Knockout of Na-glucose transporter SGLT2 attenuates hyperglycemia and glomerular hyperfiltration but not kidney growth or injury in diabetes mellitus

…, M Gerasimova, J Satriano, KA Platt… - American Journal …, 2013 - journals.physiology.org
The Na-glucose cotransporter SGLT2 mediates high-capacity glucose uptake in the early
proximal tubule and SGLT2 inhibitors are developed as new antidiabetic drugs. We used gene-…

Essential role of MAPK phosphatase-1 in the negative control of innate immune responses

…, IB Owusu, KA Millerchip, M Potter, KA Platt… - The Journal of …, 2006 - journals.aai.org
TLR-induced innate immunity and inflammation are mediated by signaling cascades leading
to activation of the MAPK family of Ser/Thr protein kinases, including p38 MAPK, which …

Increase in SGLT1-mediated transport explains renal glucose reabsorption during genetic and pharmacological SGLT2 inhibition in euglycemia

…, M Gerasimova, E Mayoux, K Platt… - American Journal …, 2014 - journals.physiology.org
In the kidney, the sodium-glucose cotransporters SGLT2 and SGLT1 are thought to account
for >90 and ∼3% of fractional glucose reabsorption (FGR), respectively. However, …

Characterization of the humoral immune response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus infection

…, ML Frey, HT Hill, KB Platt - Journal of …, 1995 - journals.sagepub.com
The development of the humoral immune response against porcine reproductive and
respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus was monitored by an indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) test, …

Gli1 is a target of Sonic hedgehog that induces ventral neural tube development

J Lee, KA Platt, P Censullo, AR Altaba - Development, 1997 - journals.biologists.com
The vertebrate zinc finger genes of the Gli family are homologs of the Drosophila gene
cubitus interruptus. In frog embryos, Gli1 is expressed transiently in the prospective floor plate …

Gli2 is required for induction of floor plate and adjacent cells, but not most ventral neurons in the mouse central nervous system

MP Matise, DJ Epstein, HL Park, KA Platt… - …, 1998 - journals.biologists.com
Induction of the floor plate at the ventral midline of the neural tube is one of the earliest events
in the establishment of dorsoventral (d/v) polarity in the vertebrate central nervous system (…

SGLT2 mediates glucose reabsorption in the early proximal tubule

V Vallon, KA Platt, R Cunard, J Schroth… - Journal of the …, 2011 - journals.lww.com
Mutations in the gene encoding for the Na+-glucose co-transporter SGLT2 (SLC5A2)
associate with familial renal glucosuria, but the role of SGLT2 in the kidney is incompletely …
