Ameliorative effects of glycine on cobalt chloride‐induced hepato‐renal toxicity in rats
Background The important roles of liver and kidney in the elimination of injurious chemicals make them highly susceptible to the noxious activities of various toxicants including cobalt chloride (CoCl2). This study was designed to investigate the role of

Cloning of Rat Homologue of Podocin [PDF]
Podocin is identified as a product of the gene mutated in a patient with autosomal recessive steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Although podocin is reported to be located at the slit diaphragm area, the precise role of podocin for maintaining the barrier function of the slit diaphragm has not been clearly elucidated.

Lmx1b and FoxC Combinatorially Regulate Podocin Expression in Podocytes [PDF]
Podocin is a key protein of the kidney podocyte slit diaphragm protein complex, an important part of the glomerular filtration barrier. Mutations in the human podocin gene NPHS2 cause familial or sporadic forms of renal disease owing to the disruption of filtration barrier integrity.

Elevated Levels of Urinary Podocyte-Derived Microparticles in Nephrotic Syndrome
BACKGROUND: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is the most common glomerular disease in childhood. The proposed hypothesis for the pathogenesis of this disease has changed over time, from immune dysregulation theory and systemic circulating factors theory, to the ...

The amino acid mutations of the podocin in proteinuria: a meta-analysis [PDF]
While many previous studies have reported an association between the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the podocin and proteinuria occurred, a conclusive relationship has not been defined in every oligoallelic state of amino acid (AA) mutations in podocin.

Kidney Organoids Generated Using an Allelic Series of NPHS2 Point Variants Reveal Distinct Intracellular Podocin Mistrafficking [PDF]
Background: NPHS2 variants are the most common cause of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in >1-month-old children. Missense NPHS2 variants were reported to cause mistrafficking of the encoded protein, PODOCIN, but this conclusion was based on ...

Podocin and Nephrotic Syndrome [PDF]
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is the most frequent glomerular disease in childhood. Most of the children respond to corticosteroid therapy whereas 10% of them fail to respond to this treatment.

Podocin mutations in sporadic focal-segmental glomerulosclerosis occurring in adulthood [PDF]
To the Editor: Podocin is a key component of the podocyte slit diaphragm. Mutations of podocin cause recessive steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome that evolves to renal failure in early childhood [1]. They have also been found in children with sporadic nephrotic syndrome [2] and variable outcome including patients with steroid and cyclosporine ...

The early asymptomatic stage of glomerular injury is a diagnostic challenge in the course of renal and extra-renal disease, e.g., heart insufficiency. It was found that podocin, a podocyte-specific protein present in the urine, may serve as a biomarker ...

High complexity of cell and tissue proteomes limits the investigation of proteomic biomarkers. Therefore, the methods of enrichment of some chemical groups of peptides including thiopeptides are important tools that may facilitate the proteomic analysis ...
