Investigations of cytosplasmic contractile and cytoskeletal elements in the kidney glomerulus. Electron microscopy and in vitro techniques were used to evaluate the morphologic responses of glomerular podocytes and glomerular endothelial cells to compounds that affect either cytoplasmic contractile elements or cytoplasmic microtubules. In response to in vitro incubation in the presence of cytochalasin D or B (compounds that inhibit contraction of actin-like microfilaments), podocyte foot processes change in shape from short processes with broad bases to taller processes with narrow bases. Coincident with these shape changes, there is an increase in the number of fully patent filtration slit spaces between adjacent foot processes. In view of...
