Another conundrum to concentrate on?
IN THE MID-1980S, THE PIONEERING work of Mario R. Capecchi, Sir Martin J. Evans, and Oliver Smithies (jointly awarded The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2007) led to the development of gene knockout mice (e.g., Refs. 8 and 13). The use of gene knockout and transgenic mouse models has added essential information to our understanding of renal physiology, including the molecular mechanisms ...
متن کاملAltered expression of renal aquaporins and Na(+) transporters in rats treated with L-type calcium blocker.
Nifedipine, a calcium antagonist, has diuretic and natriuretic properties. However, the molecular mechanisms by which these effects are produced are poorly understood. We examined kidney abundance of aquaporins (AQP1, AQP2, and AQP3) and major sodium transporters [type 3 Na/H exchanger (NHE-3); type 2 Na-Pi cotransporter (NaPi-2); Na-K-ATPase; type 1 bumetanide-sensitive cotransporter (BSC-1); ...
متن کاملUrinary concentrating defect in hypothyroid rats: role of sodium, potassium, 2-chloride co-transporter, and aquaporins.
Hypothyroidism is associated with impaired urinary concentrating ability in humans and animals. The purpose of this study was to examine protein expression of renal sodium chloride and urea transporters and aquaporins in hypothyroid rats (HT) with diminished urinary concentration as compared with euthyroid controls (CTL) and hypothyroid rats replaced with L-thyroxine (HT+T). Hypothyroidism was ...
متن کاملBreviscapine prevents downregulation of renal water and sodium transport proteins in response to unilateral ureteral obstruction
Objective(s):Our recent report indicates that breviscapine play a protective role of the kidney by down-regulating transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and alleviating interstitial fibrosis following unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). In this study, we investigate the effect of breviscapine on changes of renal water and sodium transport proteins in response t...
متن کاملSaccharomyces cerivisiae as a model system for kidney disease: what can yeast tell us about renal function?
Ion channels, solute transporters, aquaporins, and factors required for signal transduction are vital for kidney function. Because mutations in these proteins or in associated regulatory factors can lead to disease, an investigation into their biogenesis, activities, and interplay with other proteins is essential. To this end, the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, represents a powerful experimen...
