    Abstract In vertebrate vision, photons are detected by highly specialized sensory cilia called outer segments. Photoreceptor outer segments form by remodeling the membrane of a primary cilium into a stack of flattened disks. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) is critical to the formation of most types of eukaryotic cilia including the outer segments. This review covers the state of knowledge of the role of IFT in the formation and maintenance of outer segments and the human diseases that result from mutations in genes encoding the IFT complex and associated motors.

    Abstract During Hedgehog signaling, the ciliary levels of Ptch1 and Smo are regulated by the pathway. At the basal state, Ptch1 localizes to cilia and prevents the ciliary accumulation and activation of Smo. Upon binding a Hedgehog ligand, Ptch1 exits cilia, relieving inhibition of Smo. Smo then concentrates in cilia, becomes activated and activates downstream signaling. Loss of the ubiquitin E3 ligase Arih2 elevates basal Hedgehog signaling, elevates the cellular level of Smo and increases basal levels of ciliary Smo. Mice express two isoforms of Arih2 with Arih2α found primarily in the nucleus and Arih2β found on the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Re-expression of ER-localized Arih2β but not nuclear-localized Arih2α rescues the Arih2 mutant phenotypes. When Arih2 is defective, protein aggregates accumulate in the ER and the unfolded protein response is activated. Arih2β appears to regulate the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of Smo preventing excess and potentially misfolded Smo from reaching the cilium and interfering with pathway regulation.

    Abstract Primary cilia are sensory organelles present on most vertebrate cells and are critical for development and health. Ciliary dysfunction is associated with a large class of human pathologies collectively known as ciliopathies. These include cystic kidneys, blindness, obesity, skeletal malformations, and other organ anomalies. Using a proximity biotinylation with Ift27 as bait, we identified the small guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) Rab34 as a ciliary protein. Rab34 localizes to the centrosomes near the mother centriole, the axoneme of developed cilia, and highly dynamic tubule structures in the centrosomal region. Rab34 is required for cilia formation in fibroblasts, where we find that Rab34 loss blocks ciliogenesis at an early step of ciliary vesicle formation. In inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD3) epithelial cells, the requirement is more complex, with Rab34 needed in cells grown at low density but becoming less important as cell density increases. Ciliogenesis can proceed by an internal pathway where cilia form in the cytoplasm before being displayed on the ciliary surface or cilia can assemble by an external pathway where the centriole docks on the plasma membrane before ciliary assembly. Fibroblasts are thought to use the internal pathway, although IMCD3 cells are thought to use the external pathway. However, we find that IMCD3 cells can use the internal assembly pathway and significant numbers of internally assembling cilia are observed in low-density cells. Together, our work indicates that Rab34 is required for internal assembly of cilia, but not for cilia built on the cell surface.

    Abstract Polycystic kidney disease is an inherited degenerative disease in which the uriniferous tubules are replaced by expanding fluid-filled cysts that ultimately destroy organ function. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common form, afflicting approximately 1 in 1,000 people and is caused by mutations in the transmembrane proteins polycystin-1 (Pkd1) and polycystin-2 (Pkd2). The mechanisms by which polycystin mutations induce cyst formation are not well understood, however pro-proliferative signaling must be involved for tubule epithelial cell number to increase over time. We recently found that the stress-activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway is activated in cystic disease and genetically removing JNK reduces cyst growth driven by a loss of Pkd2. This review covers the current state of knowledge of signaling in ADPKD with an emphasis on the JNK pathway.

    Abstract Microenvironmental signals produced during development or inflammation stimulate lymphatic endothelial cells to undergo lymphangiogenesis, in which they sprout, proliferate, and migrate to expand the vascular network. Many cell types detect changes in extracellular conditions via primary cilia, microtubule-based cellular protrusions that house specialized membrane receptors and signaling complexes. Primary cilia are critical for receipt of extracellular cues from both ligand-receptor pathways and physical forces such as fluid shear stress. Here, we report the presence of primary cilia on immortalized mouse and primary adult human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells
