lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs02:39

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

10.0K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Kidney Structure01:45

Kidney Structure

75.2K
The kidneys are two large bean-shaped organs located in the upper abdomen. They filter the blood several times a day to remove toxins and rebalance water and electrolytes of the circulatory system via the renal veins. The kidneys receive blood directly from the heart via the renal arteries. These arteries enter the kidney at the hilum, the concave surface of the bean, where they branch and divide into smaller vessels and capillaries.

Nursing Code of Ethics01:29

Nursing Code of Ethics

4.5K
The Nursing Code of Ethics sets the ethical benchmark for the profession, and guides nurses in ethical analysis and decision making at the societal, organizational, and clinical levels. The code encompasses showing compassion and respect for the patient, their families, and communities in all circumstances while committing to providing patient-centered care. In addition, the code states that nurses must advocate for the patient by defending a cause or recommendation to protect their rights,...

External Anatomy of the Kidney

3.7K
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...

Internal Anatomy of the Kidney01:12

Internal Anatomy of the Kidney

6.7K
The kidneys are essential organs in the human body, performing a myriad of tasks that maintain homeostasis and overall health.
Anatomical Position and Dimensions
The kidneys are retroperitoneal organs positioned against the posterior abdominal wall on either side of the spine, roughly between the twelfth thoracic and third lumbar vertebrae. Each kidney is typically 10-12 cm long, 5-6 cm wide, and 3-4 cm thick, weighing about 150 grams.
Renal Cortex
The outermost region of the kidney is the...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • SUMOylation regulates protein function and is linked to various human diseases.
  • SUMOylation plays a significant role in kidney diseases, including diabetic nephropathy (DN), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and acute kidney injury (AKI).
  • Emerging evidence suggests SUMOylation may protect podocytes from apoptosis, but its specific role in kidney health requires further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To decipher the SUMO code in kidney disease development.
  • To summarize the known functions of SUMOylation in the kidney.
  • To explore the potential role of SUMOylation in renal fibrosis and chronic kidney disease (CKD) pathogenesis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on SUMOylation in kidney diseases.
  • Analysis of experimental data showing elevated SUMO and SUMOylated proteins in hypoxia-induced tubular epithelial cells (TECs).
  • Examination of the unilateral ureteric obstruction (UUO) mouse model to assess SUMO's role in renal fibrosis.

Main Results:

  • SUMO and SUMOylated protein expression is significantly increased in hypoxia-induced TECs.
  • Elevated SUMOylation is observed in the UUO mouse model, suggesting involvement in TEC injury and renal fibrosis.
  • The precise SUMO code governing beneficial outcomes in the kidney remains to be fully understood.

Conclusions:

  • SUMOylation is implicated in the pathogenesis of kidney diseases, particularly renal fibrosis and CKD.
  • Understanding the SUMO code is crucial for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.
  • This review aims to guide clinical therapy and prognosis by clarifying SUMO's role in kidney pathology.
