tRF-003634 alleviates adriamycin-induced podocyte injury by reducing the stability of TLR4 mRNA.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Podocyte injury plays a key role in the production of proteinuria and is closely related to the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Alleviating podocyte injury is beneficial to prevent the occurrence and development of CKD.

Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Define a Proinflammatory and Profibrotic Niche After Kidney Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating single‐cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, tenascin C (TNC) is unveiled as a central organizer of the proinflammatory and profibrotic niche in kidney fibrosis. TNC promotes macrophage activation through TLR4/NF‐κB signaling, leading to renal inflammation and fibrosis.

Systemic gene therapy with thymosin β4 alleviates glomerular injury in mice

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Plasma ultrafiltration in the kidney occurs across glomerular capillaries, which are surrounded by epithelial cells called podocytes. Podocytes have a unique shape maintained by a complex cytoskeleton, which becomes disrupted in glomerular disease ...

A Compendium of Urinary Biomarkers Indicative of Glomerular Podocytopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
It is well known that glomerular podocyte injury and loss are present in numerous nephropathies and that the pathophysiologic consecution of disease hinges upon the fate of the podocyte.

A Review of Podocyte Biology [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Nephrology, 2018
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Podocyte biology is a developing science that promises to help improve understanding of the mechanistic nature of multiple diseases associated with proteinuria. Proteinuria in nephrotic syndrome has been linked to mechanistic dysfunctions in the renal glomerulus involving the function of podocyte ...

Regulation of Neuroinflammation by Microglial DUBA‐IRAK1‐IKKβ Signaling Loop

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The protein levels of deubiquitinating enzyme A (DUBA) are rapidly upregulated in microglia after activation of Toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4). In turn, DUBA potentiates TLR4‐induced proinflammatory signal transduction in microglia by stabilizing interleukin‐1 receptor activated kinase 1 (IRAK1) through K48 deubiquitination.

Lipid peroxidation regulates podocyte migration and cytoskeletal structure through redox sensitive RhoA signaling

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2018
Early podocyte loss is characteristic of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) in obesity and diabetes. Since treatments for hyperglycemia and hypertension do not prevent podocyte loss, there must be additional factors causing podocyte depletion.

A rare case of renal thrombotic microangiopathy associated with Castleman’s disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Castleman’s disease (CD) is an uncommon, heterogeneous lympho-proliferative disorder leading to high circulating levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

Podocyte Biology for the Bedside [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2011
The explosion of podocyte biology during the last decade has radically altered our views on the pathophysiologic process of proteinuria, glomerular disease, and progressive kidney disease. In this review, we highlight some of these landmark findings, but focus on recent advances in the field and implications for translating this biology into therapy ...

Sympathetic Activation Promotes Kidney Fibrosis in Mice via Macrophage‐Derived N2ICD‐Enriched Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Norepinephrine/α2B‐adrenoceptor axis promotes the secretion of Notch2 intracellular domain (N2ICD)‐enriched extracellular vesicles (EVs) from macrophages. These EVs deliver N2ICD into fibroblasts, thereby inducing their activation. Deletion of Notch2 or α2B‐AR in macrophages disrupts N2ICD‐enriched EV formation and alleviates kidney fibrosis in mice ...
