Investigating the genetic interaction between Pkhd1 and Pkd1

ABSTRACT: The lack of rapidly progressive murine models reflecting the classical infantile disease in ARPKD inhibits progress to understanding pathogenesis. The role that primary cilia play in PKD is also controversial. Here new mouse and rat models, generated by interbreeding appropriate ARPKD and ADPKD strains are characterized; better reflecting the severe human disease. Analysis of mRNA expression in the individual ARPKD and ADPKD models, and the combined mice highlighted different disrupted pathways but with a commonality of dysregulated mechanisms associated with primary cilia. These models will help understand ARPKD and improve preclinical testing for this disease. The study also, in unbiased way, reinforces that cilia are important for pathogenesis in both disorders.

Project description:Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects more than 12 million people worldwide. Mutations in PKD1 and PKD2 cause cyst formation through unknown mechanisms. To unravel the pathogenic mechanisms in ADPKD, multiple studies have investigated transcriptional mis-regulation in cystic kidneys from patients and mouse models, and numerous dysregulated genes and pathways have been described. Yet, the concordance between studies has been rather limited. Furthermore, the cellular and genetic diversity in cystic kidneys has hampered the identification of mis-expressed genes in kidney epithelial cells with homozygous PKD mutations, which are critical to identify polycystin-dependent pathways.
