Chapter
Extracellular Vesicle Biomarkers for Renal Diseases
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as a new mechanism of intercellular communication in renal disease. EVs originating from the renal system can be readily detected in urine and may therefore represent ...

Open AccessTubular epithelial cells-derived small extracellular vesicle-VEGF-A promotes peritubular capillary repair in ischemic kidney injury
Peritubular capillaries (PTCs) are closely related to renal tubules in structure and function, and both are pivotal regulators in the development and progression of acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the mech...

FIH-1-modulated HIF-1α C-TAD promotes acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease progression via regulating KLF5 signaling
Incomplete recovery from episodes of acute kidney injury (AKI) can predispose patients to develop chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a master regulator of the respon...

Open AccessUrinary small extracellular vesicles derived CCL21 mRNA as biomarker linked with pathogenesis for diabetic nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a leading cause of renal failure, whereas the effective and early diagnostic biomarkers are still lacking.

Open AccessBioinformatics-based discovery of the urinary BBOX1 mRNA as a potential biomarker of diabetic kidney disease
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the world. Emerging evidence has shown that urinary mRNAs may serve as early diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of DKD...

CCN3 suppresses TGF-β1-induced extracellular matrix accumulation in human mesangial cells in vitro
Glomerular sclerosis is characterized by mesangial cell proliferation and progressive extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation. CCN3 belongs to the CCN family of matrix proteins; increasing evidence suggests th...

Involvement of endoplasmic reticulum stress in angiotensin II-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in human renal proximal tubular cells in vitro
NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in renal injury and may be a therapeutic target in the treatment of patients with progressive chronic kidney disease. In this study we investigated whether angiotensi...

FTY720 inhibits tubulointerstitial inflammation in albumin overload-induced nephropathy of rats via the Sphk1 pathway
FTY720, a new immunomodulatory drug with low cytotoxicity, is currently used to treat multiple sclerosis. In this study, we investigated the effects of FTY720 on inflammatory cell infiltration in albumin overl...

Enalapril inhibits tubulointerstitial inflammation and NLRP3 inflammasome expression in BSA-overload nephropathy of rats
Proteinuria is not only a common marker of renal disease, but also involved in renal tubulointerstitial inflammation and fibrosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms underlying the protect...
