Effect of calcium oxalate microcrystals on kidney proximal tubule epithelial cell gene expression in microgravity

Listed in NCBI GEO

We evaluated the impact of spaceflight on a microphysiologic model of calcium oxalate (CaOx) kidney stone disease.

Description

Proximal tubule epithelial cells cultured as confluent microtubules were exposed to CaOx crystals with or without potassium citrate (a potential countermeasure) to determine impact on gene expression. Nine genes were differentially expressed in response to CaOx crystal exposure during spaceflight.

This project presents the use of microgravity as a unique environment to study kidney pathophysiology.
