Mitochondria-Associated Endoplasmic Reticulum Membranes (MAMs) and Their Prospective Roles in Kidney Disease
Table 1
Summary of the studies of MAMs’ involvement in kidney disease.
| Mouse model | Cell types | Changes in MAMs | Kidney outcomes | Ref. |
| Adriamycin-induced nephropathy | Podocytes | Increased | Promoting podocyte apoptosis and increasing proteinuria | [126] | Streptozocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic mice | Tubular cells | Decreased | Promoting tubule apoptosis and accelerating kidney damage | [74] | Db/db mice | Podocytes | Increased | Promoting mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and dysfunction, and exacerbating renal damage | [50] |
