Melanocortin 5 receptor signaling protects against podocyte injury in proteinuric glomerulopathies.
Kidney Int
January 2025
Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, University of Toledo College of Medicine, Toledo, Ohio, USA; Division of Kidney Disease and Hypertension, Rhode Island Hospital, the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA. Electronic address:
Melanocortin therapeutics, exemplified by adrenocorticotropic hormone, have a proven steroidogenic-independent anti-proteinuric and glomerular protective effect. The biological functions of melanocortins are mediated by melanocortin receptors (MCR), including MC1R, which recent studies have shown to protect against glomerular disease. However, the role of other MCRs like MC5R is unknown.

Comb Chem High Throughput Screen
January 2025
Department of Nephrology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shijiazhuang 050011,China.
Background: Shengyang Yiwei Decoction showed efficacy in idiopathic membranous nephropathy treatment, and this study aimed to assess the underlying molecular mechanisms.
Methods: Rats with passive Heymann nephritis were divided into the model group, the Shengyang Yiwei Decoction group, the JAK2 inhibitor group, and the STAT3 inhibitor group. Healthy rats served as the normal control.
Calcium calmodulin kinase IV deficiency in podocytes prevents the development of lupus nephritis.

February 2025
Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02215, United States of America.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by widespread organ involvement including the kidney. Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IV (CaMK4) has been shown to conrol immune cell nad podocyte function. To address the effect of genetic podocyte-specific CaMK4 deficiency on systemic autoimmunity and kidney pathology in lupus-prone mice we generated B6.

July 2024
Departamento de Nefrología, Escuela de Medicina, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile.
Unlabelled: Glomerular filtration rate estimates are usually indexed to a standard body surface area (BSA) of 1.73 m2. This allows comparing values of individuals of different sizes but has the potential of affecting individuals with extremes BSA.

J Cyst Fibros
January 2025
Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Lebanon, NH, USA; Department of Epidemiology, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Lebanon, NH, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Adult people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) have a higher risk of end-stage kidney disease than the general population. The nature and mechanism of kidney disease in CF are unknown. This study quantifies urinary kidney injury markers and examines the hypothesis that neutrophil activation and lung infection are associated with early kidney injury in CF.
