“…A link between ciliary Ca 2+ signaling, the polycystin proteins, and cyst development has recently gained attention (42,(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51). The fact that the cilia in the InsP3R3 and PC2 knockdown cysts were still present, but absent in InsP3R1 knockdown cysts, by week 8, suggests that cilia may not be essential to the latter stages of cystogenesis and is broadly consistent with recent findings (52).…”

Mutations in polycystin 1 and 2 (PC1 and PC2) cause the common genetic kidney disorder autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). It is unknown how these mutations result in renal cysts, but dysregulation of calcium (Ca 2+ ) signaling is a known consequence of PC2 mutations. PC2 functions as a Ca 2+ -activated Ca 2+ channel of the endoplasmic reticulum. We hypothesize that Ca 2+ signaling through PC2, or other intracellular Ca 2+ channels such as the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (InsP3R), is necessary to maintain renal epithelial cell function and that disruption of the Ca 2+ signaling leads to renal cyst development. The cell line LLC-PK1 has traditionally been used for studying PKD-causing mutations and Ca 2+ signaling in 2D culture systems. We demonstrate that this cell line can be used in long-term (8 wk) 3D tissue culture systems. In 2D systems, knockdown of InsP3R results in decreased Ca 2+ transient signals that are rescued by overexpression of PC2. In 3D systems, knockdown of either PC2 or InsP3R leads to cyst formation, but knockdown of InsP3R type 1 (InsP3R1) generated the largest cysts. InsP3R1 and InsP3R3 are differentially localized in both mouse and human kidney, suggesting that regional disruption of Ca 2+ signaling contributes to cystogenesis. All cysts had intact cilia 2 wk after starting 3D culture, but the cells with InsP3R1 knockdown lost cilia as the cysts grew. Studies combining 2D and 3D cell culture systems will assist in understanding how mutations in PC2 that confer altered Ca 2+ signaling lead to ADPKD cysts. primary cilia | polycysin 2 | calcium release T he commonly occurring genetic kidney disorder, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), is the result of mutations in polycystin 1 or 2 (PC1 or PC2). The progressive cyst formation within all segments of the nephron that defines the disorder leads to renal failure requiring treatment by dialysis and/or organ transplantation (1-3). Altered Ca 2+ signaling is one of several pathways that have been implicated in the disease (4, 5). A major limitation toward elucidating the role of Ca 2+ signaling in cyst formation has been the lack of easily manipulated, physiologically relevant experimental methodologies.In the past, ADPKD research has relied largely upon data from mouse models and cells maintained in 2D cell culture. Mouse models have played a significant role in understanding the biology of cyst formation but are unable to fully recapitulate the physiology of disease progression in humans due to the inherent differences between the species including life span, genetics, and environment. Two-dimensional cell culture has the ability to provide information on signaling pathways and response to therapies in a fast, high-throughput manner, but is incapable of replicating the inherent 3D nature of cyst formation. Advances in 3D tissue culture over the past 2 decades have improved the ability to model cyst development in vitro. However, previously published 3D tissue models of ADPKD have relied upon shortter...

“…These findings led to the hypothesis that dysfunction of the primary cilium and defects in cilium-associated signal transduction pathways are key factors in the etiology of cystic renal disease. Although the precise molecular mechanisms responsible for cyst development have yet to be established, it is thought that changes in cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions, Ca 2ϩ signaling, cell proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis, and cell polarity play critical roles in this process (11,29,46).…”

In this study, we describe the generation and partial characterization of Krüppel-like zinc finger protein Glis3 mutant (Glis3 zf/zf ) mice. These mice display abnormalities very similar to those of patients with neonatal diabetes and hypothyroidism syndrome, including the development of diabetes and polycystic kidney disease. We demonstrate that Glis3 localizes to the primary cilium, suggesting that Glis3 is part of a cilium-associated signaling pathway. Although Glis3 zf/zf mice form normal primary cilia, renal cysts contain relatively fewer cells with a primary cilium. We further show that Glis3 interacts with the transcriptional modulator Wwtr1/TAZ, which itself has been implicated in glomerulocystic kidney disease. Wwtr1 recognizes a P/LPXY motif in the C terminus of Glis3 and enhances Glis3-mediated transcriptional activation, indicating that Wwtr1 functions as a coactivator of Glis3. Mutations in the P/LPXY motif abrogate the interaction with Wwtr1 and the transcriptional activity of Glis3, indicating that this motif is part of the transcription activation domain of Glis3. Our study demonstrates that dysfunction of Glis3 leads to the development of cystic renal disease, suggesting that Glis3 plays a critical role in maintaining normal renal functions. We propose that localization to the primary cilium and interaction with Wwtr1 are key elements of the Glis3 signaling pathway.

Cilia are mechanosensing organelles that communicate extracellular signals into intracellular responses. Altered functions of primary cilia play a key role in the development of various diseases including polycystic kidney disease. Here, we show that endothelial cells from the oak ridge polycystic kidney (Tg737orpk/orpk) mouse, with impaired cilia assembly, exhibit a reduction in the actin stress fibers and focal adhesions compared to wild type. In contrast, endothelial cells from polycystin-1 deficient mice (pkd1null/null), with impaired cilia function, display robust stress fibers and focal adhesion assembly. We found that the Tg737orpk/orpk cells exhibit impaired directional migration and endothelial cell monolayer permeability compared to the wild type and pkd1null/null cells. Finally, we found that the expression of heat shock protein 27 (hsp27) and the phosphorylation of FAK are down regulated in the Tg737orpk/orpk cells and overexpression of hsp27 restored both FAK phosphorylation and cell migration. Taken together, these results demonstrate that disruption of the primary cilia structure or function compromises the endothelium through the suppression of hsp27 dependent actin organization and focal adhesion formation, which may contribute to the vascular dysfunction in ciliopathies.
