Effects of off-pump and on-pump coronary-artery bypass grafting at 1 year. by Lamy, A, Devereaux, P, Prabhakaran, D, Taggart, D, Hu, S, Paolasso, E, Straka, Z, Piegas, L, Akar, A, Jain, A, Noiseux, N, Padmanabhan, C, Bahamondes, J, Novick, R, Vaijyanath, P, Reddy, S, Tao, L, Olavegogeascoechea, P, Airan, B, Sulling, T, Whitlock, R, Ou, Y, Pogue, J, Chrolavicius, S, Yusuf, S

Receptor-mediated endocytosis and endosomal acidification is impaired in proximal tubule epithelial cells of Dent disease patients. by Gorvin, C, Wilmer, M, Piret, S, Harding, B, van den Heuvel, L, Wrong, O, Jat, P, Lippiat, J, Levtchenko, E, Thakker, R

“…Receptor-mediated endocytosis, involving megalin and cubilin, mediates renal proximal-tubular reabsorption and is decreased in Dent disease because of mutations of the chloride/proton antiporter, chloride channel-5 (CLC-5), resulting in low-molecular-weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis, and renal failure. To facilitate studies of receptor-mediated endocytosis and the role of CLC-5, we established conditionally immortalized proximal-tubular epithelial cell lines (ciPTECs) from three patients with CLC-5 mutations (30:insH, R637X, and del132-241) and a normal male. …”
