| Abstract | Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) has been shown to participate in the pathophysiology of diabetic complications. As shown most recently, TGF-β stimulates the expression of a distinct serine/threonine kinase (hSGK) which had previously been cloned as an early gene transcriptionally regulated by cell volume alterations. The present study was performed to elucidate transcription and function of hSGK in diabetic nephropathy. As shown by Northern blotting, an increase of extracellular glucose concentration increased hSGK mRNA levels in cultured cells, an effect qualitatively mimicked by osmotic cell shrinkage or treatment with TGF-β (2 μg/liter), phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (1 μM), or the Ca2+ ionophore ionomycin (1 μM) and blunted by high concentrations of nifedipine (10 and 100 μM). In situ hybridization revealed that hSGK transcription was markedly enhanced in diabetic nephropathy, with particularly high expression in mesangial cells, interstitial cells, and cells in thick ascending limbs of Henle's loop and distal tubules. According to voltage clamp and tracer flux studies in Xenopus oocytes expressing the renal epithelial Na+ channel ENaC or the mouse thick ascending limb Na+,K+,2Cl− cotransporter BSC-1, coexpression with hSGK stimulated ENaC and BSC-1 11-fold and 6-fold, respectively, effects reversed by kinase inhibitors staurosporine (1 μM) and chelerythrine (1 μM) and not elicited by inactive hSGK. In conclusion, excessive extracellular glucose concentrations enhance hSGK transcription, which in turn stimulates renal tubular Na+ transport. These observations disclose an additional element in the pathophysiology of diabetic nephropathy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
