Shi S, Gao L, Zhang J, Zhang B, Xiao J, Xu W, et al.
BMC Med Inform Decis Mak . 2023 Oct; 23(1):241. PMID: 37904184
Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has become the largest cause of end-stage kidney disease. Early and accurate detection of DKD is beneficial for patients. The present detection depends on the...

Shi S, Ni L, Tian Y, Zhang B, Xiao J, Xu W, et al.
J Diabetes Res . 2023 Apr; 2023:3819830. PMID: 37096235
Background: Diabetic microvascular complications mainly include diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Obesity was recognized as a risk factor for DKD, while the reported relationship between obesity and...

Ren H, Yan S, Zhang B, Lu T, Arancio O, Accili D
Mol Metab . 2014 Jun; 3(4):452-9. PMID: 24944904
Insulin signaling in the CNS modulates satiety and glucose metabolism, but insulin target neurons are poorly defined. We have previously shown that ablation of insulin receptors (InsR) in Glut4-expressing tissues...

Kou H, Liu Y, Liang G, Huang J, Hu J, Yan Y, et al.
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol . 2014 Jan; 275(2):79-87. PMID: 24463096
Our previous studies demonstrated that prenatal caffeine exposure causes intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), fetuses are over-exposed to high levels of maternal glucocorticoids (GC), and intrauterine metabolic programming and associated metabonome...

Wu T, Zhang B, Ye F, Xiao Z
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol . 2012 Dec; 304(6):F820-30. PMID: 23269647
VEGF is known to be an endothelial cell mitogen that stimulates angiogenesis by promoting endothelial cell survival, proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Recent studies have suggested that VEGF may play a...

Liu Y, Xu D, Feng J, Kou H, Liang G, Yu H, et al.
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol . 2012 May; 262(2):205-16. PMID: 22583948
The aims of this study were to clarify the metabonome alteration in fetal rats after prenatal caffeine ingestion and to explore the underlying mechanism pertaining to the increased fetal circulatory...

Peng F, Zhang B, Ingram A, Gao B, Zhang Y, Krepinsky J
Cell Signal . 2009 Sep; 22(1):34-40. PMID: 19755152
Increased intraglomerular pressure is an important hemodynamic determinant of glomerulosclerosis, and can be modelled in vitro by exposing mesangial cells (MC) to cyclic mechanical stretch. We have previously shown that...

Wu D, Peng F, Zhang B, Ingram A, Kelly D, Gilbert R, et al.
J Am Soc Nephrol . 2009 Feb; 20(3):554-66. PMID: 19211711
Accumulation of glomerular matrix is a hallmark of diabetic nephropathy. The serine/threonine kinase Akt mediates glucose-induced upregulation of collagen I in mesangial cells through transactivation of the EGF receptor (EGFR)....

Peng F, Zhang B, Wu D, Ingram A, Gao B, Krepinsky J
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol . 2008 Apr; 295(1):F153-64. PMID: 18434385
Glomerular sclerosis of diverse etiologies is characterized by mesangial matrix accumulation, with transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) an important pathogenic factor. The GTPase RhoA mediates TGFbeta-induced matrix accumulation in some settings....

Peng F, Wu D, Gao B, Ingram A, Zhang B, Chorneyko K, et al.
Diabetes . 2008 Mar; 57(6):1683-92. PMID: 18356410
Objective: Accumulation of glomerular matrix proteins is central to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy, with resident mesangial cells (MCs) known to upregulate matrix protein synthesis in response to high glucose....
