Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical clinical condition that causes fibrosis, and it currently lacks specific treatment options. In this research, we investigate the role of SENP1-Sirt3 signaling pathway its correlation with mitochondrial dysfunction in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) using folic acid (FA) ischemia-reperfusion-induced (IRI) AKI models. Our findings reveal Sirt3 SUMOylation site mutation (Sirt3 KR) or pharmacological stimulation (metformin) protected mice against...

Abstract Glomerulonephritis is the one of major causes end‐stage kidney disease, whereas pathological process glomerulonephritis still not completely understood. Single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) emerges to be a powerful tool evaluate full heterogeneity diseases. To reveal cellular gene expression profiles glomerulonephritis, we performed scRNA‐seq 2 human transplantation donor samples, 4 1 malignant hypertension (MH) sample and chronic interstitial nephritis (CIN) sample, all tissues...

Abstract Background Until now, there has been no particularly effective treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Fibrosis is a common pathological change that exist in CKD. Methods To better understand the transcriptional dynamics fibrotic kidney, we make use of single-nucleus assay transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (snATAC-seq) and single-cell RNA (scRNA-seq) from GEO datasets perform scRNA-seq human biopsy to seek possible transcription factors (TFs) regulating target genes...

Although retinal bipolar cells represent a morphologically well defined population of interneurons, very little is known about the developmental mechanisms that regulate their processing. Furthermore, identity specific cell types function in distinct visual circuits remains poorly understood. Here, we show homeobox gene Vsx1 expressed Type 7 ON cells. In absence Vsx1, exhibit proper morphological specification but defects terminal expression. required for repression cell-specific markers,...

Abstract Transferrin receptor (TFR) is an important iron transporter regulating homeostasis and has long been used as a marker for clathrin mediated endocytosis. However, little known about its additional function other than transport in the development of central nervous system (CNS). Here we demonstrate that TFR functions regulator to control AMPA trafficking efficiency synaptic plasticity. The conditional knockout (KO) neural progenitor cells causes mice develop progressive epileptic...

Interneuronal subtype diversity lies at the heart of distinct molecular properties and synaptic connections that shape formation neuronal circuits are necessary for complex spatial temporal processing sensory information. Here, we investigate role Irx6, a member Iroquois homeodomain transcription factor family, in regulating development retinal bipolar interneurons. Using knock-in reporter approach, show that, mouse retina, Irx6 is expressed type 2 3a OFF interneurons required expression...

Abstract Purpose We investigated the role of farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a ligand‐dependent transcription factor, in renal ischaemia‐reperfusion (I/R) injury. Materials and Methods performed unilateral I/R model FXR knockout ( Fxr −/− ) wild‐type (WT) mice vivo hypoxia‐reoxygenation (H/R) vitro. The pathways by which induces apoptosis were detected using proteome profiler array. effects on evaluated immunoblotting, TUNEL assays flow cytometry. Results Compared with WT mice, showed improved...

Noninvasively predicting kidney tubulointerstitial fibrosis is important because it's closely correlated with the development and prognosis of chronic disease (CKD). Most studies shear wave elastography (SWE) in CKD were limited to non-linear statistical dependencies didn't fully consider variables' interactions. Therefore, support vector machine (SVM) learning was used assess prediction value SWE traditional ultrasound techniques fibrosis.We consecutively recruited 117 patients biopsy. SWE,...

Kidney ischemia and reperfusion injury could cause microvascular barrier dysfunction, lung inflammatory cascades activation, programmed cell death of pulmonary endothelium, leading to acute injury. Our study aimed at determining whether erythropoietin (EPO) can ameliorate dysfunction following renal (IR) explored the underlying mechanisms. In vivo, C57BL/6 mice received EPO (6000 U/kg) before right vascular pedicles clamping for 30 minutes, followed by 24 hours reperfusion. The...

Abstract The Pierre Robin Sequence (PRS), consisting of cleft palate, glossoptosis and micrognathia, is a common human birth defect. However, how this abnormality occurs remains largely unknown. Here we report that neural crest cell (NCC)-specific knockout transferrin receptor (Tfrc), well known transporter protein, caused severe respiratory distress inability to suckle in mice, which highly resemble PRS. Histological anatomical analysis revealed the palate due failure palatal shelves...
