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

Céline Gagnieux

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 ...

Tissue Engineering with Mechanically Induced Solid‐Fluid Transitions

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Jaemin Kim, Ece Özelçi, Erik Mailand, Nikolaos Bouklas, Matthias Rüegg

Epithelia are contiguous sheets of cells that stabilize the shape of internal organs and support their structure by covering their surfaces. They acquire diverse morphological forms appropriate for their specific functions during embryonic development, suc ...

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

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

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

Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Dmitri Firsov

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 ...

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

Dmitri Firsov

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 ...

Role of Bicaudal-C in Left-Right Axis Formation and Kidney Morphogenesis

The KH domain RNA binding protein Bicaudal-C is known to play a role in anterior-posterior (AP) patterning in Drosophila by acting on oskar mRNA. In mammals, its expression is induced at late gastrulation in the mesodermal layer of the ventral node. Renal ...

Systemic Distribution and Elimination of Plain and with Cy3.5 Functionalized Poly(vinyl alcohol) Coated Superparamagnetic Maghemite Nanoparticles After Intraarticular Injection in Sheep In Vivo

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Benedikt Steitz

PVA coated and fluorescent dye (Cy3.5) functionalized vinyl alcohol/vinyl amine copolymer coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) were evaluated for systemic distribution and elimination after intraarticular injection in sheep. Observatio ...
