Renal potassium handling in rats with subtotal nephrectomy: modeling and analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We sought to decipher the mechanisms underlying the kidney's response to changes in K+ load and intake, under physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Proximal Tubule-Derived Amphiregulin Amplifies and Integrates Profibrotic EGF Receptor Signals in Kidney Fibrosis.

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2019
BACKGROUND Sustained activation of EGF receptor (EGFR) in proximal tubule cells is a hallmark of progressive kidney fibrosis after AKI and in CKD. However, the molecular mechanisms and particular EGFR ligands involved are unknown.

Peroxiredoxin1, a novel regulator of pronephros development, influences retinoic acid and Wnt signaling by controlling ROS levels

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Peroxiredoxin1 (Prdx1) is an antioxidant enzyme belonging to the peroxiredoxin family of proteins. Prdx1 catalyzes the reduction of H2O2 and alkyl hydroperoxide and plays an important role in different biological processes.

The Proximal Tubule in Cystinosis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2014
Although rare, nephropathic cystinosis is a devastating monogenic disorder leading to renal failure in the second decade of life. Fanconi syndrome, the initial renal manifestation of cystinosis in the young child, established the proximal tubule as a primary target of injury now recognized as ...

Proximal renal tubular acidosis with and without Fanconi syndrome

open access: yesKidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2019
Proximal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is caused by a defect in bicarbonate (HCO3−) reabsorption in the kidney proximal convoluted tubule. It usually manifests as normal anion-gap metabolic acidosis due to HCO3− wastage.

Functional implications of sexual dimorphism of transporter patterns along the rat proximal tubule: modeling and analysis.

open access: yesAJP - Renal Physiology, 2018
The goal of this study is to investigate the functional implications of the sexual dimorphism in transporter patterns along the proximal tubule. To do so, we have developed sex-specific computational models of solute and water transport in the proximal ...

Kidney regeneration: common themes from the embryo to the adult [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The vertebrate kidney has an inherent ability to regenerate following acute damage. Successful regeneration of the injured kidney requires the rapid replacement of damaged tubular epithelial cells and reconstitution of normal tubular function ...

Design Engineering of a Bioartificial Renal Tubule Cell Therapy Device

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 1999
The use of a bioartificial renal tubule device composed of renal proximal tubule cells grown within a hollow fiber cartridge is a first step in engineering a bioartificial kidney to provide more complete replacement therapy of renal function than is ...

Notch activates Wnt-4 signalling to control medio-lateral patterning of the pronephros [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Previous studies have highlighted a role for the Notch signalling pathway during pronephrogenesis in the amphibian Xenopus laevis, and in nephron development in the mammalian metanephros, yet a mechanism for this function remains elusive.

Potential and Limits of Kidney Cells for Evaluation of Renal Excretion

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2021
A large number of therapeutic drugs, herbal components and their metabolites are excreted by the kidneys. Therefore, generally applied models for estimating renal excretion, including freshly isolated rat proximal tubule cells, cultured tubule cells and ...
