Planar cell polarity, ciliogenesis and neural tube defects.
Cilia are microtubule-based protrusions that are found on the surface of most vertebrate cells. Long studied by cell biologists, these organelles have recently caught the attention of developmental biologists and human geneticists. In this review, I will discuss recent findings suggesting a link between cilia and the planar cell polarity signaling cascade. In particular, I will focus on how thi...
متن کاملWnt and planar cell polarity signaling in cystic renal disease
Cystic kidney diseases can cause end stage renal disease, affecting millions of individuals worldwide. They may arise early or later in life, are characterized by a spectrum of symptoms and can be caused by diverse genetic defects. The primary cilium, a microtubule-based organelle that can serve as a signaling antenna, has been demonstrated to have a significant role in ensuring correct kidney ...
متن کاملPlanar cell polarity in Drosophila.
In all multicellular organisms, epithelial cells are not only polarized along the apical-basal axis, but also within the epithelial plane, giving cells a sense of direction. Planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling regulates establishment of polarity within the plane of an epithelium. The outcomes of PCP signaling are diverse and include the determination of cell fates, the generation of asymmetric...
متن کاملPlanar cell polarity: fashioning solutions.
Scientists like to consider themselves as especially objective, but, however hard we try we cannot be very different from everyone else. Like them we helplessly absorb our knowledge, our perspectives, our valuation of whether something is exciting or boring from those around us. In this "extra view" I reflect on fashion, illustrating by a small discovery of ours, and discussing why it was not m...
متن کاملAberrant regulation of planar cell polarity in polycystic kidney disease.
Mutations in PKD1, which encodes polycystin-1 (PC1), contribute to >85% of cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway is necessary for the oriented cell division and convergent extension that establishes and maintains the structure of kidney tubules, but the role of this pathway in the pathophysiology of ADPKD is incompletely understood...
