DNA de novo (de)Methylation in the Kidney Contributes to Salt-Induced Hypertension [RRBS-seq]

ABSTRACT: Numerous adult diseases involving tissues that consist primarily of non-dividing cells are associated with changes in DNA methylation. It suggests a role for de novo methylation or demethylation of DNA, which is catalyzed by DNA methyltransferase 3 (Dnmt3) and ten-eleven translocases (Tet). However, the contribution of DNA de novo (de)methylation to these diseases remains nearly completely unproven. Broad changes in DNA methylation occurred within days in the renal outer medulla of Dahl SS rats fed a high-salt diet, a classic model of hypertension. Intra-renal administration of anti-Dnmt3a/Tet3 GapmeR’s attenuated high salt-induced hypertension in SS rats. The high salt diet induced differential expression of 1,712 genes in the renal outer medulla. Remarkably, the differential expression of 76% of these genes were prevented by anti-Dnmt3a/Tet3 GapmeR’s. The genes differentially expressed in response to the GapmeR’s were involved in the regulation of metabolism and inflammation and were significantly enriched for genes showing differential methylation in response to the GapmeR’s. These data indicate DNA de novo (de)methylation in the kidney contributes to the development of hypertension in SS rats. The findings should help to shift the paradigm of DNA methylation research in diseases involving non-dividing cells from correlative analysis to functional and mechanistic studies.

Dietary Effects on T Cell Methylomes and Functional Inhibition of DNA Methyltransferase Attenuates Salt-Sensitive Hypertension and Renal Damage in Dahl SS Rat

Project description:The Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rat is an established model of hypertension and renal damage that is accompanied with an activation of the immune system in the response to a high salt diet. Investigations into the effects of sodium-independent and –dependent components of the diet were shown to affect the disease phenotype with Dahl SS/JrHsdMcwi (SS/MCW) rats maintained on a purified diet (AIN-76A) presenting with a more severe phenotype relative to the grain-fed Dahl SS/JrHsdMcwiCrl rat (SS/CRL). Recently, T cells isolated from the kidneys of the two strains unveiled that transcriptomic and functional differences may contribute to the susceptibility of hypertension and renal damage. Since contributions of the immune system, environment and diet are documented to alter this phenotype, this present study examined the epigenetic profile of T cells isolated from the periphery and the kidney from these strains. In response to high salt challenge, the methylome of T cells isolated from the kidney of SS/MCW exhibit significantly more differentially methylated regions with a preference for hypermethylation compared to the SS/CRL kidney T cells. Circulating T cells exhibited similar methylation profiles between the strains. Utilizing transcriptomic data from T cells isolated from the same animals upon which the DNA methylation analysis was performed, a predominant negative correlation was observed between gene expression and DNA methylation in all groups. Lastly, inhibition of DNA methyltransferases blunted salt-induced hypertension and renal damage in the SS/MCW rats providing a functional role for methylation. The study demonstrated the influence of epigenetic modifications to immune cell function, highlighting the need for further investigations.

Transcriptomic Analysis in Renal T Lymphocytes Exposes Sodium-Independent Dietary Differences in Dahl Salt-Sensitive Rats

Project description:Background. The Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rat is an established model of salt-sensitive hypertension and renal damage. Recently, sodium-independent dietary effects were shown to be important in the development of the SS hypertensive phenotype. Compared to Dahl SS/JrHsdMcwi (SS/MCW) rats fed a purified diet (AIN-76A), grain-fed Dahl SS/JrHsdMcwiCrl rats (SS/CRL; Teklad 5L2F) were less susceptible to salt-induced hypertension and renal damage. Methods. With the known role of the immune system in hypertension, the present study characterized the immune cells infiltrating SS/MCW and SS/CRL kidneys. To further identify distinct molecular pathways between SS/MCW and SS/CRL, transcriptomic analysis was performed via RNA sequencing in T-cells isolated from the blood and kidneys of low and high salt-fed rats. Results. Following a 3-week high salt (4.0% NaCl) challenge, SS/CRL rats were protected from salt-induced hypertension (116.5±1.2 vs 141.9±14.4 mmHg) and albuminuria (21.7±3.5 vs 162.9±22.2 mg/day) compared to SS/MCW. Additionally, the absolute number of immune cells infiltrating the kidney was significantly reduced in SS/CRL. RNA-seq revealed >50% of all annotated genes in the entire transcriptome to be significantly differentially expressed in T-cells isolated from blood versus kidney. Pathway analysis of significant differentially expressed genes between SS/MCW and SS/CRL renal and circulating T-cells demonstrated salt-induced changes in genes related to inflammation in SS/MCW compared to metabolism-related pathways in SS/CRL. Conclusions. These functional and transcriptomic T-cell differences between SS/MCW and SS/CRL show that sodium-independent dietary effects may influence the immune response and infiltration of immune cells into the kidney, ultimately impacting susceptibility to salt-induced hypertension and renal damage.

Insights into Dahl salt-sensitive hypertension revealed

Project description:The results of this study identified a number of pathways potentially important for the amelioration of hypertension and renal injury in SS-13BN/Mcw rats, and these results generated a series of testable hypotheses related to the role of the renal medulla in the complex mechanism of salt-sensitive hypertension. Rats were paired for microarray hybridization, and the results were analyzed. Each of the four between-group comparisons comprised three pairs of rats examined by six microarrays with dye switching for each pair. Dye switching was not necessary for within-group comparisons, because the two rats of each pair were equivalent in terms of their treatment status. The expression data from the present study were combined with those from 24 microarrays hybridized in our previous study and used to identify genes exhibiting the most distinct temporal patterns of expression between SS and SS-13BN/Mcw over the time course studied.

Renal medullary genes in salt-sensitive hypertension

Project description:Substitution of chromosome 13 from Brown Norway BN/SsNHsd/Mcw (BN/Mcw) rats into the Dahl salt-sensitive SS/JrHsd/Mcw (SS/Mcw) rats resulted in substantial reduction of blood pressure salt sensitivity in this consomic rat strain designated SSBN13. In the present study, we attempted to identify genes associated with salt-sensitive hypertension by utilizing a custom, known-gene cDNA microarray to compare the mRNA expression profiles in the renal medulla (a tissue playing a pivotal role in long-term blood pressure regulation) of SS/Mcw and SSBN13 rats on either low-salt (0.4% NaCl) or high-salt (4% NaCl, 2 wk) diets. To increase the reliability of microarray data, we designed a four-way comparison experiment incorporating several levels of replication and developed a conservative yet robust data analysis method. Using this approach, from the 1,751 genes examined (representing more than 80% of all currently known rat genes), we identified 80 as being differentially expressed in at least 1 of the 4 comparisons.
