Cdk5 Contributes to Diabetic Islet β Cell and Kidney Injury by Impairing Autophagy. [PDF]
FASEB JOver‐activation of cyclin‐dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is involved in the development of diabetes and its complications. Mechanistically, Cdk5 expression was upregulated in diabetic mice, which induced attenuated autophagy and increased apoptosis of islet β cells, as well as decreased insulin secretion.

The Role of Palladin in Podocytes [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2018 Background Podocyte loss and effacement of interdigitating podocyte foot processes are the major cause of a leaky filtration barrier and ESRD. Because the complex three-dimensional morphology of podocytes depends on the actin cytoskeleton, we studied the role in podocytes of the actin bundling protein palladin, which is ...

Crosstalk Between SMPDL3b and NADPH Oxidases Mediates Radiation-Induced Damage of Renal Podocytes
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 Patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) for various tumors localized in the abdomen or pelvis often suffer from radiation nephrotoxicity as collateral damage. Renal podocytes are vulnerable targets for ionizing radiation and contribute to radiation-induced

The podocyte and the proteoglycan [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2016 proteoglycans (PGs) consist of a core protein and linear sugar side chains [glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)] attached to the core protein, e.g., agrin, perlecan, glypican, and syndecan. GAGs comprise repeating duplex sugar units made of an aminosugar (e.g., N -acetylglucosamine or N -acetylgalactosamine)

Role of the podocyte in proteinuria [PDF]
Pediatric Nephrology, 2011 In recent years, the podocyte, with its elaborate cytoarchitecture and slit diaphragm, has been the focus of extensive research, yet its precise role in the glomerular filtration barrier is still debated. There are puzzling observations indicating that a comprehensive mechanistic model for glomerular filtration is still necessary.

A combinatorial approach of Proteomics and Systems Biology in unravelling the mechanisms of acute kidney injury (AKI): involvement of NMDA receptor GRIN1 in murine AKI [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent condition in hospitalised patients undergoing major surgery or the critically ill and is associated with increased mortality.

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2011 The podocyte plays a key role both in maintenance of the glomerular filtration barrier and in glomerular structural integrity. Podocyte injury and loss contribute to proteinuria and progressive sclerosis. Inhibitors of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) have variably decreased or caused proteinuria and sclerosis in human disease and experimental ...

Albumin uptake in human podocytes: a possible role for the cubilin-amnionless (CUBAM) complex [PDF]
, 2017 Albumin re-uptake is a receptor-mediated pathway located in renal proximal tubuli. There is increasing evidence of glomerular protein handling by podocytes, but little is known about the mechanism behind this process.
