Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary disorder characterized by multiple cysts in both kidneys and other organs. We obtained TRPP2 697fsX, which causes the aberrant localization of polycystin-2, from a patient with ADPKD and established TRPP2 697fsX transgenic mice. These mice exhibited proteinuria, renal insufficiency at 4 weeks, and cyst formation at a minimum age of 6 months. These data indicate that TRPP2 697fsX transgenic mice can be used as mice models of ADPKD. Hence, using these models, we will further analyze the mechanism underlying cyst formation in ADPKD.
