Activation of Rac-1 and RhoA contributes to podocyte injury in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
, 2013 Rho-family GTPases like RhoA and Rac-1 are potent regulators of cellular signaling that control gene expression, migration and inflammation. Activation of Rho-GTPases has been linked to podocyte dysfunction, a feature of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). We

A membranous nephropathy variant mimicking minimal change disease. [PDF]
J Pathol Clin ResAbstract This study characterizes a novel disease pattern of membranous nephropathy (MN) that exhibits overlapping clinicopathological features with minimal change disease (MCD), termed ‘MCD‐like MN’. Patients with histologically confirmed MN showing sparse and segmental subepithelial electron‐dense deposits (EDD) but clinically resembling MCD were ...

Research Progress on the Pathological Mechanisms of Podocytes in Diabetic Nephropathy
Journal of Diabetes Research, 2020 Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is not only an important microvascular complication of diabetes but also the main cause of end-stage renal disease. Studies have shown that the occurrence and development of DN are closely related to morphological and functional

Regulation of podocyte survival and endoplasmic reticulum stress by fatty acids and its modification by Stearoyl-CoA desaturases and cyclic AMP [PDF]
, 2011 Podocyte apoptosis is a hallmark in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Several factors of the diabetic milieu are known to induce podocyte apoptosis. Currently, the role of free fatty acids (FFAs) for podocytopathy and podocyte

Podocyte Depletion in Thin GBM and Alport Syndrome.
PLoS ONE, 2016 The proximate genetic cause of both Thin GBM and Alport Syndrome (AS) is abnormal α3, 4 and 5 collagen IV chains resulting in abnormal glomerular basement membrane (GBM) structure/function. We previously reported that podocyte detachment rate measured in

Tracking the stochastic fate of cells of the renin lineage after podocyte depletion using multicolor reporters and intravital imaging. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Podocyte depletion plays a major role in focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS). Because cells of the renin lineage (CoRL) serve as adult podocyte and parietal epithelial cell (PEC) progenitor candidates, we generated Ren1cCre/R26R-ConfettiTG/WT and

Angiopoietin-Like-4, a Potential Target of Tacrolimus, Predicts Earlier Podocyte Injury in Minimal Change Disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Podocyte injury plays central roles in proteinuria and kidney dysfunction, therefore, identifying specific biomarker to evaluate earlier podocyte injury is highly desirable.

CXCL16 and oxLDL are induced in the onset of diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
, 2009 Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of end-stage renal failure worldwide. Oxidative stress has been reported to be a major culprit of the disease and increased oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) immune complexes were found in patients with ...
