Inhibition of SPL activity increases S1P but does not inhibit cystogenesis in jck mice. Male jck mice were treated from 26–64 days of age with 50 mg/l THI in the drinking water. (A) Quantitative analysis of kidney/body weight ratio (K/BW), cyst volume and BUN from jck mice treated with THI or vehicle controls. Data shown are the mean ± SEM, n = 10 vehicle and 8 THI-treated animals. (B) Representative H&E-stained sections from THI-treated jck mice or vehicle controls. (C) LC-MS analysis of bioactive SL levels in kidneys of THI- or vehicle-treated jck mice. *P < 0.05 compared with vehicle. (D) LC-MS analysis of structural GSL levels in kidneys of THI- or vehicle-treated jck mice. Data shown are the mean ± SEM of three representative animals.
