In contrast to PARVA, PARVB inhibits ILK activity and reverses some of its oncogenic effects in cancer cells.

ILK deficiency caused an aberrant distribution of nephrin and alpha-actinin-4 in podocytes, whereas the localization of podocin and synaptopodin remained relatively intact.

|
Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated that ILK physically interacted with nephrin to form a ternary complex, and alpha-actinin-4 participated in ILK/nephrin complex formation.

In kidneys of Ae1(-/-) mice, nephrin abundance was normal but its distribution was altered along with the reported kAE1-binding protein integrin-linked kinase (ILK).

|
Glomeruli with ILK-deficient podocytes also demonstrated altered AE1 and nephrin expression, further supporting the functional interdependence of these proteins.

These data suggest that the podocyte protein kAE1 interacts with nephrin and ILK to maintain the structure and function of the glomerular basement membrane.

ILK expression was induced in mouse podocytes by various injurious stimuli known to cause proteinuria including TGF-beta1, adriamycin, puromycin, and high ambient glucose.

Ectopic expression of ILK in podocytes decreased levels of the epithelial markers nephrin and ZO-1, induced mesenchymal markers such as desmin, fibronectin, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA), promoted cell migration, and increased the paracellular albumin flux across podocyte monolayers.

ILK also induced Snail, a key transcription factor mediating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

|
Blockade of ILK activity with a highly selective small molecule inhibitor reduced Snail induction and preserved podocyte phenotypes following TGF-beta1 or adriamycin stimulation.

In vivo, this ILK inhibitor ameliorated albuminuria, repressed glomerular induction of MMP-9 and alpha-SMA, and preserved nephrin expression in murine adriamycin nephropathy.

Our results show that upregulation of ILK is a convergent pathway leading to podocyte EMT, migration, and dysfunction.

The PINCH-1-integrin-linked kinase (ILK)-alpha-parvin (PIP) complex plays important roles in the regulation of glomerular cell behavior, including podocyte shape change, apoptosis, and mesangial fibronectin matrix deposition.

Western blotting analysis revealed that the protein levels of FAK, p-FAK(397), paxillin, p-paxillin(118), and Hic-5 were high in embryonic kidneys, while ILK expression persisted from the embryonic to the mature stage.
