microRNA-17 family promotes polycystic kidney disease progression through modulation of mitochondrial metabolism

Nature Communications, 2017
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most frequent genetic cause of renal failure. Here we identify miR-17 as a target for the treatment of ADPKD. We report that miR-17 is induced in kidney cysts of mouse and human ADPKD.

Androgens and Hypertension in Men and Women: a Unifying View. [PDF]

, 2017
This review was designed to revaluate the androgen role on the mechanisms of hypertension and cardiovascular risks in both men and women. Sex steroids are involved in the regulation of blood pressure, but pathophysiological mechanism is not well ...

Genetics of Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease and Its Differential Diagnoses

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a hepatorenal fibrocystic disorder that is characterized by enlarged kidneys with progressive loss of renal function and biliary duct dilatation and congenital hepatic fibrosis that leads to portal

Kidney transcriptome and cystic kidney disease genes in zebrafish

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Introduction: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a condition where fluid filled cysts form on the kidney which leads to overall renal failure. Zebrafish has been recently adapted to study polycystic kidney disease, because of its powerful embryology and ...

Vasopressin regulates the growth of the biliary epithelium in polycystic liver disease [PDF]

, 2016
The neurohypophysial hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) acts by three distinct receptor subtypes: V1a, V1b, and V2. In the liver, AVP is involved in ureogenesis, glycogenolysis, neoglucogenesis and regeneration. No data exist about the presence of AVP in

Development of a Synthetic 3D Platform for Compartmentalized Kidney In Vitro Disease Modeling

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A fully synthetic, compartmentalized 3D kidney disease model is introduced. The kidney model combines a PEG‐based hydrogel matrix with anisotropic, enzymatically degradable rod‐shaped microgels to spatially arrange a triple co‐culture of key renal epithelial, endothelial, and fibroblast cells.

The combination of metformin and 2‐deoxyglucose significantly inhibits cyst formation in miniature pigs with polycystic kidney disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2019
The pathogenic mechanism of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is unclear. Similar to tumour cells, polycystic kidney cells are primarily dependent on aerobic glycolysis for ATP production. Compared with rodents, miniature pigs are more

Participant Perceptions of Increasing Water Intake in Polycystic Kidney Disease

Kidney International Reports
Introduction: Clinical practice guidelines suggest maintaining adequate hydration in people with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). However, the long-term perceptions of increasing water intake and the role of self-efficacy tools are ...
