1 27825100 Expression of the master regulators of oxidative metabolism transcription factor A mitochondrial, PGC-1α, AMPK, and serine-threonine liver kinase B1 was altered by high glucose, as well as their downstream signaling networks.
2 27825100 Focused transcriptomics revealed that myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) and myogenic factor 5 (MYF5) expression was inhibited by high glucose levels, and endoribonuclease-prepared small interfering RNA-mediated combined inhibition of those transcription factors phenocopied the glycolytic shift that was observed in high glucose conditions.
3 27825100 Accordingly, a reduced expression of MEF2C, MYF5, and PGC-1α was found in kidney tissue sections that were obtained from patients with diabetic nephropathy.
4 27825100 Expression of the master regulators of oxidative metabolism transcription factor A mitochondrial, PGC-1α, AMPK, and serine-threonine liver kinase B1 was altered by high glucose, as well as their downstream signaling networks.
5 27825100 Focused transcriptomics revealed that myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C) and myogenic factor 5 (MYF5) expression was inhibited by high glucose levels, and endoribonuclease-prepared small interfering RNA-mediated combined inhibition of those transcription factors phenocopied the glycolytic shift that was observed in high glucose conditions.
6 27825100 Accordingly, a reduced expression of MEF2C, MYF5, and PGC-1α was found in kidney tissue sections that were obtained from patients with diabetic nephropathy.
7 29497040 Podocyte-specific Rac1 deficiency ameliorates podocyte damage and proteinuria in STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy in mice.
8 29497040 In the present study, we demonstrated a podocyte-specific Rac1-deficient mouse strain and showed that specific inhibition of Rac1 was able to attenuate diabetic podocyte injury and proteinuria by the blockade of Rac1/PAK1/p38/β-catenin signaling cascade, which reinstated the integrity of podocyte slit diaphragms (SD), rectified the effacement of foot processes (FPs), and prevented the dedifferentiation of podocytes.
9 29497040 In vitro, we showed Rac1/PAK1 physically bound to β-catenin and had a direct phosphorylation modification on its C-terminal Ser675, leading to less ubiquitylated β-catenin, namely more stabilized β-catenin, and its nuclear migration under high-glucose conditions; further, p38 activation might be responsible for β-catenin nuclear accumulation via potentiating myocyte-specific enhancer factor 2C (MEF2c) phosphorylation.
