The vasopressin V2 receptor (VPV2R) antagonist OPC31260 has been effective in two animal models of PKD with pathologies that are probably related. Here we show, in a mouse model of ADPKD (Pkd2(-/tm1Som)), a similar cellular phenotype and response to OPC31260 treatment, with reduction of renal cyclic AMP (cAMP)...
