- 17 October 2017
Mitochondrial dysfunction has important roles in the pathogenesis of AKI, yet therapeutic approaches to improve mitochondrial function remain limited. In this study, we investigated the pathogenic… Expand
Mitochondrial dysfunction confers albumin-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and renal tubular injury.
- Yibo Zhuang, Marchella Yasinta, +9 authors A. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physiology. Renal physiology
- 15 April 2015
Proteinuria is involved in the development of tubular lesions and in the progressive loss of renal function in chronic kidney diseases via uncertain mechanisms. Growing evidence suggests a pathogenic… Expand
Dysfunction of the PGC-1α-mitochondria axis confers adriamycin-induced podocyte injury.

- 15 June 2014
Adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy in animals is an experimental analog of human focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, which presents as severe podocyte injury and massive proteinuria and has a… Expand
MicroRNA-214 promotes chronic kidney disease by disrupting mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
Mitochondria are critical in determining a cell's energy homeostasis and fate, and mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We sought to… Expand
MicroRNA-30e targets BNIP3L to protect against aldosterone-induced podocyte apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction.
- Y. Guo, Xu Deng, +8 authors A. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physiology. Renal physiology
- 1 April 2017
MicroRNAs are essential for the maintenance of podocyte homeostasis. Emerging evidence has demonstrated a protective role of microRNA-30a (miR-30a), a member of the miR-30 family, in podocyte injury.… Expand

- Yibo Zhuang, Q. Feng, +6 authors Songming Huang
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physiology. Renal physiology
- 15 August 2014
Hyperuricemia is associated with kidney complications including glomerulosclerosis and mesangial cell (MC) proliferation by poorly understood mechanisms. The present study investigated the underlying… Expand
NLRP3 inflammasome activation contributes to aldosterone-induced podocyte injury.
- Mi Bai, Y. Chen, +5 authors A. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physiology. Renal physiology
- 1 April 2017
Aldosterone (Aldo) has been shown as an important contributor of podocyte injury. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are still elusive. Recently, the pathogenic role of NOD-like receptor… Expand
Angiotensin II Stimulates the NLRP3 Inflammasome to Induce Podocyte Injury and Mitochondrial Dysfunction
Background: We previously reported that the NLRP3 inflammasome played an important role in mediating the podocyte injury induced by aldosterone. However, more studies on the role of the NLRP3… Expand
Reactive oxygen species-initiated autophagy opposes aldosterone-induced podocyte injury.
- Mi Bai, Ruochen Che, +6 authors A. Zhang
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of physiology. Renal physiology
- 1 April 2016
Evidence has demonstrated that aldosterone (Aldo) is involved in the development and progression of chronic kidney diseases. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of autophagy… Expand
