    Knockout of Lrrc55 ameliorates podocyte injury in Ang II–induced mice. (A and B) RT-PCR and Western blot analysis of LRRC55 in podocytes of mice treated with Ang II ( n = 6). Mice glomeruli were isolated by using the magnetic bead–based isolation technique, single-cell suspensions were obtained with enzymatic disaggregation, and then podocytes were enriched by using anti-podocalyxin beads for RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. (C) IHC analysis of LRRC55 in glomerular tissues of mice treated with Ang II ( n = 6). Black arrow indicates positive staining for LRRC55. (D) The BK current measured at +80 mV in podocytes of freshly isolated glomeruli from mice treated with Ang II ( n = 6). To analyze the whole-cell recording of the BK current in situ, the isolated glomeruli were attached to poly-L-lysine–coated coverslips, and then the coverslips were placed into a patch-clamp chamber and perfused with bath solution to conduct a patch-clamp experiment. (E) Urinary albumin excretion of mice treated with Ang II ( n = 6). (F) Periodic acid–Schiff staining and electron microscopy analysis of renal sections. (G) Mean width of podocyte foot processes ( n = 6). (H) The number of apoptotic podocytes in glomerular tissues of mice treated with Ang II ( n = 6). (I) Western blot analysis of cleaved caspase-3 (casp-3) in glomerular tissues of mice treated with Ang II. Data shown are representative of three experiments.
