The soluble intracellular domain of megalin does not affect renal proximal tubular function in vivo

ABSTRACT: The endocytic receptor megalin constitutes the main pathway for clearance of plasma proteins from the glomerular filtrate in the proximal tubules. However, little is know about the mechanisms that control receptor activity. A widely discussed hypothesis states that the intracellular domain (ICD) of megalin, released upon ligand binding, acts as a transcription regulator to suppress receptor expression - a mechanism proposed to safeguard the proximal tubules from protein overload. Here, we have put this hypothesis to the test by generating a mouse model co-expressing the soluble ICD and the full-length receptor. Despite pronounced expression in the proximal tubules, the ICD failed to exert any effects on renal proximal tubular function such as megalin expression, protein retrieval, or renal gene transcription. Thus, our data argue that the ICD does not play a role in regulation of megalin activity in vivo in the proximal tubules. We used microarrays to compare gene expression profile in adult kidney from a new mouse model expressing the intracellular domain of megalin with wildtype. 10 week old mice were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Three individuals for each genotype were analyzed comparing heterozygous animals for the intracellular domain of megalin with littermates controls.

Gene expression profiles in isolated proximal tubules and whole kidneys of rats after cisplatin-administration

Project description:To clarify the effects of cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II, CDDP) on the gene expression profiles in renal proximal tubules, microarray analyses were carried out using total RNA samples isolated from microdissected proximal tubules and whole kidneys. The molecular events underlying acute kidney injury (AKI) in the proximal tubules of rats with cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity were successfully clarified with 17,000 transcripts. Renal proximal tubules were isolated under microscopy, and transcriptome data were collected with Rat Genome Survey MicroarrayÂ® (Applied Biosystems)

Peroxisomes are dispensable for normal renal function.

Project description:Peroxisomes are highly abundant in proximal tubules where peroxisomal enzymes have been proposed to play an important role in a variety of metabolic and antioxidant functions. This hypothesis was supported by human genetic studies that identified mutations leading to peroxisomal biogenesis deficiency, resulting in severe multi-organ damage (Zellweger’s spectrum disorders (ZSD)), including renal impairment. However, the role of proximal tubule peroxisomes in renal (patho)physiology remains uninvestigated. We addressed this question in mice with conditional ablation of peroxisomal biogenesis in the renal tubule. Our results demonstrate that renal tubular peroxisomes are dispensable for normal renal function and suggest that renal damage in ZSD patients is of extrarenal origin.

Transcriptional profiling of the zebrafish proximal tubule

Project description:The proximal tubules of the kidney carry out the bulk of solute reabsorption from the glomerular filtrate. They are also highly susceptible to damage as a result of diabetes or other syndromes that affect the kidney. The zebrafish embryonic/larval form of kidney, the pronephros, represents a simplified form of the mammalian organ, yet is easier to access and manipulate. We have recently described the importance of Hnf1b as master regulator in pronephros differentiation. Here, we establish a high-resolution expression profile of isolated, GFP-labelled proximal tubules from 3-day-old zebrafish. To enrich the profile in genes of functional relevance during pronephros differentiation, proximal tubules from Hnf1b-depleted larvae were analysed in parallel and differential expression analysis was performed.

PPARs and c-Myc regulate metabolism of renal tubules

Project description:Different segments of renal tubules have distinct metabolic features and functions, and defective metabolism in renal tubules is involved in the pathobiology of kidney diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying the metabolic regulation in renal tubules remain to be defined. We demonstrated that the renal proximal tubule (PT) has high expression of fatty acid and lipid metabolism enzymes, which is transcriptionally upregulated by abundantly expressed peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)/γ to support active lipid metabolism. In contrast, the renal distal tubule (DT) has elevated glycolytic enzyme expression corresponding with high rates of glycolysis, and this increased expression is mediated by abundantly expressed c-Myc. In addition, Nrf2 upregulated glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and NADP-dependent malic enzyme 1 expression for NADPH production and antioxidation in the DT. Highly expressed PPARγ transcriptionally enhanced expression of the protease iRhom2 in the PT, which suppressed epidermal growth factor (EGF) expression and secretion, inhibiting EGF receptor activation-dependent glycolytic gene expression and maintaining the low level of glycolysis. PPARγ inhibition reduced iRhom2 expression and increased EGF and GLUT1 expression in the PT in mice, resulting in hypertrophy of renal tubules and inhibited kidney functions, which can be rescued by inhibition of glycolysis via treatment with 2-deoxy-D-glucose. These findings delineate instrumental molecular mechanisms underlying the active lipid metabolism and suppressed glycolysis in the PT and active glycolysis in the DT and reveal critical roles for PPARs and c-Myc in maintaining metabolic homeostasis in the kidney

Rat Kidney MS analysis with dehydration and cyclosporine treatment

Project description:Background- CINAC-patients can be identified by the recently discovered renal proximal tubular cell lysosomal lesions which are also observed in patients experiencing calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) nephrotoxicity, suggesting that CINAC is a toxin-induced nephropathy. An alternative hypothesis advocates chronic heat stress/dehydration as the major etiological factor for CINAC. Here, we evaluated in rats to what extent heat stress/dehydration reflects the renal CINAC histopathology in humans. Methods- Wistar rats were divided in 3 groups. Group 1(n=6) had free access to drinking water (control group). Group 2(n=8) was water deprived for 10 hours per 24hr, 5 days/week and placed in an incubator (37°C) for 30 min/hr during water deprivation. Group 3(n=8) underwent daily oral gavage with cyclosporine (40mg/kg body weight). After 28 days kidneys were collected for light- and electron microscopic histopathology and proteomic analysis. Results- Cyclosporine rats developed renal cortical lesions mimicking those of CINAC patients i.e. atrophic proximal tubules with associated tubulo-interstitial fibrosis. PASM staining demonstrated enlarged argyrophilic granules in the affected proximal tubules, identified as lysosomes by LAMP1 immunofluorescent staining. Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of enlarged dysmorphic lysosomes, closely mimicking the dysmorphic lysosomes seen in CINAC-patients. Dehydration was demonstrated by urinary osmolality and fluctuating body weight but showed none of the histological features of CINAC patients. Proteomic analysis confirmed cellular toxicity of cyclosporine, whereas the dehydration group lacked any of these toxicity markers. Conclusion- Dehydration/heat stress alone does not lead to the renal proximal tubular and interstitial lesions as observed in CINAC-patients. The histopathological analogy between CINAC and CNI nephrotoxicity in rats and humans and CINAC supports the toxicological etiology.

Transcription profiling of human kidney glomerular and tubular progenitor cells

Project description:Multipotent progenitor cells (MPs) have been observed in human kidneys and particularly in Bowman's capsule and proximal tubules. The kidney owns the ability to repair local damage and renal MPs may play a role in the regenerative processes. Microarray technology was applied to identify differentially expressed genes among resident MPs isolated from glomeruli and tubules of normal renal tissue, renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The results of our analysis represent a starting point for further functional studies. Experiment Overall Design: This study includes three renal tissue samples which were processed to obtain 3 glomerular progenitor populations and 3 tubular ones. Three subcoltures of MSCs and RPTECs were included as well. The differences in gene expression patterns of the 4 cell types were found out.

A Phase 1/2 Trial of TC-510 In Patients With Advanced Mesothelin-Expressing Cancer

Project description:TC-510 is a novel cell therapy that consists of autologous genetically engineered T cells expressing two synthetic constructs: first, a single-domain antibody that recognizes human Mesothelin, fused to the CD3-epsilon subunit which, upon expression, is incorporated into the endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) complex and second, a PD-1:CD28 switch receptor, which is expressed on the surface of the T cell, independently from the TCR. The PD-1:CD28 switch receptor comprises the PD-1 extracellular domain fused to the CD28 intracellular domain via a transmembrane domain. Thus, the switch is designed to produce a costimulatory signal upon engagement with PD-L1 on cancer cells.
