From the The human kidneys filter 70 liters of
blood plasma every day. The hallmark of almost all kidney diseases,
whether acquired or genetic, is the leakage of plasma proteins into the
urine because of alterations in the glomerular filtration unit of the
kidney. In this regard, the human mutations in nephrin,
podocin, The nucleotide sequence(s) reported in this paper has been submitted to the GenBankTM/EBI Data Bank with accession number(s) AF191090 and AF190638.

-actinin-4, COL4A3, and
COL4A5 genes expressed in the glomeruli have been implicated to cause alterations in glomerular filtration apparatus. Nevertheless, the expression of these proteins in relation to each
other in mouse models for glomerular vascular leak is unknown. Additionally, within the glomerulus, the central question of whether the primary filtration barrier is the basement membrane or the epithelial slit diaphragm remains ambiguous. Therefore, in this study,
we examined the localization and expression of glomerular epithelial
slit diaphragm and glomerular basement membrane proteins implicated in
glomerular vascular leak using mice deficient in either the
3 chain
of type IV collagen, the major constituent of glomerular basement
membrane, or LMX1B transcription factor, which regulates the expression
of key glomerular type IV collagen genes COL4A3 and
COL4A4 or nephrin, a glomerular epithelial slit diaphragm-associated protein. This study demonstrates that decreased expression of slit diaphragm protein, nephrin, correlates with a loss
of glomerular filter integrity. Additionally, we demonstrate that
defects induced by proteins of glomerular basement membrane lead to an
insidious plasma protein leak, whereas the defects induced by proteins
in the glomerular epithelial slit diaphragms lead to a precipitous
plasma protein leak.
