Imaging of podocyte foot processes by fluorescence microscopy.
Visualizing podocyte foot processes requires electron microscopy, a technique that depends on special equipment, requires immunogold for colabeling, and does not take advantage of the growing number of in vivo fluorophores available. To address these limitations, we developed a genetic strategy to allow detailed visualization of single podocytes and their foot processes by conventional fluoresc...
متن کاملGlomerular permeability regulation by the podocyte foot processes
Recent studies have emphasized the critical role of podocytes for the size-selective filtration barrier of the kidney and revealed novel aspects of the mechanisms leading to proteinuria, both in inherited and acquired diseases. It has been shown that a specialized cell junction, the slit diaphragm, connecting neighboring podocytes, is of critical importance to the development and the integrity ...
متن کاملAorta Fluorescence Imaging by Using Confocal Microscopy
The activated leukocyte attacked the vascular endothelium and the associated increase in VEcadherin number was observed in experiments. The confocal microscopic system with a prism-based wavelength filter was used for multiwavelength fluorescence measurement. Multiwavelength fluorescence imaging based on the VEcadherin within the aorta segment of a rat was achieved. The confocal microscopic sys...
متن کاملSpectral imaging fluorescence microscopy.
The spectral resolution of fluorescence microscope images in living cells is achieved by using a confocal laser scanning microscope equipped with grating optics. This capability of temporal and spectral resolution is especially useful for detecting spectral changes of a fluorescent dye; for example, those associated with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Using the spectral imaging ...
متن کاملRole of dynamin, synaptojanin, and endophilin in podocyte foot processes.
Podocytes are specialized cells that play an integral role in the renal glomerular filtration barrier via their foot processes. The foot processes form a highly organized structure, the disruption of which causes nephrotic syndrome. Interestingly, several similarities have been observed between mechanisms that govern podocyte organization and mechanisms that mediate neuronal synapse development...
