Restoring multidrug resistance-associated protein 3 attenuates cell proliferation in the polycystic kidney.

چکیده
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by abnormal proliferation of renal tubular epithelial cells, resulting in the loss of renal function. Despite identification of the genes responsible for ADPKD, few effective drugs are currently available for the disease. Thus finding additional effective drug targets is necessary. The functions of multidrug- resistance-associated protein 3 (MRP3) have been reported only in the field of drug resistance, and the renal functions of MRP3 are mostly unknown. In this study, we found that MRP3 was significantly downregulated in kidneys of human patients with ADPKD and polycystic kidney disease (PKD) mouse models. Our results suggest that downregulated MRP3 stimulated renal epithelial cell proliferation through the B-Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway. In contrast, we found that restoring MRP3 reduced cell proliferation and cystogenesis in vitro. These results suggest that the renal function of MRP3 is related to renal cell proliferation and cyst formation and that restoring MRP3 may be an effective therapeutic approach for PKD.

Triptolide is a traditional Chinese medicine-derived inhibitor of polycystic kidney disease.
During kidney organogenesis, tubular epithelial cells proliferate until a functional tubule is formed as sensed by cilia bending in response to fluid flow. This flow-induced ciliary mechanosensation opens the calcium (Ca(2+)) channel polycystin-2 (PC2), resulting in a calcium flux-mediated cell cycle arrest. Loss or mutation of either PC2 or its regulatory protein polycystin-1 (PC1) results in ...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a complex phenomenon in which many different genes regulating drug transport, cellular repair, detoxification and drug metabolism are involved. Nevertheless, in most drug resistant cell lines and cancer patients up-regulation of ABC-transporter genes such as MDR associated Protein (MRP1) gene could be at the basis of the drug resistance phenotype. We aimed to decre...
متن کاملDifferential protein expression in Mycobacterium tuberculosis susceptible and multidrug resistant isolates
Introduction: Infections by multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a major public health challenge. Secretion of proteins by M. tuberculosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the bacterium. We compared the protein profiles of susceptible M. tuberculosis and MDR-TB isolates using proteomic analyses, namely two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) and mass spectr...
متن کاملGlycogen synthase kinase-3β promotes cyst expansion in polycystic kidney disease
Polycystic kidney diseases (PKDs) are inherited disorders characterized by the formation of fluid filled renal cysts. Elevated cAMP levels in PKDs stimulate progressive cyst enlargement involving cell proliferation and transepithelial fluid secretion often leading to end-stage renal disease. The glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3) family of protein kinases consists of GSK3α and GSK3β isoforms and...

Objective(s): Acquisition of TNF-α resistance plays role in the onset and growth of malignant tumors. Previous studies have demonstrated that MCF-7 cell line and its doxorubicin resistant variant MCF-7/Adr are resistant against the cytotoxic effects of TNF-α. In this study, we investigated the role of Akt activation in resistance of MCF-7 and MCF-7/Adr against TNF-α cytotoxicity. Materials and ...
