modulation of the PKD2/STX5 interaction may be a useful target for impacting dysregulated intracellular Ca2+ signaling associated with polycystic kidney disease
ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Pkd2-/- mice die in utero between embryonic day (E) 13.5 and parturition with structural defects in cardiac septation and cyst formation in maturing nephrons and pancreatic ducts. Pkd2WS25/- mice have pancreatic ductal and kidney cysts associated with renal failure and early death
  • Pkd2 (+/-) and Pkd1(+/-) : Pkd2 (+/-) mice have mild renal cystic lesions with no adverse effect on survival at 1 year
  • Pkd2 (+/-) mice develop hypertension, intracranial vascular abnormalities and vascular smooth muscle cells and have significantly altered intracellular Ca(2+) homeostasis
