A Review of Podocyte Biology [PDF]
American 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 ...

Journal of the Egyptian National Cancer InstituteBackground Podocytopenia refers to a decrease in the number of podocytes. When podocytes are injured, they may detach leading to podocytopenia, which represents a critical step in the development of podocytopathy and subsequently deterioration of renal ...

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists are known to reduce proteinuria in chronic kidney disease, but their effectiveness in preventing bevacizumab‐related proteinuria has not been well established. In the present multi‐institutional retrospective study, we found that these agents significantly delay the onset of moderate or higher grade proteinuria ...

Calcium sensing in podocytes [PDF]
Kidney International, 2011 Besides its primary function in maintaining systemic calcium homeostasis, the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is expressed by many cell types, with different, sometimes opposite, regulatory functions. Novel work from Oh and collaborators shows that activation of CaSR in podocytes has prosurvival effects and protects the cell from puromycin ...

Periodontitis and Diabetes: Mechanistic Evidence of a Circular Relationship
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This narrative review aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms that connect periodontitis to diabetes (and vice versa) and that influence disease susceptibility, progression and response to treatment. ABSTRACT The circular relationship between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus is one of the most established oral‐systemic links.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activity is significantly increased in the kidneys of Dahl salt‐sensitive (SS) rats during the development of renal injury. Therefore, in the present study we examined whether blockade of mTOR with rapamycin inhibits renal injury in Dahl salt‐sensitive leptin receptor

Isolation of Podocyte Cell Fractions From Mouse Kidney Using Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting (MACS)
Bio-ProtocolGlomerular diseases characterized by injury to post-mitotic epithelial cells called podocytes are a leading cause of chronic kidney disease. Yet, isolating podocytes from the kidney for transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic studies has been a major ...

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is a common type of primary glomerulonephritis in children. The pathogenesis of childhood IgAN remains unclear, and there is a lack of effective non‐invasive biomarkers for this disease. Single‐cell RNA sequencing was performed in children with IgAN to delineate cellular and molecular compositions, and subcluster ...

Born early, age fast: Consequences of premature birth on chronic disease and accelerated ageing
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend ELGANs are exposed to several postnatal pro‐oxidant stressors, including ambient and supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, infections, hyperalimentation, excessive glucocorticoids and intermittent hypoxia. Since endogenous antioxidant defences are underdeveloped, this imbalance promotes oxidative stress and inflammation ...
