Abstract
Crotonylation is an importantly conserved post-translational modification, which is completely different from acetylation. In recent years, it has been confirmed that crotonylation occurs on histone and non-histone. Crotonylated Histone primarily affects gene expression through transcriptional regulation, while non-histone Crotonylation mainly regulates protein functions including protein activity, localization, and stability, as well as protein-protein interactions. The change in protein expression and function will affect the physiological process of cells and even cause disease. Reviewing previous studies, this article summarizes the mechanisms of histone and non-histone crotonylation in regulating diseases and cellular physiological processes to explore the possibility of precise regulation of crotonylation sites as potential targets for disease treatment.

Improved predictions of total kidney volume growth rate in ADPKD using two-parameter least squares fitting. Sci Rep 2024; 14:13794.

Abstract
Mayo Imaging Classification (MIC) for predicting future kidney growth in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients is calculated from a single MRI/CT scan assuming exponential kidney volume growth and height-adjusted total kidney volume at birth to be 150 mL/m. However, when multiple scans are available, how this information should be combined to improve prediction accuracy is unclear. Herein, we studied ADPKD subjects ( n = 36 ) with 8+ years imaging follow-up (mean = 11 years) to establish ground truth kidney growth trajectory. MIC annual kidney growth rate predictions were compared to ground truth as well as 1- and 2-parameter least squares fitting. The annualized mean absolute error in MIC for predicting total kidney volume growth rate was 2.1 % ± 2 % compared to 1.1 % ± 1 % ( p = 0.002 ) for a 2-parameter fit to the same exponential growth curve used for MIC when 4 measurements were available or 1.4 % ± 1 % ( p = 0.01 ) with 3 measurements averaging together with MIC. On univariate analysis, male sex ( p = 0.05 ) and PKD2 mutation ( p = 0.04 ) were associated with poorer MIC performance. In ADPKD patients with 3 or more CT/MRI scans, 2-parameter least squares fitting predicted kidney volume growth rate better than MIC, especially in males and with PKD2 mutations where MIC was less accurate.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic kidney disease with high phenotypic variability. Furthering insights into patients' ADPKD progression could lead to earlier detection, management, and alter the course to end stage kidney disease (ESKD). We sought to identify patients with rapid decline (RD) in kidney function and to determine clinical factors associated with RD using a data-driven approach. A retrospective cohort study was performed among patients with incident ADPKD (1/1/2002-12/31/2018). Latent class mixed models were used to identify RD patients using differences in eGFR trajectories over time. Predictors of RD were selected based on agreements among feature selection methods, including logistic, regularized, and random forest modeling. The final model was built on the selected predictors and clinically relevant covariates. Among 1,744 patients with incident ADPKD, 125 (7%) were identified as RD. Feature selection included 42 clinical measurements for adaptation with multiple imputations; mean (SD) eGFR was 85.2 (47.3) and 72.9 (34.4) in the RD and non-RD groups, respectively. Multiple imputed datasets identified variables as important features to distinguish RD and non-RD groups with the final prediction model determined as a balance between area under the curve (AUC) and clinical relevance which included 6 predictors: age, sex, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, hemoglobin, and proteinuria. Results showed 72%-sensitivity, 70%-specificity, 70%-accuracy, and 0.77-AUC in identifying RD. 5-year ESKD rates were 38% and 7% among RD and non-RD groups, respectively. Using real-world routine clinical data among patients with incident ADPKD, we observed that six variables highly predicted RD in kidney function.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common monogenic kidney disease. Emerging research indicates that the Notch signaling pathway plays an indispensable role in the pathogenesis of numerous kidney diseases, including ADPKD. Herein, we identified that Notch3 but not other Notch receptors was overexpressed in renal tissues from mice with ADPKD and ADPKD patients. Inhibiting Notch3 with γ-secretase inhibitors, which block a proteolytic cleavage required for Notch3 activation, or shRNA knockdown of Notch3 significantly delayed renal cyst growth in vitro and in vivo. Subsequent mechanistic study elucidated that the cleaved intracellular domain of Notch3 (N3ICD) and Hes1 could bind to the PTEN promoter, leading to transcriptional inhibition of PTEN. This further activated the downstream PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway and promoted renal epithelial cell proliferation. Overall, Notch3 was identified as a novel contributor to renal epithelial cell proliferation and cystogenesis in ADPKD. We envision that Notch3 represents a promising target for ADPKD treatment.

Abstract
WT 9-12 is one of the cell lines commonly used for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) studies. Previous studies had described the PKD gene mutations and polycystin expression in WT 9-12. Nonetheless, the mutations occurring in other ADPKD-associated genes have not been investigated. This study aims to revisit these mutations and protein profile of WT 9-12. Whole genome sequencing verified the presence of truncation mutation at amino acid 2556 (Q2556X) in PKD1 gene of WT 9-12. Besides, those variations with high impacts included single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs8054182, rs117006360, and rs12925771) and insertions and deletions (InDels) (rs145602984 and rs55980345) in PKD1L2; InDel (rs1296698195) in PKD1L3; and copy number variations in GANAB. Protein profiles generated from the total proteins of WT 9-12 and HK-2 cells were compared using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) analysis. Polycystin-1 was absent in WT 9-12. The gene ontology enrichment and reactome pathway analyses revealed that the upregulated and downregulated proteins of WT 9-12 relative to HK-2 cell line leaded to signaling pathways related to immune response and amino acid metabolism, respectively. The ADPKD-related mutations and signaling pathways associated with differentially expressed proteins in WT 9-12 may help researchers in cell line selection for their studies.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by numerous renal cysts, the progressive expansion of which can impact kidney function and lead eventually to renal failure. Tolvaptan is the only disease-modifying drug approved for the treatment of ADPKD, however its poor side effect and safety profile necessitates the need for the development of new therapeutics in this area. Using a combination of transcriptomic and machine learning computational drug discovery tools, we predicted that a number of existing drugs could have utility in the treatment of ADPKD, and subsequently validated several of these drug predictions in established models of disease. We determined that the anthelmintic mebendazole was a potent anti-cystic agent in human cellular and in vivo models of ADPKD, and is likely acting through the inhibition of microtubule polymerisation and protein kinase activity. These findings demonstrate the utility of combining computational approaches to identify and understand potential new treatments for traditionally underserved rare diseases.

Abstract
Abdominal imaging of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has historically focused on detecting complications such as cyst rupture, cyst infection, obstructing renal calculi, and pyelonephritis; discriminating complex cysts from renal cell carcinoma; and identifying sources of abdominal pain. Many imaging features of ADPKD are incompletely evaluated or not deemed to be clinically significant, and because of this, treatment options are limited. However, total kidney volume (TKV) measurement has become important for assessing the risk of disease progression (i.e., Mayo Imaging Classification) and predicting tolvaptan treatment's efficacy. Deep learning for segmenting the kidneys has improved these measurements' speed, accuracy, and reproducibility. Deep learning models can also segment other organs and tissues, extracting additional biomarkers to characterize the extent to which extrarenal manifestations complicate ADPKD. In this concept paper, we demonstrate how deep learning may be applied to measure the TKV and how it can be extended to measure additional features of this disease.

Abstract
The disruption of calcium signaling associated with polycystin deficiency has been proposed as the primary event underlying the increased abnormally patterned epithelial cell growth characteristic of Polycystic Kidney Disease. Calcium can be regulated through mechanotransduction, and the mechanosensitive cation channel Piezo1 has been implicated in sensing of intrarenal pressure and in urinary osmoregulation. However, a possible role for PIEZO1 in kidney cystogenesis remains undefined. We hypothesized that cystogenesis in ADPKD reflects altered mechanotransduction, suggesting activation of mechanosensitive cation channels as a therapeutic strategy for ADPKD. Here, we show that Yoda-1 activation of PIEZO1 increases intracellular Ca 2+ and reduces forskolin-induced cAMP levels in mIMCD3 cells. Yoda-1 reduced forskolin-induced IMCD cyst surface area in vitro and in mouse metanephros ex vivo in a dose-dependent manner. Knockout of polycystin-2 dampened the efficacy of PIEZO1 activation in reducing both cAMP levels and cyst surface area in IMCD3 cells. However, collecting duct-specific Piezo1 knockout neither induced cystogenesis in wild-type mice nor affected cystogenesis in the Pkd1 RC/RC model of ADPKD. Our study suggests that polycystin-2 and PIEZO1 play a role in mechanotransduction during cystogenesis in vitro , and ex vivo , but that in vivo cyst expansion may require inactivation or repression of additional suppressors of cystogenesis and/or growth. Our study provides a preliminary proof of concept for PIEZO1 activation as a possible component of combination chemotherapy to retard or halt cystogenesis and/or cyst growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) are major genetic polycystic kidney diseases that can progress to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Longitudinal data on the clinical characteristics associated with clinical outcomes in polycystic kidney disease (PKD), including the development of ESKD and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are lacking in Japan. To address this unmet need the authors are establishing a novel, web-based, Nationwide Cohort Registry Study-the Japanese Registry of PKD (JRP). METHODS The JRP is a prospective cohort study for ADPKD (aim to recruit n = 1000 patients), and both a retrospective and prospective study for ARPKD (aim to recruit n = 100). In the prospective registry, patients will be followed-up for 10 years every 6 months and 12 months for patients with ADPKD and ARPKD, respectively. Data collection will be recorded on Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) starting on April 1, 2024, with recruitment ending on March 31, 2029. (jRCT 1030230618). RESULTS Data to be collected include: baseline data, demographics, diagnostic and genetic information, radiological and laboratory findings, and therapeutic interventions. During follow-up, clinical events such as development of ESKD, hospitalization, occurrence of extra kidney complications including CVD events, and death will be recorded, as well as patient-reported health-related quality of life for patients with ADPKD. CONCLUSIONS The JRP is the first nationwide registry study for patients with ADPKD and ARPKD in Japan, providing researchers with opportunities to advance knowledge and treatments for ADPKD and ARPKD, and to inform disease management and future clinical practice.

Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that histone deacetylases (HDACs) are important regulators of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). In the present study, a series of benzothiazole-bearing compounds were designed and synthesized as potential HDAC inhibitors. Given the multiple participation of HDACs in ADPKD cyst progression, we embarked on a targeted screen using HeLa nuclear extracts to identify potent pan-HDAC inhibitors. Compound 26 emerged as the most efficacious candidate. Subsequent pharmacological characterization showed that compound 26 effectively inhibits several HDACs, notably HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC6 (IC50 < 150 nM), displaying a particularly high sensitivity towards HDAC6 (IC50 = 11 nM). The selected compound significantly prevented cyst formation and expansion in an in vitro cyst model and was efficacious in reducing cyst growth in both an embryonic kidney cyst model and an in vivo ADPKD mouse model. Our results provided compelling evidence that compound 26 represents a new HDAC inhibitor for the treatment of ADPKD.

Abstract
Autosomal polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic form of kidney failure, reflecting unmet needs in management. Prescription of the only approved treatment (tolvaptan) is limited to persons with rapidly progressing ADPKD. Rapid progression may be diagnosed by assessing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline, usually estimated (eGFR) from equations based on serum creatinine (eGFRcr) or cystatin-C (eGFRcys). We have assessed the concordance between eGFR decline and identification of rapid progression (rapid eGFR loss), and measured GFR (mGFR) declines (rapid mGFR loss) using iohexol clearance in 140 adults with ADPKD with ≥3 mGFR and eGFRcr assessments, of which 97 also had eGFRcys assessments. The agreement between mGFR and eGFR decline was poor: mean concordance correlation coefficients (CCCs) between the method declines were low (0.661, range 0.628 to 0.713), and Bland and Altman limits of agreement between eGFR and mGFR declines were wide. CCC was lower for eGFRcys. From a practical point of view, creatinine-based formulas failed to detect rapid mGFR loss (-3 mL/min/y or faster) in around 37% of the cases. Moreover, formulas falsely indicated around 40% of the cases with moderate or stable decline as rapid progressors. The reliability of formulas in detecting real mGFR decline was lower in the non-rapid-progressors group with respect to that in rapid-progressor patients. The performance of eGFRcys and eGFRcr-cys equations was even worse. In conclusion, eGFR decline may misrepresent mGFR decline in ADPKD in a significant percentage of patients, potentially misclassifying them as progressors or non-progressors and impacting decisions of initiation of tolvaptan therapy.

Abstract
Key Points Water therapy in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) reduces urine osmolality and serum copeptin level, a marker of vasopressin activity. Water therapy reduces the ADPKD kidney growth rate indicating it is slowing disease progression. Patients with ADPKD are less likely to report pain on water therapy. Background In animal models of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), high water intake (HWI) decreases vasopressin secretion and slows disease progression, but the efficacy of HWI in human ADPKD is uncertain. Methods This exploratory, prospective, cross-over study of patients with ADPKD (N =7) evaluated the hypothesis that HWI slows the rate of increase in height-adjusted total kidney volume (ht-TKV; a biomarker for ADPKD progression) and reduces pain. Patients at high risk of ADPKD progression (i.e ., Mayo Imaging Classifications 1C/1D) were evaluated during 6 months of usual water intake (UWI), followed by 12 months of HWI calculated to reduce urine osmolality (Uosm) to <285 mOsm/kg. Measurements of Uosm, serum copeptin (secreted in equimolar amounts with vasopressin), magnetic resonance imaging measurements of ht-TKV, and pain survey responses were compared between HWI and UWI. Results During HWI, mean 24-hour Uosm decreased compared with UWI (428 [398–432] mOsm/kg versus 209 [190–223] mOsm/kg; P = 0.01), indicating adherence to the protocol. Decreases during HWI also occurred in levels of serum copeptin (5.8±2.0 to 4.2±1.6 pmol/L; P = 0.03), annualized rate of increase in ht-TKV (6.8% [5.9–8.5] to 4.4% [3.0–5.0]; P < 0.02), and pain occurrence and pain interference during sleep (P < 0.01). HWI was well tolerated. Conclusions HWI in patients at risk of rapid progression of ADPKD slowed the rate of ht-TKV growth and reduced pain. This suggests that suppressing vasopressin levels by HWI provides an effective nonpharmacologic treatment of ADPKD.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by kidney cyst formation and progressive kidney function loss. Dietary interventions such as caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, and ketogenic diet have recently emerged as potential strategies to induce metabolic reprogramming and slow ADPKD progression. We review the available evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of these interventions in ADPKD. Dietary interventions show promise in managing ADPKD by improving metabolic health and reducing oxidative stress. However, while preclinical studies have shown favorable outcomes, limited clinical evidence supports their effectiveness. In addition, the long-term consequences of these dietary interventions, including their effect on adverse events in patients with ADPKD, remain uncertain. To optimize ADPKD management, patients are advised to follow a dietary regimen that aims to achieve or maintain an ideal body weight and includes high fluid intake, low sodium, and limited concentrated sweets. Caloric restriction seems particularly beneficial for patients with overweight or obesity because it promotes weight loss and improves metabolic parameters. Supplementation with curcumin, ginkgolide B, saponins, vitamin E, niacinamide, or triptolide has demonstrated uncertain clinical benefit in patients with ADPKD. Notably, β -hydroxybutyrate supplements have shown promise in animal models; however, their safety and efficacy in ADPKD require further evaluation through well-designed clinical trials. Therefore, the use of these supplements is not currently recommended for patients with ADPKD. In summary, dietary interventions such as caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, and ketogenic diet hold promise in ADPKD management by enhancing metabolic health. However, extensive clinical research is necessary to establish their effectiveness and long-term effects. Adhering to personalized dietary guidelines, including weight management and specific nutritional restrictions, can contribute to optimal ADPKD management. Future research should prioritize well-designed clinical trials to determine the benefits and safety of dietary interventions and supplementation in ADPKD.

Abstract
Thousands of pathogenic variants in more than 100 genes can cause kidney cysts with substantial variability in phenotype and risk of subsequent kidney failure. Despite an established genotype-phenotype correlation in cystic kidney diseases, incomplete penetrance and variable disease expressivity are present as is the case in all monogenic diseases. In family members with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the same causal variant is responsible in all affected family members; however, there can still be striking discordance in phenotype severity. This narrative review explores contributors to within-family discordance in ADPKD severity. Cases of biallelic and digenic inheritance, where 2 rare pathogenic variants in cystogenic genes are coexistent in one family, account for a small proportion of within-family discordance. Genetic background, including cis and trans factors and the polygenic propensity for comorbid disease, also plays a role but has not yet been exhaustively quantified. Environmental exposures, including diet; smoking; alcohol, salt, and protein intake, and comorbid diseases, including obesity, diabetes, hypertension, kidney stones, dyslipidemia, and additional coexistent kidney diseases all contribute to ADPKD phenotypic variability among family members. Given that many of the factors contributing to phenotype variability are preventable, modifiable, or treatable, health care providers and patients need to be aware of these factors and address them in the treatment of ADPKD.

Abstract
Mouse models of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) show that intact primary cilia are required for cyst growth following the inactivation of polycystin-1. The signaling pathways underlying this process, termed cilia-dependent cyst activation (CDCA), remain unknown. Using translating ribosome affinity purification RNASeq on mouse kidneys with polycystin-1 and cilia inactivation before cyst formation, we identify the differential 'CDCA pattern' translatome specifically dysregulated in kidney tubule cells destined to form cysts. From this, Glis2 emerges as a candidate functional effector of polycystin signaling and CDCA. In vitro changes in Glis2 expression mirror the polycystin- and cilia-dependent changes observed in kidney tissue, validating Glis2 as a cell culture-based indicator of polycystin function related to cyst formation. Inactivation of Glis2 suppresses polycystic kidney disease in mouse models of ADPKD, and pharmacological targeting of Glis2 with antisense oligonucleotides slows disease progression. Glis2 transcript and protein is a functional target of CDCA and a potential therapeutic target for treating ADPKD.

Abstract
Renal ciliopathies are a common cause of kidney failure in children and adults, and this study reviewed their ocular associations. Genes affected in renal ciliopathies were identified from the Genomics England Panels. Ocular associations were identified from Medline and OMIM, and the genes additionally examined for expression in the human retina ( https://www.proteinatlas.org/humanproteome/tissue ) and for an ocular phenotype in mouse models ( http://www.informatics.jax.org/ ). Eighty-two of the 86 pediatric-onset renal ciliopathies (95%) have an ocular phenotype, including inherited retinal degeneration, oculomotor disorders, and coloboma. Diseases associated with pathogenic variants in ANK6, MAPKBP1, NEK8, and TCTN1 have no reported ocular manifestations, as well as low retinal expression and no ocular features in mouse models. Ocular abnormalities are not associated with the most common adult-onset "cystic" kidney diseases, namely, autosomal dominant (AD) polycystic kidney disease and the AD tubulointerstitial kidney diseases (ADTKD). However, other kidney syndromes with cysts have ocular features including papillorenal syndrome (optic disc dysplasia), Hereditary Angiopathy Nephropathy, Aneurysms and muscle Cramps (HANAC) (tortuous retinal vessels), tuberous sclerosis (retinal hamartomas), von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (retinal hemangiomas), and Alport syndrome (lenticonus, fleck retinopathy). Ocular abnormalities are associated with many pediatric-onset renal ciliopathies but are uncommon in adult-onset cystic kidney disease. However the demonstration of ocular manifestations may be helpful diagnostically and the features may require monitoring or treatment.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of ADPKD in Taiwan remains unavailable. In this consensus statement, we summarize updated information on clinical features of international and domestic patients with ADPKD, followed by suggestions for optimal diagnosis and care in Taiwan. Specifically, counselling for at-risk minors and reproductive issues can be important, including ethical dilemmas surrounding prenatal diagnosis and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. Studies reveal that ADPKD typically remains asymptomatic until the fourth decade of life, with symptoms resulting from cystic expansion with visceral compression, or rupture. The diagnosis can be made based on a detailed family history, followed by imaging studies (ultrasound, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging). Genetic testing is reserved for atypical cases mostly. Common tools for prognosis prediction include total kidney volume, Mayo classification and PROPKD/genetic score. Screening and management of complications such as hypertension, proteinuria, urological infections, intracranial aneurysms, are also crucial for improving outcome. We suggest that the optimal management strategies of patients with ADPKD include general medical care, dietary recommendations and ADPKD-specific treatments. Key points include rigorous blood pressure control, dietary sodium restriction and Tolvaptan use, whereas the evidence for somatostatin analogues and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors remains limited. In summary, we outline an individualized care plan emphasizing careful monitoring of disease progression and highlight the need for shared decision-making among these patients.

Abstract
An accurate prognosis of renal function decline in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is crucial for early intervention. Current biomarkers used are height-adjusted total kidney volume (HtTKV), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and patient age. However, manually measuring kidney volume is time-consuming and subject to observer variability. Additionally, incorporating automatically generated features from kidney MRI images, along with conventional biomarkers, can enhance prognostic improvement. To address these issues, we developed two deep-learning algorithms. Firstly, an automated kidney volume segmentation model accurately calculates HtTKV. Secondly, we utilize segmented kidney volumes, predicted HtTKV, age, and baseline eGFR to predict chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages >=3A, >=3B, and a 30% decline in eGFR after 8 years from the baseline visit. Our approach combines a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a multi-layer perceptron (MLP). Our study included 135 subjects and the AUC scores obtained were 0.96, 0.96, and 0.95 for CKD stages >=3A, >=3B, and a 30% decline in eGFR, respectively. Furthermore, our algorithm achieved a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.81 between predicted and measured eGFR decline. We extended our approach to predict distinct CKD stages after eight years with an AUC of 0.97. The proposed approach has the potential to enhance monitoring and facilitate prognosis in ADPKD patients, even in the early disease stages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dysregulated energy metabolism is a recently discovered key feature of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Cystic cells depend on glucose and are poorly able to use other energy sources such as ketone bodies. Raising ketone body concentration reduced disease progression in animal models of polycystic kidney diseases. Therefore, we hypothesized that higher endogenous plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentrations are associated with reduced disease progression in patients with ADPKD. METHODS We analyzed data from 670 patients with ADPKD participating in the Developing Intervention Strategies to Halt Progression of ADPKD (DIPAK) cohort, a multi-center prospective observational cohort study. BHB was measured at baseline using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Participants were excluded if they had type 2 diabetes, were using disease-modifying drugs (e.g. tolvaptan, somatostatin analogs), were not fasting or had missing BHB levels, leaving 521 participants for the analyses. Linear regression analyses were used to study cross-sectional associations and linear mixed-effect modeling for longitudinal associations. RESULTS Of the participants, 61% were female, with an age of 47.3 ± 11.8 years, a height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV) of 834 [interquartile range (IQR) 495-1327] mL/m and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 63.3 ± 28.9 mL/min/1.73 m2. The median concentration of BHB was 94 (IQR 68-147) µmol/L. Cross-sectionally, BHB was associated neither with eGFR nor with htTKV. Longitudinally, BHB was positively associated with eGFR slope {B = 0.35 mL/min/1.73 m2 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.09 to 0.61], P = .007}, but not with kidney growth. After adjustment for potential confounders, every doubling in BHB concentration was associated with an improvement in the annual rate of eGFR by 0.33 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI 0.09 to 0.57, P = .008). CONCLUSION These observational analyses support the hypothesis that interventions that raise BHB concentration could reduce the rate of kidney function decline in patients with ADPKD.

Abstract
The dysregulated intracellular cAMP in the kidneys drives cystogenesis and progression in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Mounting evidence supports that vasopressin V2 receptor (V2R) antagonism effectively reduces cAMP levels, validating this receptor as a therapeutic target. Tolvaptan, an FDA-approved V2R antagonist, shows limitations in its clinical efficacy for ADPKD treatment. Therefore, the pursuit of better-in-class V2R antagonists with an improved efficacy remains pressing. Herein, we synthesized a set of peptide V2R antagonists. Peptide 33 exhibited a high binding affinity for the V2R (Ki = 6.1 ± 1.5 nM) and an extended residence time of 20 ± 1 min, 2-fold that of tolvaptan. This prolonged interaction translated into sustained suppression of cAMP production in washout experiments. Furthermore, peptide 33 exhibited improved efficacies over tolvaptan in both ex vivo and in vivo models of ADPKD, underscoring its potential as a promising lead compound for the treatment of ADPKD.

Abstract
The transcription factor farnesoid X receptor (FXR) regulates energy metabolism. Specifically, FXR functions to regulate cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)-mediated Cl- secretion in intestinal epithelial cells. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of FXR in CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion in renal tubular cells and to further elucidate its effects on renal cyst formation and growth. CFTR-mediated Cl- transport was evaluated via short-circuit current (ISC) measurements in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell monolayers and primary rat inner medullary collecting duct cells. The role of FXR in renal cyst formation and growth was determined by the MDCK cell-derived cyst model. Incubation with synthesized (GW4064) and endogenous (CDCA) FXR ligands reduced CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of FXR ligands was not due to the result of reduced cell viability and was attenuated by cotreatment with an FXR antagonist. FXR activation significantly decreased CFTR protein but not its mRNA. In addition, FXR activation inhibited CFTR-mediated Cl- secretion in primary renal collecting duct cells. FXR activation decreased ouabain-sensitive ISC without altering Na+-K+-ATPase mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, FXR activation significantly reduced the number of cysts and renal cyst expansion. These inhibitory effects were correlated with a decrease in the expression of protein synthesis regulators mammalian target of rapamycin/S6 kinase. This study shows that FXR activation inhibits Cl- secretion in renal cells via inhibition of CFTR expression and retards renal cyst formation and growth. The discoveries point to a physiological role of FXR in the regulation of CFTR and a potential therapeutic application in polycystic kidney disease treatment.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The present study reveals that farnesoid X receptor (FXR) activation reduces microcyst formation and enlargement. This inhibitory effect of FXR activation is involved with decreased cell proliferation and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-mediated Cl- secretion in renal collecting duct cells. FXR might represent a novel target for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Abstract
Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease is a prevalent genetic disorder characterized by the development of renal cysts, leading to kidney enlargement and renal failure. Accurate measurement of total kidney volume through polycystic kidney segmentation is crucial to assess disease severity, predict progression and evaluate treatment effects. Traditional manual segmentation suffers from intra- and inter-expert variability, prompting the exploration of automated approaches. In recent years, convolutional neural networks have been employed for polycystic kidney segmentation from magnetic resonance images. However, the use of Transformer-based models, which have shown remarkable performance in a wide range of computer vision and medical image analysis tasks, remains unexplored in this area. With their self-attention mechanism, Transformers excel in capturing global context information, which is crucial for accurate organ delineations. In this paper, we evaluate and compare various convolutional-based, Transformers-based, and hybrid convolutional/Transformers-based networks for polycystic kidney segmentation. Additionally, we propose a dual-task learning scheme, where a common feature extractor is followed by per-kidney decoders, towards better generalizability and efficiency. We extensively evaluate various architectures and learning schemes on a heterogeneous magnetic resonance imaging dataset collected from 112 patients with polycystic kidney disease. Our results highlight the effectiveness of Transformer-based models for polycystic kidney segmentation and the relevancy of exploiting dual-task learning to improve segmentation accuracy and mitigate data scarcity issues. A promising ability in accurately delineating polycystic kidneys is especially shown in the presence of heterogeneous cyst distributions and adjacent cyst-containing organs. This work contribute to the advancement of reliable delineation methods in nephrology, paving the way for a broad spectrum of clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The only treatment proven to be renoprotective in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist (V2RA). However, aquaresis-associated side effects limit tolerability. We investigated whether salt and/or protein intake influences urine volume and related endpoints in V2RA-treated ADPKD patients. METHODS In this randomized, controlled, double-blind, crossover trial, ADPKD patients treated with maximally tolerated dose of a V2RA were included. While on a low salt and low protein diet, patients were given additional salt and protein to mimic regular intake, which was subsequently replaced by placebo in random order during four 2-week periods. Primary endpoint was change in 24-h urine volume. Secondary endpoints were change in quality of life, measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR), blood pressure and copeptin level. RESULTS Twelve patients (49 ± 8 years, 25.0% male) were included. Baseline salt and protein intake were 10.8 ± 1.3 g/24-h and 1.2 ± 0.2 g/kg/24-h, respectively. During the low salt and low protein treatment periods, intake decreased to 5.8 ± 1.6 g/24-h and 0.8 ± 0.1 g/kg/24-h, respectively. Baseline 24-h urine volume (5.9 ± 1.2 L) decreased to 5.2 ± 1.1 L (-11%, P = .004) on low salt and low protein, and to 5.4 ± 0.9 L (-8%, P = .04) on low salt. Reduction in 24-h urine volume was two times greater in patients with lower urine osmolality (-16% vs -7%). Polyuria quality of life scores improved in concordance with changes in urine volume. mGFR decreased during the low salt and low protein, while mean arterial pressure did not change during study periods. Plasma copeptin decreased significantly during low salt and low protein periods. CONCLUSION Lowering dietary salt and protein intake has a minor effect on urine volume in V2RA-treated ADPKD patients. Reduced intake of osmoles decreased copeptin concentrations and might thus increase the renoprotective effect of a V2RA in ADPKD patients.

Quantitative susceptibility mapping for detection of kidney stones, hemorrhage differentiation, and cyst classification in ADPKD. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024:10.1007/s00261-024-04243-6. [PMID: 38530430 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-024-04243-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The objective is to demonstrate feasibility of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) patients and to compare imaging findings with traditional T1/T2w magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Thirty-three consecutive patients (11 male, 22 female) diagnosed with ADPKD were initially selected. QSM images were reconstructed from the multiecho gradient echo data and compared to co-registered T2w, T1w, and CT images. Complex cysts were identified and classified into distinct subclasses based on their imaging features. Prevalence of each subclass was estimated. RESULTS QSM visualized two renal calcifications measuring 9 and 10 mm and three pelvic phleboliths measuring 2 mm but missed 24 calcifications measuring 1 mm or less and 1 larger calcification at the edge of the field of view. A total of 121 complex T1 hyperintense/T2 hypointense renal cysts were detected. 52 (43%) Cysts appeared hyperintense on QSM consistent with hemorrhage; 60 (49%) cysts were isointense with respect to simple cysts and normal kidney parenchyma, while the remaining 9 (7%) were hypointense. The presentation of the latter two complex cyst subtypes is likely indicative of proteinaceous composition without hemorrhage. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that QSM of ADPKD kidneys is possible and uniquely suited to detect large renal calculi without ionizing radiation and able to identify properties of complex cysts unattainable with traditional approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common genetic cause of kidney disease. It is a progressive and irreversible condition that can lead to end-stage renal disease and many other visceral complications. Current comprehensive data on PKD patterns in Africa is lacking. AIM To describe the prevalence and outcomes of PKD in the African population. METHODS A literature search of PubMed, African journal online, and Google Scholar databases between 2000 and 2023 was performed. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were followed to design the study. Clinical presentations and outcomes of patients were extracted from the included studies. RESULTS Out of 106 articles, we included 13 studies from 7 African countries. Ten of them were retrospective descriptive studies concerning 943 PKD patients with a mean age of 47.9 years. The accurate prevalence and incidence of PKD were not known but it represented the third causal nephropathy among dialysis patients. In majority of patients, the diagnosis of the disease was often delayed. Kidney function impairment, abdominal mass, and hypertension were the leading symptoms at presentation with a pooled prevalence of 72.1% (69.1-75.1), 65.8% (62.2-69.4), and 57.4% (54.2-60.6) respectively. Hematuria and infections were the most frequent complications. Genotyping was performed in few studies that revealed a high proportion of new mutations mainly in the PKD1 gene. CONCLUSION The prevalence of PKD in African populations is not clearly defined. Clinical symptoms were almost present with most patients who had kidney function impairment and abdominal mass at the diagnostic. Larger studies including genetic testing are needed to determine the burden of PKD in African populations.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common hereditary kidney disease, accounts for approximately 10% of the patients on kidney transplantation waitlists. High rates of complications including hemorrhage, infections, nephrolithiasis and kidney size-related compressive complaints have been reported among ADPKD patients. Therefore, the need for routine native nephrectomy and timing of such procedure in ADPKD patients being prepared for transplantation are debated. Even though pre-transplant nephrectomy has the potential to provide fewer infectious complications due to lack of immunosuppressive medication use, such procedure has been associated with longer hospital stay, loss of residual kidney function and need for dialysis. Although simultaneous nephrectomy and transplantation could potentially lead to longer perioperative duration, perioperative complications and need for blood transfusions, this was not confirmed in cohort studies. Therefore, some institutions routinely perform simultaneous unilateral nephrectomy and kidney transplantation. In this narrative review, our aim is to evaluate the current evidence regarding the need and timing of nephrectomy in ADPKD patients in relation to kidney transplantation.

Abstract
The importance of P-stereogenic heterocycles has been widely recognized with their extensive use as privileged chiral ligands and bioactive compounds. The catalytic asymmetric synthesis of P-stereogenic phosphindane derivatives, however, remains a challenging task. Herein, we report a catalytic kinetic resolution of phosphindole oxides via rhodium-catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective conjugate addition to access enantiopure P-stereogenic phosphindane and phosphindole derivatives. This kinetic resolution method features high efficiency (s factor up to >1057), excellent stereoselectivities (all >20:1 dr, up to >99% ee), and a broad substrate scope. The obtained chiral phosphindane oxides exhibit promising therapeutic efficacy in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), and compound 3az is found to significantly inhibit renal cyst growth both in vitro and in vivo, thus ushering in a promising scaffold for ADPKD drug discovery. This study will not only advance efforts towards the asymmetric synthesis of challenging P-stereogenic heterocycles, but also surely inspire further development of P-stereogenic entities for bioactive small-molecule discovery.

Matrix Metalloproteinase-7 in Urinary Extracellular Vesicles Identifies Rapid Disease Progression in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease. J Am Soc Nephrol 2024; 35:321-334.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT There is an unmet need for biomarkers of disease progression in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). This study investigated urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) as a source of such biomarkers. Proteomic analysis of uEVs identified matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP-7) as a biomarker predictive of rapid disease progression. In validation studies, MMP-7 was predictive in uEVs but not in whole urine, possibly because uEVs are primarily secreted by tubular epithelial cells. Indeed, single-nucleus RNA sequencing showed that MMP-7 was especially increased in proximal tubule and thick ascending limb cells, which were further characterized by a profibrotic phenotype. Together, these data suggest that MMP-7 is a biologically plausible and promising uEV biomarker for rapid disease progression in ADPKD. BACKGROUND In ADPKD, there is an unmet need for early markers of rapid disease progression to facilitate counseling and selection for kidney-protective therapy. Our aim was to identify markers for rapid disease progression in uEVs. METHODS Six paired case-control groups ( n =10-59/group) of cases with rapid disease progression and controls with stable disease were formed from two independent ADPKD cohorts, with matching by age, sex, total kidney volume, and genetic variant. Candidate uEV biomarkers were identified by mass spectrometry and further analyzed using immunoblotting and an ELISA. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing of healthy and ADPKD tissue was used to identify the cellular origin of the uEV biomarker. RESULTS In the discovery proteomics experiments, the protein abundance of MMP-7 was significantly higher in uEVs of patients with rapid disease progression compared with stable disease. In the validation groups, a significant >2-fold increase in uEV-MMP-7 in patients with rapid disease progression was confirmed using immunoblotting. By contrast, no significant difference in MMP-7 was found in whole urine using ELISA. Compared with healthy kidney tissue, ADPKD tissue had significantly higher MMP-7 expression in proximal tubule and thick ascending limb cells with a profibrotic phenotype. CONCLUSIONS Among patients with ADPKD, rapid disease progressors have higher uEV-associated MMP-7. Our findings also suggest that MMP-7 is a biologically plausible biomarker for more rapid disease progression.

Abstract
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) is a promising approach for the diagnosis of kidney diseases. However, safety concerns, including nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, limit the administration of gadolinium (Gd)-based contrast agents (GBCAs) in patients who suffer from renal impairment. Meanwhile, nanomaterials meet biosafety concerns because of their long-term retention in the body. Herein, we propose a small-molecule manganese-based imaging probe Mn-PhDTA as an alternative to GBCAs to assess renal insufficiency for the first time. Mn-PhDTA was synthesized via a simple three-step reaction with a total yield of up to 33.6%, and a gram-scale synthesis can be realized. Mn-PhDTA has an r1 relaxivity of 2.72 mM-1 s-1 at 3.0 T and superior kinetic inertness over Gd-DTPA and Mn-EDTA with a dissociation time of 60 min in the presence of excess Zn2+. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrate their good stability and biocompatibility. In the unilateral ureteral obstruction rats, Mn-PhDTA provided significant MR signal enhancement, enabled distinguishing structure changes between the normal and damaged kidneys, and evaluated the renal function at different injured stages. Mn-PhDTA could act as a potential MRI contrast agent candidate for the replacement of GBCAs in the early detection of kidney dysfunction and analysis of kidney disease progression.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common hereditary kidney disorder, but kidneys are not the only organs involved in this systemic disorder. Individuals with the condition may display additional manifestations beyond the renal system, involving the liver, pancreas, and brain in the context of cystic manifestations, while involving the vascular system, gastrointestinal tract, bones, and cardiac valves in the context of non-cystic manifestations. Despite kidney involvement remaining the main feature of the disease, thanks to longer survival, early diagnosis, and better management of kidney-related problems, a new wave of complications must be faced by clinicians who treated patients with ADPKD. Involvement of the liver represents the most prevalent extrarenal manifestation and has growing importance in the symptom burden and quality of life. Vascular abnormalities are a key factor for patients' life expectancy and there is still debate whether to screen or not to screen all patients. Arterial hypertension is often the earliest onset symptom among ADPKD patients, leading to frequent cardiovascular complications. Although cardiac valvular abnormalities are a frequent complication, they rarely lead to relevant problems in the clinical history of polycystic patients. One of the newest relevant aspects concerns bone disorders that can exert a considerable influence on the clinical course of these patients. This review aims to provide the "state of the art" among the extrarenal manifestation of ADPKD.

Long-Term Effects of Tolvaptan in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: Predictors of Treatment Response and Safety over 6 Years of Continuous Therapy. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:2088.

Abstract
Tolvaptan, an oral vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist, reduces renal volume expansion and loss of renal function in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Data for predictive factors indicating patients more likely to benefit from long-term tolvaptan are lacking. Data were retrospectively collected from 55 patients on tolvaptan for 6 years. Changes in renal function, progression of renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], 1-year change in eGFR [ΔeGFR/year]), and renal volume (total kidney volume [TKV], percentage 1-year change in TKV [ΔTKV%/year]) were evaluated at 3-years pre-tolvaptan, at baseline, and at 6 years. In 76.4% of patients, ΔeGFR/year improved at 6 years. The average 6-year ΔeGFR/year (range) minus baseline ΔeGFR/year: 3.024 (-8.77-20.58 mL/min/1.73 m2). The increase in TKV was reduced for the first 3 years. A higher BMI was associated with less of an improvement in ΔeGFR (p = 0.027), and family history was associated with more of an improvement in ΔeGFR (p = 0.044). Hypernatremia was generally mild; 3 patients had moderate-to-severe hyponatremia due to prolonged, excessive water intake in response to water diuresis-a side effect of tolvaptan. Family history of ADPKD and baseline BMI were contributing factors for ΔeGFR/year improvement on tolvaptan. Hyponatremia should be monitored with long-term tolvaptan administration.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) often involves polycystic liver disease (PLD). In severe cases, PLD can develop various complications. However, fatal acute portal vein thrombosis (APVT) associated with PLD has not been reported. A 64-year-old male reported mild consciousness disorder. He had been under maintenance hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease due to ADPKD with PLD. Because of recurring hepatic cyst infections, he had sustained high levels of C-reactive protein. Regarding the mild consciousness disorder, a diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy was made based on an elevation of serum ammonia without any other abnormal liver function tests. Several days after his admission, hepatobiliary enzymes elevated, and acute liver failure progressed. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography suggested the possibility of complete occlusion of the portal vein by a thrombus. Based on an absence of obvious portosystemic collaterals, a diagnosis of APVT was made. The patient died 19 days after admission. Patients with PLD with repeated cystic infections have been seen to develop liver failure, and APVT formation may be one cause of the rapid progression of fatal liver failure. In conclusion, this is the first paper to report on the involvement of APVT in patients with PLD.

Treatment for patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in the chronic kidney disease without kidney replacement therapy in real-world clinical practice: a descriptive retrospective cohort study. ANNALS OF CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY 2024; 6:33-41. [PMID: 38606040 PMCID: PMC11006552 DOI: 10.37737/ace.24006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In real-world clinical practice, treatments selected for patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in the chronic kidney disease (CKD) without kidney replacement therapy (KRT) have not been reported. This study investigated the oral treatments used in these patients and the changes in their use in recent years. Additionally, we studied the factors affecting tolvaptan dose reduction or discontinuation. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted using the medical records of 160 hospitals in Japan. Patients with ADPKD or polycystic kidney disease registered on the database between January 2014 and December 2020 were selected. Changes in prescription proportions over time were assessed using the Cochran-Armitage test. We focused on patients prescribed with >15 mg of tolvaptan daily to identify the factors related to its dose reduction or discontinuation and used Multivariate Cox regression analysis to evaluate them. RESULTS Tolvaptan use in patients with ADPKD in the CKD without KRT stage has increased. As of 2020, 25% of patients were treated with tolvaptan. Overall, 3639 patients with ADPKD were enrolled in the database, of whom 156 were treated with tolvaptan. Of these, 64 patients (41%) reduced or discontinued tolvaptan during the observation period. The presence of an estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at the beginning of the treatment was associated with a higher risk of tolvaptan dose reduction or discontinuation. CONCLUSION The proportion of patients with ADPKD treated with high-dose tolvaptan is increasing. However, patients with late-stage CKD tended to reduce or discontinue tolvaptan.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic cause of chronic kidney disease and the fourth leading cause of end-stage kidney disease, accounting for over 50% of prevalent cases requiring renal replacement therapy. There is a pressing need for improved therapy for ADPKD. Recent insights into the pathophysiology of ADPKD revealed that cyst cells undergo metabolic changes that up-regulate aerobic glycolysis in lieu of mitochondrial respiration for energy production, a process that ostensibly fuels their increased proliferation. The present work leverages this metabolic disruption as a way to selectively target cyst cells for apoptosis. This small-molecule therapeutic strategy utilizes 11beta-dichloro, a repurposed DNA-damaging anti-tumor agent that induces apoptosis by exacerbating mitochondrial oxidative stress. Here, we demonstrate that 11beta-dichloro is effective in delaying cyst growth and its associated inflammatory and fibrotic events, thus preserving kidney function in perinatal and adult mouse models of ADPKD. In both models, the cyst cells with homozygous inactivation of Pkd1 show enhanced oxidative stress following treatment with 11beta-dichloro and undergo apoptosis. Co-administration of the antioxidant vitamin E negated the therapeutic benefit of 11beta-dichloro in vivo, supporting the conclusion that oxidative stress is a key component of the mechanism of action. As a preclinical development primer, we also synthesized and tested an 11beta-dichloro derivative that cannot directly alkylate DNA, while retaining pro-oxidant features. This derivative nonetheless maintains excellent anti-cystic properties in vivo and emerges as the lead candidate for development.

Abstract
Genetic testing in nephrology is becoming increasingly important to diagnose patients and to provide appropriate care. This is especially true for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) because this is a common cause of kidney failure and genetically complex. In addition to the major genes, PKD1 and PKD2 , there are at least six minor loci, and phenotypic, and in some cases, genetic overlap with other cystic disorders. Targeted next-generation sequencing, a low-cost, high-throughput technique, has made routine genetic testing viable in nephrology clinics. Appropriate pre- and post-testing genetic counseling is essential to the testing process. Carefully assessing variants is also critical, with the genetic report classifying variants in accordance with American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines. However, variant of uncertain significance (VUSs) may pose a significant challenge for the ordering clinician. In ADPKD, and particularly within PKD1 , there is high allelic heterogeneity; no single variant is present in more than 2% of families. The Mayo/Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation variant database, a research tool, is the best current database of PKD1 and PKD2 variants containing over 2300 variants identified in individuals with polycystic kidney disease, but novel variants are often identified. In patients with a high pretest probability of ADPKD on the basis of clinical criteria, but no finding of a pathogenic (P) or likely pathogenic (LP) variant in a cystic kidney gene, additional evaluation of cystic gene VUS can be helpful. In this case-based review, we propose an algorithm for the assessment of such variants in a clinical setting and show how some can be reassigned to a diagnostic grouping. When assessing the relevance of a VUS, we consider both patient/family-specific and allele-related factors using population and variant databases and available prediction tools, as well as genetic expertise. This analysis plus further family studies can aid in making a genetic diagnosis.

Abstract
Backgound Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease, and leads to a steady loss of kidney function in adulthood. The variable course of the disease makes it necessary to identify the patients with rapid disease progression who will benefit the most from targeted therapies and interventions. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging-based volumetry of the kidney is the most commonly used tool for this purpose. Biomarkers that can be easily and quantitatively determined, which allow a prediction of the loss of kidney function, have not yet been established in clinical practice. The glycoprotein Dickkopf 3 (DKK3) which is secreted in the renal tubular epithelium upon stress and contributes to tubulointerstitial fibrosis via the Wnt signaling pathway, was recently described as a biomarker for estimating risk of kidney function loss, but has not been investigated for ADPKD. This study aimed to obtain a first insight into whether DKK3 may indeed improve outcome prediction in ADPKD in the future. Methods In 184 ADPKD patients from the AD(H)PKD registry and 47 healthy controls, the urinary DKK3 (uDKK3) levels were determined using ELISA. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the potential of these values in outcome prediction. Results ADPKD patients showed significantly higher uDKK3 values compared with the controls (mean 1970 ± 5287 vs 112 ± 134.7 pg/mg creatinine). Furthermore, there was a steady increase in uDKK3 with an increase in the Mayo class (A/B 1262 ± 2315 vs class D/E 3104 ± 7627 pg/mg creatinine), the best-established biomarker of progression in ADPKD. uDKK3 also correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Patients with PKD1 mutations show higher uDKK3 levels compared with PKD2 patients (PKD1: 2304 ± 5119; PKD2: 506.6 ± 526.8 pg/mg creatinine). Univariate linear regression showed uDKK3 as a significant predictor of future eGFR slope estimation. In multiple linear regression this effect was not significant in models also containing height-adjusted total kidney volume and/or eGFR. However, adding both copeptin levels and the interaction term between copeptin and uDKK3 to the model resulted in a significant predictive value of all these three variables and the highest R2 of all models examined (∼0.5). Conclusion uDKK3 shows a clear correlation with the Mayo classification in patients with ADPKD. uDKK3 levels correlated with kidney function, which could indicate that uDKK3 also predicts a disproportionate loss of renal function in this collective. Interestingly, we found an interaction between copeptin and uDKK3 in our prediction models and the best model containing both variables and their interaction term resulted in a fairly good explanation of variance in eGFR slope compared with previous models. Considering the limited number of patients in these analyses, future studies will be required to confirm the results. Nonetheless, uDKK3 appears to be an attractive candidate to improve outcome prediction of ADPKD in the future.

Abstract
Introduction Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease in adults. As a social media platform, YouTube has tremendous potential to both support and hinder public health efforts. The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and quality of the most viewed English-language YouTube videos on ADPKD. Methods A YouTube search was conducted on 3 August 2023, using the keyword ADPKD disease and the top 200 videos were analyzed for relevance. Videos in the "Short" category that were duplicates, were not in English, were not audio or visual, and contained advertisements were excluded. Two reviewers divided the 159 included videos into groups based on their source and content. Results In 106 (66.7%) of the 159 videos, general information about the disease was given, 58 (36.5%) discussed medical treatment, 11 (6.9%) discussed surgical treatment, 30 (18.9%) included patient images and radiological images, and eight (5%) discussed the genetic and pathological features of the disease. Additionally, 16 (10.1%) videos fell into the "other" category. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information and Global Quality Scale scoring systems, videos uploaded by health associations and foundations received the highest scores (3 (1-4), 54 (28-70), 4 (1-5), respectively). Conclusion Academic institutions and other official health organizations such as Health Associations/Foundations need to use YouTube more effectively to disseminate accurate, reliable and useful health-related information to society.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic kidney disease is the most common hereditary kidney disorder with early and frequent hypertension symptoms. The mechanisms of cyst progression in polycystic kidney disease remain incompletely understood. METHODS Bsg (basigin) heterozygous and homozygous knockout mice were generated using cas9 system, and Bsg overexpression was achieved by adeno-associated virus serotype 9 injection. Renal morphology was investigated through histological and imaging analysis. Molecular analysis was performed through transcriptomic profiling and biochemical approaches. RESULTS Bsg-deficient mice exhibited significantly elevated arterial blood pressure. Further investigation demonstrated that Bsg deficiency triggers spontaneous cystic formation in mouse kidneys, which shares similar cyst pathological features and common transcriptional regulatory pathways with human polycystic kidney disease. Moreover, Bsg disruption promoted polycystin-1 ubiquitination and degradation, leading to activation of polycystic kidney disease associated cAMP and AMPK signaling pathways in Bsg knockout mouse kidneys. Finally, adeno-associated virus serotype 9 mediated Bsg reexpression reversed cystic progression in Bsg knockout mice in vivo, and Bsg overexpression inhibited the expansion of Madin-Darby canine kidney cysts in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that Bsg deficiency leads to an early-onset spontaneous polycystic kidney phenotype, suggesting that dysregulated Bsg signaling may be a contributing factor in cystogenesis.

Abstract
In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), renal cyst lesions predominantly arise from collecting ducts (CDs). However, relevant CD cyst models using human cells are lacking. Although previous reports have generated in vitro renal tubule cyst models from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), therapeutic drug candidates for ADPKD have not been identified. Here, by establishing expansion cultures of hiPSC-derived ureteric bud tip cells, an embryonic precursor that gives rise to CDs, we succeed in advancing the developmental stage of CD organoids and show that all CD organoids derived from PKD1-/- hiPSCs spontaneously develop multiple cysts, clarifying the initiation mechanisms of cystogenesis. Moreover, we identify retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonists as candidate drugs that suppress in vitro cystogenesis and confirm the therapeutic effects on an ADPKD mouse model in vivo. Therefore, our in vitro CD cyst model contributes to understanding disease mechanisms and drug discovery for ADPKD.

Abstract
Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a late-onset cilia-related disorder, characterized by progressive cystic enlargement of the kidneys. It is genetically heterogeneous with PKD1 and PKD2 pathogenic variants identified in approximately 78% and 15% of families, respectively. More recently, additional ADPKD genes, such as DNAJB11, have been identified and included in the diagnostic routine test for renal cystic diseases. However, despite recent progress in ADPKD molecular approach, approximately ~7% of ADPKD-affected families remain genetically unresolved. We collected a cohort of 4 families from our center, harboring heterozygous variants in the DNAJB11 gene along with clinical and imaging findings consistent with previously reported features in DNAJB11 mutated patients. Mutations were identified as likely pathogenetic (LP) in three families and as variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in the remaining one. One patient underwent to kidney biopsy and showed a prevalence of interstitial fibrosis that could be observed in ~60% of the sample. The presence in the four families from our cohort of ADPKD characteristics together with ADTKD features, such as hyperuricemia, diabetes, and chronic interstitial fibrosis, supports the definition of DNAJB11 phenotype as an overlap disease between these two entities, as originally suggested by the literature.

Abstract
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an important cause of end stage renal disease, but treatment options are limited. While later stages of the disease have been extensively studied, mechanisms driving the initial conversion of renal tubules into cysts are not understood. To identify factors that promote the initiation of cysts we deleted polycystin-2 ( Pkd2 ) in mice and surveyed transcriptional changes before and immediately after cysts developed. We identified 74 genes which we term cyst initiation candidates (CICs). To identify conserved changes with relevance to human disease we compared these murine CICs to single cell transcriptomic data derived from patients with PKD and from healthy controls. Tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 ( Tacstd2 ) stood out as an epithelial-expressed gene whose levels were elevated prior to cystic transformation and further increased with disease progression. Human tissue biopsies and organoids show that TACSTD2 protein is low in normal kidney cells but is elevated in cyst lining cells. While TACSTD2 has not been studied in PKD, it has been studied in cancer where it is highly expressed in solid tumors while showing minimal expression in normal tissue. This property is being exploited by antibody drug conjugates that target TACSTD2 for the delivery of cytotoxic drugs. Our finding that Tacstd2 is highly expressed in cysts, but not normal tissue, suggests that it should be explored as a candidate for drug development in PKD. More immediately, our work suggests that PKD patients undergoing TACSTD2 treatment for cancer should be monitored for kidney effects. One Sentence Summary The oncogene, tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (Tacstd2) mRNA increased in abundance shortly after Pkd2 loss and may be a driver of cyst initiation in polycystic kidney disease.

Abstract
Renal cyst progression in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is highly dependent on agents circulating in blood. We have previously shown, using different in vitro models, that one of these agents is the hormone ouabain. By binding to Na+-K+-ATPase (NKA), ouabain triggers a cascade of signal transduction events that enhance ADPKD cyst progression by stimulating cell proliferation, fluid secretion, and dedifferentiation of the renal tubular epithelial cells. Here, we determined the effects of ouabain in vivo. We show that daily administration of ouabain to Pkd1RC/RC ADPKD mice for 1-5 mo, at physiological levels, augmented kidney cyst area and number compared with saline-injected controls. Also, ouabain favored renal fibrosis; however, renal function was not significantly altered as determined by blood urea nitrogen levels. Ouabain did not have a sex preferential effect, with male and female mice being affected equally. By contrast, ouabain had no significant effect on wild-type mice. In addition, the actions of ouabain on Pkd1RC/RC mice were exacerbated when another mutation that increased the affinity of NKA for ouabain was introduced to the mice (Pkd1RC/RCNKAα1OS/OS mice). Altogether, this work highlights the role of ouabain as a procystogenic factor in the development of ADPKD in vivo, that the ouabain affinity site on NKA is critical for this effect, and that circulating ouabain is an epigenetic factor that worsens the ADPKD phenotype.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This work shows that the hormone ouabain enhances the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in vivo. Ouabain augments the size and number of renal cysts, the kidney weight to body weight ratio, and kidney fibrosis in an ADPKD mouse model. The Na+-K+-ATPase affinity for ouabain plays a critical role in these effects. In addition, these outcomes are independent of the sex of the mice.

Abstract
Patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease benefit from specialized care over their lifetimes, starting with diagnosis of the condition with ongoing discussion of both the renal course and extra-renal issues. Both renal and extra-renal issues may continue to cause major morbidity even after successful kidney transplant or initiation of RRT, and extra-renal disease aspects should always be considered as part of routine management. In this review, we will focus on updates in pain/depression screening, cardiac manifestations, liver and pancreatic cysts, kidney stone management, and genetic counseling. In some instances, we have shared our current clinical practice rather than an evidence-based guideline. We anticipate more standardization of care after the release of the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines for management in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease later this year.

Abstract
Ketogenic dietary interventions (KDIs) are beneficial in animal models of autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). KETO-ADPKD, an exploratory, randomized, controlled trial, is intended to provide clinical translation of these findings (NCT04680780). Sixty-six patients were randomized to a KDI arm (ketogenic diet [KD] or water fasting [WF]) or the control group. Both interventions induce significant ketogenesis on the basis of blood and breath acetone measurements. Ninety-five percent (KD) and 85% (WF) report the diet as feasible. KD leads to significant reductions in body fat and liver volume. Additionally, KD is associated with reduced kidney volume (not reaching statistical significance). Interestingly, the KD group exhibits improved kidney function at the end of treatment, while the control and WF groups show a progressive decline, as is typical in ADPKD. Safety-relevant events are largely mild, expected (initial flu-like symptoms associated with KD), and transient. Safety assessment is complemented by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) lipid profile analyses.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an inherited disorder characterized by the development of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. The primary cause of ADPKD is mutations in the PKD1 (polycystic kidney disease 1) or PKD2 (polycystic kidney disease 2) gene. Patients with ADPKD often develop a variety of vascular abnormalities, which have a major impact on the structure and function of the blood vessels and can lead to complications such as hypertension, intracranial aneurysm (ICAN), and atherosclerosis. The progression of ADPKD involves intricate molecular and cellular processes that lead to the development of these vascular abnormalities. Our understanding of these processes remains incomplete, and available treatment options are limited. The aim of this review is to delve into the underlying mechanisms of these vascular abnormalities and to explore potential interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most prevalent hereditary kidney disease and the fourth leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). Nevertheless, there is a paucity of epidemiological research examining the risk factors and survival on RRT for ADPKD. Thus, we aimed to investigate the cumulative effects of cardiometabolic comorbidities, including hypertension (HTN), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and dyslipidemia (DLP) to clinical outcomes in ADPKD. METHODS We identified 6,142 patients with ADPKD aged ≥ 20 years from 2000 to 2015 using a nationwide population-based database. HTN, DM, and DLP diagnoses before or at the time of ADPKD diagnosis and different combinations of the three diagnoses were used as the predictors for the outcomes. Survival analyses were used to estimate the adjusted mortality risk from cardiometabolic comorbidities and the risk for renal survival. RESULTS Patients with ADPKD who developed ESRD had the higher all-cause mortality (HR, 5.14; [95% CI: 3.88-6.80]). Patients with all three of the diseases had a significantly higher risk of entering ESRD (HR:4.15, [95% CI:3.27-5.27]), followed by those with HTN and DM (HR:3.62, [95% CI:2.82-4.65]), HTN and DLP (HR:3.54, [95% CI:2.91-4.31]), and HTN alone (HR:3.10, [95% CI:2.62-3.66]) compared with those without any three cardiometabolic comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS Our study discovered the cumulative effect of HTN, DM, and DLP on the risk of developing ESRD, which reinforces the urgency of proactive prevention of cardiometabolic comorbidities to improve renal outcomes and overall survival in ADPKD patients.

Elevated checkpoint inhibitor expression and Treg cell number in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and their correlation with disease parameters and hypertension. Clin Exp Med 2023; 23:3631-3640.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has cancer-like pathophysiology. In this study, we aimed to investigate the phenotype of peripheral blood (PB) T cell subsets and immune checkpoint inhibitor expression of ADPKD patients across different chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages. Seventy-two patients with ADPKD and twenty-three healthy controls were included in the study. The patients were grouped into five different CKD stages, according to glomerular filtration rate (GFR). PB mononuclear cells were isolated and T cell subsets and cytokine production were examined by flow cytometry. CRP levels, height-adjusted total kidney volume (htTKV), rate of hypertension (HT) differed significantly across different GFR stages in ADPKD. T cell phenotyping revealed significantly elevated CD3+ T cells, CD4+, CD8+, double-negative, and double-positive subsets and significantly elevated IFN-γ and TNF-α producing subsets of CD4+, CD8+ cells. The expression of checkpoint inhibitors CTLA-4, PD-1, and TIGIT by T cell subsets was also increased to various extent. Additionally, Treg cell numbers and suppressive markers CTLA-4, PD-1, and TIGIT were significantly elevated in ADPKD patients' PB. Treg CTLA4 expression and CD4CD8DP T cell frequency in patients with HT were significantly higher. Lastly, HT and increased htTKV and higher frequency of PD1+ CD8SP were found to be risk factors for rapid disease progression. Our data provide the first detailed analyses of checkpoint inhibitor expression by PB T cell subsets during stages of ADPKD, and that a higher frequency of PD1+ CD8SP cells is associated with rapid disease progression.
