Background
Proteinuria is considered a prognostic marker for kidney disease and one of the main symptoms of podocytopathies. Several molecules participate in the maintenance of glomerular filtration barrier, including the CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) present in the slit diaphragm and the α3β1 integrin in the basal membrane of podocytes. This study aimed to evaluate the relative expression of CD2AP, ITGA3 and ITGB1 genes after overload of albumin in podocytes in vitro.
Methods
Conditionally immortalized human podocytes were exposed to progressive concentrations of albumin (0, 3, 20 and 40 mg/ml) for 24 hours under two conditions: with or without 12 hours of 15 ug/uL of puromycin aminoglycoside (PAN) treatment. We evaluated CD2AP, ITGA3 and ITGB1 genes relative expression through qPCR (n=3). The Friedman test was used to compare the different albumin exposures with and without PAN (p<0.05).
Results
The fold change of CD2AP, ITGA3 and ITGB1 genes are presented in Table 1. No significant difference was found among the albumin exposures, neither with nor without PAN (p>0.05).
Conclusion
In the condition here studied, albumin overload have not modulated CD2AP, ITGA3 and ITGB1 genes.
