Accumulation of plasma advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) promotes progression of proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis. To investigate the molecular basis of AOPPs-induced proteinuria, normal Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with AOPPs-modified rat serum albumin. The expression of glomerular podocyte slit diaphragm (PSD)-associated proteins, nephrin and podocin, was significantly decreased coincident with the onset of albuminuria in rats treated with AOPPs. Chronic inhibition of NADPH oxidase by apocynin prevented down-regulation of nephrin and podocin and decreased albuminuria in AOPPs-challenged rats. This suggested that accumulation of AOPPs promotes proteinuria, possibly via down-regulating the expression of PSD-associated proteins.

CKD is frequently diagnosed only after a significant progression. GFR is the most common indicator of kidney function but is limited in detecting early CKD cases and distinguishing glomerular, tubular, and global CKD. Aiming to provide a glomeruli specific biomarker assay, we developed a peptide immunoaffinity targeted mass spectrometry method for the quantitation of three podocyte specific proteins in human urine: nephrin, podocalyxin, and podocin.

Article Synopsis
- - Magnolol, a compound with anti-inflammatory properties, was studied for its ability to protect podocytes (key cells in the kidneys) from inflammation caused by high fructose consumption.
- - In experiments with rats and human podocyte cell lines, magnolol improved kidney function and reduced the inflammatory markers TNF-α and NICD1, indicating its protective effects against fructose-induced damage.
- - The study also examined how magnolol interacts with proteins involved in inflammation, showing that it affects the protein levels of TKFC, Sp1, and HDAC4, which play roles in the inflammatory response in podocytes.

NPHS1 and NPHS2 are kidney gene components that encode for nephrin and podocin, respectively. They play a role in the progression of congenital (CNS) and steroid-resistant (SRNS) nephrotic syndrome. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and renal outcomes of NPHS mutations among pediatric patients with CNS and SRNS.
