.
