Renal transcriptome profiles from mice infected with Leptospira spp.

ABSTRACT: Leptospirosis caused by pathogenic Leptospira spp. leads to kidney damage that may progress to chronic kidney disease. However, how leptospiral infections lead to renal damage is unclear. Here, we apply microarray platforms to determine the murine renal transcriptome-wide investigation of gene expression changes and biological pathways associated with leptospiral infection-related kidney damage. The aims of this study are to investigate a global analysis of renal gene expression associated with renal damage that was induced by leptospiral infection using experimental murine models. The result of microarray analysis showed that 467 and 927 genes to be differentially expressed in mice kidney with pathogenic leptospiral infection after day 7 and 28, respectively. Moreover, the result also showed that the 508 significantly differentially expressed genes in the kidneys of mice after infection with non-pathogenic leptospires at 7 days post-infection, and the 1,067 transcripts significantly differentially expressed in these kidneys at 28 days post-infection. Biological pathways performed using KEGG pathway enrichment analysis (P-value < 1E-5) showed that a total of 6 and 7 pathways were significantly enriched at 7 and 28 days post-infection with pathogenic leptospires, respectively. A total of 25 pathways were significantly enriched at day 28 following the non-pathogenic leptospiral infection. However, none of pathways were found in microarray data at day 7 post-infection with non-pathogenic leptospires. In addition, the antigen processing and presentation pathways was significantly enriched at 7 and 28 days post-infection with pathogenic leptospires, and at day 28 following the non-pathogenic leptospiral infection.

Different responses of murine and human macrophages to leptospiral infection revealed by comparative array analysis

Project description:Leptospirosis is a re-emerging tropical infectious disease caused by the pathogenic Leptospira spp. The different host innate immune responses were partially related to the different severity of leptospirosis. In this study, we employed transcriptomics and cytokine array to comparatively calculate the responses of murine peritoneal macrophages (MPM) and human peripheral blood monocytes (HBM) to leptospiral infection, and uncover a series of different expression regulations of these two immune cells. The regulation percentages in several biological processes of MPM, such as the antigen process and presentation, the regulation of membrane potential, and the innate immune response, etc., were much greater than those of HBM (>2 folds). In HBM and MPM, the CASP8 and FADD-like apoptosis regulator genes were significantly up-regulated, which supported previous results that the caspase-8/3 pathway plays an important role in macrophage apoptosis during leptospiral infection. The key component of complement pathway, C3, was only up-regulated in MPM. Several cytokines (e.g. IL-10, TNF-alpha) were differently expressed at both mRNA and protein level in MPM and HBM. The differences in the transcriptomics and the cytokine expression revealed in this study were partially consistent with the different outcomes of the chronic and acute leptospirosis; thus, these findings facilitated further molecular study on the innate immune response to leptospiral infection. Murine peritoneal macrophages (MPM) and human peripheral blood monocytes (HBM) were infected by pathogenic Leptospira. The host cells were collected at 1h, 2h, and 4h after infection. The uninfected macrophage sample was designed as a negative control. Three biological replicates were designed for each sample type. There were totally 24 hybridizations (12 for MPM, and 12 for HBM) included in this submission.

RNAseq of kidneys from a mice model of chronic leptospirosis infection and induced a secondary nephrotoxic injury by adenine feeding

Project description:Background The mysterious chronic kidney disease is multifactorial causes. One of the risk factors is leptospirosis, a re-emerging infectious disease caused by Leptospira spp., for endemic leptospirosis tend to coincide with high-incidence regions of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology. This study aims to investigate the role of leptospirosis as an emerging culprit in which chronic subclinical kidney injury, may predispose to progressive kidney disease when superimposed on secondary nephrotoxic injury. Methods Adenine-induced renal injury in chronic leptospira-infected C57/BL6 mice were studied for evaluating the renal function, histology and gene expression changes. We employed RNA sequencing-based renal transcriptome to investigate pathogenic pathways associated with secondary nephrotoxic injury in chronic kidney injury due to leptospirosis. Results The severity of kidney lesions was increased and the expression of immune/inflammation/fibrosis genes were significantly up-regulated in either low-dose (0.1%) and high-dose (0.2%) adenine-induced renal injury superimposed on infected mice. Whole renal transcriptome analysis reveals that the substantial amplification of the tremendous amount of expressed genes and fibrosis-related pathways was found in adenine-induced kidney injury add-on to leptospira-infected mice which correlated with kidney dysfunction and fibrosis compared to infection or adenine itself. A total of 41 differentially expressed genes associated with fibrosis were identified in infected mice fed with adenine, suggesting that these potential genes contributed to aggravated renal progression occurred in adenine-fed chronic leptospira-infected mice. Conclusions In summary, this study indicates that chronic subclinical kidney infection when exposed to different degree of secondary nephrotoxic injury may predispose to exacerbated and progressive chronic kidney disease.

Deficiency of C3a receptor attenuates the development of diabetic nephropathy (Diabetic Group)

Project description:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Emerging evidence suggests that complement activation is involved in the pathogenesis of DN. The aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenic role of C3a and C3a receptor (C3aR) in DN. The expression of C3aR was examined in the renal specimen of DN patients. Using a C3aR gene knockout mice (C3aR-/-), we evaluated kidney injury in diabetic mice. The mouse gene expression microarray was performed to further explore the pathogenic role of C3aR. Then the underlying mechanism was investigated in vitro with macrophage treated with C3a. Compared with normal controls, the renal expression of C3aR was significantly increased in DN patients. C3aR-/- diabetic mice developed less severe diabetic renal damage compared with WT diabetic mice, exhibiting significantly lower level of albuminuria and milder renal pathological injury. Microarray profiling uncovered significantly suppressed inflammatory responses and T cell adaptive immunity in C3aR-/- diabetic mice compared with WT diabetic mice and this result was further verified by immunohistochemical staining of renal CD4+, CD8+ T cells and macrophages infiltration. In vitro study demonstrated C3a can enhance macrophages secreted cytokines which could induce inflammatory responses and differentiation of T cell lineage. In conclusion, C3aR deficiency could attenuate diabetic renal damage through suppressing inflammatory responses and T cell adaptive immunity, possibly by influencing macrophages secreted cytokines. Thus, C3aR may be a promising therapeutic target for DN.

Renal Cell Carcinomas in Vinylidene Chloride Exposed Male B63FC1 Mice Are Characterized by Oxidative Stress and TP53 Overexpression

Project description:Vinylidene Chloride has been widely used in the production of plastics and flame retardants. Exposure of B6C3F1 to VDC in the 2-year National Toxicology Program carcinogenicity bioassay resulted in a dose-dependent increase in renal cell hyperplasias, adenomas, and carcinomas (RCCs). Global gene expression analysis showed overrepresentation of pathways associated with chronic xenobiotic and oxidative stress in RCCs from VDC-exposed B6C3F1 mice, as well as cMyc overexpression and dysregulation of Tp53 cell cycle checkpoint and DNA damage repair pathways. Trend analysis comparing RCC, VDC-exposed kidney, and vehicle control kidney showed a conservation of pathway dysregulation in terms of overrepresentation of xenobiotic and oxidative stress, and DNA damage and cell cycle checkpoint pathways in both VDC-exposed kidney and RCC, suggesting that these mechanisms play a role in the development of RCC in VDC-exposed mice. Compare mouse renal cell carcinoma versus treated kidney and vehicle control normal kidney, 6 replicates each group.

iRhom2 Promotes Lupus Nephritis through ADAM17-Dependent TNF-α and EGFR Signaling

Project description:Lupus nephritis (LN) often results in progressive renal dysfunction. The inactive Rhomboid 2 (iRhom2) is a newly identified key regulator of A disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), whose substrates, such as TNF-α and heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF), have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease. Here we demonstrate that deficiency of iRhom2 protects the lupus-prone Fcgr2b-/- mice from developing severe kidney damage without altering anti-double stranded (ds) DNA Ab production, by simultaneously blocking the HB-EGF/EGFR and the TNF-α signaling in the kidney tissues. Unbiased transcriptome profiling of kidneys and kidney macrophages revealed that TNF-α and HB-EGF/EGFR signaling pathways are highly upregulated in Fcgr2b-/- mice; alterations that were diminished in the absence of iRhom2. Pharmacological blockade of either TNF-α or EGFR signaling protected Fcgr2b-/- mice from severe renal damage. Finally, kidneys from LN patients showed increased iRhom2 and HB-EGF expression, with interstitial HB-EGF expression significantly associated with chronicity indices. Our data suggest that activation of iRhom2/ADAM17-dependent TNF-α and EGFR signaling plays a crucial role in mediating irreversible kidney damage in LN, thereby uncovering a novel target for selective and simultaneous dual inhibition of two major pathological pathways in the effector arm of the disease.
