1 32739209 The effect of TGF-β, mediated by the type I TGF-β receptor, ALK5, and subsequent Smad2/3 activation results in podocyte apoptosis and loss.
2 32739209 This was associated with heightened ALK1-mediated activation of Smad1/5 in the glomerular endothelial cells (ECs).
3 32739209 Therefore, to evaluate the glomerular cell-specific effects of TGF-β in diabetic nephropathy we examined the effects of the podocyte- or EC-specific loss of Bambi (Pod-Bambi-/- or EC-Bambi-/-) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice with endothelial nitric oxide synthase deficiency.
4 32739209 While the podocyte or EC-specific loss of BAMBI both accelerated the progression of diabetic nephropathy, the worsened podocyte injury and loss observed in the diabetic Pod-Bambi-/- mice were associated with enhanced Smad3 activation.
5 32739209 The enhanced Smad1/5 activation in diabetic EC-Bambi-/- mice was associated with increased glomerular expression of plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein, pointing to the involvement of immature or dedifferentiated glomerular ECs in diabetic nephropathy.
6 32739209 The effect of TGF-β, mediated by the type I TGF-β receptor, ALK5, and subsequent Smad2/3 activation results in podocyte apoptosis and loss.
7 32739209 This was associated with heightened ALK1-mediated activation of Smad1/5 in the glomerular endothelial cells (ECs).
8 32739209 Therefore, to evaluate the glomerular cell-specific effects of TGF-β in diabetic nephropathy we examined the effects of the podocyte- or EC-specific loss of Bambi (Pod-Bambi-/- or EC-Bambi-/-) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice with endothelial nitric oxide synthase deficiency.
9 32739209 While the podocyte or EC-specific loss of BAMBI both accelerated the progression of diabetic nephropathy, the worsened podocyte injury and loss observed in the diabetic Pod-Bambi-/- mice were associated with enhanced Smad3 activation.
10 32739209 The enhanced Smad1/5 activation in diabetic EC-Bambi-/- mice was associated with increased glomerular expression of plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein, pointing to the involvement of immature or dedifferentiated glomerular ECs in diabetic nephropathy.
11 32828232 Furthermore, they showed that bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and activin membrane-bound inhibitor, an endogenous modulator of transforming growth factor-β signaling, plays a cell type-specific role and may be a good target for intervention against diabetic kidney disease.
