This study aimed to investigate the antiproteinuric and hyperkalemic mechanisms activated by dual renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade in renovascular hypertensive rats (2-kidney 1-clip model [2K-1C]). Six weeks after clipping the left renal artery or

Biomarkers of Kidney Disease in Horses: A Review of the Current Literature
Creatinine only allows detection of kidney disease when 60 to 75% of the glomerular function is lost and is therefore not an ideal marker of disease. Additional biomarkers could be beneficial to assess kidney function and disease.

CASE OF NON-SEVERE CONGENITAL NEPHROTIC SYNDROME
Nephrotic syndrome is a severe renal disease that may result in the end-stage renal failure despite the extent of proteinuria. Prognosis and tactics of therapy of nephrotic syndrome depend both on the morphological diagnosis and on the cause of the ...

Containing anti-PLA2R IgG antibody induces podocyte injury in idiopathic membranous nephropathy
Background Idiopathic membranous nephropathy is widely recognized as an autoimmune kidney disease that is accompanied by the discovery of several autoantibodies, and the antibody subclass in the circulation of patients with iMN is mainly IgG.

Reduction of podocin expression.
Western blot analysis of podocytes showing a lower expression of podocin with increasing concentrations (0-100 nM) of EVL and SRL after 48 h of incubation, respectively (A, B); no differences in podocin expression analyzing EVL and SRL (20 nM) in ...

Characterization of a short isoform of the kidney protein podocin in human kidney [PDF]
Abstract Background Steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome is a severe hereditary disease often caused by mutations in the NPHS2 gene. This gene encodes the lipid binding protein podocin which localizes to the slit diaphragm of podocytes and is essential for the maintenance of an intact glomerular filtration barrier ...

PodocinTVV339,340,341 regulates the turnover of podocin through a lipid raft-independent mechanism.
A. Differentiated podocytes stably expressing Flag-tagged podocin, podocin1–285 or podocinTVV339,340,341AAA were exposed to the translation inhibitor cycloheximide for the times as indicated and analyzed per western blot using anti-Flag antibody (a ...

The domain podocin340–350 regulates the subcellular localization of podocin.
A–D. Various truncations of Flag-tagged podocin were coexpressed with eGfp-tagged CD63 in HeLa-cells. Immunofluorescence using anti-Flag antibody revealed a primarily membranous staining pattern for podocin1–285 and podocin1–340 (a and b).
