Risk of end‐stage renal disease in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes according to cumulative low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol levels

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
High cumulative LDL‐C levels increase ESRD risk in type 2 diabetes, particularly among patients using insulin, those receiving multiple antidiabetic medications, and those with longer diabetes duration. Longer exposure to elevated LDL‐C further increases risk, underscoring the need for intensive LDL‐C control.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

SERPINB3 delays glomerulonephritis and attenuates the lupus-like disease in lupus murine models by inducing a more tolerogenic immune phenotype [PDF]

, 2018
Objective: To explore the effects of SERPINB3 administration in murine lupus models with a focus on lupus-like nephritis. Methods: 40 NZB/W F1 mice were subdivided into 4 groups and intraperitoneally injected with recombinant SERPINB3 (7.5 \u3bcg/0.1 mL ...

TREM2+ macrophages accumulate in childhood IgA nephropathy and soluble TREM2 represents a reliable non‐invasive biomarker

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a common type of primary glomerulonephritis in children. The pathogenesis of childhood IgAN remains unclear, and there is a lack of effective non‐invasive biomarkers for this disease. Single‐cell RNA sequencing was performed in children with IgAN to delineate cellular and molecular compositions, and subcluster ...

Value of original and modified pathological scoring systems for prognostic prediction in paraffin-embedded donor kidney core biopsy

Renal Failure
Background No study has validated, compared and adapted scoring systems for prognosis prediction based on donor kidney core biopsy (CB), with less glomeruli than wedge biopsy.Methods A total of 185 donor kidney CB specimens were reviewed using seven ...

Identification of a novel regulatory mechanism for the disease associated protein, uPAR [PDF]

, 2014
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), as determined through a series of statistical association studies collectively known as genome-wide association (GWA) studies, have provided us with a hypothesis free approach for the investigation into ...

One day of environment‐induced heat stress causes injury to the murine kidney

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environment‐induced heat stress (EIHS) results from sustained body temperature elevation owing to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. We hypothesized that EIHS would cause kidney injury and cellular dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, female C57 mice were exposed to EIHS (n = 14; 37.6°C, 42.0% relative humidity) or thermoneutral (TN ...

Activation of podocyte Notch mediates early Wt1 glomerulopathy [PDF]

, 2018
The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene, WT1, encodes a zinc finger protein that regulates podocyte development and is highly expressed in mature podocytes. Mutations in the WT1 gene are associated with the development of renal failure due to the formation of ...

Urinary exosomes aggravate diabetic kidney disease by inducing podocyte ferroptosis via the miR‐217/SIRT1/Nrf2 pathway

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 20, Issue 2, June 2026.
These findings indicate that urinary exosomal miR‐217 promotes podocyte ferroptosis and DKD progression via suppression of the SIRT1/Nrf2 pathway, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for DKD. Abstract Urinary exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) mediate intercellular communication in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a leading contributor to end‐stage renal ...

Beyond Preeclampsia: Focal and Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Presenting as Nephrotic‐Range Proteinuria During Pregnancy, A Clinical Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Nephrotic‐range proteinuria during pregnancy is not always preeclampsia. This case illustrates a steroid‐responsive tip‐variant podocytopathy with normal angiogenic biomarkers (sFlt‐1/PlGF), supporting a non‐placental origin. Renal biopsy confirmed the diagnosis, while concurrent CMV infection may have acted as a potential immunologic trigger ...
