Aqp2-Expressing Cells Give Rise to Renal Intercalated Cells [PDF]
The mammalian collecting duct comprises principal and intercalated cells, which maintain sodium/water and acid/base balance, respectively, but the epigenetic contributors to the differentiation of these cell types remain unknown. Here, we investigated whether the histone H3 K79 methyltransferase Dot1l, which is highly expressed in principal cells ...

Cell intercalation in a simple epithelium [PDF]
Cell intercalation is a key topological transformation driving tissue morphogenesis, homeostasis and diseases such as cancer cell invasion. In recent years, much work has been undertaken to better elucidate the fundamental mechanisms controlling intercalation.

Novel Proinflammatory Function of Renal Intercalated Cells [PDF]
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Serious and often fatal acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently seen after major surgery, local and remote organ damage, and sepsis. It is associated with uncontrolled inflammation, and is usually diagnosed only after the kidneys have gone through significant and often irreversible damage.

Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the tumor ecosystem of adenoid cystic carcinoma
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant tumor that originates from exocrine gland epithelial cells. We profiled the transcriptomes of 49,948 cells from paracarcinoma and carcinoma tissues of three patients using single-cell RNA sequencing.

Autoantibodies against intercalated cells in Sjögren's syndrome [PDF]
To the Editor: Recently, Bae et al. reported on a 43-year-old woman presenting with distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) associated with Sjogren’s syndrome. Confirming earlier reports, they showed decreased immunostaining for Hþ ATPase in the cortical collecting duct of the patient.

Developmental Biology: Cell Intercalation One Step beyond [PDF]
Formation of the primitive streak, the equivalent of the blastopore, is a critical step during the early development of amniote embryos. Medio-lateral cell intercalation and the planar cell polarity pathway play a role during this earliest step of gastrulation in the chick embryo.

Differentiation of renal beta-intercalated cells to alpha-intercalated and principal cells in culture. [PDF]
The renal collecting duct is a heterogenous epithelium consisting of intercalated cells (ICC) and principal cells (PC). The origin of this cellular heterogeneity is not clear. To test the hypothesis that the two cell types might originate from one another, pure populations of ICC (beta subtype) and PC were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell ...

Transcription factor TFCP2L1 patterns cells in the mouse kidney collecting ducts
Although most nephron segments contain one type of epithelial cell, the collecting ducts consists of at least two: intercalated (IC) and principal (PC) cells, which regulate acid-base and salt-water homeostasis, respectively.

Proliferation of acid-secretory cells in the kidney during adaptive remodelling of the collecting duct. [PDF]
The renal collecting duct adapts to changes in acid-base metabolism by remodelling and altering the relative number of acid or alkali secreting cells, a phenomenon termed plasticity.

Collecting Duct Intercalated Cell Function and Regulation [PDF]
Intercalated cells are kidney tubule epithelial cells with important roles in the regulation of acid-base homeostasis. However, in recent years the understanding of the function of the intercalated cell has become greatly enhanced and has shaped a new model for how the distal segments of the kidney tubule integrate salt and water reabsorption ...
