Podocyte loss triggering aberrant activation and proliferation of parietal epithelial cells (PECs) is a central pathogenic event in proliferative glomerulopathies. Podocyte-specific Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4), a zinc-finger transcription factor, is essential for maintaining podocyte homeostasis and PEC quiescence. Using mice with podocyte-specific knockdown of Klf4, we conducted glomerular RNA-sequencing, tandem mass spectrometry, and single-nucleus RNA-sequencing to identify cell-specific tra ...[more]
