Abstract

Abnormal activation of wnt/β-catenin signaling and renin-angiotensin system is known to play a vital role in the development and progression of CKD. We hypothesized that abnormal expression of central wnt/β-catenin signaling and renin-angiotensin system (WNT-RAS signaling) was tightly involved in CKD. We established sham-operated and 5/6 nephrectomized (5/6 NX) rat model and blocked the central wnt signaling by intracerebroventricular injection of adeno-associated virus vector which can overexpress target gene DKK1. The central and renal expression level of wnt/β-catenin signaling and RAS and renal injury were assessed. The expression levels of the main wnt/β-catenin signaling components in both brain and kidney of 5/6NX rats, such as wnt3a and active-β-catenin, were elevated obviously and the up-regulation were inhibited by central blockade of the wnt signaling. Furthermore, the expression of the major components of RAS in both brain and kidney in 5/6NX rats, such as angiotensinogen (AGT), angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE-1), angiotensin II AT1-receptor (AT1R), was significantly up-regulated and the up-regulated expression was inhibited by central blockade of the wnt singling. Notably, central blockade of the wnt signaling i...Continue Reading

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.
