EP<sub>2</sub>receptor mediates PGE<sub>2</sub>-induced cystogenesis of human renal epithelial cells
30 Aug 2007
Abstract excerpt
Autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by formation of cysts from tubular epithelial cells. Previous studies indicate that secretion of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) into cyst fluid and production of cAMP underlie cyst expansion. However, the mechanism by which PGE2 directly stimulates cAMP formation and modulates cystogenesis is still unclear, because the particular E-prostanoid (EP)...
