Kidney Week

Basic/Clinical Science Session

Intercellular Communication in the Pathogenesis of CKD

October 25, 2020 | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Location: On-Demand

Session Description

Cell-to-cell communication plays an essential role in kidney homeostasis and disease. Intercellular cross-talk could be mediated by multiple means, including soluble factors and extracellular vesicles such as exosomes. Recent studies reveal a complex network of intercellular communication leading to renal inflammation and kidney fibrosis in the pathogenesis of CKD. This session discusses the emerging literature on intercellular communication between tubular, inflammatory, pericyte/fibroblast, and endothelial cells in the pathogenesis of CKD.

Learning Objective(s)

• Describe the role of cell-to-cell communication in the pathogenesis of CKD
• Explain intercellular communication in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease
• Discuss the role of extracellular vesicles as a vehicle in mediating cell-to-cell communication in CKD

Learning Pathway(s)

• Pathology
• Chronic Kidney Disease

Moderators
