Abstract

Planar cell polarity (PCP) pathways control the orientation and alignment of epithelial cells

differentiation of kidney glomeruli and tubules. Vangl2 has also been implicated in

Vangl2 impacts on glomerular pathobiology in this context. Targeted genetic deletion of

irreversible accelerated nephrotoxic nephritis but also lipopolysaccharide-induced

podocytes was associated with an increased ratio of active-MMP9 to inactive MMP9, an

two cohorts of renal patients, we report increased VANGL2 transcript levels in glomeruli of

be involved in certain human glomerular diseases. These observations support the

MMP9, a potentially harmful endogenous enzyme.
