Abstract

Our previous in vitro studies suggested that cyclin AMP (cAMP) signaling protects against podocyte injury. However, the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. The aim of the present study was to explore the role of forskolin, an agonist for adenylate cyclase, on ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) phosphorylation and chloride intracellular channel 5 (CLIC5) expressions in injured podocytes. ADR nephrosis model were induced by adriamycin (ADR) injection in BalB/C mice. Parts of ADR nephrosis mice were pretreated with forskolin. Albuminuria was estimated by urine Coomassie blue stain. Nephrin, synaptopodin, CLIC5, phosphorylated ERM and podocalyxin were measured by confocal microscopy. CLIC5 and phosphorylated ERM also were studied using western blotting. RhoA and Rac1 were estimated by G-Lisa kit. We found that forskolin partially alleviated albuminuria and width of foot processes. Nephrin, synaptopodin, phosphorylated-ERM (p-ERM) and CLIC5 expression were decreased in ADR mice, which were improved by forskolin pretreatment. In vitro studies, pretreatment of podocytes with pCPT-cAMP(PKA-selective cAMP analogue)prevented puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN)-induced CLIC5 downregulation. 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP (2Me-cAMP, an Epac-selective cAMP analo...Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.
