In vivo characterization of a podocyte-expressed short podocin isoform

BMC Nephrology, 2023
The most common genetic causes of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) are mutations in the NPHS2 gene, which encodes the cholesterol-binding, lipid-raft associated protein podocin. Mass spectrometry and cDNA sequencing revealed the existence of a

Reflective versus predictive value of urinary podocin, nephrin, and their ratio in diabetic kidney disease: a 12-month retrospective cohort study [PDF]

Frontiers in Nephrology
IntroductionPodocyte injury plays a central role in the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Urinary podocin, nephrin, and the podocin–nephrin ratio (PNR) have been proposed as early indicators of glomerular injury, but their prognostic value ...

The MEC-2E isoform with a large C-terminal completely rescues the touch sensation defect of C. elegans [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Human podocin and C. elegans MEC-2 belong to the stomatin protein superfamily. They share 49% identity and 91% similarity both in the evolutionary conserved PHB domain (123-284 aa) and in the oligomerization region (273-351 aa).

Longitudinal Study of the Vascular Glycocalyx and Urinary Podocyte Markers During Pregnancy [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background We aimed to assess the longitudinal changes of glycocalyx, a proteoglycan/glycoprotein layer that lines and protects endothelial cells in normotensive pregnancies (NPs); to correlate glycocalyx parameters with kidney injury markers (podocin ...

Preservation of Urinary Podocyte Markers in Diabetic Kidney Disease by Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor Therapy [PDF]

Kidney Diseases
Introduction: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) is a standard treatment for kidney and cardiovascular protection in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). We investigated the effect of SGLT2i on the urinary podocyte-associated molecule

Peptide Charge Derivatization as a Tool for Early Detection of Preeclampsia by Mass Spectrometry—A Comparison with the ELISA Test

Molecules, 2021
Early detection of any preeclampsia biomarkers may lower the risk of mortality, both for a mother and a child. Our study focuses on techniques for preeclampsia biomarker identification by comparing the results of a method using liquid chromatography mass

A novel domain regulating degradation of the glomerular slit diaphragm protein podocin in cell culture systems. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mutations in the gene NPHS2 are the most common cause of hereditary steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Its gene product, the stomatin family member protein podocin represents a core component of the slit diaphragm, a unique structure that bridges the ...
