    Hum Mol Genet 20:4143-54. 2011
    ..Our results suggest that PC1 acts as a negative regulator of STAT3 and that blocking STAT3 signaling with pyrimethamine or similar drugs may be an attractive therapy for human ADPKD...

    Ayumi Takakura
    Renal Division, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, 4 Blackfan Circle, Boston, MA 02115, USA
    Hum Mol Genet 18:2523-31. 2009
    ..These data demonstrate, for the first time, a role for polycystin-1 in kidney injury and repair and indicate that renal injury constitutes a 'third hit' resulting in rapid cyst formation in adulthood...
