Book cover Polycystic Kidney Disease

Abstract

The primary cilium is a nearly ubiquitous microtubule-based structure present on most mammalian cell types. The exact function of the primary cilium in the kidney is still being assessed, but data indicate that it is an important signaling and sensory center. The cilium allows cells to respond to external environmental cues by regulating a wide range of pathways, and the cilium has been implicated as a mechanosensor detecting fluid movement across the surface of cells. Pathways currently associated with the cilium include hedgehog, Jak/Stat, mTOR, purinergic, and planar cell polarity. The clinical importance of the cilium is evident by data showing that mutations in many ciliary proteins cause a group of disorders collectively called the ciliopathies, the most common of which is polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Patients with ciliopathies frequently exhibit cystic kidney and liver disease, but can also present with a wide spectrum of phenotypes and developmental defects. Currently it is unknown which of the many ciliary pathways are responsible for the development of cyst pathology. This chapter will discuss the current understanding of the role that primary cilia have in the kidney and models of how disruption of ciliary functions may contribute to cystogenesis.
