Proteome and Phosphoproteome Analyses Reveal the Kinase Regulatory Network Involved in Glycogen Synthesis Kinase 3β.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic nephropathy is the most common chronic kidney disease in the world and the main cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The structural integrity of podocytes is fundamental to the normal function of the glomerulus, and the role of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) in podocytes is complicated. A thorough understanding of GSK-3β is crucial to understand the mechanism of diabetic nephropathy. To analyze the roles of GSK-3β in podocytes, GSK-3β knockdown lentivirus by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated protein (Cas)9 was applied to establish stable cell lines. Mass spectrometry was utilized to search for differentially expressed proteins. Consequently, we found 34 proteins with higher levels and 115 proteins with lower levels in GS
