Podocyte Density and Albuminuria in Aging Diabetic Ins2± Mice with or Without Adenosine A1 Receptor Signaling

To investigate podocyte density in aging diabetic Ins2± and Ins2±, A1AR-/- mouse models in C57Bl/6 background. Ins2± mice and especially Ins2±, adenosine A1 receptor knockout mice (Ins2±, A1AR-/-) are mouse models with a phenotype of diabetic nephropathy. Aged mice (at ~40 weeks) were assessed for g...

Zusammenfassung:To investigate podocyte density in aging diabetic Ins2± and Ins2±, A1AR-/- mouse models in C57Bl/6 background. Ins2± mice and especially Ins2±, adenosine A1 receptor knockout mice (Ins2±, A1AR-/-) are mouse models with a phenotype of diabetic nephropathy. Aged mice (at ~40 weeks) were assessed for glomerular filtration barrier function by measuring albuminuria, glomerular filtration, glomerular damage by electron microscopy, and podocyte numbers by Wilms Tumor protein (WT-1) staining. Compared to healthy wild-type mice, both diabetic mouse models developed diabetic nephropathy, including hyperfiltration (p
