1 21737546 In cultured podocytes overexpressing COX-2, high glucose induced cell injury and increased both expression of the pro(renin) receptor and activation of the renin-angiotensin system.
2 21737546 In vivo, podocyte pro(renin) receptor expression increased in diabetic COX-2-transgenic mice, and treatment with a COX-2 inhibitor abrogated the upregulation of (pro)renin receptor and reduced albuminuria, foot-process effacement, and mesangial matrix expansion.
3 21737546 In summary, these results demonstrate that increased expression of podocyte COX-2 predisposes to diabetic glomerular injury and that the (pro)renin receptor may be one mediator for this increased susceptibility to injury.
