CdGAP maintains podocyte function and modulates focal adhesions in a Src kinase-dependent manner
Scientific Reports, 2022 Rho GTPases are regulators of the actin cytoskeleton and their activity is modulated by GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) and guanine nucleotide exchanging factors (GEFs).

Erk5 Mediates TGFβ1-induced Loss of Phenotype and Function in Human Podocytes [PDF]
, 2014 Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most common causes of renal impairment. Podocytes are specialised cells integral to normal kidney physiology, however in diabetes injury occurs leading to compromised function which is a critical factor in the ...

CXCL16 and oxLDL are induced in the onset of diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
, 2009 Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of end-stage renal failure worldwide. Oxidative stress has been reported to be a major culprit of the disease and increased oxidized low density lipoprotein (oxLDL) immune complexes were found in patients with ...

cAMP signaling prevents podocyte apoptosis via activation of protein kinase A and mitochondrial fusion. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Our previous in vitro studies suggested that cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling prevents adriamycin (ADR) and puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)-induced apoptosis in podocytes.

Activation of Rac-1 and RhoA contributes to podocyte injury in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
, 2013 Rho-family GTPases like RhoA and Rac-1 are potent regulators of cellular signaling that control gene expression, migration and inflammation. Activation of Rho-GTPases has been linked to podocyte dysfunction, a feature of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). We

Regulation of podocyte survival and endoplasmic reticulum stress by fatty acids and its modification by Stearoyl-CoA desaturases and cyclic AMP [PDF]
, 2011 Podocyte apoptosis is a hallmark in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Several factors of the diabetic milieu are known to induce podocyte apoptosis. Currently, the role of free fatty acids (FFAs) for podocytopathy and podocyte
