May identify podocyte protection target; leaves open clinical relevance in human kidney disease.
Angiotensin II induces ER stress in podocytes via the PERK-eIF2α-ATF4 axis, which is augmented by PI3-kinase inhibition, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for podocyte injury.
Ha et al. (2015) studied this question.
