Single-cell RNA-seq profiling reveals novel insights in immune-complex deposition and epithelium transition in IgA nephropathy

ABSTRACT: IgA nephropathy represents the most prevalent chronic nephrosis worldwide. However, pathogenesis about IgA deposition and end-stage renal failure is still not well defined. Using single-cell RNA-seq, we identified the mesangial membrane receptor for IgA, which collaborates with increased extracellular matrix proteins and protease inhibitor to facilitate IgA deposition. Meanwhile, cell-cell interaction analysis revealed increased communications between mesangium and other cell types, uncovering how morbidity inside glomerulus spreads to whole kidney, which results in the genetic changes of kidney resident immune cells. Prominent interaction decreasing in intercalated cells leads to the discovery of a transitional cell type, which exhibited significant EMT and fibrosis features. Our work comprehensively characterized the pathological mesangial signatures, highlighting the step-by-step pathogenic process of IgA nephropathy from mesangium to epithelium.

Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling reveal insights of mesangial cell function in patients with IgA Nephropathy

Project description:IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerulonephritis in the world. The disease is characterized by galactose deficient IgA (gd-IgA) in the circulation forming immune complexes. The complexes are deposited in the glomerular mesangium leading to inflammation and loss of renal function, but the pathophysiology of the disease is still not fully understood. Using an integrated global transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approach we investigated the role of the mesangium in the onset and progression of IgAN. Global gene expression was investigated by microarray analysis of the glomerular compartment of renal biopsies from patients with IgAN. The influence of galactose deficient IgA (gd-IgA) on mesangial cells was investigated by proteomic profiling. By utilizing the previous published literature curated glomerular cell type-specific genes, we found that mesangial cells and their positive standard genes play a more dominant role in IgAN comparing to the podocyte standard genes. Additionally, the patient clinical parameters (serum creatinine values and estimated glomerular filtration rate - eGFR) significantly correlate with z-scores derived from expression profile of mesangial cell positive standard genes. 22 common pathways were identified both from in vivo microarray data and in vitro mesangial cell mass spectrometry data and the main part was inflammatory pathways. The correlation between clinical data and mesangial standard genes allows for a better understanding of the onset of IgAN. The genes, proteins and their corresponding pathways identified in this paper give us novel insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to progression of IgAN. RNA from glomerular compartment was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

RNA-seq for hand-microdissected glomeruli from Immunoglobulin A nephropathy patients

Project description:We collected glomeruli from biopsy specimens from IgA nephropathy patients with relatively preserved kidney function (eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and urine protein-to-creatinine ratio < 3 g/g) and from normal kidney cortices by hand microdissection and performed RNA-seq. The transcriptomic profiling of IgA nephropathy glomerulus provide insights for intraglomerular pathophysiology of IgAN before reaching profound kidney dysfunction.

Single-Cell Transcriptome Profiling of the Kidney Glomerulus Identifies Key Cell Types and Reactions to Injury

Project description:Background: The kidney glomerulus is a specialized capillary bed that is involved in urine production and blood pressure control. Glomerular injury is a major cause of chronic kidney disease, a widespread epidemic without therapeutic options. Single-cell transcriptomics have radically improved our ability to characterize complex organs, such as the kidney. Cells of the glomerulus, however, have been largely underrepresented in previous single cell kidney studies due to their paucity and intractability. Methods: We used single-cell RNA sequencing to comprehensively characterize the different types of cells in the glomerulus from healthy mice and from four different disease models (nephrotoxic serum nephritis, diabetes, doxorubicin toxicity, CD2AP deficiency). Results: All cell types in the glomerulus were identified using unsupervised clustering analysis. We identified novel marker genes and gene signatures of mesangial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells of the afferent and efferent arteriole, parietal epithelial cells, and three different types of endothelial cells. Analysis of the disease models revealed cell type-specific and injury type-specific responses in the glomerulus, including acute activation of the Hippo pathway in podocytes after nephrotoxic immune injury. Conclusions: We have generated a comprehensive high-resolution single-cell transcriptomic profile of the kidney glomerulus from healthy and injured mice. The dataset provides a useful resource for identifying novel disease-related genes and pathways.

Gene expression profiles of the adult mesangial cell (GUDMAP Series_id: 37)

Project description:The long term objective is to create an encyclopedia of the expression levels of all genes in multiple components of the developing kidney. The central thesis is straightforward. The combination of fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) plus microarray analysis offers a powerful, efficient and effective method for the creation of a global gene expression atlas of the developing kidney. Microarrays with essentially complete genome coverage can be used to quantitate expression levels of every gene in FACS isolated components of the developing kidney. The ensuing rapid read-out provides an expression atlas that is more sensitive, more economical and more complete than would be possible by in situ hybridizations alone. Meis1-GFP BAC transgenic mice were utilized to isolate the mesangial cells from adult kidneys. The mesangial cells were isolated from the glomerulus using collagenase digestion, differential sieving, trypsin treatment and FACS. The RNA was isolated from purified mesangial cells and the gene expression profiles were determined by microarrays.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the mesangial identity and species diversity of glomerular cell transcriptomes

Project description:Molecular characterization of the individual cell types in human kidney as well as model organisms are critical in defining organ function and understanding translational aspects of biomedical research. Previous studies have uncovered gene expression profiles of several kidney glomerular cell types, however, important cells, including mesangial (MCs) and glomerular parietal epithelial cells (PECs), were missing or incompletely described, and a systematic comparison between mouse and human kidney is lacking. To this end, we used Smart-seq2 to profile 4332 individual glomerulus-associated cells isolated from human living donor renal biopsies and mouse kidney. The analysis revealed genetic programs for all four glomerular cell types (podocytes, glomerular endothelial cells, MCs and PECs) as well as rare glomerulus-associated macula densa cells (MDCs). Importantly, we detected heterogeneity in glomerulus-associated Pdgfrb-expressing cells, including bona fide intraglomerular MCs with the functionally active phagocytic molecular machinery, as well as a unique mural cell type located in the central stalk region of the glomerulus tuft. Furthermore, we observed remarkable species differences in the individual gene expression profiles of defined glomerular cell types that highlight translational challenges in the field and provide a guide to design translational studies.

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

Project description: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.
