Podocyte‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Induce Endothelial Dysfunction by Triggering ER Stress in Glomerular Disease

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Podocyte injury and endothelial cell dysfunction are the hallmarks of glomerular disease. How these two events are connected remains largely unknown. This study aimed to delineate the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in mediating podocyte‐endothelial communication in glomerular disease.

Podocalyxin regulates astrocytoma cell invasion and survival against temozolomide

Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2013
Increased podocalyxin (PODXL) expression has been associated with a subset of aggressive types of cancer. To the best of our knowledge, the effect of PODXL on astrocytoma cell invasion and survival against chemotherapy agent was investigated for the first time in the present study.

Identification and characterization of novel glomerulus-associated genes and proteins [PDF]

, 2010
The kidney is responsible for sieving the circulating blood to eliminate water-soluble waste products and potentially toxic substances from the body. The filtration step occurs in specialized filtration units called glomeruli.

Genetic ablation of calcium-independent phospholipase A2γ induces glomerular injury in mice [PDF]

, 2016
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

LRP4+ Astrocytes: A Unique Subpopulation Crucial for Blood Vessel Maintenance and Function in the Somatosensory Cortex of Normal and 5xFAD Mice

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 2, February 2026.
Lrp4+ astrocytes, uniquely vessel‐associated and GFAP−, are enriched in the pia. They support laminin‐α5+ basement membrane assembly and regulate vessel diameter and blood flow. They are reduced in 5xFAD brains, and their ablation worsens both vascular and Aβ pathology.

Broad and thematic remodeling of the surfaceome and glycoproteome on isogenic cells transformed with driving proliferative oncogenes. [PDF]

, 2020
The cell surface proteome, the surfaceome, is the interface for engaging the extracellular space in normal and cancer cells. Here we apply quantitative proteomics of N-linked glycoproteins to reveal how a collection of some 700 surface proteins is ...

Therapeutic Reprogramming of Glioblastoma Phenotypic States Using Multifunctional Heparin Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, 14 January 2026.
This study presents heparin‐derived nanoparticles (HP‐NPs) as a novel precision medicine platform that combines therapeutic and delivery functions. HP‐NPs target drug‐resistant glioblastoma stem cells, reprogramming them into a drug‐sensitive phenotype and significantly reducing tumor progression.

Determination of critical epitope of PcMab-47 against human podocalyxin

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2018
Podocalyxin (PODXL) is a type I transmembrane protein, which is highly glycosylated. PODXL is expressed in some types of human cancer tissues including oral, breast, and lung cancer tissues and may promote tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. We previously produced PcMab-47, a novel anti-PODXL monoclonal antibody (mAb) which reacts with endogenous ...

Low and High Pressor Doses of Ang II Lead to Two Distinct Phenotypes of Hypertensive Heart Disease in Mice

APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases, being the most common comorbidity and the biggest risk factor in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a known hypertension and heart failure inducer in mice, but its role in the causality in phenotype development remains unclear.
