Abstract excerpt
Actin cytoskeletal disruption is a hallmark of ischemic injury and ATP depletion in a number of cell types, including renal epithelial cells. We manipulated Rho GTPase signaling by transfection and microinjection in LLC-PK proximal tubule epithelial cells and observed actin cytoskeletal organization following ATP depletion or recovery by confocal microscopy and quantitative image analysis. ATP depletion resulted...
