Producing Purer Podocytes [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2019
Podocytes are highly specialized cells that play a central role in many renal disorders. For many years, podocyte research has been stymied by an inability to culture these cells in a well differentiated state.

Preparation of Human Kidney Progenitor Cultures and Their Differentiation into Podocytes

Bio-Protocol, 2023
Kidney diseases are a global health concern. Modeling of kidney disease for translational research is often challenging because of species specificities or the postmitotic status of kidney epithelial cells that make primary cultures, for example ...

Disruption of Mitochondrial Dynamics and Integrity Drives Divergent Metabolic Flexibility and Resilience in Podocytes. [PDF]

FASEB J
We investigated two models of mitochondrial dysfunction in podocytes, using two cell culture models: podocytes isolated from mice with Oma1 deletion (Oma1del) and mouse podocytes modified with an inducible knockdown of PHB2 (Phb2kd). OMA1 deficiency induced a glycolytic shift, enhanced glutamine anaplerosis, and sustained energy homeostasis after ...

The expression and significance of neuronal iconic proteins in podocytes.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Growing evidence suggests that there are many common cell biological features shared by neurons and podocytes; however, the mechanism of podocyte foot process formation remains unclear. Comparing the mechanisms of process formation between two cell types

A Liquid-Based Cytology System, without the Use of Cytocentrifugation, for Detection of Podocytes in Urine Samples of Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy

Journal of Diabetes Research, 2019
Objective. Podocytes have highly differentiated functions and are extremely difficult to grow; thus, damage of podocytes is associated with glomerular dysfunction.

ADAM10 is expressed in human podocytes and found in urinary vesicles of patients with glomerular kidney diseases

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2010
Background The importance of the Notch signaling in the development of glomerular diseases has been recently described. Therefore we analyzed in podocytes the expression and activity of ADAM10, one important component of the Notch signaling complex ...

Unravelling the Role of PAX2 Mutation in Human Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

Biomedicines, 2021
No effective treatments are available for familial steroid-resistant Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), characterized by proteinuria due to ultrastructural abnormalities in glomerular podocytes. Here, we studied a private PAX2 mutation identified
