Transcriptomics has allowed for a better understanding of disease, and the sequencing of individual genes is becoming a leading
approach to discovering novel germ lines. A newly defined cell type, described as transitional cells, was characterized based on
their expression of key marker genes that define principle cells (PC) and intercalated cells (IC). Gene expression patterns suggested that a Notch signaling pathway was activated during the transition from IC to PC. An experimental model studying the
transition in an inducible transgenic mouse demonstrated that Notch signaling and receptor expression is sufficient to drive cell
transition in differentiated adult kidney collecting tubule. The identification of novel cell lines allows for a more accurate diagnosis
of kidney disease and precise staging of disease. Molecular profiling and precision therapy will continue to revolutionize the field
of medicine and warrants further exploration.
