Cellular recruitment by podocyte-derived pro-migratory factors in assembly of the human renal filter

ABSTRACT: Analysis of monogenic kidney disease-causing genes, and secondary pathology resulting from systemic diseases including diabetes and hypertension, highlight the importance of the kidney’s filtering system, the renal corpuscles. To elucidate the developmental processes that establish the renal corpuscle, we employed single-nucleus droplet-based sequencing to capture single nuclei from the human fetal kidney. This enabled the identification of distinct cell types of the nephron (podocytes), interstitial (mesangial cells) and vascular (glomerulus) lineages that together generate the renal corpuscles. Computational trajectory analysis identified transient gene expression in the development of these cell types, predicting early precursors or mature podocytes express FBLN2, BMP4 or NTN4, in conjunction with recruitment, differentiation, and modeling of vascular and mesangial cell types into a functional filter. In vitro studies provide evidence these factors exhibit angiogenic or mesangial recruiting and inductive properties consistent with a key organizing role for podocyte precursors in kidney development. Together these studies define a spatiotemporal developmental program for the primary filtration unit of the human kidney and provide novel insights into cell interactions regulating co-assembly of constituent cell types.

RNA-SEQ analysis of various developing and adult kidney components.

Project description:We used micro-dissection techniques and/or FACS to isolate cell types from the developing and adult kidney (E11.5 ureteric buds, E12.5, P1 and P4 cap mesenchyme, E15.5 collecting ducts, proximal tubules, ureter, Adult renal proximal tubules, podocytes, endothelial and mesangial cells). RNA-SEQ analysis was performed to determine the transcriptional profile of each cell type, identify component specific transcripts and isoforms and cell-type specific long-noncoding RNAs. In addition the unbiased nature of RNA-SEQ will potentially identify novel transcripts that have not been annotated in the database. Total RNA is obtained from micro-dissected and/or FACS isolated embryonic and adult kidney components. The long term goal is to generate a transcriptional atlas of developing kidney.

Gene expression profiles of human podocyte cell line treated with and without ANGPT2

Project description:Glomerular diseases are the leading cause of chronic kidney diseases with pathomechanisms largely unclear. It is known that ANGPT2 regulates endothelial cell homeostasis and function via TEK/TIE2 and its deregulation causes endothelial damage. We found that ANGPT2 is upregulated in glomerular diseases and wondered whether it has any effect on glomerular podocytes and mesangial cells given that they have no or low TEK expression. We treated podocytes and mesangial cells in culture with ANGPT2 and found no overt cellular changes. RNA-seq analysis showed that gene expression was altered in both podocytes and mesangial cells and that the regulated genes in the two cell types were fundamentally different. GO and KEGG analyses showed that the two groups of regulated genes were enriched in distinct processes and pathways. These results suggest that ANGPT2 exerts effects on both podocytes and mesangial cells and that increased ANGPT2 may be involved in glomerular injury by affecting podocytes and mesangial cells in addition to endothelial cells.

Podocyte-specific deletion of tubular sclerosis complex 2 causes focal segmental glomerular sclerosis and progressive renal failure

Project description:Obesity can initiate and accelerate the progression of kidney diseases. However, it remains unclear how obesity affects renal dysfunction. Here, we show that a newly generated podocyte-specific tubular sclerosis complex 2 (Tsc2) knockout mouse model (Tsc2∆podocyte) develops proteinuria and dies due to end-stage renal dysfunction by 10 weeks of age. Tsc2∆podocyte mice exhibit an increased glomerular size and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, including podocyte foot process effacement, mesangial sclerosis and proteinaceous casts. Podocytes isolated from Tsc2∆podocyte mice show nuclear factor, erythroid derived 2, like 2-mediated increased oxidative stress response on microarray analysis and their autophagic activity is lowered through the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)—unc-51-like kinase 1 pathway. Rapamycin attenuated podocyte dysfunction and extends survival in Tsc2∆podocyte mice. Additionally, mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) activity is increased in podocytes of renal biopsy specimens obtained from obese patients with chronic kidney disease. Our work shows that mTORC1 hyperactivation in podocytes leads to severe renal dysfunction and that inhibition of mTORC1 activity in podocytes could be a key therapeutic target for obesity-related kidney diseases.

Transcriptomic profile of human embryonic renal corpuscles

Project description:In order to characterize and benchmark the podocytes-like cells generated through human ES cell differentiation, we generated transcriptional profiles of renal corpuscles from embryonic human kidneys using RNA-Seq. To compare, we also performed RNA-Seq of human immortalized podocyte cell lines before and after thermoswitch.

Kidney on a Chip

Project description:<p>We generated primary cultures from mechanically isolated kidney glomeruli (filtration unit of the nephron) which are composed of podocytes and mesangial cells. In parallel, we generated primary kidney cortex tubule cell cultures, which are composed primarily of proximal tubule cells. Early passage cultures of these two cell types were subjected to chromatin accessibility profiling (DNase-Seq) and gene expression profiling (RNA-Seq). We found thousands of dynamically regulated enhancers in both cell types that potentially regulate nearby and distal target genes that are differentially expressed. These data will be useful for understanding the epigenomic regulation of gene transcription in key kidney cell types.</p>

Novel role of TrkC in diabetic nephropathy and cross-talk of TrkC with insulin-related signaling

Project description:Diabetic nephropathy is a major cause of end-stage renal disease. Kidney podocytes play a central role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. With their intercellular contacts they assemble part of the kidney filter. Many molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy are not elucidated and targeted therapies are lacking. Nephron-specific TrkCknockout (TrkC-KO) and TrkC overexpressing mice exhibit features of diabetic nephropathy such as enlarged glomeruli with mesangial proliferation, basement membrane thickening, albuminuria and podocyte loss when aging. Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (Igf1R)- associated gene expression was regulated in TrkC-KO mice glomeruli by qPCR. Phosphoproteins associated with insulin, erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase (Erbb) and Toll-like receptor signaling were enriched in lysates of podocytes treated with the TrkC ligand neurotrophin-3(Nt-3) in a mass spectrometry analysis. Activation of TrkC by Nt-3 resulted in phosphorylation of the Igf1R on activating tyrosine residues in podocytes. Our results identify TrkC to be a potentially targetable mediator of diabetic nephropathy.
