We established podocyte-specific and renal tubule-secific O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) transgenic mouse models and analyzed their phenotypes to elucidate the effect of glycosylation of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in hypertension and renal dysfunction.MR activity examined in kidney tissues was enhanced in renal tubule-specific OGT transgenic mice, which suggested that the glycosylation of MR could be involved in the underlying mechanism of “MR-associated hypertension” in diabetes.
