Pericyte-mediated constriction of renal capillaries evokes no-reflow and kidney injury following ischaemia

1. Felipe Freitas
2. David Attwell

• Curated by eLife

  Evaluation Summary:

  This paper extends our understanding of blood flow regulation in the ischemic kidney and adds to a growing body of literature on the role played by pericyte contraction in the aftermath of ischemia/reperfusion (much of it based on the CNS microvasculature), and the potential of capillary pericytes as therapeutic targets in mitigating ischemia/reperfusion injury. This is an important study which should be of interest to a wide variety of investigators in vascular and renal biology.

  Evaluation Summary:

  The paper presents the first comprehensive gene expression analysis of two species of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), an arterivirus that causes economically important diseases of pigs. By applying ribosome profiling to arterivirus-infected cells the authors discovered a substantial number of efficiently translated open reading frames in viral RNAs and obtained compelling evidence of changes in ribosome frameshifting efficiencies over the course of infection. The paper is of interest to virologists and researchers studying mRNA decoding, recoding, and translation.
