Uromodulin is expressed in renal primary cilia and UMOD mutations result in decreased ciliary uromodulin expression [PDF]

, 2017
Uromodulin (UMOD) mutations are responsible for three autosomal dominant tubulo-interstitial nephropathies including medullary cystic kidney disease type 2 (MCKD2), familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy and glomerulocystic kidney disease.

Infections Complicating Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: A Study Emphasizing Graft-Related Septicemia [PDF]

, 1976
In 93 recipients of 102 orthotopic liver homografts, the incidence of bacteremia or fungemia exceeded 70%. The graft itself was usually an entry site for systemic infection after both immunologic and nonimmunologic parenchymal injury, especially if there

The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

Inhalable Artificial Polymeric Nucleases Degrading Neutrophil Extracellular Trap‐DNAs and Alleviating Pulmonary Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is promoted by NETs that induce fibroblast activation. PEG‐PIm, a polymeric artificial DNase is reported that efficiently degrades NET‐DNA via phosphodiester bond hydrolysis. Inhalation of PEG‐PIm in a mouse PF model prevents fibroblast activation and fibrosis progression, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for NET ...

The association of preoperative cardiac stress testing with 30-day death and myocardial infarction among patients undergoing kidney transplantation [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND:Although periodic cardiac stress testing is commonly used to screen patients on the waiting list for kidney transplantation for ischemic heart disease, there is little evidence to support this practice.

Polycystin‐1 Mutant Alters Mechanotransduction in Response to Collagen and Extracellular Matrix Stiffness via Daam1‐Dependent Microfilament Remodeling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polycystin‐1 (PC1) senses collagen and ECM stiffness to promote tumor migration via Daam1‐mediated actin remodeling. A cleavage‐resistant PC1 mutant enhances YAP nuclear translocation and CTGF expression, which activates CAFs and further stiffens the ECM, forming a feed‐forward loop that drives tumor progression and metastasis.

miR-25-3p promotes proliferation and inhibits autophagy of renal cells in polycystic kidney mice by regulating ATG14-Beclin 1

Renal Failure, 2020
MicroRNAs are involved in the regulation of the autophagy and proliferation in several diseases. This study aims to verify the role of miR-25-3p in the proliferation and autophagy of renal cells in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). We found that kidney to
