Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms Underlying the Initiation and Progression of Alport Glomerular Pathology

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Alport syndrome results from a myriad of variants in the COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5 genes that encode type IV (basement membrane) collagens. Unlike type IV collagen α1(IV)2α2(IV)1 heterotrimers, which are ubiquitous in basement membranes, α3/α4/α5 have a ...

Action of the Metalloproteinases in Gonadal Remodeling during Sex Reversal in the Sequential Hermaphroditism of the Teleostei Fish Synbranchus marmoratus (Synbranchiformes: Synbranchidae) [PDF]

, 2018
Teleostei present great plasticity regarding sex change. During sex reversal, the whole gonadincluding the germinal epithelium undergoes significant changes, remodeling, and neoformation.However, there is no information on the changes that occur within ...

Anti-glomerular basement membrane glomerulonephritis following nintedanib for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2017
Background We report a previously unrecognized and unreported case of a patient with anti-glomerular basement membrane glomerulonephritis following nintedanib, an orally active small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

Age and diabetes related changes of the retinal capillaries: an ultrastructural and immunohistochemical study [PDF]

, 2015
Normal human aging and diabetes are associated with a gradual decrease of cerebral flow in the brain with changes in vascular architecture. Thickening of the capillary basement membrane and microvascular fibrosis are evident in the central nervous system

How to study basement membrane stiffness as a biophysical trigger in prostate cancer and other age-related pathologies or metabolic diseases [PDF]

, 2016
Here we describe a protocol that can be used to study the biophysical microenvironment related to increased thickness and stiffness of the basement membrane (BM) during age-related pathologies and metabolic disorders (e.g. cancer, diabetes, microvascular

ER stress and basement membrane defects combine to cause glomerular and tubular renal disease resulting from Col4a1 mutations in mice

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2016
Collagen IV is a major component of basement membranes, and mutations in COL4A1, which encodes collagen IV alpha chain 1, cause a multisystemic disease encompassing cerebrovascular, eye and kidney defects.

Mapping the molecular and structural specialization of the skin basement membrane for inter-tissue interactions

Nature Communications, 2021
The basement membrane is located at tissue interfaces, but how it mediates distinct inter-tissue interactions is unclear. Here, the authors systematically define the spatial heterogeneity of skin basement membrane composition and show its functional ...

Molecular mechanisms separating two axonal pathways during embryonic development of the avian optic tectum [PDF]

, 1991
During embryonic development of the avian optic tectum, retinal and tectobulbar axons form an orthogonal array of nerve processes. Growing axons of both tracts are transiently very closely apposed to each other. Despite this spatial proximity, axons from

Stage-specific action of matrix metalloproteinases influences progressive hereditary kidney disease. [PDF]

, 2006
BackgroundGlomerular basement membrane (GBM), a key component of the blood-filtration apparatus in the in the kidney, is formed through assembly of type IV collagen with laminins, nidogen, and sulfated proteoglycans.
