The podocyte is a key cell in the selective filtering action of the glomerular capillary wall. Podocyte injury is of pathogenetic and prognostic significance in human glomerular disease; podocyte repair and regeneration are important therapeutic targets.

Podocytes, the postmitotic and highly branched epithelial cells of the glomerulus, play a pivotal role for the function of the glomerular filtration barrier and the development of chronic kidney disease. It has long been discussed whether podocytes in vivo are motile and can laterally migrate in a coordinated way along the capillaries until they reach ...

From placenta to podocyte: vascular and podocyte pathophysiology in preeclampsia
Clinical Nephrology, 2012Preeclampsia is a disorder of hypertension and proteinuria that affects 6 - 8% of normal pregnancies. Recent research has revealed many molecular mechanisms that may contribute to systemic endothelial dysfunction, glomerular capillary endotheliosis, dysregulation of the glomerular filtration apparatus, and podocyte loss. An ischemic placenta elaborates

Differentiation of parietal epithelial cells into podocytes [PDF]
Nature Reviews Nephrology, 2014 A new study demonstrates that knockdown of miR-193a in human parietal epithelial cells induces their differentiation into podocytes. Inhibition of miR-193a in a model of nephrotoxic nephritis resulted in reduced proteinuria and crescent formation. These data suggest that promoting differentiation of parietal progenitors into podocytes has potential ...

Cytoskeletal dynamics play important roles during normal podocyte development, in maintenance of the healthy glomerular filter, and in glomerular pathology. During the past few years, essential progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern podocyte cytoskeletal dynamics, nevertheless this knowledge remains incomplete ...

The role of the podocyte in glomerulosclerosis
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1999Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is a pathological hallmark of many forms of progressive renal disease. The 'classic' lesion, based on the adhesion of the capillary tuft to Bowman's capsule, results from the loss of podocytes from the capillary basement membrane.

Recent advances have identified the podocyte as a key target in glomerular injury. The podocyte is a highly specialized cell which is responsible for the glomerular permselectivity for proteins in the kidney. Podocyte injury or loss leads to proteinuria. Apoptosis has been shown to contribute to renal cell loss, including loss of podocytes.

Podocytes, glucose and insulin
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2010In the last decade the importance of the podocyte in maintaining the integrity of the glomerular filtration barrier and prevention of albuminuria has become obvious. The leading cause of renal failure in the developed world is diabetic nephropathy. This has a defined natural history of progressive albuminuria.

Knowledge of podocyte biology is growing rapidly. Podocytes are crucially involved in most hereditary diseases affecting the glomerulus, which all exhibit podocyte-specific defects, that is, foot process effacement and protein leakage. Efforts to understand molecular mechanisms causing these derangements are increasingly successful and will allow a ...

The role of podocytes in proteinuria
Nephrology, 2007SUMMARY: Glomerular visceral epithelial cells, also known as podocytes, are highly specialized epithelial cells that cover the outer layer of the glomerular basement membrane. Podocytes consist of cell bodies, major processes and foot processes (FP) of neighbouring cells, with the filtration slits bridged by the slit membrane between them.
