Effectiveness of Vasopressin V2 Receptor Antagonists OPC-31260 and OPC-41061 on Polycystic Kidney Disease Development in the PCK Rat

Abstract

cAMP plays a major role in cystogenesis. Recent in vitro studies suggested that cAMP stimulates B-Raf/ERK activation and proliferation of cyst-derived cells in a Ca(2+) inhibitable, Ras-dependent manner. OPC-31260, a vasopressin V2 receptor (VPV2) antagonist, was shown to lower renal cAMP and inhibit renal disease development and progression in models orthologous to human cystic diseases. Here it is shown that OPC-41061, an antagonist chosen for its potency and selectivity for human VPV2, is effective in PCK rats. PCK kidneys have increased Ras-GTP and phosphorylated ERK levels and 95-kD/68-kD B-Raf ratios, changes that are corrected by the administration of OPC-31260 or OPC-41061. These results support the importance of cAMP in the pathogenesis of polycystic kidney disease, confirm the effectiveness of a VPV2 antagonist to be used in clinical trials for this disease, and suggest that OPC-31260 and OPC-41061 inhibit Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling in polycystic kidneys.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
