Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS: In kidney, extracellular [Ca] can modulate intracellular [Ca] to control key cellular processes. Hence, extracellular [Ca] is normally maintained within narrow range. We tested effect of extracellular ATP on viability of human proximal (HK-2) cells at high calcium. Modulation of intracellular calcium was assessed by imaging cytosolic [Ca], and expression of calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs). We present an artificial intelligence enabled deep learning model for prediction of injury and protection against extracellular [Ca] in HK-2 cells.
