We have recently demonstrated that ablation of one or both alleles of the proapoptotic gene Bim prevents the polycystic kidney disease (PKD) that develops in mice deficient for the prosurvival protein Bcl-2. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether loss of Bim or Bcl-2 could influence the disease in the PKD1del34/del34 mutant mice, a model of autosomal dominant PKD. PKD1del34/del34 mice were...
