For our November 2011 podcast listen in as Associate Editor Lisa Satlin discusses our featured article, "Tolvaptan inhibits ERK-dependent cell proliferation, Cl- secretion and in vitro cyst growth of human ADPKD cells stimulated by vasopressin" with Darren Wallace of The University of Kansas Medical Center. Dr. Wallace has put together a very exciting study as his group examined the effects of graded concentrations of tolvaptan on AVP-induced cAMP production, ERK-mediated cell proliferation, Cl- secretion and in vitro cyst growth of human ADPKD cyst epithelial cells. Gail A. Reif, Tamio Yamaguchi, Emily Nivens, Hiroyuki Fujiki, Cibele S. Pinto, and Darren P. Wallace. Tolvaptan inhibits ERK-dependent cell proliferation, Cl- secretion, and in vitro cyst growth of human ADPKD cells stimulated by vasopressin.
