Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Cystic Kidney Diseases:

1.	Proteins (Proteins, Gene)IBA 06/01/2007 - "Positional cloning of six novel genes (NPHP1 through 6) as mutated in NPHP and functional characterization of their encoded proteins have contributed to the concept of "ciliopathies." It has helped advance a new unifying theory of cystic kidney diseases. " 01/01/2012 - "This study establishes the LPK rat as a novel model system for NPHP and further consolidates the link between cystic kidney disease and cilia proteins." 05/01/2011 - "Studies of the primary cilium, now known to be present in all cells, have undergone a revolution, in part, because mutation of many of its proteins causes a large number of diseases, including cystic kidney disease. " 07/01/2015 - "Several ciliopathy proteins that contribute to the pathogenesis of cystic kidney diseases and ciliopathy-related phenotypes have been recently reported to participate in the elaborated pathways that control DNA replication and repair, suggesting that malfunction of these biological processes may be a common denominator of some ciliopathy-related diseases. " 04/01/2015 - "Almost all of proteins associated with a broad spectrum of human cystic kidney diseases have been localized to the region in or around the cilia. "
2.	Hereditary renal agenesisIBA 09/01/2013 - "Increase in postnatally diagnosed cases can be attributed primarily to the reporting of less severe cases (cystic kidney disease) or unilateral anomalies (renal agenesis and hypoplasia). " 03/01/2004 - "In cases of birth cystic kidney 25% were diagnosed prenatally and ended for renal agenesis and hypoplasie of the kidneys and 27% due to cystic kidney. " 08/01/2015 - "Prenatal renal diagnoses were as follows: hydronephrosis/megaureter: n = 21 (20.2 %), aberrance in renal form or location: n = 7 (6.7 %), cystic renal disease: n = 28 (26.9 %), renal dysplasia: n = 24 (23.1 %), renal agenesis: n = 42 (30.4 %), posterior urethral valves: n = 11 (10.6 %). " 09/01/2013 - "The overall prevalence rates of the monitored diagnoses from the group of congenital kidney disease (cystic kidney disease and renal agenesis/hypoplasia) were on the rise in the monitored -period mainly due to advances in imaging technologies (ultrasonography) and their use in both prenatal and postnatal diagnosis. " 06/01/2012 - "Fraser syndrome (FS) features renal agenesis and cystic kidneys. "
3.	Messenger RNA (mRNA)IBA 02/01/1992 - "Previous studies had shown higher steady-state levels of proto-oncogene mRNA in these cystic kidneys. " 11/01/2002 - "Messenger RNA expression in multiple affected organs was analyzed to determine if common gene cascades were misexpressed in the cystic kidney and extrarenal sites of disease. " 02/01/1996 - "At all time points studied, cystic kidneys exhibited increased expression of c-myc mRNA as compared with phenotypic normal kidneys, consistent with PKD being a hyperplastic disease of renal tubules. " 02/01/1992 - "c-myc mRNA was detected by in situ hybridization in nephron anlagen and elongating tubules of normal and cystic kidneys during late fetal and early neonatal kidney development. " 02/01/1992 - "It is now shown using nuclear run-on transcription that the c-fos and c-myc proto-oncogenes are transcribed at higher rates in cystic kidneys, and thus that increased transcription, in part, may account for the increased mRNA levels. "
4.	DiphenylamineIBA 07/01/1976 - "The results of this study show that, in the terminal stages, cellular as well as gross morphologic differences exist between polycystic and medullary cystic kidney disease and that diphenylamine-induced cystic disease more closely resembles human polycystic than medullary cystic kidney disease." 07/01/1976 - "Most prominent among them is the renal cystic disease that is induced in rats through feeding of the antioxidant, diphenylamine, The present study examined the morphology of adult polycystic and medullary cystic kidney disease in man using scanning electron microscopy and compared them with diphenylamine-induced cystic kidney disease in rats. " 11/01/1987 - "[Cystic kidney disease induced by diphenylamine in rats]." 01/01/1978 - "Chronic intoxication with diphenylamine (DPA), which causes a cystic kidney disease in the rat and the guinea-pig, caused degeneration of the renal tubular epithelium in the chicken. " 07/01/1976 - "Comparison of human polycystic and medullary cystic kidney disease with diphenylamine-induced cystic disease."
5.	MicroRNAs (MicroRNA)IBA 10/09/2015 - "These studies reveal a novel pathway whereby HNF-1β directly contributes to the control of miRNAs that are involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cystic kidney disease. " 04/01/2015 - "There is increasing evidence that microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation is associated with the pathogenesis of cystic kidney disease. " 04/01/2015 - "MicroRNAs in the pathogenesis of cystic kidney disease." 07/01/2009 - "Specific miRNAs have been implicated in pathways linked to cystic kidney disease (miR-15a), and Wilms' tumor (miR-17-92). " 04/01/2015 - "The relationship of specific miRNAs, such as the miR-17∼92 cluster and cystic kidney disease, miR-92a and von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, and alterations in LIN28-LET7 expression in Wilms tumor will be explored. "

" 01/01/1997 - "We report the immunohistochemical (cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen, vimentin, Tamm-Horsfall protein, proliferating cell nuclear antigen) and lectin-binding (soybean agglutinin, Dolichos biflorus agglutinin) profile of cystic kidneys from 9 surgically removed and 21 autopsy cases. "
7.	ReninIBA 02/01/2012 - "Activation of the renin system, as supported by recent studies, can explain the mechanism of hypokalemia and hypertension in this inherited cystic kidney disorder. " 12/01/2010 - "Intrarenal renin, ACE and Ang II expression was increased significantly in cystic kidneys; angiotensinogen and Ang II Type I receptor were unchanged. "
8.	AmmoniaIBA 01/12/2001 - "Human RHBG resides at chromosome 1q21.3, which harbors candidate genes for medullary cystic kidney disease, whereas mouse Rhbg is syntenic on chromosome 3. Northern blot and in situ hybridization revealed that RHBG and Rhbg are predominantly expressed in liver, kidney, and skin, the specialized organs involving ammonia genesis, excretion, or secretion. " 11/01/2000 - "The present study tested whether this beneficial effect is sustained and explored handling of citrate and ammonia in normal and cystic kidneys. "
