Lupus Nephritis IgG Induction of Calcium/Calmodulin‐Dependent Protein Kinase IV Expression in Podocytes and Alteration of Their Function

Kidney podocytes and their slit diaphragms prevent urinary protein loss. T cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus display increased expression of calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase IV (CaMKIV). The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of CaMKIV in podocyte function in lupus nephritis (LN).
