Toxicoepigenetic alteration of the kidney injury molecule 1 gene in gentamicin-exposed rat kidney.
Chromatin modifications are now widely accepted as being essential steps involved in activation, repression, and poising of the expression of a large number of genes within the genome. Not only does understanding the role of such changes provide an opportunity to elucidate mechanisms controlling gene expression but in parallel offers the ability to develop novel indicative and predictive biomar...
متن کاملKidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1): a novel kidney-specific injury molecule playing potential double-edged functions in kidney injury.
Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), a recently discovered transmembrane protein, is expressed in dedifferentiated proximal renal tubular epithelial cells in damaged regions. It may participate in the progress of renal injury or repair. Many studies have illustrated the different functions of KIM-1 in various renal diseases including protective functions in acute kidney injury and damaging functio...
متن کاملKidney injury molecule-1 expression in murine polycystic kidney disease.
Kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1) is a type 1 membrane protein maximally upregulated in proliferating and dedifferentiated tubular cells after renal ischemia. Because epithelial dedifferentiation, proliferation, and local ischemia may play a role in the pathophysiology of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, we investigated Kim-1 expression in a mouse model of this disease. In the Pkd2(...
متن کاملKidney injury molecule-1 and microalbuminuria levels in Zambian population: biomarkers of kidney injury
INTRODUCTION Kidney injury affects renal excretion of plasma analytes and metabolic waste products with grave pathologic consequences. Early detection, thus of kidney injury is essential for injury specific intervention that may avert permanent renal damage and delay progression of kidney injury. We aimed to evaluate Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) and Microalbuminuria (MAU), as biomarkers of ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Value of Urinary Kidney Injury Molecule 1 for Acute Kidney Injury: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND Urinary Kidney Injury Molecule 1 (KIM-1) is a proximal tubular injury biomarker for early detection of acute kidney injury (AKI), with variable performance characteristics depending on clinical and population settings. METHODS Meta-analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic value of urinary KIM-1 in AKI. Relevant studies were searched from MEDLINE, EMBASE, Pubmed, Elsevier Sci...
