Podocyte-specific expression of tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase in mice.
BACKGROUND Podocytes play an important role in maintaining normal glomerular function. A podocyte-specific conditional knockout technology has been established by the use of transgenic mice expressing a podocyte-specific Cre recombinase to clarify the role of genes expressed in the podocytes. However, it may be difficult to examine the role of genes in certain pathologic conditions using conven...
متن کاملMetabolism, Energetics, and Lipid Biology in the Podocyte – Cellular Cholesterol-Mediated Glomerular Injury
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high risk of death. Dyslipidemia is commonly observed in patients with CKD and is accompanied by a decrease in plasma high-density lipoprotein, and an increase in plasma triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and oxidized lipids. The observation that statins may decrease albuminuria but do not stop the progression of CKD indicates that pathways other th...
متن کاملHuman podocyte depletion in association with older age and hypertension.
Podocyte depletion plays a major role in the development and progression of glomerulosclerosis. Many kidney diseases are more common in older age and often coexist with hypertension. We hypothesized that podocyte depletion develops in association with older age and is exacerbated by hypertension. Kidneys from 19 adult Caucasian American males without overt renal disease were collected at autops...
متن کاملPodocyte repopulation by renal progenitor cells following glucocorticoids treatment in experimental FSGS.
Prednisone is a mainstay of treatment for patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a disease characterized by reduced podocyte number and glomerulosclerosis. Although the systemic immune-modulatory effects of prednisone are well-known, direct tissue effects on glomerular cells are poorly understood. Experimental FSGS was induced in mice with a cytotoxic anti-podocyte antibody, r...
متن کاملApelin involved in progression of diabetic nephropathy by inhibiting autophagy in podocytes
Podocyte autophagy dysfunction has been reported to be responsible for the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), however, the factors contributed to autophagy dysfunction in type 2 diabetes are not fully understood. Among promoting factors in DN, an adipokine, apelin, had been showed to trigger podocyte dysfunction. Therefore, it is hypothesized that apelin, which is increased in plasma in ...
متن کاملEvaluation of a thick and thin section method for estimation of podocyte number, glomerular volume, and glomerular volume per podocyte in rat kidney with Wilms' tumor-1 protein used as a podocyte nuclear marker.
Podocyte loss and glomerular hypertrophy are associated with development of glomerulosclerosis, suggesting that there may be a maximal area for each podocyte in terms of its capacity to support and maintain the glomerular filter. This study hypothesized that exceeding this maximal threshold will result in mesangial expansion and glomerulosclerosis. It may therefore be useful to measure podocyte...
