Severe autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
A 61-year-old man with a known history of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and stage IV chronic kidney disease presented with a 6-month history of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. In addition to the ADPKD, the right kidney had a 4.4 cm inferior pole mass concerning for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Dual mTOR/PI3K inhibition limits PI3K-dependent pathways activated upon mTOR inhibition in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [PDF]
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by the development of kidney cysts leading to kidney failure in adulthood. Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) slows polycystic kidney disease (PKD) progression in ...

Identification of an N-terminal glycogen synthase kinase 3 phosphorylation site which regulates the functional localisation of polycystin-2 in vivo and in vitro [PDF]
PKD2 is mutated in 15% of patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Polycystin-2 (PC2), the PKD2 protein, is a nonselective Ca2 + -permeable cation channel which may function at the cell surface and ER. Nevertheless, the factors

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
Autosomal dominant polycystic kiney disease is a hereditary systemic disorder, characterized by the developement of cysts, mainly in the kidney and liver, also with gastrointestinal and cardiovascular abnormalities. It affects 4 to 6 million people wordwide and accounts for end-stage renal disease in 7-10% of dialysis patients.

Aberrant Polycystin-1 Expression Results in Modification of Activator Protein-1 Activity, whereas Wnt Signaling Remains Unaffected [PDF]
Polycystin-1, the polycystic kidney disease 1 gene product, has been implicated in several signaling complexes that are known to regulate essential cellular functions. We investigated the role of polycystin-1 in Wnt signaling and activator protein-1 (
