Abstract:
Objective To dynamically observe the expression of slit diaphragm complex molecules, including nephrin, podocin, CD2AP, and cytoskeleton protein a-actinin-4, in adriamycin-induced nephrotic (ADN) rats, and to further explore the molecular behavior of podocyte proteins during the occurrence and development of proteinuria and their possible mechanisms. Methods Adriamycin nephropathy was induced by a single tail intravenous injection of adriamycin. Renal tissue samples were collected at day 3, 7, 14, and 28, respectively. The distribution, mRNA expression and protein expression of nephrin, podocin, CD2AP and a-actinin-4 were examined by indirect immunofluorescence, real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Results (1) After the adriamycin injection, a significant increment of the 24-hour urinary protein was observed at day 14 and persisted up to day 28 (P
