The discovery of mislocalized sodium-potassium pump (Na,K-ATPase) in the apical membrane of cyst-lining epithelia alluded to reversal of polarity as a possible explanation for the fluid secretion. The topic of apical Na,K-ATPase in cysts remains controversial. We investigated the localization of the Na,K-ATPase and assessed the apical-basolateral polarization of cyst-lining epithelia by means of immunohistochemistry in kidney tissue from six polycystic kidney disease patients undergoing nephrectomy. The Na,K-ATPase \u03b11 subunit was conventionally situated in the basolateral membrane of all immunoreactive cysts. Proteins of the Crumbs and partitioning defective (Par) complexes were localized to the apical membrane domain in cyst epithelial cells. The apical targeting protein Syntaxin-3 also immunolocalized to the apical domain of cyst-lining epithelial cells. Proteins of the basolateral Scribble complex immunolocalized to the basolateral domain of cysts. Thus, no deviations from the typical epithelial distribution of basic cell polarity proteins were observed in the cysts from the six patients. Furthermore, we confirmed that cysts can originate from virtually any tubular segment with preserved polarity. In conclusion, we find no evidence of a reversal in apical-basolateral polarity in cyst-lining epithelia in polycystic kidney disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25031904","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,5]],"date-time":"2024-02-05T05:22:44Z","timestamp":1707110564000},"page":"1904","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Cyst Epithelium in Polycystic Kidney Disease Patients Displays Normal Apical-Basolateral Cell Polarity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8793-3405","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samuel Loft","family":"Sandegaard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedicine, Health Faculty, Aarhus University, DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4486-5994","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Riishede","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedicine, Health Faculty, Aarhus University, DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3715-7266","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Henrik","family":"Birn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedicine, Health Faculty, Aarhus University, DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Health Faculty, Aarhus University, DK-8200 Aarhus N, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helle Hasager","family":"Damkier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedicine, Health Faculty, Aarhus University, DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6109-247X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeppe","family":"Praetorius","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedicine, Health Faculty, Aarhus University, DK-8000 Aarhus C, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1287","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(07)60601-1","article-title":"Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease","volume":"369","author":"Torres","year":"2007","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"50","DOI":"10.1038\/s41572-018-0047-y","article-title":"Polycystic kidney disease","volume":"4","author":"Bergmann","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nat.
