MicroRNAs in Podocyte Injury in Diabetic Nephropathy [PDF]
Diabetic nephropathy is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus and is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Podocyte injury contributes to the development of diabetic nephropathy.

Disruption of Myosin 1e Promotes Podocyte Injury [PDF]
Myosin 1e (Myo1e) is one of two Src homology 3 domain-containing "long-tailed" type I myosins in vertebrates, whose functions in health and disease are incompletely understood. Here, we demonstrate that Myo1e localizes to podocytes in the kidney. We generated Myo1e-knockout mice and found that they exhibit proteinuria, signs of chronic renal injury ...

Podocyte Injury Damages Other Podocytes [PDF]
Loss of podocytes promotes glomerulosclerosis, but whether this results from a continued primary insult or a secondary mechanism triggered by the initial loss of podocytes is unknown. We generated chimeric mice in which only a subpopulation of podocytes expressed hCD25, which is the receptor for the immunotoxin LMB2.

Podocyte Injury in Lupus Nephritis [PDF]
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by a broad spectrum of renal lesions. In lupus glomerulonephritis, histological classifications are based on immune-complex (IC) deposits and hypercellularity lesions (mesangial and/or endocapillary) in the glomeruli.

Recent Advances in Traditional Chinese Medicine for Treatment of Podocyte Injury
Podocyte is also called glomerular epithelial cell, which has been considered as the final gatekeeper of glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). As a major contributor to proteinuria, podocyte injury underlies a variety of glomerular diseases and becomes ...

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.

Receptor activator of NF-kappaB and podocytes: towards a function of a novel receptor-ligand pair in the survival response of podocyte injury. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Glomerulosclerosis correlates with reduction in podocyte number that occurs through mechanisms which include apoptosis. Podocyte injury or podocyte loss in the renal glomerulus has been proposed as the crucial mechanism in the development of ...

Podocytes form a key component of the glomerular filtration barrier. Damage to podocytes is referred to as “podocyte disease.” There are many causes of podocyte injury, including primary injury, secondary injury, and gene mutations.

Podocyte injuries exacerbate mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis [PDF]
From the observations of morphology seen in early phases of the experimental models of the irreversible mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, we hypothesized that podocyte injury is one of the important factors in bringing upon irreversible glomerular alterations.

Podocyte Biology and Response to Injury [PDF]
The visceral glomerular epithelial cell, also called podocyte, is a terminally differentiated cell that lines the outer aspect of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). It therefore forms the final barrier to protein loss, which explains why podocyte injury is typically associated with ...
