The Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is characterized by progressive renal cyst development and other extrarenal manifestation including Liver (PLD). Phenotypical characterization of animal models mimicking human diseases are commonly used, in order to, study new molecular mechanisms identify therapeutic approaches. main biomarker disease progression total volume kidney liver both mouse, which correlates with organ function. For this reason, the estimation number area tissue occupied cysts,...
(1) Background: Polycystic liver disease (PLD) is a heterogeneous group of congenital disorders characterized by bile duct dilatation and cyst development derived from cholangiocytes. Nevertheless, the cystogenesis mechanism currently unknown PLD treatment limited to transplantation. Novel efficient therapeutic approaches are th6us needed. In this context, present work has principal aim find novel molecular pathways, as well new targets, involved in hepatic process. (2) Methods: Quantitative...
Abstract Background and Aims Activation of the NOTCH signalling pathway has been described in several progressive kidney diseases. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disease caused by PKD1 or PKD2 mutations, which codify for Polycystin-1 Polycystin-2 proteins, respectively. ADPKD prevalence among 1:800 1:1000 live births characterized fluid-filled renal cysts. During this process production chemokines, cytokines growth factors epithelial cells, interstitial...
