Expression and role of adrenomedullin in renal tumors and value of its mRNA levels as prognostic factor in clear-cell renal carcinoma.

13 Nov 2009 Antiangiogenic therapies are used for advanced clear-cell renal carcinomas (cRCC), but without curative possibilities, underlining the need for new therapeutic targets. Adrenomedullin (AM), a multifunctional peptide, is highly expressed in several ... Read more...

The role of KATP channels on propofol preconditioning in a cellular model of renal ischemia-reperfusion.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) has been shown to protect several organs, including the kidneys, from ischemia-reperfusion (I-R)-induced injury. Although propofol affects adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels in ... Read more...

The ARH adaptor protein regulates endocytosis of the ROMK potassium secretory channel in mouse kidney.

17 Oct 2009 Renal outer medullary potassium (ROMK) channels are exquisitely regulated to adjust renal potassium excretion and maintain potassium balance. Clathrin-dependent endocytosis plays a critical role, limiting urinary potassium loss in potassium ... Read more...
