The article reflects the genetic variants of polycystic kidney disease, describes the modern strategy for the treatment of polycystic kidney disease in children and adults. The authors present the results of clinical trials of vasopressin V2 receptor antagonists (tolvaptan, liksivaptan), a multi-kinase inhibitor (tezevatinib), somatostatin analogues (lankreotide, octreotide), statins (pravastatin), mTOR inhibitors (everolimus, sirolimus), metformin in patients with autosomal recessive and autosomal polycystic kidney disease. The authors discuss the factors determining the prognosis and outcome of these diseases.

Поликистозная болезнь почек (ПП) является клинически и генетически гетерогенной группой заболеваний, может наследоваться как аутосомно-доминантно (АД), так и аутосомно-рецессивно (АР). К развитию АР ПП приводят мутации в гене PKHD1. Большинство мутаций при АД ПП находят в гене PKD1 (80-85%). Примерно в 15% случаев мутации выявляют в гене PKD2. Клиническое и генетическое разнообразие ПП требует поиска мутаций в нескольких генах, поэтому он является трудоемким, дорогостоящим и требует много времени. Метод массового параллельного секвенирования (МПС) позволяет проводить поиск мутаций в нескольких генах одновременно независимо от их размера. Проведен поиск мутаций в 254 семьях с ПП методом МПС с использованием панели, включающей гены PKHD1, PKD1, PKD2, HNF1B и GANAB. Два варианта в гене PKHD1 было идентифицировано в 49 семьях (19%), один вариант найден в 9 случаях (3,5%); в гене PKD1 обнаружено 62 варианта (24,5%), в гене PKD2 - 6 вариантов (2,5%), в гене HNF1B - 9 вариантов (3,5%). В 119 семьях, что составило 47%, мутации найдены не были. У больных из семей с генеалогически установленным АД типом наследования в большинстве случаев (39 из 66; 59%) выявлены варианты в гене PKD1, приводящие к ПП. Из 59 изолированных случаев ПП в 17% (10 человек) идентифицированы 2 варианта в гене PНKD1, в 20% (12 человек) - в гене PKD1. При неизвестном типе наследования (129 случаев) в 29,5% (38 чел.) найдены 2 варианта в гене PНKD1, в 8,5% (11 чел.) - в гене PKD1, в 3% (4 чел.) - в гене PKD2, в 4% (5 чел.) - в гене HNF1B. Таким образом, МПС относительно быстро позволяет проводить молекулярно-генетический анализ одновременно в нескольких генах у больных с признаками ПП. Polycystic kidney disease is a heterogeneous group of autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive disorders with age of manifestation varying from prenatal period to adulthood. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene. Approximately 85% of all autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease cases are caused by mutations in the PKD1 gene, and around 15% - by mutations in the PKD2 gene. All these genes are large, and mutations were found to be scattered throughout the genes without any clustering. Therefore, mutation detection requires a lot of time, money, and effort. Due to clinical and genetic diversity of polycystic kidney disease, the search for mutations has to be carried out in several genes. Mass parallel sequencing (MPS) allows to analyze several genes simultaneously regardless of their size. 254 families with polycystic kidney disease were examined using mass parallel sequencing with a gene panel that included PKHD1, PKD1, PKD2, HNF1B and GANAB. Two variants in PKHD1 were found in 49 families (19%), one variant - in 9 families (3.5%); in PKD1 62 variants were detected (24.5%), in PKD2 - 6 variants (2.5%), in HNF1B - 9 variants (3.5%). In 119 families (47%) there were no mutations in the target genes. Among 66 patients from families with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, 39 patients (59%) had mutations in the PKD1 gene. Out of 59 sporadic cases, 10 patients (17%) had 2 variants in PНKD1, 12 patients (20%) - in PKD1. 38 patients (29.5%) out of 129 patients with unknown type of inheritance had 2 variants in PНKD1, 11 patients (8.5%) - in PKD1, 4 patients (3%) - in PKD2, 5 patients (4%) - in HNF1B. Mass parallel sequencing allows to carry out relatively rapid molecular genetic analysis of several genes simultaneously for patients with symptoms of polycystic kidney disease.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is characterized by cyst formation and growth, which are partially driven by abnormal proliferation of tubular cells. Proproliferative mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) complexes 1 and 2 (mTORC1 and mTORC2) are activated in the kidneys of mice with PKD. Sirolimus indirectly inhibits mTORC1. Novel mTOR kinase inhibitors directly inhibit mTOR kinase, resulting in the inhibition of mTORC1 and mTORC2. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of sirolimus versus the mTOR kinase inhibitor torin2 on cyst growth and kidney function in the Pkd1 p.R3277C ( Pkd1RC/RC) mouse model, a hypomorphic Pkd1 model orthologous to the human condition, and to determine the effects of sirolimus versus torin2 on mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling in PKD1−/− cells and in the kidneys of Pkd1RC/RC mice. In vitro, both inhibitors reduced mTORC1 and mTORC2 phosphorylated substrates and negatively impacted cellular metabolic activity, as measured by MTT assay. Pkd1RC/RC mice were treated with sirolimus or torin2 from 50 to 120 days of age. Torin2 was as effective as sirolimus in decreasing cyst growth and improving loss of kidney function. Both sirolimus and torin2 decreased phosphorylated S6 protein, phosphorylated eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1, phosphorylated Akt, and proliferation in Pkd1RC/RC kidneys. In conclusion, torin2 and sirolimus were equally effective in decreasing cyst burden and improving kidney function and mediated comparable effects on mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling and proliferation in the Pkd1RC/RC kidney.

Die autosomal dominante polyzystische Nierenerkrankung (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, ADPKD) ist charakterisiert durch eine massive Vergrösserung beider Nieren, bedingt durch unzählige Zysten. Die Zystenbildung beginnt bereits in utero und das kontinuierliche Zystenwachstum führt zur Kompression und Zerstörung des nicht-zystischen Nierenparenchyms, sodass schliesslich ein Nierenersatz in der 5. bis 6. Lebensdekade notwendig wird. Bisher gab es keine kausale Therapie, welche das Fortschreiten der Krankheiten aufhält. Tierexperimentelle Daten zeigen, dass die medikamentöse Inhibition eines zentralen Regulators der Zellproliferation, dem so genannten «mammalian target of rapamycin» (mTOR), den Kranheitsverlauf der ADPKD verlangsamen kann. Die vorliegende Übersicht vermittelt einen Einblick in die Erkrankung und in die neue therapeutische Möglichkeit des mTOR Inhibitors Sirolimus, welcher zurzeit in klinischen Studien getestet wird.

Cystic dysplasia is a heterogeneous group of diseases, with 12–15% share in the structure of congenital kidney anomalies and 8–10% share in the structure of the causes of chronic renal failure in children. The article presents the results of observation of patients with polycystic kidney disease. To study the clinical features of the course of various forms of cystic dysplasia in children we analyzed the histories of children with autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. We revealed clinical, laboratory and instrumental features of the course of various types of cystic renal dysplasia.

The efficacy of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors is currently tested in patients affected by autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Treatment with mTOR inhibitors has been associated with numerous side effects. However, the renal-specific effect of mTOR inhibitor treatment cessation in polycystic kidney disease is currently unknown. Therefore, we compared pulse and continuous everolimus treatment in Han:SPRD rats. Four-week-old male heterozygous polycystic and wild-type rats were administered everolimus or vehicle by gavage feeding for 5 wk, followed by 7 wk without treatment, or continuously for 12 wk. Cessation of everolimus did not result in the appearance of renal cysts up to 7 wk postwithdrawal despite the reemergence of S6 kinase activity coupled with an overall increase in cell proliferation. Pulse everolimus treatment resulted in striking noncystic renal parenchymal enlargement and glomerular hypertrophy that was not associated with compromised kidney function. Both treatment regimens ameliorated kidney function, preserved the glomerular-tubular connection, and reduced proteinuria. Pulse treatment at an early age delays cyst development but leads to striking glomerular and parenchymal hypertrophy. Our data might have an impact when long-term treatment using mTOR inhibitors in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is being considered.
