VX-809 slows cyst growth in pkd1−/− mouse kidney. A, representative images of normal pkd1+/+ (no doxycycline) or pkd1−/− mouse kidney treated with doxycycline (doxy) to induce cyst formation and additionally treated with either DMSO or VX-809. Scale bar is 2 mm. B, measurement of % cyst area = cyst/total kidney cross-sectional area (43). Legends = mice injected only with DMSO, no doxycycline (ND); mice injected with DMSO + VX-809 (ND + VX-809); mice injected with doxycycline (D); mice injected with doxycycline + VX809 (D + VX-809). *, p < 0.05; ****, p < 0.0001; ns, not significant.
