General description

Puromycin aminonucleoside is the aminonucleoside portion of the antibiotic puromycin. It is useful in nephrology research, like studies of focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis and in the induction of nephrosis in rats. The excretion of sodium and nitrite (NOx) metabolites in rats with puromycin aminonucleoside-induced nephrotic syndrome are studied. Puromycin aminonucleoside-induced nephrosis in rats has been studied with respect to the production of reactive oxygen species during the acute phase. Puromycin aminonucleoside is used to probe endothelial glycosaminoglycan synthesis in cultured glomerular endothelial cells and their relation to cell permeability.

Application

Puromycin aminonucleoside has been used:
  • as a selection marker for the infected cells for the transfection of lentivirus
  • as a component of fresh medium for transfection and infection assays
  • to subcutaneously induce puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis to investigate the mRNA and protein levels of nephrin and podocin before the onset of proteinuria

Biochem/physiol Actions

Puromycin aminonucleoside is used to study human glomerular disease by inducing damage of murine glomerular podocytes and is used to study glomerular function and morphology.

Dominant and recessive mutations in podocalyxin (PODXL) are associated with human kidney disease. Interestingly, some PODXL mutations manifest as anuria while others are associated with proteinuric kidney disease. PODXL heterozygosity is associated with adult-onset kidney disease and podocalyxin shedding into

Dynamin plays an essential role in maintaining the structure and function of the glomerular filtration barrier. Specifically, dynamin regulates the actin cytoskeleton and the turnover of nephrin in podocytes, and knocking down dynamin expression causes proteinuria. Moreover, promoting dynamin oligomerization

However, podocytes cultured in vitro face a limited ability to maintain appreciable extents of differentiation hallmarks, raising
