3D proximal tubule-on-chip model derived from kidney organoids with improved drug uptake
Scientific Reports, 2022 Three-dimensional, organ-on-chip models that recapitulate kidney tissue are needed for drug screening and disease modeling. Here, we report a method for creating a perfusable 3D proximal tubule model composed of epithelial cells isolated from kidney ...

Pacsin2 is required for endocytosis in the zebrafish pronephric tubule
Biology Open, 2022 Endocytosis mediates the cellular uptake of numerous molecules from the extracellular space and is a fundamentally important process. In the renal proximal tubule, the scavenger receptor megalin and its co-receptor cubilin mediate endocytosis of low ...

Regulation of phosphate transport in proximal tubules [PDF]
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2008 Homeostasis of inorganic phosphate (P(i)) is primarily an affair of the kidneys. Reabsorption of the bulk of filtered P(i) occurs along the renal proximal tubule and is initiated by apically localized Na(+)-dependent P(i) cotransporters. Tubular P(i) reabsorption and therefore renal excretion of P(i) is controlled by a number of hormones, including ...

The Fanconi syndrome of cystinosis: insights into the pathophysiology
The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 2002 Cystinosis is a lysosomal storage disease, and is one of the most common causes of the Fanconi syndrome. In vitro studies of the cystine-loaded tubule provided insights into the pathophysiology of the proximal tubular defect.

Ontogeny of proximal tubule acidification
Kidney International, 1995 The proximal tubule is responsible for the reabsorption of 80% of the filtered load of bicarbonate in adults. Proximal tubule bicarbonate reabsorption is affected by a number of hormones, acid-base balance, and the extracellular fluid volume status [1]. The adult proximal tubule thus plays a central role in acid-base homeostasis.

A modular and reusable model of epithelial transport in the proximal convoluted tubule.
PLoS ONE, 2022 We review a collection of published renal epithelial transport models, from which we build a consistent and reusable mathematical model able to reproduce many observations and predictions from the literature.

The role of renal proximal tubule transport in the regulation of blood pressure
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2017 The electrogenic sodium/bicarbonate cotransporter 1 (NBCe1) on the basolateral side of the renal proximal tubule plays a pivotal role in systemic acid-base homeostasis.

Adaptive changes in GFR, tubular morphology, and transport in subtotal nephrectomized kidneys: modeling and analysis [PDF]
, 2017 Removal of renal mass stimulates anatomical and functional adaptations in the surviving nephrons, including elevations in single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) and tubular hypertrophy. A goal of this study is to assess the extent to which the

Transcriptional profiling of the zebrafish proximal tubule [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2019 The hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (Hnf1b) transcription factor is a key regulator of kidney tubule formation and is associated with a syndrome of renal cysts and early onset diabetes. To further our understanding of Hnf1b in the developing zebrafish kidney, we performed RNA sequencing analysis of proximal tubules from hnf1b-deficient larvae.
