Podocytes: recent biomolecular developments
Podocytes are postmitotic renal glomerular cells with multiple ramifications that extend from the cell body. Processes departing from a podocyte interdigitate with corresponding projections from neighboring cells and form an intricate web that enwraps ...

Mutational analysis of the PLCE1 gene in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome [PDF]
International audienceBackground: Mutations in the PLCE1 gene encoding phospholipase C epsilon 1 (PLCε1) have been recently described in patients with early-onset nephrotic syndrome (NS) and diffuse mesangial sclerosis (DMS).

Abstract Preservation of the insulin‐sensitive glomerular podocyte is imperative for normal kidney function. The protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B), T‐cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP), and Src homology phosphatase 2 (SHP2) are established regulators of insulin signaling in vivo and implicated in renal

Role of Protein Kinase C in Podocytes and Development of Glomerular Damage in Diabetic Nephropathy [PDF]
The early glomerular changes in diabetes include a podocyte phenotype with loss of slit diaphragm proteins, changes in the actin cytoskeleton and foot process architecture.

Genetic ablation of calcium-independent phospholipase A2γ induces glomerular injury in mice [PDF]
Glomerular visceral epithelial cells (podocytes) play a critical role in the maintenance of glomerular permselectivity. Podocyte injury, manifesting as proteinuria, is the cause of many glomerular diseases. We reported previously that calcium-independent

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major complications of type 2 diabetes and is associated with coronary disease. Nephrin, a protein mainly expressed in glomeruli, is decreased in DN and other kidney diseases.

Detection of podocyturia in patients with lupus nephritis [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: The podocyturia has been detected in glomerular diseases, such as lupus nephritis (LN), in which proteinuria is an important manifestation, and its occurrence seems to be limited to the active phase of the disease.

Proteinuria in Primary and Secondary Renal Diseases [PDF]
Proteinuria is a strong indicator of kidney disease. Various pathological conditions such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease and hypertension have been shown to provoke secondary kidney problems and significant proteinuria.

Upregulation of nephrin expression occurs at the early stage of nephropathy and decrease in the period 6 months on hyperglycaemic condition. Nephrin is associated with the initial stage of the loss of the permeability barrier in diabetic nephropathy ...
