Descripción: In this thesis, two potential therapeutic targets for diabetic nephropathy were dentified and investigated. First, we show that glomerular clusterin is upregulated in diabetic nephropathy and demonstrated that recombinant clusterin protein can protect the podocytes against oxidative stress in vitro. Second, we reveal that hCN1 overexpression accelerated and aggravated diabetic nephropathy in BTBR ob/ob mice. We also studied two novel zebrafish models to investigate chronic kidney disease. We showed that lepb-/- adult zebrafish have the early signs of human diabetic nephropathy, and we demonstrated that ctns mutant adult zebrafish have the kidney pathologic features of human nephropathic cystinosis.
