The megalin\/cubilin complex mediates protein reabsorption, but genetic knockout of megalin is perinatally lethal.

Tam administration in adult iMegKO mice decreased the expression of renal megalin protein by 92% compared with that in wild\u2013type C57BL\/6J mice and almost completely abrogated renal reabsorption of intravenously injected retinol\u2013binding protein. Furthermore, urinary albumin excretion increased to 175\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">\u03bc<\/jats:italic>\n                    g\/d (0.46 mg albumin\/mg creatinine) in Tam-treated iMegKO mice, suggesting that this was the amount of total nephron albumin filtration. By comparing Tam-treated, streptozotocin-induced diabetic iMegKO mice with Tam-treated nondiabetic iMegKO mice, we estimated that the development of diabetes led to a 1.9-fold increase in total nephron albumin filtration, a 1.8-fold increase in reabsorption, and a significant reduction in reabsorption efficiency (86% efficiency versus 96% efficiency in nondiabetic mice). Insulin treatment normalized these abnormalities. Akita;iMegKO mice, another model of type 1 diabetes, showed equivalent results. Finally, nondiabetic iMegKO mice had a glomerular sieving coefficient of albumin of 1.7\u00d710\n                    <jats:sup>\u22125<\/jats:sup>\n                    , which approximately doubled in diabetic iMegKO mice. This study reveals actual values and changes of albumin filtration and reabsorption in early diabetic nephropathy in mice, bringing new insights to our understanding of renal albumin dynamics associated with the hyperfiltration status of diabetic nephropathy.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1681\/asn.2015101168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,6]],"date-time":"2016-07-06T21:10:50Z","timestamp":1467839450000},"page":"278-289","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Increase of Total Nephron Albumin Filtration and Reabsorption in Diabetic Nephropathy"],"prefix":"10.1681","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Keita P.","family":"Mori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hideki","family":"Yokoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masato","family":"Kasahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Translational Research, Institute for Clinical and Translational Science, Nara Medical University, Nara, Japan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hirotaka","family":"Imamaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akira","family":"Ishii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takashige","family":"Kuwabara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenichi","family":"Koga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yukiko","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naohiro","family":"Toda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shoko","family":"Ohno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Koichiro","family":"Kuwahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomomi","family":"Endo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazuwa","family":"Nakao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TK Project and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Motoko","family":"Yanagita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology and"},{"name":"TMK Project, Medical Innovation Center, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masashi","family":"Mukoyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kiyoshi","family":"Mori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TMK Project, Medical Innovation Center, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan;"},{"name":"Department of Molecular and Clinical Pharmacology, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Shizuoka, Shizuoka, Japan;
