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

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

Hydroxychloroquine Associated with Lower Glomerular Filtration Rate Decline in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) protects kidney function in lupus nephritis (LN) by preventing flares, yet some cohort studies show no significant benefit in kidney function with HCQ. Clarifying these conflicting findings by showing early and long‐term benefits of HCQ on kidney function preservation is critical. Therefore, we analyzed data from our

Molecular Mechanisms of Kidney Injury and Repair in Arterial Hypertension [PDF]

, 2019
The global burden of chronic kidney disease is rising. The etiologies, heterogeneous, and arterial hypertension, are key factors contributing to the development and progression of chronic kidney disease. Arterial hypertension is induced and maintained by

Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes in Conjunction with Roflumilast Ameliorate Chronic Kidney Disease Through the Modulation of Fibrosis and Inflammation

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The novelty of this study showed that the injection of exosomes produced from ADMSCs in combination with Roflumilast poses a more favorable therapeutic outcome for CKD induced by Adriamycin, compared to therapy with exosomes or Roflumilast alone. Roflumilast and exosomes treatment lowered the expression of the apoptotic, fibrotic, and inflammatory ...

Deletion of diacylglycerol-responsive TRPC genes attenuates diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting activation of the TGFβ1 signaling pathway [PDF]

, 2017
TRPC6 plays a critical role in proteinuric kidney diseases, and TRPC3 is involved in tubulointerstitialdamage and renal fibrosis in obstructed kidneys. Podocyte loss is a characteristic event in diabetic nephropathy(DN).

Positive and negative regulation of angiogenesis by soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 [PDF]

, 2018
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-1 exists in different forms, derived from alternative splicing of the same gene. In addition to the transmembrane form, endothelial cells produce a soluble VEGFR-1 (sVEGFR-1) isoform, whereas non ...

Microphysiological Systems for Comorbidity Studies: Chronic Kidney Disease and Osteoarthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights the potential of organ‐on‐a‐chip systems for studying comorbidities, using chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoarthritis (OA) as examples. It summarizes recent advances in kidney‐on‐a‐chip and joint‐on‐a‐chip models and discusses their current and potential application in investigating CKD, OA, and CKD‐OA comorbidity, aiming to

Empagliflozin reduces podocyte lipotoxicity in experimental Alport syndrome

eLife, 2023
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are anti-hyperglycemic agents that prevent glucose reabsorption in proximal tubular cells. SGLT2i improves renal outcomes in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients, indicating it may have beneficial ...
