In vivo formation of polyphosphoinositide isomers and association with progression of murine polycystic kidney disease.
Polyphosphoinositide isomers have been demonstrated to be important mediators of cell proliferation in vitro. The present study demonstrates, for the first time, the in vivo formation of the novel isomer, phosphatidylinositol(3)phosphate, in the kidney and liver of intact animals following intraperitoneal administration of [3H]myo-inositol. The formation of renal [3H]phosphatidylinositol(3)phosphate relative to total [3H]phosphatidylinositol-phosphate was positively correlated with cyst proliferation and renal enlargement in a murine model of polycystic kidney disease. Furthermore, despite no difference in the formation of renal [3H]phosphatidylinositol(4)phosphate, a markedly lower accumulation (by 48%) of [3H]phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate was observed in the diseased animals as compared to controls. These results indicate that further studies on the in vivo formation of specific polyphosphoinositide isomers in disease states characterized by abnormal growth and oncogene expression are warranted.
