In membranous nephropathy (MN), the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) is thickened due to accumulation of GBM material between and around the subepithelial immune deposits. Alterations in the GBM components in relation to subepithelial deposits and GBM thickening are not clearly defined. The GBM di
Immunogold densities for the 'classical' and 'novel' chains of type IV collagen, laminin, and fibronectin are increased in the spikes in human membranous nephropathy (MN). To investigate the molecular mechanisms which underlie these changes in glomerular basement membrane (GBM) components, 1(IV) col
Background: The present study was designed to clarify development of filtration property of fetal renal glomerulus when maternal kidney is dysfunctional. Materials and Methods: Maternal bilateral ureteral ligation was performed on days 17, 19, and 21 of pregnancy. One day after each operation, catio
Remodelling of the extracellular matrix requires tight control not only of matrix synthesis, but also of matrix degradation. Control of matrix degradation is achieved mainly through the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes. In the glomerulus, MMP-2 and MMP-9 are believed to be particularly importa
