Urinary biomarkers associated with podocyte injury in lupus nephritis [PDF]
The most prevalent and devastating form of organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is lupus nephritis (LN). LN is characterized by glomerular injury, inflammation, cell proliferation, and necrosis, leading to podocyte injury and tubular ...

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.

Twisted gastrulation, a BMP antagonist, exacerbates podocyte injury.
Podocyte injury is the first step in the progression of glomerulosclerosis. Previous studies have demonstrated the beneficial effect of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (Bmp7) in podocyte injury and the existence of native Bmp signaling in podocytes.

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

Effects of Podocyte Injury on Glomerular Development [PDF]
To study the effects of podocyte injury on glomerular maturation and underlying mechanisms of such effects, puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) was given to neonatal mice at 1 d post partum (1 dpp). Mice with PAN injection had smaller kidney weight (KW) and body weight (BW) at all times and smaller KW/BW at 4, 8, and 12 dpp versus normal saline (NS ...

Tmem30a protects against podocyte injury through suppression of pyroptosis
Summary: Podocytopathies, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), are characterized by podocyte injury and can easily progress to end-stage kidney disease. However, the mechanisms underlying podocyte injury remain unclear. We observed podocyte

Mosaicism of Podocyte Involvement Is Related to Podocyte Injury in Females with Fabry Disease [PDF]
Fabry disease. an X-linked deficiency of α-galactosidase A coded by the GLA gene, leads to intracellular globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulation. Although less common than in males, chronic kidney disease, occurs in ∼ 15% of females. Recent studies highlight the importance of podocyte injury in Fabry nephropathy development and progression.

SPARC upregulation mediates podocyte injury in Alport syndrome mice [PDF]
Background Alport syndrome (AS) is a hereditary kidney disease characterized by hematuria, proteinuria, and progressive kidney failure. Podocyte injury is an important feature of AS, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Podocyte injury in diabetes mellitus [PDF]
The mechanisms of podocyte injury and their correlation with metabolic and haemodynamic disorders in diabetes mellitus are considered in detail; the results of the last experimental and clinical studies on this problem are presented in this review. Authors shined the biomarkers, reflecting expressiveness of podocytopathy and structural and functional ...

Breviscapine alleviates podocyte injury by inhibiting NF-κB/NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis in diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
Podocyte injury is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of diabeticnephropathy (DN). Emerging evidence has demonstrated that breviscapine (Bre) exerts a renoprotective effect on diabetic rats.
