Planar cell polarity and the kidney
Planar cell polarity (PCP) is the uniform orientation and alignment of a group of cells orthogonal to the apical-basal axis within a tissue. Originally described in insects, it is now known that PCP is required for many processes in vertebrates, including directional cell movement, polarized cell division, ciliary orientation, neural tube closure, heart development and lung branching. In this r...

to the brain and receive high-order commands and inputs from it. That is, much of the planning, computation and execution of stereotypic arm movements are conducted within the arm neural system itself. Accordingly, natural-looking arm extension movements can be generated in amputated arms. This organization may be an optimal solution for the motor control of highly redundant flexible appendages...
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...
متن کاملPlanar Cell Polarity Signaling Pathway in Congenital Heart Diseases
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common cardiac disorder in humans. Despite many advances in the understanding of CHD and the identification of many associated genes, the fundamental etiology for the majority of cases remains unclear. The planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway, responsible for tissue polarity in Drosophila and gastrulation movements and cardiogenesis in vertebrates, ha...
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...
