Abstract

Under certain circumstances, podocytes can be partially replaced following their loss in disease. The inability of podocytes to proliferate suggests that replacement derives from other cell types. Because neural/glial antigen 2 (NG2)-expressing cells can serve as progenitors in other organs and because herein we showed increased NG2 staining in podocytes following their loss in experimental focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, we used lineage tracing in NG2-CreER tdTomato mice to test the hypothesis that partial podocyte replacement might derive from this cell population. The percentage of glomeruli with red fluorescence protein (RFP)-labeled NG2 cells increased following podocyte depletion, which was augmented by enalapril. However, BrdU was not detected in RFP-labeled cells, consistent with the migration of these cells to the glomerulus. Within glomeruli, RFP-labeled cells did not coexpress podocyte proteins (p57, synaptopodin, nephrin, or podocin) but did coexpress markers for mesangial (α8 integrin, PDGFβ receptor) and parietal epithelial cells (PAX8, src-suppressed C-kinase substrate). These results suggest that following podocyte depletion, cells of NG2 lineage do not serve as adult podocyte progenitors but have the abilit...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
