    Abstract Regulation of TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling in fibrogenesis is complex. Previous work by our lab suggests that ERK MAP kinase phosphorylates the linker region (LR) of Smad3 to enhance TGF-β-induced collagen-I accumulation. However the roles of the individual Smad3LR phosphorylation sites (T179, S204, S208 and S213) in the collagen-I response to TGF-β are not clear. To address this issue, we tested the ability of Smad3 constructs expressing wild-type Smad3 or Smad3 with mutated LR phosphorylation sites to reconstitute TGF-β-stimulated COL1A2 promoter activity in Smad3-null or -knockdown cells. Blocking ERK in fibroblasts and renal mesangial cells inhibited both S204 phosphorylation and Smad3-mediated COL1A2 promoter activity. Mutations replacing serine at S204 or S208 in the linker region decreased Smad3-mediated COL1A2 promoter activity, whereas mutating T179 enhanced basal COL1A2 promoter activity and did not prevent TGF-β stimulation. Interestingly, mutation of all four Smad3LR sites (T179, S204, S208 and S213) was not inhibitory, suggesting primacy of the two inhibitory sites. These results suggest that in these mesenchymal cells, phosphorylation of the T179 and possibly S213 sites may act as a brake on the signal, whereas S204 phosphorylation by ERK in some manner releases that brake. Renal epithelial cells (HKC) respond differently from MEF or mesangial cells; blocking ERK neither changed TGF-β-stimulated S204 phosphorylation nor prevented Smad3-mediated COL1A2 promoter activity in HKC. Furthermore, re-expression of wild type-Smad3 or the S204A-Smad3 mutant in Smad3-knockdown HKC reconstituted Smad3-mediated COL1A2 promoter activity. Collectively, these data suggest that Serine-204 phosphorylation in the Smad3LR is a critical event by which ERK enhances Smad3-mediated COL1A2 promoter activity in mesenchymal cells.

    Abstract Primary nephrotic syndrome encompasses the spectrum of minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and related disorders. It is a common cause of morbidity and, more rarely, of mortality in children. Recent progress has permitted us to better understand the mechanism of proteinuria and how it causes the other findings of nephrosis. Developments related to the pathogenesis of nephrosis and why some patients develop focal segmental glomerulosclerosis are less striking, but recent studies have indicated useful directions for subsequent work in these areas. Finally, application of newer concepts to treatment has provided both a better prognosis for these diseases and decreased morbidity from treatment.

    Abstract In glomerular health and disease, the balance between extracellular matrix (ECM) protein synthesis and degradation determines the amount of matrix that accumulates locally. While cell and whole animal regulation of ECM synthesis has been the subject of ongoing study, attention has become focused on proteases that degrade matrix components only recently. Two major ECM protease systems have been defined. The plasminogen activators (PAs) are serine proteases that have matrix-degrading capability and also activate plasminogen to plasmin. Plasmin not only degrades ECM proteins, but also may activate members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family which comprise the second major matrix-degrading system. Specific biological antagonists of both the PAs and the MMPs tightly regulate proteolysis by these enzymes. All of these enzymes and inhibitors have been detected in the kidney, and their expression may be altered to facilitate ECM accumulation in conditions associated with matrix expansion, such as glomerulosclerosis. Work is in progress to determine how these systems are regulated in the kidney and to further define their contribution to the sclerotic process.
