SUMMARY
| Mechanisms of cation transport along the nephron In this talk the physiology of the kidney will be discussed, based on data derived from mouse models. The morphology and the function of the various nephron segments will be presented, based on data derived primarily from mice and rats. Regulatory mechanisms of cation homeostasis are presented by citing numerous transgenic and KO models, and experimental approaches with mice discussed.
Unravelling the molecular genetics of Gordon Syndrome Gordon syndrome, a kidney disease causing hypertension and hyperkalemia, will be discussed, both with respect to its pathology, genetics and molecular mechanisms. Several transgenic mouse lines will be presented, and a novel SPAK knock-in mouse discussed. Techniques involve the generation of the mouse models, measurements of arterial blood pressure on the animal, and measuring various renal parameters by sampling urine and blood.
Regulation of water transport in the nephron In this talk, the in vivo regulation of water homeostasis is discussed by evaluating primarily different mice models. Acute AP2 regulation will be approached by immunohistochemistry, measurements of renal parameters, and various experimental interventions (application of vasopressin, lithium, salt diets). A proteasomal approach on mouse kidneys will also be presented.
Role of olfactory receptors in the nephron Michael Caplan’s laboratory identified recently a number of olfactory receptors, olfactory adenylate cyclise 3 (AC3) and olfactory G-protein (Golf) that are co-expressed in the kidney tubules and in the Macula densa, which regulates glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The effect of knockout of AC3 in mice on the GFR and on the regulation of renin expression will be discussed. In the afternoon: Various papers have been proposed to the students, and will be discussed in the afternoon with the speakers (see list of papers here below). They all contain mouse models, detailed description how to analyze renal parameters in the mouse (ion homeostasis, blood pressure, immunohistochemistry).
We therefore asked that students participating in the afternoon session will get additional accreditation.
