New roles of Bicc1 in cilia formation, cell adhesion, and in adult kidneys.

Bicaudal-C1 (Bicc1), an RNA-Binding protein, is a ciliopathy-associated protein. In development, Bicc1 is necessary for left-right axis specification. Loss of Bicc1 in mice also associates with polycystic kidney development. In human, two hereditary polycy ...

Optical Urea Sensing in Sweat for Kidney Healthcare by Sensitive and Selective Non-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Christian Enz, Sandro Carrara, Assim Boukhayma, Ata Jedari Golparvar, Mattia Petrelli

Sweat biomarker analysis has attracted much interest in applications ranging from sports to wearable healthcare. Among all the sweat biomolecules, abnormal urea levels have been linked to several complications, particularly renal dysfunction. Here, we repo ...

Role of the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C1 and interacting factors in cystic kidney diseases

Daniel Constam, Benjamin Marcel Daniel Rothé, Céline Gagnieux, Lucía Carolina Leal Esteban

Polycystic kidneys frequently associate with mutations in individual components of cilia, basal bodies or centriolar satellites that perturb complex protein networks. In this review, we focus on the RNA-binding protein Bicaudal-C1 (BICC1) which was found m ...

Renal tubular arginase-2 participates in the formation of the corticomedullary urea gradient and attenuates kidney damage in ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice

Dmitri Firsov, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Jean-Luc Barras, Nicolas Dattner

Aim Arginase 2 (ARG2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyses hydrolysis ofl-arginine into urea andl-ornithine. In the kidney, ARG2 is localized to the S3 segment of the proximal tubule. It has been shown that expression and activity of this enzyme are up ...

Early Urinary Biomarkers in Pediatric Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD): No Evidence in the Interest of Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (uNGAL)

Marco Solcà

Background: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is increasingly diagnosed during childhood by the presence of renal cysts in patients with a positive familial history. No curative treatment is available and early detection and diagnosis co ...

Assessing γ-glutamyl transpeptidase activity in kidney using hyperpolarized γ-Glu-[1-13C]Gly

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Steffen Frederic Frank

Hyperpolarized γ-Glu-[1-13C]Gly provides a non-invasive means to detect γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) enzyme activity in vivo with potential for application in functional imaging. Since GGT is most abundant in the proximal tubules of the kidney, and sinc ...

Renal Fanconi Syndrome and Hypophosphatemic Rickets in the Absence of Xenotropic and Polytropic Retroviral Receptor in the Nephron

Dmitri Firsov, Vladimir Katanaev

Tight control of extracellular and intracellular inorganic phosphate (Pi) levels is critical to most biochemical and physiologic processes. Urinary Pi is freely filtered at the kidney glomerulus and is reabsorbed in the renal tubule by the action of the ap ...

Bicc1 links the regulation of cAMP signaling in polycystic kidneys to microRNA-induced gene silencing

Daniel Constam, Charlotte Maisonneuve

Genetic defects in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) promote cystic growth of renal tubules, at least in part by stimulating the accumulation of cAMP. How renal cAMP levels are regulated is incompletely understood. We show that cAMP and ...

A randomised controlled trial of bumetanide in the treatment of autism in children

Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)-mediated synapses and the oscillations they orchestrate are altered in autism. GABA-acting benzodiazepines exert in some patients with autism paradoxical effects, raising the possibility that like in epilepsies, GABA excites ...
