Although calcineurin (CN) is distributed in many cell types and functions in regulating cell functions, the precise roles of CN remained in each type of the cells are not well understood yet. A CN inhibitor (CNI) has been used for steroid?resistant nephrotic syndrome. A CNI is assumed to ameliorate proteinuria by preventing the overproduction of T?cell cytokines. However, recent reports suggest that CNI has a direct effect on podocyte. It is accepted that a slit diaphragm (SD), a unique cell?cell junction of podocytes, is a critical barrier preventing a leak of plasma protein into urine. Therefore, we hypothesized that CNI has an effect on the SD. In this study, we analyzed the expression of CN in physiological and in the nephrotic model caused by the antibody against nephrin, a critical component of the SD. We observed that CN is expressed at the SD in normal rat and human kidney sections and has an interaction with nephrin. The staining of CN at the SD was reduced in the nephrotic model, while CN activity in glomeruli was increased. We also observed that the treatment with tacrolimus, a CNI, in this nephrotic model suppressed the redistribution of CN, nephrin, and other SD components and ameliorated proteinuria. These observations suggested that the redistribution and the activation of CN may participate in the development of the SD injury.
