    Title translation Thrombotic microangiopathy.
    Abstract In the emergency room, patients with anemia and thrombocytopenia are common. Although these findings can often be explained by the medical situation, thrombotic microangiopathy is an important differential diagnosis. In this case, occlusion of the smallest vessels consequently leads to functional impairment of the affected organs. Patients generally present with symptoms of organ dysfunction, e.g., in the kidney or brain. Characteristically, Coombs-negative fragmentation of erythrocytes with hemolysis occurs in the area of the occluded vessels. Lactate dehydrogenase levels are elevated, and platelets and haptoglobin are reduced. Differential diagnoses beyond thrombotic microangiopathy that should be considered are numerous and diverse in their pathophysiology. Rapid workup is needed, because sometimes a specific treatment must be initiated rapidly. For example, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura leads to death in about 90% of patients if left untreated. However, by reconstitution of the underlying deficiency of the so-called ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) by plasma separation, survival can be ensured in most cases. Complement-mediated hemolytic uremic syndrome should also be considered and, if suspected, treated with complement inhibition. In many cases, however, thrombotic microangiopathy reflects a disorder elsewhere and may be a manifestation of severe hypertension or a coagulation disorder, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation or antiphospholipid syndrome. It can also be observed as a consequence of drug therapies or metabolic derangement. Systemic workup is therefore necessary for rapid clarification of differential diagnoses.

    Abstract Biological and biomedical research using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism has gained recognition through several Nobel prizes within the last 100 years. Drosophila exhibits several advantages when compared to other in vivo models such as mice and rats, as its life cycle is very short, animal maintenance is easy and inexpensive and a huge variety of transgenic strains and tools are publicly available. Moreover, more than 70% of human disease-causing genes are highly conserved in the fruit fly. Here, we explain the use of Drosophila in nephrology research and describe two kidney tissues, Malpighian tubules and the nephrocytes. The latter are the homologous cells to mammalian glomerular podocytes and helped to provide insights into a variety of signaling pathways due to the high morphological similarities and the conserved molecular make-up between nephrocytes and podocytes. In recent years, nephrocytes have also been used to study inter-organ communication as links between nephrocytes and the heart, the immune system and the muscles have been described. In addition, other tissues such as the eye and the reproductive system can be used to study the functional role of proteins being part of the kidney filtration barrier.

    Abstract The diagnosis of glomerular disease still mostly relies on the conventional histologic and immunohistochemical analysis of biopsies, thereby failing to provide a molecular disease understanding and stratification as the fundamental basis for an individualized therapy. It is out of the question that nephrology will be transformed into a field of systemic molecular precision diagnostics and individualized therapies. However, the time scale and efficiency of such transformation will depend on more studies exemplifying successful translational strategies. The highly heterogeneous glomerular disease entities of minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerular sclerosis seem ideally suited to exploring and ensuring the advancement of an individualized precision nephrology.

    Abstract Polat et al. report that mice with a podocyte-specific expression of a constitutively active Rac1 form displayed similar injury and albuminuria, regardless of transient receptor potential canonical 5 activity. This article confirms the pathogenic role of deregulated Rac1 and challenges models involving the role of transient receptor potential canonical 5 in podocytes. We learned from this study and propose a roadmap for this controversial field to help new drug candidates succeed in clinical trials and safely reach patients.

    Abstract Cisplatin nephrotoxicity is a critical limitation of solid cancer treatment. Until now, the complex interplay of various pathophysiological mechanisms leading to proximal tubular cell apoptosis after cisplatin exposure has not been fully understood. In our study, we assessed the role of the autophagy-related protein BECLIN1 (ATG6) in cisplatin-induced acute renal injury (AKI)-a candidate protein involved in autophagy and with putative impact on apoptosis by harboring a B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) interaction site of unknown significance. By using mice with heterozygous deletion of

    Abstract Podocytes are specialized epithelial cells of the kidney glomerulus and are an essential part of the filtration barrier. Because of their position, they are exposed to constant biomechanical forces such as shear stress and hydrostatic pressure. These forces increase during disease, resulting in podocyte injury. It is likely podocytes have adaptative responses to help buffer against deleterious mechanical force and thus reduce injury. However, these responses remain largely unknown. Here, using the Drosophila model, we show the mechanosensor Cheerio (dFilamin) provides a key protective role in nephrocytes. We found expression of an activated mechanosensitive variant of Cheerio rescued filtration function and induced compensatory and hypertrophic growth in nephrocytes depleted of the nephrocyte diaphragm proteins Sns or Duf. Delineating the protective pathway downstream of Cheerio we found repression of the Hippo pathway induces nephrocyte hypertrophy, whereas Hippo activation reversed the Cheerio-mediated hypertrophy. Furthermore, we find Yorkie was activated upon expression of active Cheerio. Taken together, our data suggest that Cheerio acts via the Hippo pathway to induce hypertrophic growth, as a protective response in abnormal nephrocytes.
