42 11793093 Mutations in podocyte proteins, such as nephrin, alpha-actinin 4, and podocin, are associated with proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome.
43 11793093 We postulated that in Galloway-Mowat syndrome the mutation would be in a protein that is expressed both in podocytes and neurons, such as synaptopodin, GLEPP1, or nephrin.
44 11793093 We therefore analyzed kidney tissue from normal children (n=3), children with congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type (CNF, n=3), minimal change disease (MCD, n=3), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS, n=3), and Galloway-Mowat syndrome (n=4) by immunohistochemistry for expression of synaptopodin, GLEPP1, intracellular domain of nephrin (nephrin-I), and extracellular domain of nephrin (nephrin-E).
45 11793093 Synaptopodin, GLEPP1, and nephrin were strongly expressed in normal kidney tissue.
46 11793093 Nephrin was absent, and synaptopodin and GLEPP1 expression were decreased in CNF.
47 11793093 The expression of all three proteins was reduced in MCD and FSGS; the decrease in expression being more marked in FSGS.
48 11793093 Synaptopodin, GLEPP1, and nephrin expression was present, although reduced in Galloway-Mowat syndrome.
49 11793093 We conclude that the reduced expression of synaptopodin, GLEPP1, and nephrin in Galloway- Mowat syndrome is a secondary phenomenon related to the proteinuria, and hence synaptopodin, GLEPP1, and nephrin are probably not the proteins mutated in Galloway-Mowat syndrome.

212 14523896 At least three genes have been identified which, when defective, cause familial FSGS or nephrosis: the NPHS1 gene, encoding nephrin; the NPHS2 gene, encoding podocin; and the ACTN4 gene, encoding a-actinin-4.
213 14523896 Because the majority of FSGS cases occur as sporadic disease, the recently described mutations in the NPHS2 gene "in approximately 25 percent of cases of apparently sporadic, steroid-resistant FSGS in children" have claimed great interest.

218 14569107 For identifying potential diagnostic markers of proteinuric glomerulopathies, glomerular mRNA levels of molecules relevant for podocyte function (alpha-actinin-4, glomerular epithelial protein 1, Wilms tumor antigen 1, synaptopodin, dystroglycan, nephrin, podoplanin, and podocin) were determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR from microdissected glomeruli.
219 14569107 However, a significant positive correlation between alpha-actinin-4, glomerular epithelial protein 1, synaptopodin, dystroglycan, Wilms tumor antigen 1, and nephrin was found in all analyzed glomeruli, whereas podocin mRNA expression did not correlate.
220 14569107 Expression ratio of podocin to synaptopodin, the two genes with the most disparate expression, allowed a robust separation of FSGS from MCD and nephrosclerosis.
221 14569107 Segregation of FSGS from MCD via this ratio was confirmed in an independent population of formaldehyde-fixed archival biopsies (MCD, n = 5; FSGS, n = 4) after glomerular laser capture microdissection.

233 14570703 Molecular basis of the functional podocin-nephrin complex: mutations in the NPHS2 gene disrupt nephrin targeting to lipid raft microdomains.
234 14570703 Mutations of NPHS1 or NPHS2, the genes encoding for nephrin and podocin, lead to early onset of heavy proteinuria, and rapid progression to end-stage renal disease, suggesting that both proteins are essential for the integrity of the glomerular filter.
235 14570703 Podocin is a stomatin protein family member with a predicted hairpin-like structure localizing to the insertion site of the slit diaphragm of podocytes, the visceral glomerular epithelial cells of the kidney.
236 14570703 The association of podocin with specialized lipid raft microdomains of the plasma membrane was a prerequisite for recruitment of nephrin into rafts.
237 14570703 In contrast, disease-causing mutations of podocin (R138Q and R138X) failed to recruit nephrin into rafts either because these mutants were retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (R138Q), or because they failed to associate with rafts (R138X) despite their presence in the plasma membrane.
238 14570703 Our findings demonstrate that the failure of mutant podocin to recruit nephrin into lipid rafts may be essential for the pathogenesis of NPHS2.

241 14570703 Podocin is a stomatin protein family member with a predicted hairpin-like structure localizing to the insertion site of the slit diaphragm of podocytes, the visceral glomerular epithelial cells of the kidney.

394 15388893 The fluorescence intensity of podocin and nephrin decreased obviously, along with the evident distribution change from the cell membrane surface to the nucleus circumference in podocyte.
395 15388893 In relation to GAPDH, the mRNA reductions of podocin and nephrin were observed by about 65% and 70%, respectively.
396 15388893 In relation to beta-actin, the protein level of nephrin decreased by about 78%.
397 15388893 Thus, the significant decreased expression of nephrin along with the redistribution were detected with the knockdown of podocin mRNA, whereas the expression and distribution of alpha-actinin-4 showed no change.
398 15388893 These results suggest that podocin may interact directly with nephrin, but not with alpha-actinin.
399 15465010 In contrast, podocin and CD2AP, two proteins shown to interact with nephrin in the slit diaphragm, are acutely downregulated at days 3-7 and, thereafter, recovered again to normal levels after 29 days.
400 15465010 In summary, our data show that in the course of mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis in rats, an upregulation of nephrin expression occurs with a concomitant transient downregulation of podocin and CD2AP which may account for a highly dysregulated filtration barrier and increased proteinuria.

660 16837631 ILK deficiency caused an aberrant distribution of nephrin and alpha-actinin-4 in podocytes, whereas the localization of podocin and synaptopodin remained relatively intact.
661 16837631 Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated that ILK physically interacted with nephrin to form a ternary complex, and alpha-actinin-4 participated in ILK/nephrin complex formation.
662 16837631 Therefore, ILK plays an essential role in specifying nephrin and alpha-actinin-4 distribution and in maintaining the slit diaphragm integrity and podocyte architecture.

686 17200434 Podocyte injury was accompanied by renal reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase activation, increased oxidative stress, and enhanced expression of aldosterone effector kinase Sgk1.
687 17200434 In addition, proteinuria, podocyte damage, and Sgk1 upregulation were significantly alleviated by tempol, a membrane-permeable superoxide dismutase, suggesting the pathogenic role of oxidative stress.
688 17200434 In cultured podocytes with consistent expression of mineralocorticoid receptor, aldosterone stimulated membrane translocation of reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase cytosolic components and oxidative stress generation in podocytes.
689 17200434 Furthermore, aldosterone enhanced the expression of Sgk1, which was inhibited by mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist and tempol.

728 17316599 The podocyte-specific inactivation of Lmx1b, Ldb1 and E2a yields new insight into a transcriptional network in podocytes.
729 17316599 Promising candidates for modifier proteins are the proteins interacting with LMX1B, such as LDB1 and E47.
730 17316599 In contrast to findings in these mice, however, in which a downregulation of the Col4a3, Col4a4 and Nphs2 genes has been described, no such changes have been detected in kidney biopsies from patients.
731 17316599 We now report on our results on the characterization of constitutive podocyte-specific Lmx1b, Ldb1 and E2a knock-out mice.
732 17316599 Constitutive podocyte-specific Lmx1b knock-out mice survive for approximately 2 weeks after birth and do not present with a downregulation of the Col4a3, Col4a4 and Nphs2 genes, therefore they mimic the human disease more closely.
733 17316599 The podocyte-specific Ldb1 knock-out mice survive longer, but then also succumb to renal failure, whereas the E2a knock-out mice show no renal symptoms for at least 6 months after birth.
734 17316599 We conclude that LDB1, but not E2A is a promising candidate as a modifier gene in patients with nail-patella syndrome.

742 17348483 Investigation of the different proteins revealed that the lack of nephrin and podocin is the leading cause of several inherited forms of proteinuria.
743 17429054 Serum IL-13, albumin, cholesterol, and creatinine and urine albumin were measured serially.
744 17429054 Glomerular gene expression of nephrin, podocin, dystroglycan, B7-1, and IL-13 receptor subunits were examined using real-time PCR with hybridization probes and expressed as an index against beta-actin.
745 17429054 Glomerular gene expression was significantly upregulated for B7-1, IL-4Ralpha, and IL-13Ralpha2 but downregulated for nephrin, podocin, and dystroglycan.
746 17429054 Immunofluorescence staining intensity was reduced for nephrin, podocin, and dystroglycan but increased for B7-1 and IL-4Ralpha in IL-13-transfected rats compared with controls.
747 17429054 In conclusion, these results suggest that IL-13 overexpression in the rat could lead to podocyte injury with downregulation of nephrin, podocin, and dystroglycan and a concurrent upregulation of B7-1 in the glomeruli, inducing a minimal change-like nephropathy that is characterized by increased proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia, and fusion of podocyte foot processes.

763 17457373 Upregulation of B7.1 with the downregulation of GLEPP1, Wilms' tumor gene (WT1), megalin, and vascular endothelial growth factor started early and persisted through the course of disease.
764 17457373 In the puromycin and the combined models, changes in GLEPP1 expression were corticosteroid-sensitive, whereas B7.1, WT1, vascular endothelial growth factor, and most slit diaphragm genes involved later in the combined model, except podocin, were corticosteroid-resistant.
765 17457373 There was a very early increase in the nuclear expression of podocyte transcription factors ZHX2 and ZHX1 that may be linked to the changes in gene expression in the combined proteinuric model.
766 17459670 TRPC6 and FSGS: the latest TRP channelopathy.
767 17459670 Resultant to these pursuits, several podocyte structural proteins such as nephrin, podocin, alpha-actinin 4 (ACTN4), and CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) have emerged to provide critical insight into the pathogenesis of hereditary nephrotic syndromes.
768 17459670 The latest advance in familial FSGS has been the discovery of a mutant form of canonical transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6), which causes an increase in calcium transients and essentially a gain of function in this cation channel located on the podocyte cell membrane.
769 17459670 TRPC6 channels have been shown to be activated via phospholipase C stimulation.
770 17459670 Mutant TRPC6 may also amplify injurious signals mediated by Ang II, a common final pathway of podocyte apoptosis in various mammalian species.
771 17459670 Current evidence also suggests that blocking TRPC6 channels may be of therapeutic benefit in idiopathic FSGS, a disease with a generally poor prognosis.
772 17459670 This creates the exciting possibility that blocking TRPC6 channels within the podocyte may translate into long-lasting clinical benefits in patients with FSGS.
773 17530296 Renin-angiotensin axis blockade reduces proteinuria in presymptomatic patients with familial FSGS.
774 17530296 Familial and genetic forms of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) are associated with six different mutations in genes affecting the podocyte (NPHS2, ACTN4, CD2AP, WT1, TRPC6, and PLCE1).
775 17530296 We describe three children from two different families with familial FSGS in whom partial to complete remission of proteinuria was attained through early blockade of the renin-angiotensin axis.
776 17530296 We speculate that presymptomatic patients with normal renal function who have genetic or familial FSGS may benefit from early blockade of the renin-angiotensin axis and that this may also prevent progressive renal disease.
777 17570936 In the context of the slit diaphragm signaling network, TRPC6 is clustered and regulated by a podocin-lipid complex that might translate mechanical tension to ion channel action.
778 17675666 Under nephrotic conditions,however, foot process effacement leads to the loss of slit diaphragms and the new formationof tight junctions composed of the proteins coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) and zonula occludens 1 (ZO-1).
779 17675666 In this study, we confirmed that podocin colocalizes with CAR and ZO-1 at the tight junction between foot processes in nephrotic rats.
780 17675666 Using primary cultures of rat podocytes, as well as cell lines that co-expressed podocin and CAR, we observed that podocin was recruited to sites of cell-cell contact and that it co-localized with CAR and ZO-1.
781 17675666 Consistent with this, we found that podociin facilitated the coalescence of preassembled lipid rafts containing CAR and restricted their lateral mobility, the latter likely a result of dynamic actin reorganization and subsequent tethering of CAR-podocin complexes to the cytoskeleton.

790 17694336 The expression of podocyte molecules (WT1, nephrin, podocin, alpha-actinin 4 and CD2AP) were also investigated in a renal specimen of this FS patient.
791 17699558 In addition, after knockdown of CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) and podocin, two well-characterized genetic contributors to podocyte differentiation in mammals, we observed glomerular loss of serum macromolecules similar to that seen in mammalian kidneys with inborn mutations in these genes.
792 17804487 High glucose (HG; 25 mM) induces rounding of differentiated podocytes and changes in the distribution of F-actin but without quantitative changes in E-cadherin and the podocyte markers podocin, CD2AP, Neph1, or synaptopodin.
793 17804487 In these cells, BMP7 effectively activates smad5 (but not smad1) and raises p38 phosphorylation [which is also increased by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)].
794 17804487 HG as well as TGF-beta raise caspase-3 activity, increase apoptosis, and reduce cell survival which is, in part, blocked by BMP7.
795 17804487 Knockdown and forced expression studies indicate that smad5 is required as well as sufficient for these actions of BMP7.
796 17804487 These findings indicate that BMP7 is a differentiation and survival factor for podocytes, requires smad5, and can reduce diabetic podocyte injury.
797 18033240 We studied the role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), activated via the phosphorylation of nephrin, in actin cytoskeletal reorganization of cultured rat podocytes.
798 18033240 Phosphorylation of rat nephrin by the Fyn kinase markedly increased its interaction with a regulatory subunit of PI3K.
799 18033240 Stable transfection of rat nephrin in the podocytes with podocin led to nephrin tyrosine phosphorylation, PI3K-dependent phosphorylation of Akt, increased Rac1 activity, and an altered actin cytoskeleton with decreased stress fibers and increased lamellipodia.
800 18033240 These changes were reversed with an inhibitor of PI3K and not seen when the nephrin-mutant Y1152F replaced wild-type nephrin.
801 18033240 Rac1 and Akt1 contributed to lamellipodia formation and decreased stress fibers, respectively.
802 18033240 Finally, in the rat model of puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis, nephrin tyrosine phosphorylation, nephrin-PI3K association, and glomerular Akt phosphorylation were all decreased.
803 18033240 Our results suggest that PI3K is involved in nephrin-mediated actin reorganization in podocytes.
804 18075495 Here, we show that exogenous semaphorin3a caused acute nephrotic range proteinuria associated with podocyte foot process effacement and fusion, endothelial cell damage, decreased vascular endothelial growth factor-A receptor expression, and downregulation of the slit-diaphragm proteins podocin, nephrin, and CD2-associated protein.
805 18075495 When vascular endothelial growth factor 165 was administered at the same time as Semaphorin3a, no proteinuria or renal ultrastructural abnormalities occurred, suggesting that semaphorin3a effects may be mediated, in part, by downregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 signaling.
806 18082680 Mice with podocyte specific deletion of integrin beta1 (podocin-Cre beta1-fl/fl mice) are born normal but cannot complete postnatal renal development.
807 18082680 The integrin linked kinase (ILK) is a downstream mediator of integrin beta1 activity in epithelial cells.
808 18082680 To further explore whether integrin beta1-mediated signaling facilitates proper glomerular filtration, we generated mice deficient of ILK in the podocytes (podocin-Cre ILK-fl/fl mice).

812 18253764 These characteristic symptoms are caused by mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor LMX1B, a member of the LIM-homeodomain gene family.
813 18253764 In contrast, however, podocin and the alpha3 and alpha4 chains of collagen IV are absent in the glomeruli of Lmx1b knockout mice.
814 18287402 Preeclamptic sera induce nephrin shedding from podocytes through endothelin-1 release by endothelial glomerular cells.
815 18287402 In contrast, conditioned medium obtained from glomerular endothelial cells incubated with PE sera induced loss of nephrin and synaptopodin, but not of podocin, from podocytes.
816 18287402 Studies with an endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor antagonist that abrogated the loss of nephrin triggered by glomerular endothelial conditioned medium of PE sera indicated that ET-1 was the main effector of nephrin loss.
817 18287402 Indeed, ET-1 was synthesized and released from glomerular endothelial cells when incubated with PE sera, and recombinant ET-1 triggered nephrin shedding from podocytes.
818 18287402 Moreover, VEGF blockade induced ET-1 release from endothelial cells, and in turn the conditioned medium obtained triggered nephrin loss.
819 18288100 Gene expression profiling revealed marked differences between these and the podocin-null mice, including significant perturbations of podocyte-expressed genes such as Cd2ap, Vegfa and the transcription factors Lmx1b and Zhx2.
820 18288100 Upregulation of Serpine1 and Tgfb1 implicates these as potential mediators of disease progression in these mice.
821 18337488 Features of mature podocytes were lost: Foot processes were effaced; expression of Wt1, Nphs1, and Nphs2 was downregulated; cell-cycle re-entry was induced; and the expression of Pax2 was increased.
822 18364721 Candidate genes so far identified in renal disease include those encoding the podocyte proteins nephrin and podocin, the transcription factor WT1, the calcium channel TRPC6 and the enzyme phospholipase C-epsilon-1 (in congenital nephrotic syndrome and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis), and carnosinase (in diabetic nephropathy).
823 18437205 Primary coenzyme Q deficiency in Pdss2 mutant mice causes isolated renal disease.
824 18437205 Its multi-step biosynthesis involves production of polyisoprenoid diphosphate in a reaction that requires the enzymes be encoded by PDSS1 and PDSS2.
825 18437205 Disease manifestations originate specifically in glomerular podocytes, as renal disease is seen in Podocin/cre,Pdss2(loxP/loxP) knockout mice but not in conditional knockouts targeted to renal tubular epithelium, monocytes, or hepatocytes.
826 18437205 Liver-conditional B6.Alb/cre,Pdss2(loxP/loxP) knockout mice have no overt disease despite demonstration that their livers have undetectable CoQ9 levels, impaired respiratory capacity, and significantly altered intermediary metabolism as evidenced by transcriptional profiling and amino acid quantitation.
827 18462046 The most common mutations are in 4 genes, 3 of which are podocyte genes: NPHS1 (Finnish nephropathy), NPHS2 (podocin-induced focal segmental glomerulosclerosis), WT1 (diffuse mesangial sclerosis), and LAMB2 (Pierson syndrome).
828 18509322 The antiproteinuric effect was associated with improvement in the foot process effacement, a decrease in the podocyte injury marker desmin as well as the restoration of nephrin and podocin expression and distribution.
829 18509322 In cultured mouse podocytes triptolide pretreatment prevented the puromycin-induced disruption of the actin cytoskeleton and microfilament-associated synaptopodin while protecting nephrin and podocin expression.

832 18535845 Although LMX1B is a developmental LIM-homeodomain transcription factor, it is expressed in post-natal life in the glomerular podocyte, suggesting a regulatory role in that cell.
833 18535845 NPHS2, CD2AP), the transription of which is regulated by LMX1B.
834 18715943 The staining of the SD molecules nephrin, podocin, and NEPH1 had already shifted to a discontinuous dotlike pattern at the initiation phase of the disease, when neither proteinuria nor any morphological alterations were detected yet.
835 18715943 On day 28, when severe proteinuria was detected and sclerotic changes were already observed, alteration of the expressions of nephrin, podocin, and NEPH1 worsened, but no alteration in the expression of other SD-associated molecules or other podocyte molecules was detected.

838 18809387 Activated macrophages down-regulate podocyte nephrin and podocin expression via stress-activated protein kinases.
839 18809387 The development of proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis in kidney disease is associated with podocyte damage, including down-regulation of nephrin and podocin.
840 18809387 Conditioned media (CM) from activated macrophages caused a 50-60% reduction in nephrin and podocin mRNA and protein expression in cultured mouse podocytes and rat glomeruli.

868 18832437 Expression of the slit diaphragm proteins nephrin and podocin was decreased, and expression of the transcription factor WT1 was relatively unaffected.
869 18971929 We find that fly (Drosophila melanogaster) orthologues of the major constituents of the slit diaphragm, including nephrin, NEPH1 (also known as KIRREL), CD2AP, ZO-1 (TJP1) and podocin, are expressed in the nephrocyte and form a complex of interacting proteins that closely mirrors the vertebrate slit diaphragm complex.
870 18971929 Furthermore, we find that the nephrocyte diaphragm is completely lost in flies lacking the orthologues of nephrin or NEPH1-a phenotype resembling loss of the slit diaphragm in the absence of either nephrin (as in human congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type, NPHS1) or NEPH1.
871 19142224 The nephrin-podocin complex is the main constituent of slit diaphragms.
872 19142224 Here, we demonstrate that the PAR3-atypical protein kinase C (aPKC)-PAR6beta cell polarity proteins co-localize to the slit diaphragms with nephrin.
873 19142224 The aPKC-PAR3 complex associates with the nephrin-podocin complex in podocytes through direct interaction between PAR3 and nephrin, and the kinase activity of aPKC is required for the appropriate distribution of nephrin and podocin in podocytes.

877 19261739 Recent evidence suggests that mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonism has beneficial effects on tissue oxidative stress and insulin metabolic signaling as well as reducing proteinuria.
878 19261739 However, the mechanisms by which MR antagonism corrects both renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) impairments in renal insulin metabolic signaling and filtration barrier/podocyte injury remain unknown.
879 19261739 Albuminuria, podocyte-specific proteins (synaptopodin, nephrin, and podocin), and ultrastructural analysis of the glomerular filtration barrier were measured in relation to RAAS activation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the redox-sensitive Rho kinase (ROK).
880 19261739 Insulin metabolic signaling was determined via measurement of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) phosphorylation, IRS-1 ubiquitin/proteasomal degradation, and phosphorylation of Akt.
881 19261739 Ren2 rats exhibited albuminuria, loss of podocyte-specific proteins, and podocyte foot process effacement contemporaneous with reduced renal IRS-1 and protein kinase B/Akt phosphorylation compared with SD control rats (each P < 0.05).
882 19261739 Ren2 kidneys also manifested increased NADPH oxidase/ROS/ROK in conjunction with enhanced renal tissue levels of angiotensin II (ANG II), ANG-(1-12), and angiotensin type 1 receptor.
883 19261739 Low-dose spironolactone treatment reduced albuminuria and tissue RAAS activity and improved podocyte structural and protein integrity with improvements in IRS-1/Akt phosphorylation.
884 19266252 Some recent studies demonstrated that podocin, CD2-associated protein and NEPH1 are also functional molecules in the slit diaphragm, and their expressions are altered in membranous nephropathy and also in focal glomerulosclerosis.
885 19342370 Moreover, the preserved podocyte number in SPARC(-/-) mice correlates with reduced urinary levels of both nephrin and podocin.
886 19478094 Slit diaphragms, considered specialized adherens junctions, contain both unique membrane proteins (e.g., nephrin, podocin, and Neph1) and typical adherens junction proteins (e.g., P-cadherin, FAT, and catenins).
887 19478094 Here, immunofluorescence, immunogold labeling, and cell fractionation demonstrated that rat slit diaphragms contain the tight junction proteins JAM-A (junctional adhesion molecule A), occludin, and cingulin.
888 19478094 We found these proteins in the same protein complexes as nephrin, podocin, CD2AP, ZO-1, and Neph1 by cosedimentation, coimmunoprecipitation, and pull-down assays.
889 19478094 PAN nephrosis increased the protein levels of JAM-A, occludin, cingulin, and ZO-1 several-fold in glomeruli and loosened their attachment to the actin cytoskeleton.

903 19562370 Here, we describe already well-characterized genetic diseases due to mutations in nephrin, podocin, CD2AP, alpha-actinin-4, WT1, and laminin beta2 chain, as well as more recently identified genetic abnormalities in TRPC6, phospholipase C epsilon, and the proteins encoded by the mitochondrial genome.
904 19579288 We found that human glomeruli deprived of the Bowman's capsule contain a population of CD133+CD146+ cells and a population of CD133-CD146+ cells expressing mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) markers and renal stem cell markers CD24 and Pax-2.
905 19579288 The CD133+CD146+ cells differed from those previously isolated from Bowman's capsule as they co-expressed endothelial markers, such as CD31 and von Willebrand factor (vWF), were CD24-negative and were not clonogenic, suggesting an endothelial commitment.
906 19579288 In addition to osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation, these cells were able to differentiate to endothelial cells and epithelial cells expressing podocytes markers such as nephrin, podocin, and synaptopodin.
907 19579288 Moreover, Gl-MSC when cultured in appropriate conditions, acquired mesangial cell markers such as alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and angiotensin II (AT-II) receptor I.
908 19816391 Molecules like nephrin and podocin are directly involved in the formation of the slit diaphragm located at the end of the foot processes.
909 19838659 Here, we have addressed the role of alpha- and beta-adducin on glomerular function and disease using beta-adducin null mice, congenic substrains for alpha- and beta-adducin from the Milan hypertensive (MHS) and Milan normotensive (MNS) rats and patients with IgA nephropathy.
910 19838659 Targeted deletion of beta-adducin in mice reduced urinary protein excretion, preceded by an increase of podocyte protein expression (phospho-nephrin, synaptopodin, alpha-actinin, ZO-1, Fyn).
911 19838659 The introgression of polymorphic MHS beta-adducin locus into MNS (Add2, 529R) rats was associated with an early reduction of podocyte protein expression (nephrin, synaptopodin, alpha-actinin, ZO-1, podocin, Fyn), followed by severe glomerular and interstitial lesions and increased urinary protein excretion.
912 19838659 In patients with IgA nephropathy, the rate of decline of renal function over time was associated to polymorphic beta-adducin (ADD2, 1797T, rs4984) with a significant interaction with alpha-adducin (ADD1, 460W, rs4961).
913 19850954 Nephrin constituted a stable, signaling-competent microdomain through interaction with Fyn, a Src kinase, and podocin, a scaffold protein.
914 19956976 Analysis of recessive CD2AP and ACTN4 mutations in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome.
915 19956976 Based on the phenotype of Actn4 and Cd2ap null mice, we aimed to define the role of recessive CD2AP and ACTN4 mutations in a cohort of children with SRNS for which NPHS1, NPHS2, and PLCE1 mutations had been previously excluded.
916 19956976 CD2AP and ACTN4 mutational analysis was performed in 42 children from 35 unrelated families.
917 19956976 Recessive CD2AP and ACTN4 mutations are rare in children with SRNS.
918 20031026 This study demonstrates that the expression of the mesenchymal markers CD29 and CD44, the epithelial markers CD51 and ZO-1 and the podocyte markers CD2AP and NPHS2 can be induced in these cells via incubation with epidermal growth factor/platelet-derived growth factor BB and fibroblast growth factor 4/hepatocyte growth factor, respectively.
919 20036696 In the present study, we first demonstrated that an intact NADPH oxidase system is present in podocytes as shown by detection of its membrane subunit (gp91(phox)) and cytosolic subunit (p47(phox)).
920 20036696 Then, confocal microscopy showed that gp91(phox) and p47(phox) could be aggregated in lipid raft (LR) clusters in podocytes treated with homocysteine (Hcys), which were illustrated by their colocalization with cholera toxin B, a common LR marker.
921 20036696 By flotation of detergent-resistant membrane fractions we found that gp91(phox) and p47(phox) were enriched in LR fractions upon Hcys stimulation, and such enrichment of NADPH oxidase subunits and increase in its enzyme activity were blocked by MCD or filipin.
922 20036696 Functionally, disruption of LR clustering significantly attenuated Hcys-induced podocyte injury, as shown by their inhibitory effects on Hcys-decreased expression of slit diaphragm molecules such as nephrin and podocin.
923 20375116 Therefore, we generated two podocyte-specific GLUT1 transgenic mouse lines (driven by a podocin promoter) on a db/m C57BLKS background.
924 20375116 Levels of nephrin, neph1, CD2AP, podocin, and GLUT4 were not significantly different in transgenic compared with wild-type mice.
925 20375116 Taken together, increased podocyte GLUT1 expression in diabetic mice does not contribute to early diabetic nephropathy; surprisingly, it protects against mesangial expansion and fibronectin accumulation possibly by blunting podocyte VEGF increases.

969 20522651 Deletion of von Hippel-Lindau in glomerular podocytes results in glomerular basement membrane thickening, ectopic subepithelial deposition of collagen {alpha}1{alpha}2{alpha}1(IV), expression of neuroglobin, and proteinuria.
970 20522651 A component of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) facilitates oxygen-dependent polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of HIFalpha subunits.
971 20522651 Hypothesizing that deletion of podocyte VHL would result in HIFalpha hyperstabilization, we crossed podocin promoter-Cre transgenic mice, which express Cre recombinase in podocytes beginning at the capillary loop stage of glomerular development, with floxed VHL mice.

977 21030600 Compared with vehicle-treated controls, paricalcitol preserved expression of nephrin, podocin, and WT1; prevented proteinuria; and reduced glomerulosclerotic lesions induced by ADR.
978 21030600 Selective suppression of renal Wnt4, Wnt7a, Wnt7b, and Wnt10a expression after ADR accompanied these renoprotective effects of paricalcitol.
979 21030600 In vitro, paricalcitol induced a physical interaction between the vitamin D receptor and β-catenin in podocytes, which led to suppression of β-catenin-mediated gene transcription.

981 21151138 Podocyte-specific transgenic overexpression of Angptl4 (NPHS2-Angptl4) in rats induced nephrotic-range, and selective, proteinuria (over 500-fold increase in albuminuria), loss of glomerular basement membrane (GBM) charge and foot process effacement, whereas transgenic expression specifically in the adipose tissue (aP2-Angptl4) resulted in increased circulating Angptl4, but no proteinuria.
982 21289599 Urinary albumin excretion increased in vehicle-treated diabetic rats (single injection of streptozotocin), compared with controls, and was associated with tubule injury and increased urinary tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) at 9 weeks.

995 21380797 Plasma from a case of recurrent idiopathic FSGS perturbs non-muscle myosin IIA (MYH9 protein) in human podocytes.
996 21380797 The MYH9 gene encodes a non-muscle myosin IIA heavy chain (NMMHC-IIA) expressed in podocytes.

1139 23024785 Cbs(+/-/)Asm(+/+), Cbs(+/-/)Asm(+/-) and Cbs(+/-/)Asm(-/-) as well as their Cbs wild type littermates were used to study the role of Asm(-/-) under a background of Cbs(+/-) with hHcys.
1140 23024785 HPLC analysis revealed that plasma Hcys level was significantly elevated in Cbs heterozygous (Cbs(+/-)) mice with different copies of Asm gene compared to Cbs(+/+) mice with different Asm gene copies.
1141 23024785 Cbs(+/-/)Asm(+/+) mice had significantly increased renal Asm activity, ceramide production and O(2.)(-) level compared to Cbs(+/+)/Asm(+/+), while Cbs(+/-/)Asm(-/-) mice showed significantly reduced renal Asm activity, ceramide production and O(2.)(-) level due to increased plasma Hcys levels.
1142 23024785 Confocal microscopy demonstrated that colocalization of podocin with ceramide was much lower in Cbs(+/-/)Asm(-/-) mice compared to Cbs(+/-/)Asm(+/+) mice, which was accompanied by a reduced glomerular damage index, albuminuria and proteinuria in Cbs(+/-/)Asm(-/-) mice.
1143 23024785 Immunofluorescent analyses of the podocin, nephrin and desmin expression also illustrated less podocyte damages in the glomeruli from Cbs(+/-/)Asm(-/-) mice compared to Cbs(+/-/)Asm(+/+) mice.
1144 23024785 In in vitro studies of podocytes, hHcys-enhanced O(2.)(-) production, desmin expression, and ceramide production as well as decreases in VEGF level and podocin expression in podocytes were substantially attenuated by prior treatment with amitriptyline, an Asm inhibitor.

1161 23029287 Immunofluorescence staining indicated that the expression of nephrin and podocin were both decreased after exposure of GDF.
1162 23029522 Following 10 days of directed differentiation, iPS podocytes had an up-regulated expression of mRNA and protein localization for podocyte markers including synaptopodin, nephrin and Wilm's tumour protein (WT1), combined with a down-regulation of the stem cell marker OCT3/4.
1163 23029522 The transduction of iPS podocytes with fluorescent labeled-talin that were immunostained with podocin showed a cytoplasmic contractile response to angiotensin II (AII).
1164 23090771 Significantly elevated mRNA levels of nephrin, podocin, and vascular endothelial growth factor were detected in preeclamptic women compared with healthy pregnant and healthy nonpregnant controls.
1165 23090771 A positive correlation (ρ=0.82; P<0.0001) was observed between nephrin and vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA levels in preeclamptic women.
1166 23223090 The maximally effective dose of valsartan was determined to be 1000 mg/l, which reduced proteinuria by 80% and maximally reduced glomerular matrix expansion, fibronectin, collagen I and collagen III staining and glomerular mRNAs for TGFß1, PAI-1, FN and collagen I.
1167 23223090 Notably, valsartan given at this dose prevented podocyte dysfunction by preserving expression of podocin and nephrin and the counter-regulating molecule B7-1 that is involved in podocyte injury.
1168 23296190 In addition to these receptors, Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) and retinoic acid-inducible gene 1 (RIG-I)-like helicases (RLHs), podocytes express the collateral proteins required to support intracellular signaling.
1169 23296190 The transcription factor interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-ĸB) are phosphorylated and translocate to the nucleus, and dsRNA increases synthesis of proteins driven by IRF3 (P54, P56 and P60) or NF-ĸB (interleukin 8 and A20).
1170 23296190 Furthermore, dsRNA suppresses podocyte cell migration, alters the expression of a panel of podocyte essential proteins (nephrin, podocin and CD2-associated protein or CD2AP) and changes transepithelial albumin flux.
1171 23436459 Active proteases in nephrotic plasma lead to a podocin-dependent phosphorylation of VASP in podocytes via protease activated receptor-1.
1172 23436459 By the use of siRNA technology, we show that proteases in the plasma signal predominantly via protease activated receptor-1 (PAR1) to VASP.
1173 23437316 Its gene product, the stomatin family member protein podocin represents a core component of the slit diaphragm, a unique structure that bridges the space between adjacent podocyte foot processes in the kidney glomerulus.
1174 23466998 Treatment of these transgenic zebrafish with metronidazole results in podocyte apoptosis, a loss of nephrin and podocin expression, foot process effacement, and a leaky glomerular filtration barrier.
1175 23466998 Following metronidazole washout, proliferating cells were detected in the glomeruli of recovering transgenic fish with a restoration of nitroreductase-GFP fluorescence, nephrin and podocin expression, a reestablishment of normal foot process architecture, and glomerular barrier function.
1176 23466998 Treatment of these transgenic zebrafish with metronidazole results in podocyte apoptosis, a loss of nephrin and podocin expression, foot process effacement, and a leaky glomerular filtration barrier.
1177 23466998 Following metronidazole washout, proliferating cells were detected in the glomeruli of recovering transgenic fish with a restoration of nitroreductase-GFP fluorescence, nephrin and podocin expression, a reestablishment of normal foot process architecture, and glomerular barrier function.
1178 23529346 Correspondingly, rmGH treatment also blocked hHcys-induced decrease in the expression of podocin, a podocyte slit diaphragm molecule, and inhibited the increases in the expression of desmin, a podocyte injury marker.
1179 23529346 It was also demonstrated that in hHcys the expression of epithelial markers, p-cadherin and ZO-1, decreased, while the expression of mesenchymal markers, antifibroblast-specific protein 1 (FSP-1) and α-SMA, increased in podocytes, which together suggest the activation of EMT in podocytes.
1180 23529346 Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (Nox)-dependent superoxide anion (O2 (.-)) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) level in the hHcys mice cortex was markedly enhanced.
1181 23547922 These animal models include the reduction of renal mass by resecting 5/6 of the kidney, reduction of renal mass due to systemic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia or SLE, drug-induced FSGS using adriamycin, puromycin or streptozotocin, virus-induced FSGS, genetically-induced FSGS such as via Mpv-17 inactivation and α-actinin 4 and podocin knockouts, and a model for circulating permeability factors.
1182 23552865 Moreover, we found a reduction of specific markers such as Wilm's tumor-1, podocin, and synaptopodin in both experimental groups indicating a loss of podocytes.
1183 23555556 In both in vivo and in vitro studies, the expression of synaptopodin, a molecular marker for podocyte integrity, and the slit diaphragm constituting molecules (SDCM), such as nephrin, podocin, and CD2-associated protein (CD2AP), were decreased in morphine-treated podocytes.
1184 23555556 In addition, AKT, p38, and JNK pathways were involved in morphine-induced down regulation of SDCM in human podocytes.
1185 23582971 The aim of this study was to investigate the temporal relationship between the expression of five podocyte proteins (nephrin, podocin, synaptopodin, α-actinin-4 and α3-integrin) and the development of podocyte injuries, proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis in OM rats.
1186 23676370 We evaluated the effects of chronic treatment with tolvaptan on renal dysfunction, podocyte injury, inflammation, oxidative stress, Rho-kinase, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2) pathway in the renal cortex of Dahl salt-sensitive hypertensive (DS) rats with end-stage severe HF.
1187 23676370 Decreased expression of nephrin and podocin and increased desmin-positive area in failing rats were restored by tolvaptan.
1188 23676370 Upregulation of NAD(P)H oxidase p22(phox), p47(phox), and gp91(phox), EMT markers such as transforming growth factor-β1, vimentin, and fibronectin expression, and Rho-kinase and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in DS rats were significantly suppressed by tolvaptan.
1189 23676370 Tolvaptan administration resulted in significant inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-α and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression, and nuclear factor-κB phosphorylation.
1190 23676370 We concluded that long-term tolvaptan therapy may improve renal dysfunction, glomerulosclerosis, podocyte injury, and inflammation associated with oxidative stress, as well as EMT, ERK, and the Rho-kinase pathway in the failing heart of DS rats.
1191 23677246 Divergent functions of the Rho GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42 in podocyte injury.
1192 23677246 The mammalian Rho GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42 are molecular switches that control many cellular processes, but are best known for their roles in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics.
1193 23677246 In addition, slit diaphragm proteins nephrin and podocin were redistributed, and cofilin was dephosphorylated.
1194 23677246 Thus, our study highlights the divergent roles of Rac1 and Cdc42 function in podocyte maintenance and injury.
1195 23710468 Compared to KK-a/a controls, 26-week-old KK-A (y) mice had elevated HbA1c, insulin, leptin, triglycerides, and cholesterol, and Unx further elevated these markers of metabolic dysregulation.
1196 23710468 Consistent with functional and histological evidence of increased injury, fibrotic (fibronectin 1, MMP9, and TGF β 1) and inflammatory (IL-6, CD68) genes were markedly upregulated in Unx KK-A (y) mice, while podocyte markers (nephrin and podocin) were significantly decreased.
1197 23761667 We detected the dynamic changes of urinary protein, urinary F2-isoprostane and renal malondialdehyde levels, kidney ultrastructure morphology, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), and nephrin and podocin expressions in Aldo-infused mice.
1198 23761667 In cultured podocytes, Aldo or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced MtD after 2-8 h of treatment, whereas the podocyte damage, as shown by decreased nephrin and podocin expressions, occurred later after 12 h of treatment.

1203 23799145 Angiotensin II receptor blocker attenuates intrarenal renin-angiotensin-system and podocyte injury in rats with myocardial infarction.
1204 23799145 The present study aimed to test the hypothesis that angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) provides renoprotective effects after MI by preventing augmented intrarenal renin-angiotensin-system (RAS)-induced podocyte injury.
1205 23799145 The current study revealed that MI-induced glomerular podocyte injury was identified by increased immunostaining for desmin and p16(ink4a), decreased immunostaining for Wilms' tumor-1 and podocin mRNA expression, and an induced increase of blood cystatin C at both 3 and 9 weeks.
1206 23799145 These changes were associated with increased intrarenal angiotensin II levels and enhanced expressions of angiotensinogen mRNA and angiotensin II receptor mRNA and protein.
1207 23799145 These changes were also associated with decreased levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) and decreased expressions of IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) protein and mRNA and phosphorylated(p)-Akt protein at 9 weeks, as well as increased expressions of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine at both time points.
1208 23799145 Treatment with losartan significantly attenuated desmin- and p16(ink4a)-positive podocytes, restored podocin mRNA expression, and decreased blood cystatin C levels.
1209 23799145 Losartan also prevented RAS activation and oxidative stress and restored the IGF-1/IGF-1R/Akt pathway.
1210 23799145 In conclusion, ARBs prevent the progression of renal impairment after MI via podocyte protection, partially by inhibiting the activation of the local RAS with subsequent enhanced oxidative stress and an inhibited IGF-1/IGF-1R/Akt pathway.

1219 23874454 We previously reported that podocyte-specific deletion of Myh9 (conventional myosin heavy chain 2A) in C57BL/6 mice does not cause spontaneous kidney disease but instead results in a predisposition to glomerulosclerosis in response to a second model of glomerular injury.
1220 23874454 In order to elucidate the cause of this strain dependent effect Podocin::Cre and Myh9(flox) alleles were backcrossed to mouse strain FVB/N, which is highly susceptible to glomerulosclerosis, with the aim of intercrossing susceptible FVB/N and resistant C57BL/6 mice in subsequent congenic analyses.
1221 23948707 NOX2 interacts with podocyte TRPC6 channels and contributes to their activation by diacylglycerol: essential role of podocin in formation of this complex.
1222 23948707 TRPC6 channels are typically activated by diacylglycerol (DAG) during PLC-dependent transduction cascades.
1223 23948707 We previously showed that podocin is required for DAG analogs to produce robust activation of TRPC6 channels in podocytes.

1254 23977013 By western blot analyzes of whole kidney tissue, we found significant reduction of both podocin and nephrin and enhanced expression of mesenchymal protein markers such as desmin, collagen type I and fibronectin.
1255 24069045 Rapamycin ameliorates proteinuria and restores nephrin and podocin expression in experimental membranous nephropathy.
1256 24137241 Furthermore, the glomerular hypertrophy and foot process effacement were improved, and there was a recovery of the slit diaphragm associated with nephrin and podocin expression.
1257 24137241 Furthermore, triptolide significantly reduced the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 and osteopontin, and the infiltration of ED-1-positive cells into the kidney.
1258 24173355 Macrophage depletion in diabetic CD11b-DTR mice significantly attenuated albuminuria, kidney macrophage recruitment, and glomerular histological changes and preserved kidney nephrin and podocin expression compared with diabetic CD11b-DTR mice treated with mutant DT.
1259 24195695 The present study sought to determine whether doses of ARB (AngII receptor blocker) that maximally reduce proteinuria could slow the progression of glomerulosclerosis in the uninephrectomized db/db mouse, a model of Type 2 diabetes.
1260 24195695 Untreated uninephrectomized db/db mice had normal blood pressure, but developed progressive albuminuria and mesangial matrix expansion between 18 and 22 weeks of age, which was associated with increased renal expression of TGFβ1 (transforming growth factor β1), PAI-1 (plasminogen-activator inhibitor-1), type IV collagen and FN (fibronectin).
1261 24195695 The expression of podocin and nephrin were continually decreased in mice with diabetes between 18 and 22 weeks of age.
1262 24195695 Renal expression of TNFα (tumour necrosis factor α), MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), Nox2 (NADPH oxidase 2), p22phox and p47phox and urine TBARS (thiobarbituric acid-reacting substance) levels, the markers of renal inflammation and oxidative stress, were increased during disease progression in mice with diabetes.
1263 24260371 Synaptopodin and podocin expression was reduced as well as nephrin protein, particularly in the SRL group.
1264 24260371 NFκB activation and IL-6 levels were lower in EVL and SRL, and even lower in SRL.
1265 24337247 Nephrin and Podocin functions are highly conserved between the zebrafish pronephros and mammalian metanephros.
1266 24337247 Zebrafish Nephrin and Podocin are important in the formation of the podocyte SD and mutations in NEPHRIN and PODOCIN genes cause human nephrotic syndrome.
1267 24337247 To understand the function of Podocin and Nephrin in zebrafish, splice‑blocking morpholino antisense oligonucleotides were used.
1268 24337247 Knockdown of Podocin or Nephrin by this method induced pronephric glomerular hypoplasia with pericardial edema.
1269 24337247 Human Nephrin and Podocin mRNA rescued this glomerular phenotype, however, the efficacy of the rescues was greatly reduced when mRNA‑encoding human disease‑causing NEPHRIN‑R1109X and PODOCIN‑R138Q were used.
1270 24337247 Furthermore, an association between zebrafish Nephrin and Podocin proteins was observed.
1271 24337247 Notably, Podocin‑R150Q, corresponding to human PODOCIN‑R138Q, markedly interacted with Nephrin compared with wild‑type Podocin, suggesting that this strong binding capacity of mutated Podocin impairs the transport of Nephrin and Podocin out of the endoplasmic reticulum.

1329 24443353 Untreated uninephrectomized db/db mice developed significant mesangial matrix expansion and albuminuria at week 22 of age, associated with segmental podocyte foot-process effacement, reduction of renal nephrin, podocin and zonula occludin-1 production and induction of renal desmin and B7-1 generation.
1330 24443353 Importantly, recombinant PAI-1 downregulated nephrin and zonula occludin-1 but increased desmin and B7-1 mRNA expression and protein production by podocytes in vitro, similar to the effects of transforming growth factor-β1.
1331 24443353 These observations provide evidence that PAI-1, in a manner similar to transforming growth factor-β1, directly induces podocyte injury, particularly in the setting of diabetes, where elevated PAI-1 may contribute to the progression of albuminuria.
1332 24454919 In addition, both puerarin and losartan increased expression of podocyte slit diaphragm proteins such as nephrin and podocin.
1333 24461191 Among the identified genes mutated in podocytes include NPHS2, NPHS1, WT1, TRPC6, MDR1, PLCE1, LMX1B, and LAMB2.
1334 24468088 IgA-HMC medium prepared with pIgA from IgAN, lead to obvious fibrogenic activation, evidenced by the loss of Podocin and CD2AP in podocytes, loss of E-cadherin and Megalin in HK2 cells and increase of FN and Col I in both cells. miR-21 targeted PTEN in these cells.
1335 24468088 Inhibition of miR-21 preserved the expression of PTEN, prevented the activation of Akt and inhibited the fibrogenic activation in podocytes and HK2 cells exposed to the IgA-HMC medium prepared with pIgA from IgAN.
1336 24468088 In conclusion, our study suggests that inhibition of miR-21 prevents fibrogenic activation in podocytes and tubular cells by preventing PTEN/Akt pathway activation in IgAN.
1337 24511133 The prohibitin homology domain of the slit diaphragm protein podocin contained one such site, threonine 234 (T234), located within a phosphorylation motif that is mutated in human genetic forms of proteinuria.
1338 24533170 High glucose induces podocyte injury via enhanced (pro)renin receptor-Wnt-β-catenin-snail signaling pathway.
1339 24533170 (Pro)renin receptor (PRR) expression is upregulated in diabetes.
1340 24533170 We hypothesized that PRR contributes to podocyte injury via activation of Wnt-β-catenin-snail signaling pathway.
1341 24533170 Compared to normal glucose, high glucose significantly decreased mRNA and protein expressions of podocin and nephrin, and increased mRNA and protein expressions of PRR, Wnt3a, β-catenin, and snail, respectively.
1342 24533170 Cells treated with high glucose and PRR siRNA demonstrated significantly attenuated mRNA and protein expressions of PRR, Wnt3a, β-catenin, and snail; enhanced expressions of podocin mRNA and protein, improved expression and reorganization of F-actin, and reduced transwell albumin flux.

1349 24647714 There was a paradoxical increase in CoRL in the intraglomerular compartment at 52 and 64 wk of age, where a subset coexpressed the podocyte proteins nephrin, podocin, and synaptopodin.
1350 24699703 Studies have shown that some mature proteins of podocytes, such as podocin, nephrin, and synaptopodin, were also expressed in neurons.
1351 24699703 We further inhibited the expression of Neuron-specific enolase, nestin, synaptopodin and Ubiquitin carboxy terminal hydrolase-1 by Small interfering RNA in cultured mouse podocytes and observed the significant morphological changes in treated podocytes.
1352 24699703 When podocytes were treated with Adriamycin, the protein expression of Neuron-specific enolase, nestin, synaptopodin and Ubiquitin carboxy terminal hydrolase-1 decreased over time.
1353 24722437 Stimulation of primary mouse podocytes with endothelin-1 elicited rapid calcium transients mediated by endothelin type A receptors (ETARs) and endothelin type B receptors (ETBRs).
1354 24722437 We then generated mice with a podocyte-specific double deletion of ETAR and ETBR (NPHS2-Cre×Ednra(lox/lox)×Ednrb(lox/lox) [Pod-ETRKO]).
1355 24722437 In vitro, treatment with endothelin-1 increased total β-catenin and phospho-NF-κB expression in wild-type glomeruli, but this effect was attenuated in Pod-ETRKO glomeruli.
1356 24722437 This evidence suggests that endothelin-1 drives development of glomerulosclerosis and podocyte loss through direct activation of endothelin receptors and NF-κB and β-catenin pathways in podocytes.
1357 24722440 Osr1 deficiency in mice results in metanephric kidney agenesis, whereas knockdown or mutation studies in zebrafish revealed that pronephric nephrons require osr1 for proximal tubule and podocyte development. osr1-deficient pronephric podocyte progenitors express the Wilms' tumor suppressor wt1a but do not undergo glomerular morphogenesis or express the foot process junctional markers nephrin and podocin.
1358 24722440 Furthermore, unlike the osr1-deficient proximal tubule phenotype, which can be rescued by manipulation of endoderm development, podocyte differentiation was not affected by altered endoderm development, as assessed by nephrin and podocin expression in double osr1/sox32-deficient embryos.
1359 24722440 Indeed, osr1-deficient embryos did not exhibit podocyte progenitor expression of the transcription factor lhx1a, and forced expression of activated forms of the lhx1a gene product rescued nephrin expression in osr1-deficient podocytes.
1360 24722440 Our results place osr1 in a framework of transcriptional regulators that control the expression of podocin and nephrin and thereby mediate podocyte differentiation.

1373 24827776 In diabetic mice, deletion of the CB2 receptor albuminuria, the downregulation of podocin and nephrin, mesangial expansion, overexpression of extracellular matrix components, monocyte infiltration, and reduced renal function were all exacerbated.
1374 24827776 Absence of CB2 on resident glomerular cells had a major role in worsening diabetic nephropathy, both functional and structural abnormalities, likely by enhanced MCP-1 and CB1 signaling.

1396 24854274 We found that the NPHS2 promoter also contains a cis-acting Lmx1b-FoxC motif that binds LMX1B and FoxC2.

1401 24858365 These effects appeared to be due to the maintained expression of nephrin and podocin on podocytes as well as the reduced expression of profibrotic factors like transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β).

1418 25012166 By bioinformatics analyses, we discovered that the promoter regions of all RAS genes contained putative T-cell factor (TCF)/lymphoid enhancer factor (LEF)-binding sites, and β-catenin induced the binding of LEF-1 to these sites in kidney tubular cells.
1419 25012166 Moreover, ICG-001 therapy restored expression of nephrin, podocin, and Wilms' tumor 1, attenuated interstitial myofibroblast activation, repressed matrix expression, and inhibited renal inflammation and fibrosis.
1420 25092178 The effects of Ang-(1-7) on the expression of podocyte-specific proteins [nephrin, Wilms tumor‑1 (WT-1) and podocin] and the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) were investigated by western blot analysis.
1421 25092178 The results revealed that in the cultured podocytes incubated with preeclamptic serum, there was a decrease in the expression of podocyte-specific proteins (nephrin and WT-1 but not podocin), a rearrangement of F-actin and apoptosis compared with the control group.
1422 25092178 However, treatment with Ang-(1-7) attenuated podocyte injury in the preeclamptic group, which may be mediated through the downregulation of MAPK (p38, ERK1/2 and JNK) phosphorylation.

1426 25138219 In cultured podocytes, size exclusion chromatography and confocal microscopy showed that inhibition of TXNIP by siRNA or verapamil prevented Hcys-induced TXNIP protein recruitment to form NLRP3 inflammasomes and abolished Hcys-induced increases in caspase-1 activity and IL-1β production.
1427 25138219 TXNIP inhibition protected podocytes from injury as shown by normal expression levels of podocyte markers, podocin and desmin.
1428 25138219 Furthermore, TXNIP inhibition significantly reduced caspase-1 activity and IL-1β production in glomeruli of mice with hHcys.
1429 25182410 Upregulation of Galectin-1 is associated with loss of podocin, which is important for the physiological function of podocytes and decreases in the renal tissues of diabetic nephropathy.
1430 25182410 Increased Galectin-1 is a causal event for the high glucose-induced loss of podocin, since silencing Galectin-1 in podocytes increased podocin expression in the presence of 25 mM glucose.

1438 25188527 Calcitriol, a bioactive 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, ameliorated proteinuria and renal damage as well as reversed the decline of both nephrin and podocin, crucial structural proteins in podocytes.
1439 25188527 Interestingly, calcitriol promoted M2 macrophage activation with enhanced expression of CD163, arginase-1, and mannose receptor at week 18 but not at week 8 or 14.
1440 25188527 The ratio of CD163 to CD68, considered as the proportion of M2 macrophages, was about 2.9-fold higher at week 18 after calcitriol treatment.
1441 25188527 Furthermore, the protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, a crucial marker of M1 macrophages, was negatively correlated with the expression of either nephrin or podocin, whereas CD163, indicating M2 macrophages, was positively correlated.

1448 25244654 After 8 w of indoxyl sulfate, podocytes showed foot process effacement, cytoplasmic vacuoles, and a focal granular and wrinkled pattern of podocin and synaptopodin expression.
1449 25244654 Furthermore, vimentin and AhR expression in the glomerulus was increased in the indoxyl sulfate-exposed glomeruli compared to controls.
1450 25244654 Glomerular expression of characteristic podocyte mRNAs was decreased, including Actn4, Cd2ap, Myh9, Nphs1, Nphs2, Podxl, Synpo, and Wt1.

1457 25292315 Meanwhile, in DN rats, the expression of podocyte specific markers including nephrin and podocin was significantly decreased, accompanied by increased desmin, a marker of podocyte injury.
1458 25292315 In contrast, TRPC6 was negatively correlated with both VDR and nephrin expression in podocytes.
1459 25420462 We discovered several phosphorylation sites with potentially high biological relevance, e.g. tyrosine phosphorylation of the cytoskeletal regulator synaptopodin and the slit diaphragm protein neph-1 (Kirrel).
1460 25420462 Moreover, cross-species comparisons revealed conserved phosphorylation of the slit diaphragm protein nephrin on an acidic cluster at the intracellular terminus and conserved podocin phosphorylation on the very carboxyl terminus of the protein.
1461 25420462 We studied a highly conserved podocin phosphorylation site in greater detail and show that phosphorylation regulates affinity of the interaction with nephrin and CD2AP.

1465 25422468 In cultured human podocytes, CB1R and desmin gene expression were increased and podocin and nephrin content were decreased by either the CB1R agonist arachydonoyl-2'-chloroethylamide, angiotensin II, or high glucose, and the effects of all three were antagonized by CB1R blockade or siRNA-mediated knockdown of CNR1 (the cannabinoid type 1 receptor gene).
1466 25460740 Moreover, the effects of the HO-system on podocyte cytoskeletal proteins like podocin, podocalyxin, CD2-associated-protein (CD2AP) and proteins of regeneration/repair like beta-catenin, Oct3/4, WT1 and Pax2 in renal tissue from normoglycemic obese Zucker-fatty rats (ZFs) have not been reported.
1467 25460740 These were associated with enhanced expression of beta-catenin, Oct3/4, WT1, Pax2 and nephrin, an essential transmembrane protein required for the formation of the scaffoldings of the podocyte slit-diaphragm, permitting the filtration of small ions, but not massive excretion of proteins, hence proteinuria.
1468 25460740 Besides nephrin, hemin also enhanced other important podocyte-regulators including, podocalyxin, podocin and CD2AP.
1469 25460740 Collectively, these data suggest that hemin ameliorates nephropathy by potentiating the expression of proteins of repair/regeneration, abating oxidative/inflammatory mediators, reducing renal histo-pathological lesions, while enhancing nephrin, podocin, podocalyxin, CD2AP and creatinine clearance, with corresponding reduction of albuminuria/proteinuria suggesting improved renal function in hemin-treated ZFs.

1478 25468389 In BXSB-Yaa mice, the glomerular levels of Tlr8 mRNA negatively correlated with the glomerular levels of podocyte functional markers (Nphs1, Nphs2, and Synpo) and positively correlated with urinary albumin levels.
1479 25468389 Furthermore, the glomerular and serum levels of miR-21, a putative microRNA ligand of TLR8, were higher in BXSB-Yaa mice than in BXSB mice.
1480 25501161 Recent studies have demonstrated that mutations in 4 podocyte genes, NPHS1, NPHS2, CD2AP, and WT1, are associated with the pathogenesis of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS).
1481 25501161 We analyzed mutations in the 4 podocyte genes, NPHS1, NPHS2, CD2AP, and WT1.
1482 25501161 Of the 20 SRNS children showing complete remission who responded to prolonged steroid therapy or immunosuppressive agents, 4 heterozygous NPHS1 mutations, 928G>A, IVS8+30C>T, IVS21+14G>A, and IVS25-23C>T, were identified in 4 patients and a heterozygous CD2AP mutation, IVS7-135G>A, was identified in 1 patient.

1486 25556170 Integration of Cistromic and Transcriptomic Analyses Identifies Nphs2, Mafb, and Magi2 as Wilms' Tumor 1 Target Genes in Podocyte Differentiation and Maintenance.
1487 25556170 The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene 1 (WT1) encodes a zinc finger transcription factor.
1488 25556170 To address the evolutionary conservation of WT1 targets, we performed functional assays using zebrafish as a model and identified Nphs2, Mafb, and Magi2 as novel WT1 target genes required for podocyte development.
1489 25556170 Our data also show that both Mafb and Magi2 are required for normal development of the embryonic zebrafish kidney.
1490 25676004 We focus on the staining gap (podocin gap) defined as the staining difference between podocin and synaptopodin, which are normally located in the foot process.
1491 25861251 Following the Huaier treatment, the notable downregulation of PGC-1α and its downstream molecule mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) were almost entirely blocked.
1492 25861251 Correspondingly, Huaier markedly ameliorated ADR-induced podocyte injury and mitochondrial dysfunction in both rat kidneys and incubated cells as it inhibited the decrease of nephrin and podocin expression, mtDNA copy number, MMP, and ATP content.
1493 25892536 Immunohistochemistry also revealed decreased and altered expression of nephrin and podocin in the glomeruli compared with normal canine glomeruli.
1494 25892536 These results suggested that the glomerular disease of the present case might be consistent with canine hereditary nephropathy resembling human Alport syndrome caused by genetic defect of type IV collagen, and indicated possible contribution of podocyte injury to severe proteinuria in this case.
1495 25986755 Observation by electronic microscope revealed structural damage of podocytes; the reduced expression level of podocyte marker genes, nephrin and podocin, was also detected by q-PCR.
1496 25986755 Moreover, AT2R gene and protein expressions in fetal kidneys were inhibited by PCE, associated with the repression of the gene expression of glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)/tyrosine kinase receptor (c-Ret) signaling pathway.
1497 26038526 In older age podocyte detachment rate (urine podocin mRNA-to-creatinine ratio) was higher than at younger ages and podocytes were stressed (increased urine podocin-to-nephrin mRNA ratio).
1498 26116357 Intravital Imaging Reveals Angiotensin II-Induced Transcytosis of Albumin by Podocytes.
1499 26116357 We recently showed that angiotensin II (Ang II) acutely increases albumin filtration in the healthy kidney.
1500 26116357 Acute infusion of 30, 60, or 80 ng/kg per minute Ang II enhanced the endocytosis of albumin by activation of the type 1 Ang II receptor and resulted in an average (±SEM) of 3.7±2.2, 72.3±18.6 (P<0.001), and 239.4±34.6 µm(3) (P<0.001) albumin-containing vesicles per glomerulus, respectively, compared with none at baseline or 10 ng/kg per minute Ang II.
1501 26116357 Immunostaining of Ang II-infused kidneys confirmed the presence of albumin-containing vesicles, which colocalized with megalin, in podocin-positive cells.
1502 26116357 Furthermore, podocyte endocytosis of albumin was markedly reduced in the presence of gentamicin, a competitive inhibitor of megalin-dependent endocytosis.
1503 26116357 Ang II infusion increased the concentration of albumin in the subpodocyte space, a potential source for endocytic protein uptake, and gentamicin further increased this concentration.
1504 26116357 Ang II enhances the endocytosis and transcytosis of plasma albumin by podocytes, which may eventually impair podocyte function.
1505 26155842 In addition, we observed a decreased expression of podocin and overexpression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and fibrotic-related markers, including transforming growth factor-β1, Col1a1, and α-smooth muscle actin.
1506 26156092 Recent advances show that human focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a primary podocytopathy caused by podocyte-specific gene mutations including NPHS1, NPHS2, WT-1, LAMB2, CD2AP, TRPC6, ACTN4 and INF2.
1507 26160898 The proteins sensing mechanical forces in podocytes are unconfirmed, but the classic transient receptor potential channel 6 (TRPC6) interacting with the MEC-2 homolog podocin may form a mechanosensitive ion channel complex in podocytes.
1508 26160898 However, TRPC6-deficient podocytes responded in a manner similar to that of control podocytes, and mechanically induced currents were unaffected by genetic inactivation of TRPC1/3/6 or administration of the broad-range TRPC blocker SKF-96365.
1509 26160898 Moreover, mechanical P2X4 channel activation depended on cholesterol and podocin and was inhibited by stabilization of the actin cytoskeleton.

1513 26175845 A feedback increase in renin production often accompanies angiotensin II blockade.
1514 26175845 We therefore examined whether aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, confers better renoprotection than angiotensin II blockade and whether the addition of aliskiren to an ACEI or ARB would enhance the efficacy in slowing the progression of glomerulosclerosis in diabetes.
1515 26175845 Untreated db/db mice developed progressive mesangial matrix expansion and albuminuria between weeks 18 and 22, associated with reduction of WT-1 immunopositive podocytes and nephrin and podocin production and induction of desmin and B7-1 generation and renal expression of TGFß1, PAI-1, fibronectin and type IV collagen.
1516 26175845 Combined therapy caused the loss of 10% ~ 16.6% of db/db mice, yielded no further reduction in renal fibrosis and podocyte injury but further reduced albuminuria and renal production of TNFα, Nox2 and p47phox and urine MCP-1 and malondialdehyde levels, the markers of renal inflammation and oxidative stress.
1517 26195484 Glomerular nephrin, Neph1, podocin, and endothelin-converting enzyme gene expression were downregulated in a dose-dependent manner.
1518 26234796 Role of the heme oxygenase-adiponectin-atrial natriuretic peptide axis in renal function.
1519 26234796 The mechanisms underlying the HO-mediated reno-protection include: (i) the restoration of renal morphology by enhancing proteins of regeneration, (ii) the potentiation of the HO-adiponectin-atrial natriuretic peptide axis, with corresponding suppression of oxidative/inflammatory insults and extracellular matrix/profibrotic factors, and (iii) the potentiation of podocyte cytoskeletal proteins such as nephrin, podocin, podocalyxin and CD2-associated-protein, which are fundamental for forming the glomerular filtration barrier that selectively allows small molecules to pass through but not large protein molecules.
1520 26234796 Thus, this review highlights the HO-adiponectin-atrial natriuretic peptide axis in renoprotection.
1521 26248309 In comparison, DBA/2J mice developed albuminuria on similar diets, signs of fibrosis, oxidative stress, early signs of podocyte loss (evaluated by the markers podocin and WT-1) and podocyte insulin resistance (unable to phosphorylate their glomerular Akt when insulin was given).
1522 26293507 Notch1 and Notch2 in Podocytes Play Differential Roles During Diabetic Nephropathy Development.
1523 26293507 Here, we report that conditional deletion of Notch1 in podocytes using NPHS2(cre)Notch1(flox/flox) animals resulted in marked amelioration of DKD.
1524 26293507 Deletion of Notch1 in podocytes also resulted in an increase in Notch2 expression, indicating an interaction between the receptors.
1525 26293507 At the same time, transgenic overexpression of Notch2 in podocytes did not induce phenotypic changes, while constitutive expression of Notch1 caused rapid development of albuminuria and glomerulosclerosis.
1526 26309060 Immunohistochemical microscopic findings of the expressions of FSP-1 and WT-1 (two glomerular damage indicators) and KIM-1 and snail (two renal tubular-damaged indicators) showed an identical pattern, whereas the expressions of ZO-1, p-cadherin, podocin, dystroglycan, fibronectin, and synaptopodin (six indices of glomerular integrity) demonstrated an opposite pattern compared to that of PIS among five groups (all P < 0.001).
1527 26309060 Protein expressions of inflammatory (TNF-α/NF-κB/MMP-9) and oxidative stress (NOX-1, NOX-2, oxidized protein) biomarkers exhibited an identical pattern to that of PIS among five groups (all P < 0.001).
1528 26522148 The expression levels of podocyte-specific proteins, nephrin, podocin, and synaptopodin were decreased in the MSHRSP/Kpo glomeruli, though another podocyte-specific protein, CD2AP, in the MSHRSP/Kpo glomeruli exhibited a similar extent of staining as in normotensive WKY/Kpo rats.
1529 26539236 Cellular experiments in vitro showed that curcumin significantly antagonized leptin-induced downregulation of the mRNA and protein expression of podocyte-associated molecules including nephrin, podocin, podoplanin, and podocalyxin.
1530 26539236 Furthermore, the experiments in vitro and in vivo both displayed that curcumin could downregulate the mRNA and protein expressions of Wnt1, Wnt2b, Wnt6, and β-catenin and upregulate the phosphorylation level of β-catenin protein in podocytes and renal tissue.
1531 26550253 After 8-week treatment, the rats of each group were killed for the renal functional and pathological detection, as well as the expression detection of nephrin and podocin of kidney tissues.
1532 26550253 Meanwhile, the expressions of nephrin/podocin were reduced (P<0.05); among which group B exhibited the most serious changes, while the situations of group E were improved after the combined treatment, the expressions of nephrin/podocin were increased.
1533 26550253 Low-dose rapamycin and valsartan could enhance the expressions of nephrin and podocin, reduce kidney damages, thus achieving the protective effects towards the kidneys, and the effects of the combined therapy were superior to those of monotherapy.

1540 26566632 FK506 reduces albuminuria through improving podocyte nephrin and podocin expression in diabetic rats.
1541 26628676 By immunoblotting, we found that several urinary serine proteases were significantly increased in CHF rats compared with sham rats (fold increases: furin 6.7, prostasin 23.6, plasminogen 2.06, and plasmin 3.57 versus sham).
1542 26628676 Consistent with these results, podocyte damage markers desmin and podocin expressions were also increased in rats with CHF (increased ≈2-folds).
1543 26632605 In the human study, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) patients presented with higher levels of urinary AGT, corrected by UP, than minimal-change disease (MCD) patients.
1544 26632605 Furthermore, AGT was evident in podocin-negative glomerular segmental lesions.
1545 26632605 The urinary AGT/UP ratio and AGT protein and mRNA expression in sieved glomeruli from FSGS rats were significantly higher than in MCD rats.
1546 26632605 Finally, we observed the renal tissue and urinary metabolism of exogenous injected human recombinant AGT (which is not cleaved by rodent renin) in FSGS and control rats.

1665 27151920 In diabetic nephropathy, the gene expression of claudins, in particular claudin-1, is markedly upregulated in the podocyte, accompanied by a tighter filtration slit and the appearance of TJ-like structures between the foot processes.
1666 27151920 However, there is no definitive evidence to show slit diaphragm (SD) to TJ transition in vivo Here, we report the generation of a claudin-1 transgenic mouse model with doxycycline-inducible transgene expression specifically in the glomerular podocyte.
1667 27151920 We found that induction of claudin-1 gene expression in mature podocytes caused profound proteinuria, and with deep-etching freeze-fracture electron microscopy, we resolved the ultrastructural change in the claudin-1-induced SD-TJ transition.
1668 27151920 Notably, immunolabeling of kidney proteins revealed that claudin-1 induction destabilized the SD protein complex in podocytes, with significantly reduced expression and altered localization of nephrin and podocin proteins.
1669 27151920 Mechanistically, claudin-1 interacted with both nephrin and podocin through cis- and trans-associations in cultured cells.

1678 27174202 GLCCI1 is a novel component associated with the PI3K signaling pathway in podocyte foot processes.
1679 27174202 The main objective of this study was to investigate the regulation of podocyte foot process proteins and to investigate the role of GLCCI1 in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway using high glucose-induced podocytes and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
1680 27174202 In podocytes and rat kidneys, GLCCI1 was found to be highly specific for the glomerulus and podocyte foot processes similar to other podocyte-specific proteins (nephrin, podocin, synatopodin and podocalyxin) based on reverse transcription-PCR, western blotting, immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy analyses.
1681 27174202 In addition, the decrease in the GLCCI1 expression level under hyperglycemic conditions was restored by treatment with a PI3K inhibitor (wortmannin).
1682 27174202 Immunofluorescence analysis confirmed that GLCCI1 colocalized with nephrin and synaptopodin both in vivo and in vitro.
1683 27174202 Hence, GLCCI1 is a component of podocyte foot processes, and its expression appears to be regulated via the PI3K pathway.

1691 27273997 In MCD mouse model and human kidney tissues, the expressions of podocyte slit membrane protein-nephrin and podocin, skeleton protein-synaptopodin are decreased, and the expression of synaptopodin is correlated with the response to hormone therapy.
1692 27273997 In addition, newest studies focused on another two potocyte associated proteins, CD80 and Angiopoietin-like-4.
1693 27273997 Angiopoietin-like-4 can be expressed in normal potocytes, but over-expression of angiopoietin-like-4 may injure the GBM charge barrier and induce the foot process fusion, leading to MCD.
1694 27273997 However, further studies on the factors inducing CD80 and Angiopoietin-like-4 expression, and the interaction between glomerular basement membrane and the two proteins are needed.
1695 27273997 Based on the mechanism of MCD, NF-kappa B inhibitors and sialylation therapy would be a novel non-immune therapy for MCD.
1696 27312386 Additionally, MPA can inhibit apoptosis in podocytes and seems to be beneficial in preserving the expression of nephrin and podocin, and by attenuation of urokinase receptor expression leads to decreased foot-process effacement.
1697 27350175 INF2 interacts directly with certain other mammalian diaphanous formin proteins (mDia) that function as RhoA effector molecules.
1698 27350175 FSGS-causing INF2 mutations impair these interactions and disrupt the ability of INF2 to regulate Rho/Dia-mediated actin dynamics in vitro.
1699 27350175 This is associated with persistent podocyte cytoplasmic aggregation, nephrin phosphorylation, and nephrin and podocin mislocalization, as well as impaired recovery of mDia membrane localization.
1700 27357417 The expression levels of epithelial markers, including nephrin, podocin and synaptopodin, were decreased by HG and increased by BIO, whereas the reverse were true for mesenchymal markers, including α‑smooth muscle actin (α‑SMA) and fibronectin.
1701 27357417 In conclusion, the present study revealed that the mechanism by which BIO inhibited HG‑mediated EMT in podocytes and the renal cortex was primarily due to the VDR.
1702 27403197 The proteins expressions of podocin, nephrin, collagen IV, and fibronectin (FN) were examined by immunohistochemical staining, and key proteins involved in TGF-β/Smad signaling were evaluated by RT-PCR and western blotting.
1703 27403197 JWDG decoction also inhibited the expression of the collagen IV, FN, and fibrogenic TGF-β.
1704 27406771 These NPHS2-Angptl4 transgenic rats over-express two different forms of the glycoprotein Angptl4 from the podocyte.
1705 27442391 Hildebrandt's group has shown that 85% of the SRNS cases with onset by 3 months of age and 66% with onset by 1 year of age can be explained by recessive mutations in one of four genes only (NPHS1, NPHS2, LAMB2, or WT1).
1706 27442391 This is very important for patients who carry mutations in a gene of coenzyme Q10 biosynthesis (COQ2, COQ6, ADCK4, or PDSS2).
1707 27462276 Restoration of renal function in HF rats by DPPIV inhibition was associated with increased active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) serum concentration, reduced DPPIV activity and increased activity of protein kinase A in the renal cortex.
1708 27462276 Furthermore, the anti-proteinuric effect of vildagliptin treatment in rats with established HF was associated with upregulation of the apical proximal tubule endocytic receptor megalin and of the podocyte main slit diaphragm proteins nephrin and podocin.
1709 27571993 Notoginsenoside R1 ameliorates podocyte injury in rats with diabetic nephropathy by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
1710 27571993 Pathological staining was performed to evaluate the renal protective effect of NR1, and the expression of the key slit diaphragm proteins, namely neprhin, podocin and desmin, were evaluated.
1711 27571993 In addition, the serum levels of inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), tumor growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6] as well as an anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) were assessed, and the apoptosis of podocytes was quantified.
1712 27571993 Finally, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway and the involvement of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) inactivation was further analyzed.
1713 27571993 In this study, NR1 improved renal function by ameliorating histological alterations, increasing the expression of nephrin and podocin, decreasing the expression of desmin, and inhibiting both the inflammatory response as well as the apoptosis of podocytes.
1714 27571993 Furthermore, NR1 treatment increased the phosphorylation of both PI3K (p85) and Akt, indicating that activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was involved.
1715 27571993 This is the first study to the best of our knowledge, to clearly demonstrate that NR1 treatment ameliorates podocyte injury by inhibiting both inflammation and apoptosis through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
1716 27571993 Notoginsenoside R1 ameliorates podocyte injury in rats with diabetic nephropathy by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
1717 27571993 Pathological staining was performed to evaluate the renal protective effect of NR1, and the expression of the key slit diaphragm proteins, namely neprhin, podocin and desmin, were evaluated.
1718 27571993 In addition, the serum levels of inflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), tumor growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6] as well as an anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10) were assessed, and the apoptosis of podocytes was quantified.
1719 27571993 Finally, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway and the involvement of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) inactivation was further analyzed.
1720 27571993 In this study, NR1 improved renal function by ameliorating histological alterations, increasing the expression of nephrin and podocin, decreasing the expression of desmin, and inhibiting both the inflammatory response as well as the apoptosis of podocytes.
1721 27571993 Furthermore, NR1 treatment increased the phosphorylation of both PI3K (p85) and Akt, indicating that activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was involved.
1722 27571993 This is the first study to the best of our knowledge, to clearly demonstrate that NR1 treatment ameliorates podocyte injury by inhibiting both inflammation and apoptosis through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
1723 27580845 Our results showed that CsA and FK506 treatment decreased proteinuria via a mechanism associated to a reduction in the foot-process fusion and desmin, and a recovery of synaptopodin and podocin.
1724 27580845 In PAN-treated mouse podocytes, pre-incubation with CsA and FK506 restored the distribution of the actin cytoskeleton, increased the expression of synaptopodin and podocin, improved podocyte viability, and reduced the migrating activities of podocytes.
1725 27580845 Treatment with CsA and FK506 also inhibited PAN-induced podocytes apoptosis, which was associated with the induction of Bcl-xL and inhibition of Bax, cleaved caspase 3, and cleaved PARP expression.
1726 27580845 Further studies revealed that CsA and FK506 inhibited PAN-induced p38 and JNK signaling, thereby protecting podocytes from PAN-induced injury.
1727 27630573 TRPC6 activation by 20-HETE was eliminated in cells pretreated with TEMPOL, a membrane-permeable superoxide dismutase mimic.
1728 27630573 Responses to 20-HETE were eliminated by siRNA knockdown of podocin, a protein that organizes NADPH oxidase complexes with TRPC6 subunits in this cell type.
1729 27633396 Secondly, knockdown of HDAC9 in mouse podocytes significantly suppressed HG-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cell apoptosis and inflammation through JAK2/STAT3 pathway and reduced the podocytes injury by decreasing the expression levels of Nephrin and Podocin.
1730 27704688 FAK contributes to proteinuria in hypercholesterolaemic rats and modulates podocyte F-actin re-organization via activating p38 in response to ox-LDL.
1731 27704688 FAK is also an adaptor protein initiating cascades of intracellular signals including c-Src, Rho GTPase and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK).
1732 27704688 Our cell culture data revealed oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) triggered hyper-phosphorylation of FAK and p38, ectopic expression of cellular markers (manifested as decreased WT1, podocin and NEPH1, and increased vimentin and mmp9), and re-arrangement of F-actin filaments with enhanced cell motility; these mutations were significantly rectified by FAK shRNA.
1733 27704688 Notably, pre-treatment of p38 inhibitor did not alter FAK activation, albeit its deletion of p38 hyper-activity and attenuation of cellular abnormalities, demonstrating that p38 acted as a downstream effector of FAK signalling and ox-LDL damaged podocytes in a FAK/p38-dependent manner.
1734 27704688 This was further identified by animal data that p38 activation was also abrogated by TAE226 treatment in hypercholesterolaemic rats, suggesting that FAK/p38 axis might also be involved in in vivo events.
1735 27748847 The expression levels of the epithelial cell markers, nephrin and podocin, and the myofibroblast cell markers, α‑smooth muscle actin (SMA) and fibronectin, in podocytes by western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining, respectively.
1736 27748847 It was observed that HG promotes EMT in podocytes, due to the increased levels of podocin and nephrin expression and the reduced α‑SMA and fibronectin expression levels.
1737 27748847 The expression levels of the epithelial cell markers, nephrin and podocin, and the myofibroblast cell markers, α‑smooth muscle actin (SMA) and fibronectin, in podocytes by western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining, respectively.
1738 27748847 It was observed that HG promotes EMT in podocytes, due to the increased levels of podocin and nephrin expression and the reduced α‑SMA and fibronectin expression levels.
1739 27823966 The linear regression analysis found the optical density of IFIT1 was inversely associated with F-actin, Nephrin, and Podocin, but not Synatopodin.

1756 27887947 The results indicated that berberine significantly mitigated high glucose-decreased cell viability, and nephrin and podocin expression as well as apoptosis in mouse podocytes.
1757 27887947 Furthermore, berberine significantly increased the high glucose-elevated Unc-51-like autophagy-activating kinase 1 (ULK1) S317/S555 phosphorylation, Beclin-1 expression, the ratios of LC3II to LC3I expression and the numbers of autophagosomes, but reduced ULK1 S757 phosphorylation in podocytes.
1758 28052869 In vitro, exposure of podocytes to Aldo enhanced NLRP3, caspase-1, and IL-18 expressions in dose- and time-dependent manners, indicating an activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, which was significantly blocked by the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist eplerenone or the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine.
1759 28052869 Silencing NLRP3 by a siRNA approach strikingly attenuated Aldo-induced podocyte apoptosis and nephrin protein downregulation in line with the blockade of caspase-1 and IL-18.
1760 28052869 In vivo, since day 5 of Aldo infusion, NLRP3 inflammasome activation and podocyte injury evidenced by nephrin reduction occurred concurrently.
1761 28052869 In the mice with NLRP3 gene deletion, Aldo-induced downregulation of nephrin and podocin, podocyte foot processes, and albuminuria was remarkably improved, indicating an amelioration of podocyte injury.
1762 28052869 Finally, we observed a striking induction of NLRP3 in glomeruli and renal tubules in line with an enhanced urinary IL-18 output in nephrotic syndrome patients with minimal change disease or focal segmental glomerular sclerosis.
1763 28117080 Most often this occurred in the three most common SRNS-associated genes: NPHS1, NPHS2, and WT1 but also in 14 other genes.
1764 28117080 The genotype did not always correlate with expected phenotype since mutations in OCRL, COL4A3, and DGKE associated with specific syndromes were detected in patients with isolated renal disease.
1765 28187984 Last, we compared Cre efficiency in a disease model by mating Nphs2pod.T2A.ciCre.T2A.mTomato/wild-type and hNphs2.Cre mice to Phb2fl/fl mice.
1766 28187984 The podocyte-specific Phb2 knockout by Nphs2pod.T2A.ciCre.T2A.mTomato/wild-type mice resulted in an aggravated glomerular injury as compared to a podocyte-specific Phb2 gene deletion triggered by hNphs2.Cre.
1767 28187984 Last, we compared Cre efficiency in a disease model by mating Nphs2pod.T2A.ciCre.T2A.mTomato/wild-type and hNphs2.Cre mice to Phb2fl/fl mice.
1768 28187984 The podocyte-specific Phb2 knockout by Nphs2pod.T2A.ciCre.T2A.mTomato/wild-type mice resulted in an aggravated glomerular injury as compared to a podocyte-specific Phb2 gene deletion triggered by hNphs2.Cre.
1769 28193546 Contribution of guanine nucleotide exchange factor Vav2 to NLRP3 inflammasome activation in mouse podocytes during hyperhomocysteinemia.
1770 28193546 NADPH oxidase (NOX)-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been demonstrated to mediate the activation of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes in podocytes in response to elevated levels of homocysteine (Hcys).
1771 28193546 The present study tested whether the guanine nucleotide exchange factor Vav2 mediates Rac1-mediated NOX activation in response to elevated Hcys leading to NLRP3 inflammasome activation in podocytes and consequent glomerular injury.
1772 28193546 In a mouse model of hyperhomocysteinemia (hHcys), we found that mice with hHcys (on the FF diet) or oncoVav2 (a constitutively active form of Vav2) transfection in the kidney exhibited increased colocalization of NLRP3 with apoptosis-associated speck-like protein (ASC) or caspase-1 and elevated IL-1β levels in glomeruli, indicating the formation and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome.
1773 28193546 Furthermore, Vav2 shRNA prevented Hcys-induced podocyte damage as shown by restoring Hcys-impaired VEGF secretion and podocin production.
1774 28193546 This inhibitory action of Vav2 shRNA on Hcys-induced podocyte injury was associated with reduction of Rac1 activity and ROS production.
1775 28193546 These results suggest that elevated Hcys levels activate Vav2 and thereby increase NOX activity leading to ROS production, which triggers NLRP3 inflammasome activation, podocyte dysfunction and glomerular injury.
1776 28223138 Foxc1 and Foxc2 are necessary to maintain glomerular podocytes.
1777 28223138 Foxc1 and Foxc2 (Foxc1/2) are transcription factors involved in many biological processes.
1778 28223138 Comparison of gene expression profiles revealed that Foxc1/2 maintain expression of genes necessary for podocyte function such as podocin and Cxcl12.
1779 28228401 Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate 1-like 1 epigenetically regulates nephrin gene expression.
1780 28228401 Here, we show that Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate 1-like 1 long form (WHSC1L1-L) is a novel epigenetic modifier of nephrin gene regulation.
1781 28228401 Gene knockdown of WHSC1L1-L in primary cultured podocytes accelerated the transcription of nephrin but not CD2AP.
1782 28228401 An in vivo zebrafish study involving the injection of Whsc1l1 mRNA into embryos demonstrated an apparent reduction of nephrin mRNA but not podocin and CD2AP mRNA.
1783 28228401 Finally, nephrin mRNA was upregulated in the glomerulus at the early proteinuric stage of mouse nephrosis, which was associated with the reduction of WHSC1L1.
1784 28266622 Sorting Nexin 9 facilitates podocin endocytosis in the injured podocyte.
1785 28266622 Here we identified the protein sorting nexin 9 (SNX9) as a novel facilitator of podocin endocytosis in a yeast two-hybrid analysis.
1786 28266622 Our results revealed and confirmed that SNX9 interacts with podocin exclusively through the Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (BAR) domain of SNX9.
1787 28266622 Finally, an analysis of human glomerular disease biopsy samples demonstrated strong SNX9 expression and co-localization with podocin in samples representative of severe podocyte injury, such as IgA nephropathy with poor prognosis, membranous nephropathy and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
1788 28266622 In conclusion, we identified SNX9 as a facilitator of podocin endocytosis in severe podocyte injury and demonstrated the expression of SNX9 in the podocytes of both nephropathy model mice and human patients with irreversible glomerular disease.

1809 28277542 MicroRNA-27a promotes podocyte injury via PPARγ-mediated β-catenin activation in diabetic nephropathy.
1810 28277542 MicroRNA-27a (miR-27a), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and β-catenin pathways have been involved in the pathogenesis of DN.
1811 28277542 We found that high glucose stimulated miR-27a expression, which, by negatively targeting PPARγ, activated β-catenin signaling as evidenced by upregulation of β-catenin target genes, snail1 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and downregulation of podocyte-specific markers podocin and synaptopodin.
1812 28320523 Moreover, the expression of synaptopodin and zonula occludens (ZO)-1 in RA-treated podocytes increased along with Krüppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) expression.
1813 28320523 Confocal microscopy revealed that RA increased the expression of cytoplasmic synaptopodin, which adopted a filamentous arrangement, and junctional ZO-1 expression, which showed a zipper-like pattern.
1814 28320523 The FSS+RA group showed increased synaptopodin and ZO-1 expression with prominent spikes on the cell-cell interface.
1815 28320523 Consistent with these data, the mRNA expression levels of synaptopodin, podocin, WT-1 and ZO-1 were synergistically increased by FSS and RA treatment.
1816 28329012 Four CoRL reporters (GFP, YFP, RFP, CFP) were restricted to cells in the juxtaglomerular compartment (JGC) at baseline.
1817 28329012 Following abrupt podocyte depletion in experimental FSGS, all four CoRL reporters were detected in a subset of glomeruli at day 28, where they co-expressed de novo four podocyte proteins (podocin, nephrin, WT-1 and p57) and two glomerular parietal epithelial cell (PEC) proteins (claudin-1, PAX8).
1818 28413908 For podocytes, expression of nephrin, podocin, P-cadherin, and ZO-1 is downregulated, the slit diaphragm (SD) will be altered, and the actin cytoskeleton will be rearranged.
1819 28413908 Diabetes, especially hyperglycemia, has been demonstrated to incite podocyte EMT through several molecular mechanisms such as TGF-β/Smad classic pathway, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, Integrins/integrin-linked kinase (ILK) signaling pathway, MAPKs signaling pathway, Jagged/Notch signaling pathway, and NF-κB signaling pathway.
1820 28502979 Chrysin treatment dose-dependently restored the increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and suppressed Apaf-1 induction and the elevated cytochrome c release in high glucose-exposed renal podocytes.
1821 28502979 In addition, this compound improved the induction of slit diaphragm proteins podocin/nephrin in the diabetic glomeruli.
1822 28560004 Protein expressions of inflammation (IL-1β/MMP-9), oxidative stress (NOX-1/NOX-2/oxidized protein, angiotensin-II receptor), apoptosis (Bax, cleaved caspase-3/PARP), fibrosis (Smad3/TGF-β), and kidney injured (KIM-1/FSP-1) markers showed an identical pattern, whereas anti-fibrosis (Smad5/BMP-2) indices exhibited an opposite pattern compared to that of creatinine level among all groups (all p < 0.01).
1823 28560004 Cellular expressions of inflammation (CD14/CD68), DNA-damage (γ-H2AX, CD90/XRCC1) and proximal-renal tubule (KIM-1) biomarkers displayed an identical pattern, whereas podocyte-integrity markers (podocin/ZO-1/p-cadherin/synaptopodin) showed a pattern opposite to that of creatinine level among all groups (all p < 0.001).
1824 28583549 Glomerular mRNA expression profiling showed down-regulations of podocyte-related genes (Wilms tumor 1, synaptopodin, nephrin, CD2-associated protein, and podocin) and of transforming growth factor-beta (a marker of fibrosis) in sirolimus-treated mice.
1825 28583549 In addition, expressions of the antiapoptotic genes Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL were also down-regulated.
1826 28629718 Rare genetic forms of FSGS can be caused by mutations in TRPC6, which encodes a Ca2+-permeable cationic channel expressed in mesangial cells and podocytes; and NPHS2, which encodes podocin, a TRPC6-binding protein expressed in podocyte slit diaphragm domains.
1827 28629718 Here we observed that exposing immortalized mouse podocytes to serum or plasma from recurrent FSGS patients for 24h increased the steady-state cell-surface abundance of TRPC6, accompanied by an increase in currents through endogenous TRPC6 channels evoked by a hypoosmotic stretch stimulus.
1828 28629718 Most but not all of the recurrent FSGS plasma samples that we examined also caused a loss of podocin over a period of several hours.
1829 28629718 The loss of podocin was also seen following exposure to suPAR but not TNF.
1830 28629718 However, TNF increased the effects of suPAR on TRPC6 and podocin, and TNF and suPAR are required for the full effects of one of the recurrent FSGS plasma samples.
1831 28629718 The actions of FSGS plasma, suPAR and TNF on surface abundance of TRPC6 were blocked by cilengitide, an inhibitor of αvβ3-integrin signaling.

1833 28629718 Rare genetic forms of FSGS can be caused by mutations in TRPC6, which encodes a Ca2+-permeable cationic channel expressed in mesangial cells and podocytes; and NPHS2, which encodes podocin, a TRPC6-binding protein expressed in podocyte slit diaphragm domains.
1834 28629718 Here we observed that exposing immortalized mouse podocytes to serum or plasma from recurrent FSGS patients for 24h increased the steady-state cell-surface abundance of TRPC6, accompanied by an increase in currents through endogenous TRPC6 channels evoked by a hypoosmotic stretch stimulus.

1854 28642201 An elevated level of Nphs2 protein and reduced caspase 3 level indicated the preservation of podocytes and inhibition of cell apoptosis after CoQ10-lip+UTMD treatment.
1855 28642201 The molecular mechanism was associated with the upregulation of Bcl-2 and the downregulation of Bax.
1856 28674043 In FSGS-SCID mice, human Muse cells preferentially integrated into the damaged glomeruli and spontaneously differentiated into cells expressing markers of podocytes (podocin; 31%), mesangial cells (megsin; 13%), and endothelial cells (CD31; 41%) without fusing to the host cells; attenuated glomerular sclerosis and interstitial fibrosis; and induced the recovery of creatinine clearance at 7 weeks.
1857 28724775 We applied a novel proteomics technology that enables proteome-wide identification, mapping, and quantification of protein N-termini to comprehensively characterize cleaved podocyte proteins in the glomerulus in vivo We found evidence that defined proteolytic cleavage results in various proteoforms of important podocyte proteins, including those of podocin, nephrin, neph1, α-actinin-4, and vimentin.

1878 28759006 To explore the significance of Sall1 in differentiated podocytes, we investigated podocyte-specific Sall1-deficient mice (Sall1 KOp°d°/p°d°) using a podocin-Cre/loxP system and siRNA Sall1 knockdown (Sall1 KD) podocytes.
1879 28759006 Differentiated Sall1 KD podocytes showed a loss of synaptopodin, suppressed stress fiber formation, and, ultimately, impaired directed cell migration.
1880 28759006 These results indicated that Sall1 has a protective role in podocytes; thus, we investigated the endoplasmic reticulum stress marker GRP78.
1881 28759006 GRP78 expression was higher in ADR-treated Sall1 KOp°d°/p°d° mice than in control mice.
1882 28759006 Sall1 appeared to influence the expression of GRP78 in injured podocytes.
1883 28843828 The renal contents of advanced glycation end-products, interleukin-10, tissue growth factor-β, nuclear factor (NF)-κB and Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac 1) were decreased.
1884 28843828 Renal nephrin and podocin contents were increased and their mRNA expressions were replenished in vinpocetine-treated rats.
1885 28843828 This beneficial effect could be attributed to its antioxidant and antihyperglycemic effects parallel to its ability to inhibit NF-κB which eventually modulated cytokines production as well as nephrin and podocin proteins expression.

1889 28849106 Advanced glycation end products induce the apoptosis of and inflammation in mouse podocytes through CXCL9-mediated JAK2/STAT3 pathway activation.
1890 28849106 Based on an in vitro model of mouse podocyte injury, AGEs decreased the proliferation of podocytes and increased the expression of CXCL9 and C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3), and promoted the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3).
1891 28849106 Moreover, the levels of inflammatory factors, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‑α and interleukin (IL)‑6 were also decreased in the podoyctes transfected with siRNA-CXCL9, accompanied by the increased expression of nephrin and podocin, and decreased levels of Bax/Bcl-2 and activated caspase-3.
1892 28849106 The knockdown of CXCL9 also led to the inactivation of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/STAT3 pathway.
1893 28849106 On the whole, and to the best of our knowledge, this study demonstrates for the first time that AGEs exert pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory effects in mouse podoyctes through the CXCL9-mediated activation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

1902 28879567 In murine podocytes, PGE2 dose- and time-dependently increased the phosphorylation of Stat3 in line with the enhanced cell apoptosis and reduced podocyte protein podocin.
1903 28879567 In agreement with the increased Stat3 phosphorylation, Stat3-derived cytokines including IL-6, IL-17, MCP-1, and ICAM-1 were significantly upregulated following PGE2 treatment.

1929 28879567 Targeting mPGES-1/PGE2/Stat3 signaling might be a potential strategy for the treatment of podocytopathy.
1930 28905451 Here, we show that hPSC-podocytes phenocopy mammalian podocytes at the capillary loop stage (CLS), recapitulating key features of ultrastructure, gene expression, and mutant phenotype. hPSC-podocytes in vitro progressively establish junction-rich basal membranes (nephrin+ podocin+ ZO-1+ ) and microvillus-rich apical membranes (podocalyxin+ ), similar to CLS podocytes in vivo.
1931 28935820 Serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 3 (SGK3) is a downstream mediator of PI3K, which is essential for maintaining the functional integrity of podocytes.
1932 28935820 Short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown of SGK3 also reduced podocin expression in the absence of PAN.
1933 28935820 Consistent with a role for SGK3 in the ADR effect, SGK3 knockout (KO) mice had markedly reduced kidney podocin expression and significantly elevated proteinuria compared with wild-type mice.
1934 28935820 Serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 3 (SGK3) is a downstream mediator of PI3K, which is essential for maintaining the functional integrity of podocytes.
1935 28935820 Short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown of SGK3 also reduced podocin expression in the absence of PAN.
1936 28935820 Consistent with a role for SGK3 in the ADR effect, SGK3 knockout (KO) mice had markedly reduced kidney podocin expression and significantly elevated proteinuria compared with wild-type mice.
1937 29038743 Here, we demonstrate an efficient (> 90%) and chemically defined method for directing the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells into podocytes that express markers of the mature phenotype (nephrin+, WT1+, podocin+, Pax2-) and that exhibit primary and secondary foot processes.
1938 29038743 We also show that the hiPS-cell-derived podocytes produce glomerular basement-membrane collagen and recapitulate the natural tissue/tissue interface of the glomerulus, as well as the differential clearance of albumin and inulin, when co-cultured with human glomerular endothelial cells in an organ-on-a-chip microfluidic device.
1939 29038896 Compared with the control (C57 or BKS), ATF3 expression was elevated in animal model of proteinuria (LPS-treated C57 mice) and the model of diabetic nephropathy (db/db mice).
1940 29038896 Overexpression of ATF3 increased podocyte apoptosis and decreased expression of podocin, the cell marker of podocyte; in contrast, ATF3-small interfering RNA knockdown reduced podocyte apoptosis and increased podocin expression.
1941 29038896 ATF3 directly modulates the regulation of NFATc1 gene promoter activity and alters the expression of Wnt6 and Fzd9, direct target genes of NFATc1 signaling.
1942 29038896 The ATF3 binding site of NFATc1 gene promoter is located at the region 671-775 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site.
1943 29070572 Fasting blood glucose and insulin and the expression of podocin, nephrin, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), glucose transporter type (Glut4), and microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3) were assayed.
1944 29070572 The decreased translocation of Glut4 to the plasma membrane and excess autophagy seen in mice fed a high-fat diet and in PA-treated cultured podocytes were attenuated by GLP-1.
1945 29070572 GLP-1 restored insulin sensitivity and ameliorated renal injury by decreasing the level of autophagy.
1946 29110957 The kidney expresses protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1).
1947 29110957 PAR-1 is known as a thrombin receptor, but its role in kidney injury is not well understood.
1948 29110957 Pathological analysis showed that Q94 treatment significantly attenuated periodic acid-Schiff and desmin staining, indicators of podocyte injury, and also decreased glomerular levels of podocin and nephrin.
1949 29110957 In addition, both Q94 and Rox4560 suppressed the doxorubicin-induced increase in activities of caspase-9 and caspase-3 in podocytes.
1950 29115406 Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 5 (TRAF5) has been demonstrated to mediate the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
1951 29115406 The NF-κB inhibitor, caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), mimicked the protective effects of BBR, as evidenced by the increased expression of nephrin and podocin, and the decreased the expression of caspase-3 and the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2.
1952 29138824 However, FSGS does not result exclusively from podocyte‑associated genes, however also from other genes including collagen IV‑associated genes.
1953 29138824 Patients who carry the collagen type IVA3 chain (COL4A3) or COL4A4 mutations usually exhibit Alport Syndrome (AS), thin basement membrane neuropathy or familial hematuria (FH).
1954 29138824 Genomic DNA of the siblings affected by FH with biopsy‑proven FSGS was analyzed, and their father was screened for 18 gene mutations associated with FSGS [nephrin, podocin, CD2 associated protein, phospholipase C ε, actinin α 4, transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 6, inverted formin, FH2 and WH2 domain containing, Wilms tumor 1, LIM homeobox transcription factor 1 β, laminin subunit β 2, laminin subunit β 3, galactosida α, integrin subunit β 4, scavenger receptor class B member 2, coenzyme Q2, decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 2, mitochondrially encoded tRNA leucine 1 (UUA/G; TRNL1) and SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a like 1] using matrix‑assisted laser desorption/ionization time‑of‑flight mass spectrometry technology.
1955 29138824 Using mass array technology, a TRNL1 missense homozygous mutation (m. 3290T>C) was identified in the probands diagnosed with FH and manifested as FSGS on biopsy.
1956 29138824 In the present study, a mutation in TRNL1 (m. 3290T>C) was identified, which was the first reported variant associated with FSGS.
1957 29138824 The COL4A4 (c. 4195A>T) may co‑segregate with FSGS.
1958 29175208 A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within the acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC) β gene (ACACB), rs2268388, has been shown to be associated with susceptibility to development of proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes.
1959 29175208 In STZ-induced diabetic mice, ACACB-transgenic mice showed a significant increase in urinary albumin excretion, accompanied by decreased synaptopodin expression and podocin mislocalization in podocytes, compared with wild-type mice.
1960 29175208 In cultured murine podocytes, overexpression of ACACB significantly decreased synaptopodin expression and reorganized stress fibers under high glucose conditions, but not in normal glucose conditions.
1961 29175208 The decrease of synaptopodin expression and reorganized stress fibers observed in ACACB overexpressing cells cultured under high glucose conditions was reversed by a treatment of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-4-ribofuranoside (AICAR), activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).
1962 29244787 These slits are covered by a number of surface proteins, such as nephrin, podocin, podocalyxin and CD2AP.
1963 29246788 Five-week-old rats were fed with high-fat diet for 18weeks to establish the ORG model, then the histological change of glomeruli, the foot process effacement of podocyte, the markers for podocyte injury (nephrin,podocin and WT1) and Cx43 expression in glomeruli were examined respectively.
1964 29328453 In the in vivo animal experiments, body weight, Lee's obesity index, abdominal fat index, urinary protein excretion, average glomerular diameter were significantly increased, the mRNA and protein expression of podocyte‑associated molecules including nephrin, podocin, podoplanin and podocalyxin were significantly reduced, and the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway was activated in ORG model mice compared with the Control mice, whereas the administration of spironolactone significantly ameliorated these effects.
1965 29335087 Transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6) is a member of the transient receptor superfamily encoded by the TRPC6 gene and is widely expressed in tissues and organs of the human body, especially in the glomerular podocytes.
1966 29335087 TRPC6 interacts with various slit diaphragm (SD) proteins including podocin, nephrin, ACTN4, and CD2AP to maintain the normal structure and function of glomerular podocytes.
1967 29361670 The inducible podocyte-specific PTEN knockin (PPKI) mice were generated by crossing newly created transgenic loxP-stop- loxP-PTEN mice with podocin-iCreERT2 mice.

2026 29931909 [Effects of ferulic acid on the expressions of nephrin and podocin in podocytes of diabetic rats].
2027 29948786 It ameliorated glomerular injury due to diabetes by increasing glomerular nephrin and synaptopodin expressions, mitigating renal integrin-linked kinase (ILK) levels, and lowering urinary albumin, collagen type IV, and podocin excretions.
2028 29948786 Additionally, the combination also alleviated indices of renal inflammation as revealed by decreased renal monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) and chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 12 (CXCL12) expressions, F4/80-positive macrophages, glomerular TUNEL-positive cells, and urinary alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) levels.
2029 29960864 Using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction of the podocyte-specific molecules nephrin, podocin, and VEGF-A in the urine, we examined whether podocyturia is present in bevacizumab-treated cancer patients, and whether it relates to proteinuria and the cumulative dose of bevacizumab.
2030 29960864 Urinary podocin mRNA expression was undetectable in 59% of participants, urinary nephrin mRNA expression per mmol creatinine ranged from 0.0 to 5.3 and urinary VEGF-A mRNA expression from 0.0 to 2.7.
2031 29960864 Urinary nephrin mRNA expression did not correlate to the albumin-to-creatinine ratio or the cumulative dose of bevacizumab, whereas the latter correlated with the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (r = 0.77; P < .001).
2032 29960864 Using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction of the podocyte-specific molecules nephrin, podocin, and VEGF-A in the urine, we examined whether podocyturia is present in bevacizumab-treated cancer patients, and whether it relates to proteinuria and the cumulative dose of bevacizumab.

2036 29967295 In contrast, the expression of the 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein ((GRP78), also known as the binding Ig protein, BiP) and the phosphorylation of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 1 (eIF1) were significantly elevated in the G1/HPs and G2/HPs, suggesting a possible occurrence of ER stress in these cells.
2037 29967295 Furthermore, ER stress inhibitors not only restored nephrin protein expression, but also provided protection against necrosis in G1/HPs and G2/HPs, suggesting that APOL1 risk variants cause podocyte injury partly through enhancing ER stress.
2038 29980767 Further, immunopositive area of endothelial marker (CD34), podocyte functional molecules (Nephrin, Podocin, Synaptopodin, and Wilms' tumour 1 (WT1)), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF A) significantly decreased in the glomerulus of BXSB/MpJ-Yaa compared with BXSB at final stage.

2044 30133147 We showed a strong correlation between BDNF and the kidney injury marker KIM-1, which were also correlated with NPHS1, suggesting podocytes as a contributing source.
2045 30133147 An inhibition of the BDNF receptor TrkB resulted in enhanced podocyte dedifferentiation.
2046 30133147 We demonstrated that BDNF is essential for glomerular development, morphology and function and the expression of BDNF and KIM-1 is highly correlated in urine cells of CKD patients.

2066 30379099 We performed polysome analysis of intact and injured podocytes utilizing the NEP25 and RiboTag transgenic mice, in which a hemagglutinin tag is attached to ribosomal protein L22 selectively in podocytes.
2067 30379099 Compared with glomerular cells, 353 genes were highly expressed and enriched in podocytes; these included important podocyte genes and also heretofore uncharacterized genes, such as Dach1 and Foxd2.
2068 30379099 MafF and Egr-1, which structurally have the potential to antagonize MafB and WT1, respectively, were rapidly and markedly increased in injured podocytes before MafB and WT1 were decreased.

2109 31371698 The roles of PVT1 and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) were validated via loss-of-function and gain-of-function in vitro experiments to identify the interactions among PVT1, EZH2, and forkhead box A1 (FOXA1).
2110 31371698 The podocyte damage and apoptosis due to PVT1 and FOXA1 were verified with in vivo experiments.
2111 31371698 A large number of CpG (C-phosphate-G) island sites were predicted at the FOXA1 promoter region, where PVT1 recruited EZH2 to promote the recruitment of H3K27me3.

2455 34780752 In fructose-exposed conditionally immortalized human podocytes, we found that atractylodin inhibited podocyte hypermotility, and up-regulated slit diaphragm proteins podocin and nephrin, and cytoskeleton protein CD2-associated protein (CD2AP), α-Actinin-4 and synaptopodin expression, which were consistent with its anti-oxidative activity evidenced by up-regulation of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) 1 expression, and reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.
2456 34780752 Atractylodin also significantly suppressed expression of transient receptor potential channels 6 (TRPC6) and phosphorylated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMK4) in cultured podocytes with fructose exposure.
2457 34780752 Additionally, in fructose-exposed podocytes, CaMK4 siRNA up-regulated synaptopodin and reduced podocyte hypermotility, whereas, silencing of TRPC6 by siRNA decreased p-CaMK4 expression, inhibited podocyte hypermotility, showing TRPC6/p-CaMK4 signaling activation in podocyte hypermotility under fructose condition.

2474 35126185 Serum and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 3 (SGK3) is involved in maintaining podocyte function by regulating the protein levels of podocin and CD2-associated protein.
2475 35126185 Nephrin is also one of the slit diaphragm proteins of podocytes, but whether SGK3 participates in podocyte injury by regulating the levels of nephrin remains unclear.
2476 35126185 In this study, we focused on whether SGK3 affects nephrin levels and the mechanisms involved in the same.
2477 35126185 In the kidneys of adriamycin (ADR)-induced podocyte injury mouse model, the protein levels of SGK3 and nephrin were significantly decreased.
2478 35126185 In ADR-treated conditionally immortalized mouse podocyte cells (MPCs), the protein levels of nephrin and SGK3 were inhibited, while the constitutive expression of SGK3 reversed the ADR-induced decline in nephrin protein levels.
2479 35126185 Furthermore, ADR treatment or SGK3 inactivation enhanced the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of nephrin in MPCs, and dramatically activated downstream effector proteins of SGK3, neural precursor cells expressing developmentally downregulated protein 4 subtype 2 (Nedd4-2) and glycogen synthase kinase-3 β (GSK3β).
2480 35126185 Similarly, Nedd4-2 or GSK3β overexpression resulted in increased activity of Nedd4-2 or GSK3β, and significantly downregulated nephrin levels.
2481 35126185 Interestingly, ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation of nephrin was regulated by Nedd4-2, rather than by GSK3β.
2482 35126185 In summary, SGK3 inactivation downregulated the levels of nephrin by increasing Nedd4-2 and GSK3β activity in ADR-induced podocyte injury model; in particular, the SGK3/Nedd4-2 signaling pathway was found to be involved in ubiquitin-mediated proteasome degradation of nephrin.

2510 23657570 They also suggest that podocin deficiencies will result in Ca(2+) overload in foot processes, as with gain-of-function mutations in the TRPC6 gene.
2511 23657570 Finally, they suggest that mechanical activation of TRP family channels and the preferred mode of TRP channel activation may depend on whether members of the stomatin/prohibitin family of hairpin loop proteins are present.
2512 23657570 Opposing effects of podocin on the gating of podocyte TRPC6 channels evoked by membrane stretch or diacylglycerol.
2513 23657570 Gain-of-function mutations in the transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel subfamily C member 6 (TRPC6) gene and mutations in the NPHS2 gene encoding podocin result in nephrotic syndromes.
2514 23657570 Stretch activation of podocyte TRPC6 persisted in the presence of inhibitors of phospholipase C (U-73122) and phospholipase A2 (ONO-RS-082).

2536 29270765 Given our finding that maxacalcitol does not repress renin, the reduction of proteinuria by this agent is likely due to direct upregulation of the nephrin and podocin in podocytes.
2537 29270765 Moreover, this agent downregulates the mesenchymal marker desmin in podocytes and blocks transforming growth factor-beta autoinduction, leading to attenuation of renal fibrosis in a unilateral ureteral obstructive (UUO) model.
2538 22828802 This effect of NMDA was associated with increased cell-surface expression of p47(phox), a cytosolic regulatory subunit of the NADPH oxidase NOX2.
2539 22828802 NMDA treatment also evoked robust activation of Rho but not Rac,consistent with previous studies of downstream effectors of TRPC6 activation.
2540 22828802 Exposing cells to NMDA for 24 h reduced total and cell surface expression of the podocyte markers nephrin and podocin, but there was no loss of cells.
2541 22828802 With longer NMDA exposure (72 h), we observed loss of cells associated with nuclear fragmentation and increased expression of caspase-3, caspase-6, and Bax, suggesting an apoptotic process.
