Genetické faktory ovlivňující průběh vybraných forem nefrotického syndromu / Genetic factors affecting course of selected forms of nephrotic syndrome

Šafaříková, Markéta January 2011 (has links)
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is characterized by proteinuria, hypalbuminemia and edemas. It occurs during first and second glomerulopathies. This disease can be divided into two groups: primary (idiopathic) and secondary. The heredity of the familial nephrotic syndrome is autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive. There are four most important genes that condition the formation of hereditary nephrotic syndrome in adult patienst. These genes are ACTN4, CD2AP, NPHS2 and TRPC6. The gene ACTN4, which encodes protein α-actinin 4, is responsible for the autosomal dominant form of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). FSGS is included in first glomerulopathies. α-Actinin 4 was also researched for some types of carcinomas. There was performed the mutational analysis of the gene ACTN4 on the set of 48 patients with nephrotic syndrome in this diploma thesis. High resolution melting (HRM) analysis and sequencing selected samples were used during this mutation detection. During this process many published and unpublished SNPs and one unpublished candidate mutation that could have causal associations with FSGS were found.

"Efeitos renais da haploinsuficiência do gene Pkd1 (Polycystic kidney disease 1) em camundongos" / Renal effects of Pkd1 gene haploinsufficiency in mice

Sousa, Mauri Félix de 19 October 2005 (has links)
Vários estudos mostram que na doença renal policística autossômica dominante os cistos surgem a partir de um mecanismo de "dois-golpes". A patogênese das manifestações não-císticas, contudo, é pouco compreendida. Neste estudo usamos uma linhagem de camundongos endogâmica com uma mutação nula em Pkd1, onde animais heterozigotos apresentam formação cística renal mínima até 40 semanas de idade. O clearance de inulina e o número de glomérulos foram menores em machos Pkd1+/- que Pkd1+/+, enquanto o volume glomerular médio foi maior em heterozigotos. A excreção urinária de NO2/NO3 não diferiu significantemente entre os dois grupos. Avaliamos a osmolalidade urinária máxima em machos e fêmeas Pkd1+/- and Pkd1+/+, porém não foi detectada diferença significante entre os grupos heterozigoto e selvagem. Nossos resultados oferecem evidência direta de que a haploinsuficiência de Pkd1 resulta em anormalidades anatômicas e funcionais renais e sugerem que o estado haploinsuficiente de Pkd1 possa resultar na redução do número de néfrons por diminuir a ramificação tubular renal durante a nefrogênese / Several studies show that in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease cysts arise through a "two-hit" mechanism. The pathogenesis of non-cystic features, however, is poorly understood. In this study we used an inbred mouse line with a null mutation of Pkd1, where heterozygotes had minimal renal cyst formation up to 40 weeks of age. Inulin clearance and the number of glomeruli were lower in Pkd1+/- than in Pkd1+/+ males, while a higher average glomerular volume was observed in heterozygotes. The urinary excretion of NO2/NO3 did not significantly differ between the two groups. Maximal urinary osmolality was evaluated in Pkd1+/- and Pkd1+/+ males and females, but no significant difference was detected between the heterozygous and the wild type groups. Our results provide direct evidence that haploinsufficiency for Pkd1 results in anatomic and functional abnormalities of the kidney and suggest that Pkd1 haploinsufficiency may result in a reduced number of nephrons by diminishing renal tubule branching during nephrogenesis
