Phospholipase A2 receptor 1 (PLA2R1) exists in many animals and plays an important role in membranous nephropathy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate a PLA2R1 knock-in rat model with repaired kidney function to study the molecular mechanisms of membranous nephropathy. We constructed the PLA2R1 knockout [PLA2R1(-)] model and PLA2R1 knock in [PLA2R1(+)] model in rats.

To enhance kidney transplant outcomes, we must lessen the burden of recurrence. In recent years, there has been progress in understanding the incidence, risk factors for recurrence, pathophysiology, biomarkers, and therapeutics, making it worthwhile to conduct an update on primary glomerulonephritis that may recur following kidney transplantation.

In this study, we evaluate a PLA2R1 in a middle-aged rat model of renal function repair to further investigate the molecular mechanisms of membranous nephropathy. We analyzed the PLA2R1 knockout (KO) model and PLA2R1 knock in (KI) model in rats, extending the time to 85 weeks of age.

Background: The p.Arg218Gln (R218Q) mutation in the inverted formin 2 (INF2) gene causes podocytopathy prone to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). This mutation disrupts the ability of INF2 to sequester DYNLL1, thus promoting dynein-mediated mistrafficking of the slit diaphragm protein, nephrin, to proteolytic pathways.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) presents a significant public health challenge due to its high rate of incidence and severe health consequences. Renalase has been identified as having renal-protective properties. A key contributor to albuminuria in DN patients is podocyte loss.
