Dysregulated specificity proteins (SPs), members of the C2H2 zinc-finger family, are crucial transcription factors (TFs) with implications for renal physiology and diseases. This comprehensive review focuses on the role of SP family members, particularly SP1 and SP3, in renal physiology and pathology. A detailed analysis of their expression and cellular localization in the healthy human kidney is presented, highlighting their involvement in fatty acid metabolism, electrolyte regulation, and the synthesis of important molecules.

Aims: We aim to explore the potential of nicotinamide n-methyltransferase (NNMT) as a sensitive marker of renal tubular injury and the possibility of an NNMT inhibitor to combine with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor to protect proximal tubular epithelium in vivo and in vitro model of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), respectively.
Methods: In vivo, immunohistochemical staining, Masson's trichrome staining and Sirius red staining were used to observe the changes of NNMT expression, renal tubular injury and interstitial fibrosis in renal tissue from the db/db mice. Bioinformatic analysis was also conducted to broaden the range of data validation.

Background: In acute and chronic renal inflammatory diseases, the activation of inflammatory cells is involved in the defect of erythropoietin (EPO) production. Ras guanine nucleotide-releasing protein-4 (RasGRP4) promotes renal inflammatory injury in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of RasGRP4 in the production of renal EPO in diabetes.

Renal fibrosis is a common pathway involved in the progression of various chronic kidney diseases to end-stage renal disease. Recent studies show that mitochondrial injury of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) is a crucial pathological foundation for renal fibrosis. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear.

Objectives: BK virus (BKV) is highly seroprevalent in humans. After primary infection, it remains latent in the urinary tract and can reactivate in immunocompromised individuals, leading to interstitial nephropathy or hemorrhagic cystitis. The BKV viral load (VL) in plasma correlates with the occurrence of nephropathy and can be monitored in kidney graft recipients; the early detection of BKV viremia can enable an early reduction of immunosuppressant drug doses and the prevention of BKV-associated nephropathy.
