P4.05 POLYCYSTIN DEFICIENCY RESULTS IN COMPLETE LOSS OF NO SYNTHESIS DURING SUSTAINED FLOW-MEDIATED DILATATION OF CONDUIT ARTERIES IN AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE: POSSIBLE REVERSAL BY DOPAMINE
Objectives: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is due to mutations in genes PKD1 and PKD2 encoding polycystin-1 and -2, which transduce flow variations into cellular signals in the renal epithelium but also in vascular endothelium. However, the impact of polycystin deficiency on th...
