Interaction Information:

Comment PC1 co-localized with the specific ciliary axoneme marker acetylated alpha-tubulin in kidneys of wild-type but not Pkd1del34/del34 mice. Analysis with gamma-tubulin, a specific marker of the basal body of the cilium, showed co-localization of PC1 in the basal body in wild-type but not in Pkd1del34/del34cells. Thus, PC1 seems to be a component of the primary cilium.

Analysis with gamma-tubulin, a specific marker of the basal body of the cilium, showed co-localization of PC1 in the basal body in wild-type but not in Pkd1del34/del34cells. Thus, PC1 seems to be a component of the primary cilium.

Comment The primary cilium of kidney epithelium has been shown to mediate transduction of a mechanical flow stimulus into a Ca2+ signaling response. To explore whether ciliary PC1 could contribute to this response, the authors used fluid shear stress to promote cilium bending and associated Ca2+ signaling in cultured kidney epithelial cells. Wild-type cells showed a specific sensitivity to low levels of shear stress similar to those observed in proximal tubules and other renal tubules in vivo. Cells with mutations in Pkd1 do not activate flow-induced Ca2+ signaling.

Comment Collectively, the data indicate that ciliary PC1 and PC2 act in concert with ryanodine receptors to mediate transduction of an extracellular mechanical stimulus into a Ca2+ signaling response inside kidney epithelial cells. The requirement for extracellular Ca2+ indicates that the initial response to mechanical stimulation is the influx of Ca2+ across the plasma membrane, whereas the results obtained with ryanodine and caffeine suggest that the intraorganellar Ca2+ buffering system may mediate downstream signaling.
