mutation: a benign genetic cause of proteinuria? [PDF]
Childhood Kidney Diseases, 2023 Proteinuria is an important risk factor for renal and cardiovascular disease. It is associated with a risk for glomerulonephritis, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease.

Iron Is Filtered by the Kidney and Is Reabsorbed by the Proximal Tubule [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The aim of this study was to determine the iron (Fe) concentration profile within the lumen of the S2 renal proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) and to resolve whether this nephron segment transported Fe. To do this, we performed in vivo renal micropuncture on Wistar rats, collected PCT tubular fluid from superficial nephrons, and measured Fe concentration.

Expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in mouse renal tubules during kidney development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Bcl-2 and Bax play an important role in apoptosis regulation, as well as in cell adhesion and migration during kidney morphogenesis, which is structurally and functionally related to mitochondria.

Stx2 Induces Differential Gene Expression and Disturbs Circadian Rhythm Genes in the Proximal Tubule
Toxins, 2022 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) causes proximal tubular defects in the kidney. However, factors altered by Shiga toxin (Stx) within the proximal tubules are yet to be shown.

Bioengineered Cystinotic Kidney Tubules Recapitulate a Nephropathic Phenotype
Cells, 2022 Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare and severe disease caused by disruptions in the CTNS gene. Cystinosis is characterized by lysosomal cystine accumulation, vesicle trafficking impairment, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Additionally, cystinotic patients

Mechanosensory function of microvilli of the kidney proximal tubule [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Normal variations in glomerular filtration induce proportional changes in proximal tubule Na + reabsorption. This “glomerulotubular balance” derives from flow dependence of Na + uptake across luminal cell membranes; however, the underlying physical ...

Visualization of Calcium Dynamics in Kidney Proximal Tubules [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2015 Intrarenal changes in cytoplasmic calcium levels have a key role in determining pathologic and pharmacologic responses in major kidney diseases. However, cell-specific delivery of calcium-sensitive probes in vivo remains problematic. We generated a transgenic rat stably expressing the green fluorescent protein-calmodulin-based genetically encoded ...
