CPLANE Complex and Ciliopathies [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2022 Primary cilia are non-motile organelles associated with the cell cycle, which can be found in most vertebrate cell types. Cilia formation occurs through a process called ciliogenesis, which involves several mechanisms including planar cell polarity (PCP)

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2020 Motile cilia are highly complex hair-like organelles of epithelial cells lining the surface of various organ systems. Genetic mutations (usually with autosomal recessive inheritance) that impair ciliary beating cause a variety of motile ciliopathies, a heterogeneous group of rare disorders. The pathogenetic mechanisms, clinical symptoms and severity of

Ciliopathies and the Kidney: A Review [PDF]
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2021 Primary cilia are specialized sensory organelles that protrude from the apical surface of most cell types. During the past 2 decades, they have been found to play important roles in tissue development and signal transduction, with mutations in ciliary-associated proteins resulting in a group of diseases collectively known as ciliopathies. Many of these

Primary cilia-associated protein IFT172 in ciliopathies [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Cilium is a highly conserved antenna-like structure protruding from the surface of the cell membrane, which is widely distributed on most mammalian cells. Two types of cilia have been described so far which include motile cilia and immotile cilia and the

Mouse models of ciliopathies: the state of the art [PDF]
Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2012 The ciliopathies are an apparently disparate group of human diseases that all result from defects in the formation and/or function of cilia. They include disorders such as Meckel-Grüber syndrome (MKS), Joubert syndrome (JBTS), Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS)

Molecular genetics of renal ciliopathies
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2021 Renal ciliopathies are a heterogenous group of inherited disorders leading to an array of phenotypes that include cystic kidney disease and renal interstitial fibrosis leading to progressive chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease. The renal tubules are lined with epithelial cells that possess primary cilia that project into the lumen and ...

Tectonic Proteins Are Important Players in Non-Motile Ciliopathies [PDF]
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018 Primary cilium is a ubiquitous, tiny organelle on the apex of the mammalian cells. Non-motile (primary) ciliopathies are diseases caused by the dysfunction of the primary cilium and they are characterized by diverse clinical and genetic heterogeneity. To

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2019 Renal ciliopathies are a group of disorders characterised by nephronophthisis, cystic kidneys or renal cystic dysplasia whose underlying disease pathogenesis is related to abnormal structure or function of the primary cilia complex. The number of renal ciliopathies continues to expand as genomic and genetic approaches identify novel causes.

Cilia, ciliopathies and hedgehog-related forebrain developmental disorders
Neurobiology of Disease, 2021 Development of the forebrain critically depends on the Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway, as illustrated in humans by the frequent perturbation of this pathway in holoprosencephaly, a condition defined as a defect in the formation of midline ...

Primary cilia are essential cellular organelles with pivotal roles in many signalling pathways. Here we provide an overview of the role of primary cilia within the kidney, starting with primary ciliary structure and key protein complexes. We then highlight the specialised functions of primary cilia, emphasising their role in a group of diseases known ...
