Key Words	Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease; Calcium signaling; cAMP; Cell growth; Non-capacitative calcium entry
Core Tip	In the present article, we discuss: (1) the regulation of calcium signaling in the primary cilia of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) cells and the downstream processes that lead to cystogenesis; (2) how calcium impairment promotes cell proliferation by activating different signaling pathways; (3) the activity of non-capacitative calcium entry channels, which in PKD1-silenced cells stimulates cell growth by Ca2+ oscillations and nuclear factor of activated T-cells activation, highlighting new findings showing the role of polycystin-2 in calcium oscillations; (4) the impairment of intracellular calcium signaling associated with apoptosis; and (5) the use of calcium channel blockers and calcium modulators in the treatment of ADPKD.
