Crystalline podocytopathy and tubulopathy without overt glomerular proteinuria in a patient with multiple myeloma

Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2016
Crystalline nephropathy is a rare yet well-known condition associated with multiple myeloma and other light chain–secreting disorders. Paraproteins that are resistant to proteolysis crystallize within proximal tubular cells and cause light-chain proximal

The crosstalk between glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes controls their responses to metabolic stimuli in diabetic nephropathy

Scientific Reports, 2023
In diabetic nephropathy (DN), glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) and podocytes undergo pathological alterations, which are influenced by metabolic changes characteristic of diabetes, including hyperglycaemia (HG) and elevated methylglyoxal (MGO) levels.

Deciphering the Impact of RAC1‐SPTAN1 in ARPKD Cystogenesis Using Multifaceted Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Distal/connecting tubules expressing SLC8A1 have been suggested as a potential origin of ARPKD cysts. SPTAN1 has been identified as a key molecule in ARPKD cyst formation. Restoring SPTAN1 in PKHD1−/− organoids reduced cyst formation, normalized calcium levels, and decreased RAC1/c‐FOS expression, highlighting SPTAN1's role in ARPKD and the potential ...

MicroRNA-770-5p contributes to podocyte injury via targeting E2F3 in diabetic nephropathy [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) has been identified as the major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in most developed countries. MicroRNA-770-5p depletion could repress high glucose (HG)-triggered apoptosis in podocytes, and downregulation of E2F ...

Insulin Increases Expression of TRPC6 Channels in Podocytes by a Calcineurin-Dependent Pathway

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016
Background/Aims: Insulin signaling to podocytes is relevant for the function of the glomerulus. Now, we tested the hypothesis that insulin increases the surface expression of canonical transient receptor potential canonical type 6 (TRPC6) channels in ...

5‐Methylcytosine Analysis of miRNAs in Minimal Change Disease

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimal change disease (MCD) is a glomerular disorder, which is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Additionally, the prevalence of MCD in adults has been increasing in recent years. During protein synthesis, noncoding RNAs can be regulated through a variety of modifications, which helps preserve biological diversity and ...
