Ultrastructural study on nephrin expression in experimental puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis.
BACKGROUND Nephrin is a recently identified protein that is a key component of the slit diaphragm. This protein may play a crucial role in maintaining the glomerular filtration barrier, and mutations in the gene for nephrin reportedly lead to congenital nephrosis. However, the expression of nephrin in acquired glomerular disease has not yet been fully clarified. To address this issue, we analys...
متن کاملOsteopontin in chronic puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis.
Increased expression of osteopontin (OPN) associated with interstitial monocyte infiltration has been demonstrated in the early phase of a variety of experimental renal diseases. Whether these changes occur in the chronic phase of progressive glomerular disease is unknown. Chronic puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis (PAN) was induced in 16 rats by the injection of a single bolus of PA into the ...
متن کاملRenal purine efflux and xanthine oxidase activity during experimental nephrosis in rats: difference between puromycin aminonucleoside and adriamycin nephrosis.
1. The hypothesis was tested that the renal xanthine oxidase system provides a source of oxygen free radicals in puromycin aminonucleoside and adriamycin experimental nephrosis by generating uric acid from hypoxanthine and xanthine. 2. The concentrations in renal tissue of the putative intermediary products of puromycin aminonucleoside metabolism, hypoxanthine and xanthine, and of their precurs...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis of puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis.
Focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) is a major renal complication of mitochondrial (mt) cytopathies. The present study was designed to investigate the possibility of mtDNA lesion accumulation in podocytes, which are a primary pathogenic site of FSGS, during the development of glomerulopathy in puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis (PAN). Two renal pathological phases of PAN, nephrosis pha...
