Gα12 Activation in Podocytes Leads to Cumulative Changes in Glomerular Collagen Expression, Proteinuria and Glomerulosclerosis [PDF]
, 2012 Glomerulosclerosis is a common pathologic finding that often progresses to renal failure. The mechanisms of chronic kidney disease progression are not well-defined but may include activation of numerous vasoactive and inflammatory pathways.

P4‐ATPases as Phospholipid Flippases: From Membrane Dynamics to Human Disorders
Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.ABSTRACT P4‐ATPases (P4 subfamily of P‐type ATPases) flippase complex includes an α‐subunit responsible for catalysis and a supporting β‐subunit, which consumes energy by catalyzing the hydrolysis of ATP, thereby facilitating the translocation of aminophospholipids from the outer to the inner leaflet of cellular membranes to maintain the asymmetric ...

Normal and Dysregulated Sphingolipid Metabolism: Contributions to Podocyte Injury and Beyond
CellsPodocyte health is vital for maintaining proper glomerular filtration in the kidney. Interdigitating foot processes from podocytes form slit diaphragms which regulate the filtration of molecules through size and charge selectivity. The abundance of lipid

Profilin1 is required for prevention of mitotic catastrophe in murine and human glomerular diseases
The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2023 The progression of proteinuric kidney diseases is associated with podocyte loss, but the mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Podocytes reenter the cell cycle to repair double-stranded DNA breaks.

Innate Immune Activity in Glomerular Podocytes [PDF]
, 2017 Glomerular podocytes are specialized in structure and play an essential role in glomerular filtration. In addition, podocyte stress can initiate glomerular damage by inducing the injury of other glomerular cell types.

Fibroblast‐specific palladin drives kidney fibrosis via MRTF–SRF signaling
The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.Abstract Fibrosis is a common end‐stage pathway of progressive chronic kidney diseases. Previously we demonstrated that myocardin‐related transcription factor (MRTF)–serum response factor (SRF) signaling drives the expression of fibrosis‐related molecules through actin cytoskeleton dynamics in renal fibroblasts.

Activation of podocyte Notch mediates early Wt1 glomerulopathy [PDF]
, 2018 The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene, WT1, encodes a zinc finger protein that regulates podocyte development and is highly expressed in mature podocytes. Mutations in the WT1 gene are associated with the development of renal failure due to the formation of ...

Advancing Extracellular Vesicle Research: A Review of Systems Biology and Multiomics Perspectives
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound vesicles secreted by various cell types into the extracellular space and play a role in intercellular communication. Their molecular cargo varies depending on the cell of origin and its functional state.

Research advances on the role of ubiquitin proteasome in podocyte injury of diabetic kidney disease
Linchuang shenzangbing zazhiDiabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a disease of abnormal renal structure and function due to long-term hyperglycemia. Podocyte injury is a major cause of renal inflammation, glomerular filtration barrier injury and renal fibrosis.
