1 30696882 Tsc1 ablation in Prx1 and Osterix lineages causes renal cystogenesis in mouse.
2 30696882 Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is caused by mutations in TSC1 or TSC2, which encode negative regulators of the mTOR signaling pathway.
3 30696882 Here we report that specific ablation of Tsc1 using the mesenchymal stem cell-osteoblast lineage markers induced cystogenesis in mice.
4 30696882 Using Rosa-tdTomato mice, we found that Prx1- or Dermo1-labeled cells were present in the nephron including glomerulus but they were not stained by markers for podocytes, mesangial cells, endothelial cells, or proximal or loop of Henle tubular cells, while Osx is known to label tubular cells.
5 30696882 Tsc1 deficiency in Prx1 lineage cells caused development of mild cysts that were positive only for Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP), a loop of Henle marker, while Tsc1 deficiency in Osx lineage cells caused development of cysts that were positive for Villin, a proximal tubular cell marker.
6 30696882 On the other hand, Tsc1 deficiency in the Dermo1 lineage did not produce detectable phenotypical changes in the kidney.
7 30696882 Cyst formation in Prx1-Cre; Tsc1f/f and Osx-Cre; Tsc1f/f mice were associated with increase in both proliferative and apoptotic cells in the affected tissue and were largely suppressed by rapamycin.
8 30696882 These results suggest that Prx1 and Osx lineages cells may contribute to renal cystogenesis in TSC patients.
9 30696882 Tsc1 ablation in Prx1 and Osterix lineages causes renal cystogenesis in mouse.
10 30696882 Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is caused by mutations in TSC1 or TSC2, which encode negative regulators of the mTOR signaling pathway.
11 30696882 Here we report that specific ablation of Tsc1 using the mesenchymal stem cell-osteoblast lineage markers induced cystogenesis in mice.
12 30696882 Using Rosa-tdTomato mice, we found that Prx1- or Dermo1-labeled cells were present in the nephron including glomerulus but they were not stained by markers for podocytes, mesangial cells, endothelial cells, or proximal or loop of Henle tubular cells, while Osx is known to label tubular cells.
13 30696882 Tsc1 deficiency in Prx1 lineage cells caused development of mild cysts that were positive only for Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP), a loop of Henle marker, while Tsc1 deficiency in Osx lineage cells caused development of cysts that were positive for Villin, a proximal tubular cell marker.
14 30696882 On the other hand, Tsc1 deficiency in the Dermo1 lineage did not produce detectable phenotypical changes in the kidney.
15 30696882 Cyst formation in Prx1-Cre; Tsc1f/f and Osx-Cre; Tsc1f/f mice were associated with increase in both proliferative and apoptotic cells in the affected tissue and were largely suppressed by rapamycin.
16 30696882 These results suggest that Prx1 and Osx lineages cells may contribute to renal cystogenesis in TSC patients.
