Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Kaplan-Meier survival curves of control (N=77), HoxB7-Cre; Pkd1 f/f (N=41), HoxB7-Cre; Pkd1 f/f ; Ankmy2 f/f (N=37) and HoxB7-Cre; Ankmy2 f/f (N=37) mice. **, p=0024 by log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. (B) H&E and whole mount images of P15 kidneys in control, HoxB7-Cre; Pkd1 f/f , HoxB7-Cre; Pkd1 f/f ; Ankmy2 f/f , HoxB7-Cre; Ankmy2 f/f mice at P15 in C57BL/6J background. Images of multiple kidneys shown in Figure S3. (C) 2-Kidney to body weight ratios at P15 in HoxB7-Cre; Pkd1 f/f mice were not significantly different from HoxB7-Cre; Pkd1 f/f ; Ankmy2 f/f . Both males (black) and females (red) are shown. (D) At P15 cystic index in HoxB7-Cre; Pkd1 f/f kidneys compared to HoxB7-Cre; Pkd1 f/f ; Ankmy2 f/f were not significantly different. (E) AQP2/pCREB co-staining in kidney sections at P15 shows comparable nuclear pCREB levels in HoxB7-Cre; Pkd1 f/f animals and HoxB7-Cre; Pkd1 f/f ; Ankmy2 f/f cysts. Scale: 50 µm. See also Supplemental Figure 2.
