Uchida et al. show in this issue that in rat and human nephrosis, tyrosine phosphorylation of nephrin is reduced, and this is accompanied by a decrease in F-actin in glomeruli. This, together with previous studies, suggests that the nephrin protein complex is a signaling nexus that regulates actin dynamics in podocytes.
内田等人在本期杂志中指出,在大鼠和人类肾病中,nephrin的酪氨酸磷酸化减少,同时肾小球中的F-肌动蛋白也减少。这与之前的研究共同表明,nephrin蛋白复合物是一个调节足细胞中肌动蛋白动力学的信号枢纽。
