Caption

Selective depletion of Prkci from mouse podocytes causes focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Periodic acid-Schiff staining and immunohistochemistry for nephrin and synaptopodin in Prkci^tm1Kido/Prkci^tm1.1Kido Tg(Nphs1-cre)33Mska/0 (cKO) and control kidneys at P0, P10 and P21 show that mutant mice develop segmental to global glomerulosclerosis. Boxed regions are enlarged to show an irregular pattern of nephrin staining in mutant podocytes. Loss of podocytes (arrows) and occasional adhesion of glomeruli to Bowman's capsules (arrowheads) reveal the development of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Consistent with massive proteinuria in mutant mice at birth, PAS staining reveals occasional hyaline droplets, representing reabsorbed urinary protein, in the proximal renal tubules at P0. Bars, 50 um.
