Disruption of APOL1-miR193a Axis Induces Disorganization of Podocyte Actin Cytoskeleton.
Vinod Kumar,Nitpriya Paliwal,Kamesh Ayasolla,Himanshu Vashistha,Alok Jha,Nirupama Chandel,Sheetal Chowdhary,Moin A. Saleem,Ashwani Malhotra,Praveen N. Chander,Karl Skorecki,Pravin C. Singhal +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that D PDG1s and DPDG2s developed disorganized actin cytoskeleton as a consequence of disrupted APOL1-miR193a axis, and docking and co-labeling studies suggested an interaction between AP OL1 and CD2AP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alterations in plasma membrane ion channel structures stimulate NLRP3 inflammasome activation in APOL1 risk milieu
Alok Jha,Vinod Kumar,Shabirul Haque,Kamesh Ayasolla,Shourav Saha,Xiqian Lan,Ashwani Malhotra,Moin A. Saleem,Karl Skorecki,Pravin C. Singhal +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of K+ efflux in the activation of inflammasomes in APOL1 risk and non-risk milieus was investigated, where alterations in the structural configurations of channels and activation of nucleotide-binding domain were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disrupted apolipoprotein L1-miR193a axis dedifferentiates podocytes through autophagy blockade in an APOL1 risk milieu
Vinod Kumar,Kamesh Ayasolla,Alok Jha,Abheepsa Mishra,Himanshu Vashistha,Xiqian Lan,Maleeha Qayyum,Sushma Chinnapaka,Richa Purohit,Joanna Mikulak,Moin A. Saleem,Ashwani Malhotra,Karl Skorecki,Pravin C. Singhal +13 more
TL;DR: Docking, protein-protein interaction, and immunoprecipitation studies with anti-autophagy related gene (ATG) 14L, anti-UV radiation resistance-associated gene (UVRAG), or Rubicon antibodies suggested the formation of ATG14L complex I and UVRAG complex II in G0- podocytes and theformation of Rubicon complex III in G1- and G2-podocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
EDA2R mediates podocyte injury in high glucose milieu
Xiqian Lan,Vinod Kumar,Alok Jha,Rukhsana Aslam,Haichao Wang,Kehong Chen,Yueming Yu,Weimei He,Feilan Chen,Huairong Luo,Ashwani Malhotra,Pravin C. Singhal +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that high glucose increases EDA2R expression in kidney cells and that Eda2R induces podocyte apoptosis and dedifferentiation in high glucose milieu partially through enhanced ROS generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
MiR193a Modulation and Podocyte Phenotype
Alok Jha,Shourav Saha,Kamesh Ayasolla,Himanshu Vashistha,Ashwani Malhotra,Karl Skorecki,Pravin C. Singhal +6 more
TL;DR: Interactions between miR193a and YY1/WT1/Sox2/VDR/APOL1 3′ UTR region and transcription factors and their effects on podocytes’ molecular phenotype suggest that down-regulation of miR 193a could be used to enhance the expression of podocyte differentiating markers as a therapeutic strategy.
