摘要
PAX2转录因子是肾脏发育的重要调控因子,可在前肾、中肾和后肾发育的全过程中表达,参与胚胎肾脏各个发育阶段的调控,在成熟肾单位表达消失。近来发现,PAX2在病理肾中出现再表达,其基因突变和重新表达与肾脏先天及后天性疾病紧密相关。该文从PAX2的正常表达、基因突变与异常表达在肾脏疾病中的作用和意义方面展开综述。
PAX2 gene encodes a nuclear transcription factor and plays a pivotal role for embryonic kidney development. It is expressed during the entire developmental process of pmnephron, mesonephron and metanephron, involving in the regulation of embryonic kidney development at various fetal stages, but its expression disappeared in mature nephrous. Recently, it was found that PAX2 was re-expressed in nephropathy. Gene mutation and re-expression of PAX:2 are closely related with congenital and acquired renal diseases. This paper reviews the role and significance of PAX2 expression in kidney disease from the aspects of normal expression, gene mutation and abnormal expression.
