Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

Each objective of the research grant were successfully adressed and numerous new so far unknown pathomachanisms of UAKD were identified. Both in vivo UAKD models of two independent Umod mutant mouse lines revealed to be of important value. For instance, so far commonly used in vitro models for this disease were recently described to be not suitbale to analyze potential disease mechanisms in UAKD. This is in line with the findings of the studies of this DFG-funded project in testing the effect of 4-PBA to influence ER trafficking defect of mutant UMOD. A putative therapeutic use of 4-PBA was proposed by two independent research groups due to their in vitro results, but in the studies of this DFG-funded project, even a deterioration of kidney function in UAKD in vivo was detected. Within this funding period, new objectives were evolved, for instance what is the mechanisms why UAKD affected kidneys seemed to be protected against acute ischemic reperfusion injury.
