Background: Podocyte injury has a direct causal relationship with proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis and, on a chronic level, can lead to irreversible disease progression. Podocyte injury plays a critically decisive role in the development of proteinuric

FGF4-FGFR1 signaling promotes podocyte survival and glomerular function to ameliorate diabetic kidney disease in male mice [PDF]
Podocyte injury is central to diabetic kidney disease (DKD) pathogenesis, however, the mechanisms underlying podocyte loss remain unclear. Emerging evidence underscores the involvement of fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) in renal pathophysiology. Here we

Controversies in Podocyte Loss: Death or Detachment?
Glomerular podocytes are characterized by terminally differentiated epithelial cells with limited proliferating ability; thus, podocyte loss could not be fully compensated by podocyte regeneration.

Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and its receptor VEGFR2 are the main targets of antiangiogenic therapies, and proteinuria is one of the common adverse events associated with the inhibition of the VEGFA/VEGFR2 pathway.

Podocyte injury is an important cause of proteinuria. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (Angptl4) is a secreted glycoprotein and has a role in proteinuria. However, the exact role of Angptl4 in podocyte injury and its upstream regulators has not been clarified.

Podocyte abnormalities are common mechanism driving the progression of glomerular diseases, which account for most chronic kidney diseases (CKDs). However, the role of podocyte in the mechanism of high-risk long-term CKD caused by prematurity has not ...

Background: Podocyte injury contributes to progressive glomerulosclerosis. Previously, we demonstrated the important role of the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in mediating the podocyte injury induced by aldosterone.

PFKFB3 downregulation aggravates Angiotensin II-induced podocyte detachment
Podocytes play a critical role in maintaining normal glomerular filtration, and podocyte loss from the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) initiates and worsens chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Urinary Podocyte Excretion Predicts Urinary Protein Selectivity and Renal Prognosis
Background. Urinary podocyte excretion is related to a reduction in glomerular podocyte numbers, glomerulosclerosis, and urinary protein selectivity.
