Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis is a critical early cellular event in the development of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in humans and mice. In the SBM transgenic model of PKD, both apoptosis and proliferation are c-myc driven and are independent of p53 and Bcl-2 pathways. On the basis of recent evidence implicating the FasL/Fas pathway in c-myc-induced apoptosis, we investigated the potential interaction of these pathways in vivo. We...
