摘要

Chloride secretion driven by calcium-dependent chloride channels has a major impact on cyst enlargement in polycystic kidney disease. Buchholz et al. studied the functional role of anoctamin 1 (ANO1), a recently identified calcium-activated chloride channel, in kidney cyst growth, using principal-like cells forming cysts within a collagen matrix and an embryonic kidney cyst model. Their results support a potential role for this chloride channel in cyst generation.
