Antisense and the Kidney

open access: yesKidney and Blood Pressure Research, 1996
Antisense oligonucleotides are being used as gene-therapeutic agents. This short overview focuses on the in vivo kinetics and on potential in vivo applications for research purposes as well as therapeutic applications. The most promising experimental results have been obtained with oligonucleotides targeted against genes involved in cell proliferation,

IL-27: A Double-Edged Sword in Immune Regulation via JAK-STAT Orchestration

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research
Interleukin-27 (IL-27) is a multifunctional cytokine produced mainly by innate immune cells that regulates immune responses primarily through the Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway. The role of IL-

Implementing a multisite shared haemodialysis care programme

open access: yesBMJ Open Quality
Adults receiving centre-based haemodialysis (HD) have low levels of patient activation which are associated with poorer outcomes. Shared haemodialysis care (SHC) describes an intervention whereby individuals are supported to undertake elements of their ...

Quantitative proteomic analysis reveals different characteristics of bladder cancer cells after exposure to bisphenol A

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bisphenol A (BPA), a common chemical in plastics, exerts dual effects on bladder cancer cells: low doses promote growth and migration, while high doses suppress growth and migration. Multi‐omics and bioinformatics reveal BPA acts via MAPK and inflammatory pathways.

Baseline total kidney volume and the rate of kidney growth are associated with chronic kidney disease progression in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease

open access: yes, 2018
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by progressive enlargement of kidney cysts leading to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Identification of an early biomarker that can predict progression

Proteasomal degradation of intracellularly expressed Amblyomin‐X limits suicide gene therapy potential in melanoma cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores the feasibility of expressing the antitumoral protein Amblyomin‐X through a suicide gene therapy approach and investigates its intracellular fate after gene delivery. Although the gene is efficiently expressed, melanoma cells rapidly degrade the Amblyomin‐X protein via proteasome activity.

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.

GEN1 as a risk factor for human congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract

open access: yesHuman Genomics
Background Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are prevalent birth defects. Although pathogenic CAKUT genes are known, they are insufficient to reveal the causes for all patients.

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.
