Simultaneous assessment of glomerular filtration and barrier function in live zebrafish.
The zebrafish pronephros is a well-established model to study glomerular development, structure, and function. A few methods have been described to evaluate glomerular barrier function in zebrafish larvae so far. However, there is a need to assess glomerular filtration as well. In the present study, we extended the available methods by simultaneously measuring the intravascular clearances of Al...
متن کاملKnockdown of ApoL1 in Zebrafish Larvae Affects the Glomerular Filtration Barrier and the Expression of Nephrin
APOL1, a secreted high-density lipoprotein, is expressed in different human tissues. Genetic variants of APOL1 are described to be associated with the development of end stage renal diseases in African Americans. In human kidney, APOL1 is mainly expressed in podocytes that are responsible for proper blood filtration. Since mice do not express ApoL1, the zebrafish is an ideal model to study the ...
متن کاملImpairment in glomerular filtration rate or glomerular filtration barrier and occurrence of stroke.
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with substantial burden and is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, data on the relationship between CKD and stroke are few and are limited by unreliable or inadequate assessment of renal function. OBJECTIVE To properly assess the relationship between renal insufficiency and stroke in stroke survivors in the United Sta...
متن کاملThe Glomerular Filtration Barrier: Components and Crosstalk
The glomerular filtration barrier is a highly specialized blood filtration interface that displays a high conductance to small and midsized solutes in plasma but retains relative impermeability to macromolecules. Its integrity is maintained by physicochemical and signalling interplay among its three core constituents-the glomerular endothelial cell, the basement membrane and visceral epithelial...
متن کاملUtility of estimated glomerular filtration rate in live kidney donation.
Live kidney donation is considered safe; nevertheless, data supporting such claims are almost exclusively of white origin with very limited long-term outcomes in ethnic minority donors. This prospective observational study consisted of a total of 103 previous kidney donors (54 black and 49 white) with mean follow-up days of 743.5 +/- 603.9 for white and 845.1 +/- 668.5 for black donors. The bla...
