    Abstract Virtually all of the dietary potassium intake is absorbed in the intestine, over 90% of which is excreted by the kidneys regarded as the most important organ of potassium excretion in the body. The renal excretion of potassium results primarily from the secretion of potassium by the principal cells in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN), which is coupled to the reabsorption of Na

    Abstract Background: Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease. The hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI) is a new class of oral drugs for the treatment of renal anemia. Summary: Clinical trials have consistently shown that HIF-PHIs can effectively increase hemoglobin in both the dialysis population and the nondialysis population. The effects of HIF-PHIs in treating renal anemia include promoting endogenous erythropoietin production and facilitating iron mobilization. Several studies suggest that the erythropoiesis effect of roxadustat is less affected by inflammation. Careful monitoring of thromboembolic events and tumor before and during HIF-PHI treatment is necessary. Key Messages: HIF-PHIs are effective in correcting renal anemia. The long-term safety of HIF-PHIs needs to be further studied.

    Abstract Background: Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a histologic pattern characterized by focal glomerular scarring, which often progresses to systemic and diffuse glomerulosclerosis. Previous studies have emphasized that the initiation of classic FSGS occurs in podocytes. The dysfunction and loss of podocytes have been associated with the development of proteinuria and the progression of various diseases. In addition, primary, secondary, and genetic FSGS are caused by different mechanisms of podocyte injury. Summary: The potential sources and mechanism of podocyte supplementation are the focus of our current research. Increasing attention has been paid to the role played by parietal epithelial cells (PECs) during the progression of FSGS. PECs are not only the primary influencing factors in glomerulosclerosis lesions but also have repair abilities, which remain a focus of debate. Notably, other resident glomerular cells also play significant roles in the progression of this disease. Key Message: In this review, we focus on the mechanism of scarring in FSGS and discuss current and potential therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major microvascular complication of diabetes and the leading cause of mortality in diabetic patients. Cyclooxygenase (COX) and COX-derived prostanoids are documented to participate in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Herein, we found an increased COX2 expression level in diabetic kidneys of STZ-induced DBA mice. The COX2 inhibitor significantly attenuated albuminuria and histological lesions, accompanied by up-regulation of the renal angiopoietin-1/tie-2 system. This finding is consistent with the presence of an angiogenic signature in endothelial cells during the development of DN. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is the most abundant prostanoid in the kidney, and its receptor EP4 is expressed in the glomerulus, as determined by in situ hybridization. To test the hypothesis that diabetes-associated COX2 overexpression induces renal PGE2 production and endothelial dysfunction by activating glomerular EP4 receptors, the effect of an EP4 antagonist on Akita/DBA mice was investigated. Our results showed that blockade of EP4 receptor significantly reduced albuminuria in diabetic mice. Owing to the established adverse effect of COX2 inhibitors, our study provided new insight into meaningful renal benefits for diabetic nephropathy by targeting the EP4 receptor.

    Abstract The employment of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) becomes a hot topic in recent years. Compared with traditional glucose-lowering drugs, SGLT-2 inhibitors present distinctive advantages in renal and cardiovascular protection. The mechanisms for renal protection include attenuating glomerular hyperfiltration, lowering serum uric acid, alleviating tubular lesions and regulating intrarenal renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) dysfunction. In addition, the lowering blood pressure, blunting blood glucose fluctuation, increasing insulin sensitivity, optimizing energy metabolism and body fat distribution account for the cardiovascular protective effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors. However, their potential adverse reactions and safety concerns should be carefully addressed in clinical usage.

    Abstract Aim: Tenascin-C (TNC), a non-structural extracellular matrix glycoprotein, is transiently expressed during development or after injury, playing an important role in injury and repair process. The potential role of TNC in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) remains to be clarified.
    Methods: Immunohistochemistry staining for TNC was conducted on paraffin-embedded slices from renal biopsies of 107 IgAN patients, and correlation analysis was made between mesangial TNC expression and clinic-pathological parameters. In situ hybridization for TNC mRNA was further performed to figure out the cells that express TNC within glomeruli. In vitro experiments were also carried out on mouse mesangial cells (SV40 MES13) to elucidate the effect of TNC on mesangial cells.
    Results: TNC was expressed in the mesangial area of IgAN, as well as in fibrotic regions. Correlation analysis showed that higher mesangial TNC was associated with higher level of proteinuria, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate and more serious pathological lesions (MEST score). In situ hybridization revealed that abundant TNC mRNA expression was observed in the affected glomeruli of IgAN, but not in minimal change disease. Moreover, TNC mRNA co-localized with PDGFRβ mRNA, but not with PODXL mRNA, suggesting that TNC mRNA was expressed in the mesangial cells within glomeruli in IgAN. In vitro experiments showed that exogenous TNC promoted matrix protein production and mesangial cell proliferation, which was attenuated by an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor.
    Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest that mesangial cell-derived TNC contributes to mesangial matrix expansion and mesangial cell proliferation, which is a potential therapeutic target in IgAN.
