Abstract
BACKGROUND: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) or autosomal recessive PKD is caused by a mutation in the PKD1, PKD2 or PKHD1 gene, which encodes polycystin-1, polycystin-2 or fibrocystin, respectively. Embryonic and postnatal mutation studies show that transport or channel function is dysregulated before the initiation of cystogenesis, suggesting that the abnormality of transport or channel function plays a critical role in the pathology of PKD. SUMMARY: Polycystin-2 by itself is a calcium-permeable cation channel, and its channel function can be regulated by polycystin-1 or fibrocystin. In this paper, we reviewed the current knowledge about calcium transports and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-driven chloride transports in PKD. In addition, the function and the underlining mechanism of glucose transporters, phosphate transporters and water channels in PKD are also discussed. KEY MESSAGES: Abnormalities in calcium handling and exuberant cAMP-dependent cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-mediated fluid secretion in the collecting duct are the most important issues in the pathogenesis of PKD.
