Principal Investigator/Program Director (Last, first, middle): FoS[unreadable][unreadable] Agnes B. cardiovascular complications in ch^Jkn with chronic kidney disease, Jabs p^Pbses to test if carotid artery intima media thickness can be used as a surrogate marker for the risk of cardiovascular complications. The Pilot and Feasibility Project component for this competing renewal provides an ideal mechanism to support such studies. Thus, Jabs' project in humans, proposed as a pilot study, and Kon's project in mice are complementary and mutually intellectually stimulating. During the initial phenotype analyses on mutant mice lacking some component of RAS, it was found that angiotensin is involved in the ontogeny of the kidney and urinary tract. The observations necessitated the Center to interact closely with the Pediatric Urology group in Vanderbilt. These collaborations done in the Center laboratories resulted in a number of productive research studies on both the Center side and the Pediatric Urology side. To further expand the scientific depth in their research, the Pediatric Research group recruited Upadhya to consult with the Center. Upadhya, a geneticist by training, had focused her research on the genetics of polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Apart from the genes responsible for the manifestation of cyst formation per se, the loss of renal function in PKD is determined by interstitial changes, notably inflammation and scarring. Through the collaborative arrangement with the Center that has been established since her arrival at Vanderbilt, Upadhya proposes a pilot project to expand her research horizon to the genetic and molecular biological mechanisms of the interstitial changes in PKD. As he planned in the previous proposal, Matsusaka successfully generated homozygous deletion mutants for both Renl and Ren2. After an initial observation and publication from the mutants, detailed phenotype analyses are under way. The initial goal after generating several mutant mouse models, including angiotensinogen knock outs, type 1 receptor knock outs, and renin knock outs, is to study the role and the mechanism of angiotensin in renal diseases. In this regard, many mice strains are resistant to development of glomerular diseases, including subtotal nephrectomy model, that have been widely studied in the rat. In search for mouse models of glomerular disease, Matsusaka identified a unique approach, which is likely to be successful in view of the supportive literature. He has thus far been successful in producing transgenic mouse models and gene targeted mouse models, and is now proposing a pilot project of generating a new mouse model of glomerular epithelial cell injury that is linked to progressive renal failure.
