APOL1 variant-expressing endothelial cells exhibit autophagic dysfunction and mitochondrial stress
2020-03-18
Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene risk variants (RV) associate with renal and cardiovascular disease particularly in SLE. We hypothesized that in RV-carrying human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) cytokine-induced APOL1 expression compromises mitochondrial respiration, lysosome integrity, and autophagic flux. HUVEC cultures of each APOL1 genotype were generated. APOL1 was expressed using IFNɣ; HUVEC mitochon...
