"Finally, we show that treatment of RC/RC mice with the anti-inflammatory drug HCQ, which can inhibit the NLRP3/Caspase-1 inflammasome among its effects, both protects kidney function in females and restrains cystic growth in both females and males, suggesting its potential use in the treatment of ADPKD patients.In initial studies we found that the expression of multiple cellular sensors that act upstream of Caspase-1/inflammasome activation are elevated in cystic kidneys of both human ADPKD and PKD model mice, suggesting that the inflammasome priming process has occurred."
