Glomerulonephritis results in a dysregulation of glomerular cells and may end up in chronic alterations and subsequent loss of renal function. Therefore, understanding mechanisms, which contribute to maintain glomerular integrity, is a pivotal prerequisite for therapeutic interventions. The alpha-8 integrin chain seems to be an important player to maintain glomerular homeostasis by conferring mechanical stability and functional support for the renal capillary tuft.
肾小球肾炎会导致肾小球细胞调节异常,并最终可能导致慢性改变以及随后的肾功能丧失。因此,了解有助于维持肾小球完整性的机制是治疗干预的关键前提。α-8整合素链似乎是通过赋予肾毛细血管袢机械稳定性和功能支持来维持肾小球稳态的重要因素。
