mortality/aging
• mice die at around P60

renal/urinary system
• at P14, most DBA-positive collecting duct epithelial cells are devoid of cilia, indicating a cilia biogenesis defect
• at P14, kidneys exhibit ~14% of BrdU-positive nuclei in DBA-positive cyst-lining cells versus ~2.8% in control kidneys, suggesting a significant increase in cell proliferation
• mice show rapid kidney cyst formation, with minimal cysts at P7, significant cysts in both the medulla and cortex region at P14, and severely cystic kidneys at P17
• cyst formation is confined to the distal nephron
• at P14, cysts mainly form in the collecting duct; by P28, cysts are detected in the medullary thick ascending limb and the distal convoluted tubule
• significant cysts in the cortex region at P14
• significant cysts in the medulla region at P14
• mice exhibit rapid progression of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) with severely cystic kidneys at P17
• treatment with valproic acid (VPA, a histone deacetylase inhibitor) can partially suppress PKD progression
• starting at P14, kidney size is obviously enlarged; by P17, kidney size is significantly increased
• mice treated with valproic acid (VPA, a histone deacetylase inhibitor) from P10 to P25 show significantly reduced kidney size relative to vehicle-treated controls
• at P14, kidney-to-body weight ratio is significantly increased
• mice treated with VPA from P10 to P25 show a significantly reduced kidney-to-body weight ratio relative to vehicle-treated controls
• at P7, some DBA-positive regions marking the collecting ducts are already dilated
• in dilated regions, cilia are largely absent, whereas cilia are still present in non-dilated DBA-positive regions
• at P28, but not at P21, kidneys exhibit increased trichrome staining indicating collagen deposition
• mice treated with VPA from P10 to P25 show a significantly reduced collagen deposition relative to vehicle-treated controls
• at P28, kidney interstitial cells show a dramatic increase in smooth muscle actin expression relative to controls
• VPA treatment from P10 to P25 significantly reduces smooth muscle actin expression in the interstitium
• mice develop rapidly progressive renal failure

homeostasis/metabolism
• BUN level is significantly increased at P14
• mice treated with VPA from P10 to P25 show a significantly reduced BUN level, indicating improved kidney function

cellular
• at P14, most DBA-positive collecting duct epithelial cells are devoid of cilia, indicating a cilia biogenesis defect
• at P14, kidneys exhibit ~14% of BrdU-positive nuclei in DBA-positive cyst-lining cells versus ~2.8% in control kidneys, suggesting a significant increase in cell proliferation

growth/size/body
• mice show rapid kidney cyst formation, with minimal cysts at P7, significant cysts in both the medulla and cortex region at P14, and severely cystic kidneys at P17
