Journal ArticleDOI

The alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase knockout mouse. Implications for xenotransplantation.

TL;DR: These mice confirm the importance of the galactose alpha(1,3)-galactose epitope in human xenoreactivity and the logic of continuing efforts to generate pigs that lack this epitope as a source of donor organs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vascular endothelial growth factor is a survival factor for renal tubular epithelial cells.

TL;DR: Immunohistochemical staining using a variety of antibodies showed expression of both VEGF receptors in normal rat renal tubules in vivo, and data suggest that V EGF may act as a survival factor for renal tubular epithelium in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of the renal-specific Na+–K+–2Cl− co-transporter NKCC2 by AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)

TL;DR: A novel phosphorylation site is identified that maintains NKCC2-mediated transport under isotonic or basal conditions and the metabolic-sensing kinase, AMPK, is able to phosphorylate this site, potentially linking the cellular energy state with changes in co-transporter activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylation of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase by AMPK Reduces Renal Fibrosis and Is Essential for the Anti-Fibrotic Effect of Metformin

TL;DR: It is indicated that reduced phosphorylation of ACC after renal injury contributes to the development of TIF, and that phosphorylated of ACC is required for metformin's antifibrotic action in the kidney.
