Minimal Kidney Disease Phenotype in Heterozygous Null Mice

Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease, 2023
Background: Shroom family member 3 (SHROOM3) encodes an actin-associated protein that regulates epithelial morphology during development. Several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variances primarily in the 5’ region of ...

Prostaglandin E2 production by glomeruli and collecting tubules isolated from rat kidney.

The Japanese Journal of Physiology, 1987
The effects of vasopressin, angiotensin II, and calcium ionophore A23187 were examined and compared on endogenous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production, in the absence of exogenous arachidonate, by glomeruli and cortical and medullary collecting tubules freshly prepared from rat kidney. Angiotensin II stimulated PGE2 production in the glomeruli but not in

Response to Allopurinol and Febuxostat According to the Fractional Excretion of Urate in Men With Gout

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Body mass index (BMI), glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and pretreatment urate levels have been reported to influence the urate‐lowering response to allopurinol. We investigated whether the fractional excretion of uric acid (FEUA) also modulates this response and relates to oxypurinol concentrations.

Single-cell transcriptome sequencing reveals molecular mechanisms of renal injury in essential hypertension

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2023
Introduction: Hypertensive nephropathy is characterized by glomerular and tubulointerstitial damage, but we know little about changes in cell-specific gene expression in the early stages of hypertensive kidney injury, which usually has no obvious ...

Ultrastructure of the reproductive system of the black swamp snake (\u3ci\u3eSeminatrix pygaea\u3c/i\u3e). Part III. The sexual segment of the male kidney. [PDF]

, 2002
In mature male snakes and lizards, a distal portion of the nephron is hypertrophied in relation to its appearance in females and immature males. This sexual segment of the male kidney apparently provides seminal fluid that is mixed with sperm and ...

Identification of an N-terminal glycogen synthase kinase 3 phosphorylation site which regulates the functional localisation of polycystin-2 in vivo and in vitro [PDF]

, 2006
PKD2 is mutated in 15% of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Polycystin-2 (PC2), the PKD2 protein, is a nonselective Ca2 + -permeable cation channel which may function at the cell surface and ER. Nevertheless, the factors

Direct fluorescence measurement of diffusional water permeability in the vasopressin-sensitive kidney collecting tubule

Biophysical Journal, 1988
A fluorescence method has been developed for accurate and instantaneous measurement of transepithelial diffusional water permeability (Pd) in perfused kidney tubules based on the sensitivity of the fluorophore aminonapthelane trisulfonic acid (ANTS) to solution H2O/D2O content.

Implementation of Drug‐Induced Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Kidney Injury in Microphysiological System

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A modular Muscle–Kidney proximal tubule‐on‐a‐chip integrates 3D skeletal muscle and renal proximal tubule tissues to model drug‐induced rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. The coculture system enables dynamic tissue interaction, functional contraction monitoring, and quantification of nephrotoxicity, revealing drug side effect‐induced metabolic ...

Immunoexpression Patterns of Megalin, Cubilin, Caveolin-1, Gipc1 and Dab2IP in the Embryonic and Postnatal Development of the Kidneys in Yotari (Dab1^−/−) Mice

Biomedicines
Our study examines the immunoexpression patterns of Megalin, Cubilin, Caveolin-1, Gipc1 and Dab2IP in the embryonic development (E) and postnatal (P) mouse kidney, with a focus on differentiating patterns between wild-type (wt) and yotari, Dab1−/− (yot ...

Continuous growth of proximal tubular kidney epithelial cells in hormone-supplemented serum-free medium. [PDF]

, 1982
An epithelial cell line from pig kidney (LLC-PK1) with properties of proximal tubular cells can be maintained indefinitely in hormone-supplemented serum-free medium. Continuous growth requires the presence of seven factors: transferrin, insulin, selenium,
