Studies in mice have demonstrated that inactivation of ClC-5 is associated with a severe trafficking defect in PT cells, with loss of megalin and cubilin at the brush border, subsequent loss of their ligands in the urine, and impaired lysosomal processing [22,23,27]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Furthermore, genetic inactivation of the Clcn5 gene in mice mimics the severe PT dysfunction observed in Dent's disease, including hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (see below). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
For instance, it has been suggested that collecting duct cells lacking ClC-5 may show an impaired ability of internalization of calcium crystals adhering to apical cell surface [35]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The hypercalciuria observed in patients with Dent's disease and some ClC-5-deficient mice may be secondary to the PT dysfunction (urinary loss of vitamin D binding protein and reduced phosphate absorption, leading to increased 1,25(OH)2-vitamin D3 synthesis) or, at least in part, caused by the functional loss of ClC-5 in the TAL. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In summary, we can hypothesize that the functional loss of ClC-5 is essentially reflected by manifestations of PT dysfunction and may contribute to the genesis of kidney stones in different ways, reflecting its involvement in specific tubular functions. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Mice lacking ClC-5 develop a euthyroid goiter, which results from impaired apical iodide efflux (secondary to down-regulated pendrin) rather than defective apical endocytosis [37]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The cortical uptake of (99m)Tc-DMSA was abolished in Clcn5 knockout mice, a model of proximal tubule dysfunction. | |||||||||||||||
