Cystic kidneys in Tg(CAG-PKD2)#Hwl/? mice

renal/urinary system

kidney cortex cyst ( J:148377 )

polycystic kidney ( J:148377 )

• bilateral cysts first appearing at 6 months of age

• number and size of cysts increases with age

• cysts develop mostly from proximal tubules but cysts developing form collecting ducts and distal tubules are also seen

• cysts display distinct morphological stages characterized by changes in the morphology of cells lining the cysts from cuboidal to flat

abnormal renal glomerular capsule morphology ( J:148377 )

abnormal renal glomerulus morphology ( J:148377 )

• dilated

abnormal renal tubule morphology ( J:148377 )

• increase in the number of proliferating cells per tubule, located around cysts especially at late cyst stages

• increase in the number of apoptotic cells per tubule mainly at the intermediate stage of cyst formation
