Renal - Mouse Podocyte Development
MafB-GFP mice show restricted expression of GFP in podocytes.
Even as early as E13.5 in the S-shaped bodies the prospective podocytes were uniquely labeled by GFP (Fig. 1, left panels). At this stage of development the immature podocytes form a single layer of cells adjacent to the glomerular cleft. As development progresses a capillary loop forms within the cleft and the early glomerulus is encircled by podocytes (Fig. 1, right panels).
Cryostat sections of E15.5 MafB-GFP transgenic kidneys with visible (above panels) and fluorescent (below) illumination. An S-shaped body and glomerulus are marked in above panels (arrows), and prospective podocytes in these structures are shown to be GFP positive in lower panels.
