Aims: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a leading cause of end-stage renal disease. BASP1 (brain acid-soluble protein) is up-regulated in podocyte-specific protein phosphatase 2A knockout mice (Pod-PP2A-KO) that develop kidney dysfunction. Here, we explore the role of BASP1 for podocytes in DN.

Methods: BASP1 was assessed in kidneys from DN patients and DN mouse models, podocyte specific BASP1 knockout mice (Pod-BASP1-KO mice) were generated and studied in vivo. Furthermore, podocyte injury and apoptosis were measured after BASP1 knockdown and overexpression in a mouse podocyte cell line (MPC5). Potential signalling pathways involved in podocyte apoptosis were detected.

Results: BASP1 expression was up-regulated in DN patients compared to normal controls. BASP1 specific deletion in podocytes protected against podocyte injury by reducing the loss of expression of slit diaphragm molecules and foot process effacement in the DN model. BASP1 promoted actin cytoskeleton rearrangements and apoptosis in the MPC5 podocyte line. Molecules involved in the p53 pathway were down-regulated in BASP1 knockdown podocytes treated with high glucose compared to controls. BASP1 promoted podocyte apoptosis and P53 pathway activation through co-repression with Wilms' tumour 1 transcription factor (WT1).

Conclusion: BASP1 activates the p53 pathway through modulation of WT1 to induce podocyte apoptosis in diabetic nephropathy.

Glomerulonephritis, also known as nephritis syndrome (nephritis for short), is a common kidney disease. Previous research has proved that microRNAs (miRNAs) frequently regulate various diseases including nephritis. Nonetheless, the biological function and molecular mechanism of miR-17-5p are unclear in nephritis. Read More

Axis formed by integrin β3 (ITGβ3)-Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA), and Yes-associated protein (YAP) plays an important role in atherosclerosis. In addition, ITGβ3 overexpression was noted in high-glucose (HG) exposure podocytes. However, the ITGβ3-RhoA-YAP axis on HG-induced podocyte injury remains unclear. Read More

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most serious long-term microvascular complication of diabetes, which mainly causes podocyte injury. Many studies have shown that microRNAs play a vital role in the development of DN. Studies have shown that miR-203-3p is involved in mesangial cell proliferation and apoptosis of DN mice. Read More

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) imposes a serious public health pandemic affecting the whole world, as it is spreading exponentially. Besides its high infectivity, SARS-CoV-2 causes multiple serious derangements, where the most prominent is severe acute respiratory syndrome as well as multiple organ dysfunction including heart and kidney injury. While the deleterious impact of SARS-CoV-2 on pulmonary and cardiac systems have attracted remarkable attention, the adverse effects of this virus on the renal system is still underestimated.

Astragaloside II (AS II), a novel saponin purified from Astragalus membranes, has been reported to modulate the immune response, repair tissue injury, and prevent inflammatory response. However, the protective effects of AS II on podocyte injury in diabetic nephropathy (DN) have not been investigated yet. In this study, we aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of AS II on podocyte injury and mitochondrial dysfunction in DN. Read More
