How can you use “podocytes” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
cultured the podocytes and performed the northern blotting.
Infection of cultured podocytes with replication incompetent HIV-1 demonstrated that HIV-1 gene expression leads to the proliferation and dedifferentiation of the infected podocytes [ 6 7 8 ] , recapitulating the phenotypes observed in HIVAN specimens [ 9 10 ] . Similarly, renal expression of replication incompetent HIV-1 proviral transgenes in mice and rats produces a proliferative renal lesion that is indistiguisable both histopathologically and clinically from human HIVAN [ 11 12 13 14 ] . These observations raise the possibility that HIV-1 gene products may interact with mitogenic pathways in infected renal epithelium to cause aberrant cell-cycle engagement.
Although HIV-1 infected podocytes showed some decrease in cyclin D 1 message by the end of the differentiation period, cyclin D 1 protein levels remained elevated, suggesting activation by HIV-1 of mechanisms that stabilize cyclin D 1 protein levels.
protocol to study subconfluent podocyte growth and podocyte growth during establishment of mature cell-cell contacts between differentiated podocytes [ 27 28 ] . Briefly, RNA and protein were extracted from parallel plates of podocytes using TRIZOL Reagent or RIPA buffer, respectively, under three conditions: 1) during sub-confluent growth at 33°C; 2) immediately upon reaching confluency (day zero); and 3) on day 14 after switching confluent cultures to 37°C.
In order to determine if cyclin D 1 plays a role in this hyperplasia, kidneys from three proteinuric 40-day old transgenic siblings and three non-transgenic littermates were stained by immunohistochemistry with antibody to phospho-pRb (Ser780), a site of cyclin D 1 /CDK-4/6 phosphorylation not targeted by cyclin E/CDK-2 complexes that disrupts pRb/E2F binding for G 1 → S progression [ 24 ] . Figure 1depicts the intense, heterogeneous nuclear staining of glomerular podocytes and tubular epithelium from hyperplastic nephrons in the diseased transgenics versus the absent staining of nephrons in the non-transgenics consistent with the very low mitotic index in normal kidneys of adult animals [ 26 ] . This suggests that cyclin D 1 is promoting cell-cycle progression during the proliferation of epithelium in diseased kidneys.
