Comment | Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide, in both first-world countries and in developing ones. It occurs in up to 40% of diabetic patients, somewhat more frequently in type I than in type II. |

Comment | Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by an onset of microalbuminuria coupled with increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the initial stage, followed by progressive increase of the total urine protein excretion and decrease of the GFR. A fully developed nephrotic syndrome is marked by total urine protein excretion of over 3.5 g/day. |

Comment | The proliferation of the extracellular matrix plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. |

Comment | Inflammatory pathways seem to be interlinked with those of systemic and local hypertensive pathomechanisms, since angiotensin II, through the AT1 receptor, induces the protein kinase C (PKC) activity, and also rises the intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), contributing to the inflammatory process. |

Comment | Activation of Gq alpha subunit-coupled signaling pathways in glomerular podocytes promotes renal injury. |
Formal Description Interaction-ID: 82507 |

Comment | The AT1 receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor. Commonly, Gq alpha subunit of G protein-coupled receptors activates phospholipase C. Phospholipase C generates DAG as second messenger of AT1 receptor binding, further activating protein kinase C. PKC induction by AT1 is synergistically affected by reactive oxygen species, generated by interactions of AGE and corresponding receptors, which also increases the phospholipase C activity producing more molecular units of DAG. This double pathway PKC activation defines its central role in diabetic nephropathy pathogenesis. |

Comment | Gangliosides are categorized according to the Svennerholm classification. Letters ‚ÄúM, D, T, Q‚ÄĚ and ‚ÄúP‚ÄĚ indicate the number of sialic acid groups on molecules (M=1...P=5). Numbers ‚Äú1-4‚ÄĚ designate the number of carbohydrate groups bound to ceramide, derived from the formula; n = 5 - number of carbohydrate groups. When present, lowercase letters ‚Äúa‚ÄĚ, ‚Äúb‚ÄĚ and ‚Äúc‚ÄĚ indicate the number of sialic acids on the inner galactose segment. Therefore, the eponymous GM3 ganglioside contains a single sialic group with 2 carbohydrate groups bound to a ceramide structure. GM3 formation is catalyzed by the GM3 synthase, a lactosylceramide alpha 2,3 ‚Äď sialyl transferase, that catalyses the N-acetylneuraminic (sialic) acid transfer on the terminal galactose residue of lactosylceramide. Glycosyltransferases are enzymes that catalyse ganglioside synthesis and determine the key sequence of carbohydrates in the glycosphingolipid chain. |

Comment | GM3 is the most abundant renal ganglioside and together with ganglioside GM1 constitutes lipid rafts. GM3 rafts are localized predominantly on the peaks of microvillus-like protrusions in the apical membrane of canine kidney cells, whereas GM1rafts are distributed mainly on the slops of protrusions or the valleys between protrusions in the plasma membranes. |
