IgG Glycosylation‐Dependent CLEC7A Signaling Drives Podocyte Dysfunction in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Background Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that can lead to end‐stage kidney disease and increased mortality. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) from LN patients displays abnormal glycosylation, contributing to podocyte injury.

Quantifying Podocytes and Parietal Epithelial Cells in Human Urine Using Liquid-based Cytology and WT1 Immunoenzyme Staining

Bio-Protocol, 2018
In glomerular disease, podocytes and parietal epithelial cells (PECs) are shed in the urine. Therefore, urinary podocytes and PECs are noninvasive biomarkers of glomerular disease.

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

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Inhibition of SGLT2 protects podocytes in diabetic kidney disease by rebalancing mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes

Cell Communication and Signaling
Background Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have changed the therapeutic landscape for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients, but their underlying mechanisms are complicated and not fully understood.

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

GSK3β drives early diabetic tubulopathy via TFEB‐mediated mitochondrial dysfunction

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial dysfunction, including mitochondrial biogenesis, mitophagy, dynamics and oxidative stress, occurs in the early stages of diabetic tubulopathy, which precede proteinuria and renal histological changes. GSK3β is a potential novel biomarker for the prediction of diabetic tubulopathy.

Redox‐Associated Renal and Male Reproductive Alterations Following Dexamethasone Exposure in Male Rats: Histopathological and Spermatological Evaluations

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dexamethasone (DEX) is widely used in clinical practice, although it may also cause oxidative stress–related damage in different tissues, including the kidney and male reproductive system. This study investigated DEX‐induced renal and reproductive injury in rats and evaluated the modulatory effect of reduced glutathione on DEX‐associated redox

The role of rapamycin in the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway in mitophagy in podocytes

Open Life Sciences
This study aimed to clarify the role of rapamycin in the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway in mitophagy in podocytes and the role of voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) in the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway in mouse glomerular podocytes.

Activation of the Nrf2-ARE Pathway Ameliorates Hyperglycemia-Mediated Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Podocytes Partly Through Sirt1

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Previously we have shown that activation of the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant response element (ARE) attenuated hyperglycemia-induced damage in podocytes, but the molecular mechanism remains unknown ...
