    Abstract Purpose of review: Earlier works of the glomerulogenesis described morphological steps and protein expression during in-vivo and in-vitro kidney development. Recent technologies using cell-specific or conditional knock-out mice for several factors provide important knowledge about cross-talk signaling among resident cells as local events. Based on the recent advancement, this review revisits comprehensive morphological development of the glomerulus.
    Recent findings: Interactions of presumptive podocyte vascular endothelial growth factor with vascular endothelial growth factor-2 on angioblasts initiate glomerular vascularization. In induced pluripotent stem cells or organoid-derived nephron formation, the lack of endothelium and mesangial cells under differentiated podocytes suggests the presence of another unknown mechanism for glomerular neovascularization. Mesangial cell migration is prerequisite for glomerular looping by interaction of endothelial platelet-derived grothe factor beta and mesangial platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta and requires the coreceptor neuropilin1. Development of the filtration barrier is promoted by cross-talk among resident cells and may need shear stress. The components of the glomerular basement membrane change during glomerulogenesis, and endothelium and podocytes produce laminin and type IV collagen α1 and α2, whereas type IV collagen α3, α4, α5 is derived only from podocytes.
    Summary: Glomerulogenesis progresses by dynamic cellular migration/differentiation induced by cross-talk signaling in resident cells. Glomerular vasculogenesis and subsequent capillary development provide insight into glomerular regeneration and remodeling for medical application.

    Abstract Podocytes maintain the glomerular filtration barrier, and the stability of this barrier depends on their highly differentiated postmitotic phenotype, which also defines the particular vulnerability of the glomerulus. Recent podocyte biology and gene disruption studies in vivo indicate a causal relationship between abnormalities of single podocyte molecules and proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis. Podocytes live under various stresses and pathological stimuli. They adapt to maintain homeostasis, but excessive stress leads to maladaptation with complex biological changes including loss of integrity and dysregulation of cellular metabolism. Podocyte injury causes proteinuria and detachment from the glomerular basement membrane. In addition to "sick" podocytes and their detachment, our understanding of glomerular responses following podocyte loss needs to address the pathways from podocyte injury to sclerosis. Studies have found a variety of glomerular responses to podocyte dysfunction in vivo, such as disruption of podocyte-endothelial cross talk and activation of podocyte-parietal cell interactions, all of which help us to understand the complex scenario of podocyte injury and its consequences. This review focuses on the cellular aspects of podocyte dysfunction and the adaptive or maladaptive glomerular responses to podocyte injury that lead to its major consequence, glomerulosclerosis.

    Abstract Podocyte injury and subsequent detachment are hallmarks of progressive glomerulosclerosis. In addition to cell injury, unknown mechanical forces on the injured podocyte may promote detachment. To identify the nature of these mechanical forces, we studied the dynamics of podocyte detachment using sequential ultrastructural geometry analysis by transmission electron microscopy in NEP25, a mouse model of podocytopathy induced by anti-Tac(Fv)-PE38 (LMB2), a fusion protein attached to Pseudomonas exotoxin A, targeting CD25 on podocytes. After LMB2 injection, foot process effacement occurred on day three but detachment commenced on day eight and extended to day ten, reaching toward the urinary pole in clusters. Podocyte detachment was associated with foot process effacement covering over 60% of the glomerular basement membrane length. However, approximately 25% of glomeruli with diffuse (over 80%) foot process effacement showed no detachment. Blocking glomerular filtration via unilateral ureteral obstruction resulted in diffuse foot process effacement but no pseudocysts or detachment, whereas uninephrectomy increased pseudocysts and accelerated detachment, indicating that glomerular filtrate drives podocyte detachment via pseudocyst formation as a forerunner. Additionally, more detachment was observed in juxtamedullary glomeruli than in superficial glomeruli. Thus, glomerular filtrate drives the dynamics of podocyte detachment in this model of podocytopathy. Hence, foot process effacement may be a prerequisite allowing filtrate to generate local mechanical forces that expand the subpodocyte space forming pseudocysts, promote podocyte detachment and subsequent segmental sclerosis.

    Abstract The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) maintains an oxidative redox environment that is advantageous for the oxidative folding of nascent polypeptides entering the ER. Reductive reactions within the ER are also crucial for maintaining ER homeostasis. However, the mechanism by which electrons are supplied for the reductase activity within the ER remains unknown. Here, we identify ER oxidoreductin-1α (Ero1α) as an electron donor for ERdj5, an ER-resident disulfide reductase. During oxidative folding, Ero1α catalyzes disulfide formation in nascent polypeptides through protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and then transfers the electrons to molecular oxygen via flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), ultimately yielding hydrogen peroxide (H

    Abstract The microbial community is viewed as a network of diverse microorganisms connected by various interspecific interactions. While the stress gradient hypothesis (SGH) predicts that positive interactions are favored in more stressful environments, the prediction has been less explored in complex microbial communities due to the challenges of identifying interactions. Here, by applying a nonlinear time series analysis to the amplicon-based diversity time series data of the soil microbiota cultured under less stressful (30°C) or more stressful (37°C) temperature conditions, we show how the microbial network responds to temperature stress. While the genera that persisted only under the less stressful condition showed fewer positive effects, the genera that appeared only under the more stressful condition received more positive effects, in agreement with SGH. However, temperature difference also induced reconstruction of the community network, leading to an increased proportion of negative interactions at the whole-community level. The anti-SGH pattern can be explained by the stronger competition caused by increased metabolic rate and population densities.

    Abstract Inhibition of caspase-3 (Casp3) reduces ureteric branching in organ culture but the mechanism remains unclear. Since Casp3 has non-apoptotic functions, we examined whether Casp3 regulates ureteric branching by promoting cell migration, using a ureteric bud (UB) cell line and Casp3-deficient (Casp3-/-) mice. Also, we examined whether Casp3 plays a role in the reduced ureteric branching of metanephroi from nutrient restricted mothers, in which Casp3 activity is suppressed. A Casp3 inhibitor Ac-DNLD-CHO reduced FGF2-induced cord formation of UB cells in 3D culture. UB cell migration assessed by Boyden chamber and wound healing assays was inhibited by Ac-DNLD-CHO. Glomerular number was reduced by ≈ 30%, and ureteric tip number was lower in Casp3-/- mice compared with controls. Maternal nutrient restriction decreased ureteric tip number in controls but not in Casp3-/-. In conclusion, Casp3 regulates ureteric branching by promoting UB cell migration. Inhibited ureteric branching by maternal nutrient restriction may be mediated by Casp3.
