Gut microbiota dysbiosis and Long COVID susceptibility in chronic kidney disease

VIEW, EarlyView.
This study investigated gut microbiota dysbiosis and its association with Long COVID susceptibility in 224 hemodialysis patients. We found that 35.3% of patients developed Long COVID, characterized by neurological symptoms and elevated inflammatory markers, accompanied by significant gut microbiota alterations including enriched proinflammatory taxa ...

Tmem30a protects against podocyte injury through suppression of pyroptosis

iScience
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

Activation of acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 mediates kidney injury in diabetic nephropathy

JCI Insight, 2023
Albuminuria and podocyte injury are the key cellular events in the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is a nucleocytosolic enzyme responsible for the regulation of metabolic homeostasis in mammalian cells.

Pathogenesis of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis [PDF]

Journal of Pathology and Translational Medicine, 2016
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is characterized by focal and segmental obliteration of glomerular capillary tufts with increased matrix. FSGS is classified as collapsing, tip, cellular, perihilar and not otherwise specified variants according ...

Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...

Weighted Gene Correlation Network Analysis (WGCNA) Detected Loss of MAGI2 Promotes Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) by Podocyte Damage

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Podocyte damage is associated with proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis and decline of renal function. This study aimed to screen critical genes associated with podocyte injury in chronic kidney disease (CKD) by weighted gene correlation ...

Protective effects of klotho on palmitate-induced podocyte injury in diabetic nephropathy.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The anti-aging gene, klotho, has been identified as a multi-functional humoral factor and is implicated in multiple biological processes. However, the effects of klotho on podocyte injury in diabetic nephropathy are poorly understood.

Fn14 signalling participates in pristane‐induced murine lupus through exacerbating oxidative stress

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by oxidative stress and immune dysregulation. Fibroblast growth factor‐inducible 14 (Fn14) has been implicated in tissue injury, but its specific role in SLE pathogenesis remains unclear.

Peripheral κ opioid receptor in pain and inflammation: From molecular signalling and gene expression to drug discovery

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The κ opioid receptor (κ receptor, KOR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor with well established roles in analgesia and immune modulation. Although historically studied primarily in the central nervous system (CNS), growing evidence indicates that κ signalling in peripheral tissues plays an important role in regulating pain, inflammation and immune ...

Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells Induce Podocyte Injury Through Increasing Reactive Oxygen Species in Lupus Nephritis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) has been documented in murine models and patients with lupus nephritis (LN), but the exact role of MDSCs in this process remains largely unknown.
