Formation of epithelial polarity on the fluorinated-oil microdroplet surface by regulating cell adhesion.

J Biosci Bioeng

January 2025

Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu University, 744 Motooka, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka 819-0395, Japan.

Polarized epithelial cells are compartmentalized into apical and basement membranes with asymmetrically distributed proteins. This study aimed to establish a method for culturing epithelial cells at the fluorinated oil (Novec-7500) microdroplet surface for the formation of epithelial polarity, which is desirable for regenerative medicine and drug discovery research. Microdroplet surfaces treated with fibronectin, which regulates a variety of cell behaviors through direct interactions with cell surface integrin receptors, were prepared for culturing epithelial cells.

Radiation-induced nephrotoxicity: Role of SMPDL3b.

Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys

December 2024

Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Miami, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center/ Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL, USA; Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Rochester, 601 Elmwood Ave. Box 647 Rochester, NY, USA. Electronic address:

Background: Radiation nephropathy (RN) can be a significant late complication after radiotherapy for abdominal and paraspinal tumors. The mechanisms for the development of RN are thought to involve disruption of podocyte function, leading to podocyte cell death and, finally, impaired renal function. This study investigated the mechanistic role of SMPDL3b in regulating podocyte injury and renal function after irradiation.
