Article Title: Polycystin-1 regulates ARHGAP35-dependent centrosomal RhoA activation and ROCK signaling
Journal: JCI Insight
doi: 10.1172/jci.insight.135385
Figure Legend Snippet: ( A ) GTP-RhoA was significantly increased in PKD1 cystic cell lines compared with control cells ( n = 4) using a Rhotekin-GTP pulldown assay. ( B ) GTP-RhoA was significantly increased in Pkd1- knockout kidneys compared with controls ( n = 3). ( C ) Phosphorylation of myosin light chain (pMLC), a major downstream target of ROCK, was significantly upregulated in isogenic PKD1 -null cells ( n = 3). ( D ) Expression of dominant negative RhoA (T19N) in PKD1 cells resulted in a significant increase in cilia length compared with dominant negative Cdc42 (N17) or Rac1 (N17) ( n = 3 independent experiments, N = 81 cells). ( E ) Active RhoA was localized using a GTP-RhoA biosensor (R-GBD) in control and PKD1 cells. In ciliated cells, active RhoA (GFP) was visualized at the cilia base (arrows) and was significantly increased in PKD1 cells ( n = 3 independent experiments, N = 22 cells). Insets show cilia under higher magnification (original magnification, ×1000). ( F ) Rapamycin-inducible centrosomal targeted expression (arrow) of constitutively active RhoA (Q63L) was associated with a significant decrease in cilia length in control cells compared with uninduced cells ( n = 3 independent experiments, N = 70 cells) * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, **** P < 0.0001. Significance determined by 2-tailed Student’s t test ( A–C and E ). Significance determined by 1-way ANOVA corrected (Dunnett) for multiple comparison ( D and F ). ADPKD, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Figure Legend Snippet: A model showing how mutation of PC1 could lead to reduced cilia/centrosomal localization or retention of ARHGAP35. Two possible scenarios are shown: (a) trafficking and delivery of PC1 and ARHGAP35 in the same vesicles to the centrosome compartment and (b) retention of cleaved PC1 C-terminus (CT1) bound to centrosomal ARHGAP35. The RhoA-dependent kinase, ROCK, has been previously shown to be localized to centrosomes . Loss of centrosomal ARHGAP35 leads to the accumulation of centrosomal “active” GTP-RhoA, the activation of ROCK and its downstream effectors (e.g., pMLC), leading to increased actin polymerization and shorter cilia. It is plausible that the local increase in centrosomal ROCK activity could lead in turn to a cascade of ROCK activation, which spreads throughout the cell. PC1, polycystin-1; ADPKD, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
