Project description:p53 limits the self-renewing ability of a variety of stem cells. Here, contrary to its classical role in restraining cell proliferation, we demonstrate a divergent function of p53 in maintenance of self-renewal of the nephron progenitor population in the embryonic mouse kidney. p53-null nephron progenitor cells (NPC) exhibit progressive loss of the self-renewing progenitor niche in the cap mesenchyme, identified by Cited1 and Six2 expression, and loss of cap integrity. Nephron endowment is regulated by NPC availability and their differentiation to nephrons. Quantitatively, the Six2p53-/- cap has 30% fewer Six2GFP+ cells. While the apoptotic index is unchanged the proliferation index is significantly lower, in accordance with cell cycle analysis data showing less mutant Six2p53-/-;GFP+ cells in S and G2/M phases in comparison to Six2p53+/+;GFP+ cells. The mutant kidneys also show nephron deficit and decreased Fgf8 expression. To investigate the underlying changes in gene expression in the cap mesenchyme that contribute to the Six2p53-/- phenotype, we utilized RNA-Seq for transcriptome comparison. Top biological processes affected by p53 loss are development and morphogenesis, cell adhesion/migration, cell survival and metabolism. Cells from the mutant CM showed increased cellular ROS levels as well as deregulated expression of energy metabolism and mitochondrial genes suggesting metabolic dysfunction. Adhesion defects are visualized by decreased immunostaining of adhesion marker NCAM, and may possibly contribute to the differentiation defect as well. Altogether our data suggest a novel role for p53 in enabling self-renewal of the NPC and preservation of the progenitor niche, and thus regulating nephron endowment. mRNA profiles of wild-type (WT) and conditional p53 knockout (KO) of Six2+ mouse nephron progenitor cells (NPC) at embryonic day 15.5

Project description:Nephron endowment is a key determinant of later life hypertension and kidney disease. Here we studied whether epigenetic changes, specifically the ten–eleven translocation (Tet) DNA demethylase family, Tet1, Tet2, and Tet3-mediated active DNA hydroxymethylation is necessary for gene expression regulation and kidney differentiation. We generated mice with deletion of Tet1, Tet2 or Tet3 in Six2 positive nephron progenitors (NP). We did not observe changes in development or kidney function in mice with nephron progenitor-specific deletion of Tet1, Tet2, Tet3 or Tet1/Tet2 or Tet1/Tet3. On the other hand, mice with combined Tet2 and Tet3 loss in Six2-positive NPCs failed to form nephrons leading to kidney failure and perinatal death. Tet2 and Tet3 loss in Six2-positive NPs resulted in defect in mesenchymal to epithelial transition and renal vesicle differentiation. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing, single cell RNA sequencing, and gene and protein expression assay identified a defect in expression in genes in the WNT-β-catenin signaling pathway in absence of Tet2 and Tet3 due to a failure in demethylation of these loci. Our results indicate the key role of Tet2 and Tet3-mediated active cytosine hydroxymethylation in NPs in kidney development and nephron endowment.

Project description:Low nephron endowment at birth is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease. The prevalence of this condition is increasing due to higher survival rates of preterm infants and children with multi- organ birth defect syndromes that affect the kidney and urinary tract. We created a mouse model of congenital low nephron number due to deletion of Mta2 in nephron progenitor cells. Mta2 is a core component of the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) chromatin remodeling complex. These mice developed albuminuria at 4 weeks of age followed by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) at 8 weeks, with progressive kidney injury and fibrosis. Our studies reveal that altered mitochondrial metabolism in the post-natal period leads to accumulation of neutral lipids in glomeruli at 4 weeks of age followed by reduced mitochondrial oxygen consumption. We found that NuRD cooperated with Zbtb7a/7b to regulate a large number of metabolic genes required for fatty acid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation. Analysis of human kidney tissue also supported a role for reduced mitochondrial lipid metabolism and ZBTB7A/7B in FSGS and CKD. We propose that an inability to meet the physiological and metabolic demands of post-natal somatic growth of the kidney promotes the transition to CKD in the setting of glomerular hypertrophy due to low nephron endowment.

Project description:Microarrays were used to examine gene expression changes between control and mutant (YapCM-/-) kidneys to investigate molecular changes responsible for abnormal nephrogenesis seen in Yap mutants. This work identifies a list of potential genes regulated by Yap during nephron development. Total RNA obtained from three mutants and three controls kidneys at embryonic day E13.5 were used for the expression profiling analysis.
