Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) Pathway Regulates Branching by Remodeling Epithelial Cell Adhesion

English version České info

Development of the ureter and collecting ducts of the kidney requires extensive growth and branching of an epithelial tube, the ureteric bud. While many genes that control this process are known, the intracellular signaling pathways that underlie renal morphogenesis remain poorly understood. The cellular changes that contribute to ureteric bud morphogenesis, such as adhesion and movements, are guided by intracellular signaling triggered by stimuli at the cell surface. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is known to regulate proliferation in general, but its precise functions during different cell cycle phases are debatable. Moreover, the role of MAPK activity in control of cell adhesion has been demonstrated in cultured cells, but such regulation in vivo remains to be elucidated. Here, we examine the importance of the MAPK activity in ureteric bud branching, and find that simultaneous lack of Mek1 and Mek2 genes allows elongation of the bud but specifically arrests new branch formation. We show that lack of MAPK activity leads to changes in focal adhesion molecules and E-cadherin mediated cell adhesion and delay in cell cycle progression. Our findings may help to understand the origins of certain congenital malformations in humans.
