Alport Syndrome Information Day 21 st November 2015
How do kidneys: Develop? Stay healthy? Change in disease? University of Manchester
What do kidneys do? 1. Remove waste 2. Keep bones healthy 3. Help to control blood pressure 4. Help to make red blood cells Kidney disease affects up to 1 in 10 people
Endothelial cells Matrix Podocyte 1 million filters in each human kidney…
The glomeru erula lar r filte ter Glomerular endothelial cells 180 litres of water and small solutes- almost no proteins Matrix Podocytes
Endothelial cell Matrix Podocyte
What happens in Alport Syndrome? Blood cells and protein leak into the urine
Urine testing sticks- blood cells and protein
How do we make and maintain the filter? Unique and complex structure How does the filter stay healthy?
My research team How do the kidney filters stay healthy? How do steroids alter kidney function? How is force regulated in the kidney? How do ACE inhibitors affect the kidney? How do antibodies alter How does the kidney change kidney function? in Alport Syndrome?
How do the Kidneys change in Alport syndrome? Using the newest technology Michael Randles Jeff Miner Washington University St Louis Electron microscopy- human and mouse kidneys
Research tools  Research toolbox  Developing additional animal models to better model human mutations  Deriving cell lines from Alport mice and/or patients to gain a better understanding of how changes in the GBM cause changes to the overlying podocytes New therapies  Gene repair, gene replacement, protein replacement, or podocyte replacement therapies
Why is this important? • Exciting times for medical research • We need to understand more…. • Can we repair the filters? • Can we protect kidneys? • New treatments for kidney disease
Focus on research • Breakout session – Why research is important for Alport Syndrome? – What types of research? – What more needs to be done? – How patients can get involved? • Feedback this afternoon
