    Abstract Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease is a genetic disease that causes dramatic perturbations of both renal tissue architecture and of a multitude of cellular signaling pathways. The relationship between the products of the genes whose mutations cause polycystic kidney disease and these signaling pathways remains difficult to determine. It is clear, however, that cellular metabolism is dramatically altered in cells that are affected by polycystic kidney disease mutations. Adenosine monophosphate-stimulated protein kinase is a master regulator of cellular energy use and generation pathways whose activity appears to be perturbed in cells affected by polycystic kidney disease. Furthermore, modulation of this enzyme's activity may constitute a promising approach for the development of new therapeutics for polycystic kidney disease.

    Abstract The kidney plays a pivotal role in regulating calcium levels within the body. Approximately 98% of the filtered calcium is reabsorbed in the nephron, and this process is tightly controlled to maintain calcium homeostasis, which is required to facilitate optimal bone mineralization, preserve serum calcium levels within a narrow range, and support intracellular signalling mechanisms. The maintenance of these functions is attributed to a delicate balance achieved by various calcium channels, transporters, and calcium-binding proteins in renal cells. Perturbation of this balance due to deficiency or dysfunction of calcium channels and calcium-binding proteins can lead to severe complications. For example, polycystic kidney disease is linked to aberrant calcium transport and signalling. Furthermore, dysregulation of calcium levels can promote the formation of kidney stones. This Review provides an updated description of the key aspects of calcium handling in the kidney, focusing on the function of various calcium channels and the physiological stimuli that control these channels or are communicated through them. A discussion of the role of calcium as an intracellular second messenger and the pathophysiology of renal calcium dysregulation, as well as a summary of gaps in knowledge and future prospects, are also included.

    Abstract White adipose tissues are major endocrine organs that release factors, termed adipokines, which affect other major organ systems. The development and functions of adipose tissues depend largely upon the glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) surround both adipocytes and vascular structures and facilitate the communication between these two components. This communication mediates the continued export of adipokines from adipose tissues. Heparan sulfates regulate cellular physiology and communication through a sulfation code that ionically interacts with heparan-binding regions on a select set of proteins. Many of these proteins are growth factors and chemokines that regulate tissue function and inflammation. Cells regulate heparan sulfate sulfation through the release of heparanases and sulfatases. It is now possible to tissue engineer vascularized adipose tissues that express heparan sulfate proteoglycans. This makes it possible to use these tissue constructs to study the role of heparan sulfates in the regulation of adipokine production and release. It is possible to regulate the production of heparanases and sulfatases in order to fine-tune experimental studies.

    Abstract The functions of polycystin 1 and polycystin 2 (PC1 and PC2) have been surprisingly difficult to establish. PC1 and PC2 are encoded by the Pkd1 and Pkd2 genes that are implicated in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). ADPKD is the most common potentially lethal genetic disorder, affecting ~1 in 1,000 people. Over the course of decades, ADPKD patients' kidneys acquire numerous fluid-filled cysts whose expansion compresses the surrounding parenchyma, leading to end-stage renal disease in ~50% of afflicted individuals [1]. Identification of the genes encoding the PC proteins 20 years ago led to the hypothesis that they form an ion channel, since the sequence of PC2 marks it as a member of the TRP family of cation channels. In the ensuing 2 decades, tremendous effort has been devoted to determining whether this is indeed true and, if so, what characteristics that channel might manifest. A recent paper by Wang et al in this issue of EMBO Reports [2] demonstrates that assembly with PC1 changes the properties of the polycystin channel in ways that may help explain the complex behaviors that have been attributed to it.

    Abstract Laminin-111 is a basement membrane protein that participates in motor innervation and reinnervation. During axonal pathfinding, laminin-111 interacts with netrin-1 (NTN1) and changes its attractant growth cone properties into repulsion. While previous models of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) transection show increased Laminin-111 and NTN1 production after injury, developmental expression in the larynx has not been defined. This study investigates the expression of laminin-111 in laryngeal muscles during primary laryngeal innervation of Sprague Dawley rats. Adult larynges and embryos were sectioned for immunohistochemistry with βIII-Tubulin, laminin subunit α-1 (LAMA1), NTN1, and α-bungarotoxin. Sections were processed for single-molecule inexpensive RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of LAMA1 mRNA. LAMA1 expression increased in all intrinsic laryngeal muscles, except the medial thyroarytenoid (MTA), at E20.5. At E20.5 there was increased expression in the lateral thyroarytenoid (LTA) and posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) compared to the MTA. NTN1 upregulation was limited to the LTA and lateral cricoarytenoid (LCA) at E16.5 without any increase in the MTA or PCA. LAMA1 and NTN1 expression did not strictly follow expected patterns relative to the known timing of innervation and does not appear to be acting similarly to its role following RLN injury. These differences between developmental and post-injury innervation provide targets for investigations of therapeutics after nerve injury.
