Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examined the role of insulin signaling pathway in podocytes on the development of diabetic nephropathy. The podocyte-specific knock-out mice were generated using the Cre-mediated recombination controlled by the podocin promoter. Knock-out mice was developed proteinuria around 3 week-old age, and died due to end stage renal failure by 10 weeks after birth. Histologically, features characteristic of focal segmental glomerular sclerosis, including podocyte foot process effacement, mesangial sclerosis, and casts, were observed in the kidney of knock-out mice. Podocytes isolated from knockout-mice also exhibited the lowered autophagic activity as indicated by an increased abundance of p62 and a decreased abundance of LC3B-II. These findings suggest that dysregulation of insulin signaling pathway in podocytes may be involved in the pathogenesis of podocyte injury, leading to proteinuric kidney disease.
