Figure 9.

Model of radiation-induced podocytopathy. The model depicts loss of SMPDL3b as a key event after radiation injury of renal podocytes. This triggers changes in sphingolipid metabolism, including a drop in NCDase activity and a downstream decrease in S1P levels resulting in cytosolic relocation of ezrin and remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. SM, sphingomyelin.
