homeostasis/metabolism
• at day 14 of induced disease, creatinine levels continue to rise markedly in mutants (2.3 mg/dl) vs 0.86 mg/dl in wild-type
|
• nephritic mutants develop proteinuria faster than nephritic wild-type mice; increased proteinuria persists at day 14 of disease
|
renal/urinary system
• cultured mutant podocytes display earlier and greater levels of apoptosis induced by irradiation with uv-C, puromycin aminonucleoside treatment or anti-podocyte antibody, than wild-type cells
|
• a 4-fold increase in glomerular cell apoptosis is observed in mutant mice at day 7 after induction of nephritis
|
• nephritic mutants develop proteinuria faster than nephritic wild-type mice; increased proteinuria persists at day 14 of disease
|
• decreased podocyte numbers are observed in mutants at 14 days after induction of nephritis relative to wild-type controls
|
• extensive involvement of glomerulosclerosis (indicated by fibronectin accumulation) in mutant mice has occurred by day 14 of glomerulonephritis in mutants compared to wild-type
|
• upon induction of glomerular nephritis, mutants develop renal failure by day 7, similar to wild-type mice with induced disease
|
cellular
• cultured mutant podocytes display earlier and greater levels of apoptosis induced by irradiation with uv-C, puromycin aminonucleoside treatment or anti-podocyte antibody, than wild-type cells
|
• a 4-fold increase in glomerular cell apoptosis is observed in mutant mice at day 7 after induction of nephritis
