Glomerular ultrastructural change and vascular endothelial growth factor‐A expression in diabetic cats

open access: yesJournal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives To evaluate the glomerular ultrastructural changes associated with diabetic nephropathy and quantify glomerular vascular endothelial growth factor‐A expression in cats with diabetes mellitus compared to controls. Materials and Methods Transmission electron microscopy was performed to evaluate glomerular ultrastructural changes, including ...

TGF-beta 1-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and therapeutic intervention in diabetic nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background/Aims: Epithelial-to-mesenchymal cell transformation (EMT) is the trans-differentiation of tubular epithelial cells into myofibroblasts, an event underlying progressive chronic kidney disease in diabetes, resulting in fibrosis.

Studies on Glomerular Basement Membrane. 1. Isolation and Chemical Analysis of Normal Glomerular Basement Membrane.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1966
SummaryA method has been described for obtaining isolated human glomerular basement membrane. Evidence for the purity of the isolated GBM includes electron microscopic and chemical data. Some of the membrane constituents, in particular hydroxypro-line, aminosugars, sialic acid, neutral sugars, and lipids have been identified.

An In Vitro Model of the Glomerular Capillary Wall Using Electrospun Collagen Nanofibres in a Bioartificial Composite Basement Membrane

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011

Basement Membrane Defects in Genetic Kidney Diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
The glomerular basement membrane (GBM) is a specialized structure with a significant role in maintaining the glomerular filtration barrier. This GBM is formed from the fusion of two basement membranes during development and its function in the filtration

Glomerular Basement Membrane Protein Expression and the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Autosomal Dominant Alport Syndrome

open access: yesKidney Medicine, 2019
Alport syndrome is a hereditary glomerular nephritis associated with hearing loss and eye abnormalities and is classified as X-linked Alport syndrome, autosomal recessive Alport syndrome, and autosomal dominant Alport syndrome.

Protease-activated receptor 1 mediates thrombin-dependent, cell-mediated renal inflammation in crescentic glomerulonephritis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 is a cellular receptor for thrombin that is activated after proteolytic cleavage. The contribution of PAR-1 to inflammatory cell-mediated renal injury was assessed in murine crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN).

Glomerular basement membrane disorders and the kidney

open access: yesMedicine, 2011
The glomerular basement membrane (GBM) is the vital barrier between blood and glomerular filtrate. Diseases that damage it generally cause haematuria initially, but as architecture becomes disordered proteinuria becomes an increasing feature. Inflammatory glomerulonephritis most commonly does this, but genetic abnormalities of GBM components are ...

The RhoA guanine exchange factor ABR: a glucose‐sensitive mediator of actin reorganization in feto‐placental arterial endothelial cells altered by gestational diabetes mellitus

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of proposed relationship between hyperglycaemia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), active BCR‐related (ABR), RhoA and actin organization of feto‐placental arterial endothelial cells (fpEC). Hyperglycaemia upregulates ABR, which in turn increases RhoA activation.
