Project description:Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome is a condition that has four symptoms: urgency, urinary frequency, nocturia, and urge incontinence and negatively affects a patient’s life. Recently, it is considered that the urinary bladder urothelium is closely linked to pathogenesis of OAB. However, the mechanisms of pathogenesis of OAB at the molecular level remain poorly understood, mainly as a result of lack of modern molecular analysis. The goal of this study is to identify a potential target protein that could act as a predictive factor for effective diagnosis and aid in the development of therapeutic strategies for the treatment of OAB syndrome. We produced OAB in a rat model and performed the first proteomic analysis on the mucosal layer (urothelium) of the bladders of normal and OAB rats.

Project description:Objectives: Much of the information to date in terms of subtypes and function of bladder urothelial cells were derived from anatomical location or by the expression of a small number of marker genes. To have a comprehensive map of the cellular anatomy of bladder urothelial cells, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing to thoroughly characterize mouse bladder urothelium. Materials and methods: A total of 18,917 single cells from mouse bladder urothelium was analyzed by unbiased single-cell RNA sequencing. The expression of the novel cell marker was confirmed by immunofluorescence using urinary tract infections models. Results: Unsupervised clustering analysis identified 8 transcriptionally distinct cell subpopulations from mouse bladder urothelial cells. We discovered a novel type of bladder urothelial cells marked by Plxna4 that may be involved with host response and wound healing. We also found a group of basal-like cells labeled by ASPM that could be the progenitor cells of adult bladder urothelium. ASPM+ urothelial cells are significantly increased after injury by UPEC. In addition, specific transcription factors were found to be associated with urothelial cell differentiation. At the last, a number of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome-regulating genes were found differentially expressed among different urothelial cell subpopulations. Conclusions: Our study provides a comprehensive characterization of bladder urothelial cells, which is fundamental to understanding the biology of bladder urothelium and associated bladder disease.

Project description:Urothelium forms a distensible yet impermeable barrier, senses and transduces stimuli, and defends the urinary tract from mechanical, chemical and bacterial injuries. Biochemical and genetic labeling studies support the existence of one or more progenitor populations with the capacity to rapidly regenerate the urothelium following injury, but slow turnover, a low mitotic index, and inconsistent methodologies obscure progenitor identity. The progenitor properties of basal Keratin 5 urothelial cells (K5-UC) have been previously investigated, but those studies focused on embryonic or adult bladder urothelium. Urothelium undergoes desquamation and apoptosis after birth, which requires postnatal proliferation and restoration. Therefore, we mapped the fate of bladder K5-UCs across postnatal development/maturation and following administration of cyclophosphamide to measure homeostatic and reparative progenitor capacities, respectively. In vivo studies demonstrate that basal K5-UCs are age-restricted progenitors in neonates and juveniles, but not in adult mice. Neonatal K5-UCs retain a superior progenitor capacity in vitro, forming larger and more differentiated urothelial organoids than adult K5-UCs. Accordingly, K5-UC transcriptomes are temporally distinct, with enrichment of transcripts associated with cell proliferation and differentiation in neonates. Induction of urothelial proliferation is sufficient to restore adult K5-UC progenitor capacity. Our findings advance the understanding of urothelial progenitors and support a linear model of urothelial formation and regeneration, which may have significant impact on therapeutic development or tissue engineering strategies.

Project description:The long term objective is to create an encyclopedia of the expression levels of all genes in multiple components of the developing bladder. The central thesis is straightforward. The combination of microdissected and laser capture microdissection (LCM) plus microarray analysis offers a powerful, efficient and effective method for the creation of a global gene expression atlas of the developing urogenital system. Microarrays with essentially complete genome coverage can be used to quantitate expression levels of every gene. 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. The data submitted here represents the gene expression profiles of compartmental bladder tissues collected through laser capture microscopy. Experiment Overall Design: Bladders were isolated from newborn SMGA/EGFP transgenic mice, embedded in OCT, frozen and sectioned (8 microns). Detrusor, stroma and urothelium were isloated using laser capture microscopy. The caps were frozen on dry ice and stored at -80 degrees C until RNA was extracted for gene expression analysis. Laser captured and total RNA isolated for gene expression analysis using the Affymetrix MOE430 microarray chip.

Project description:Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-gamma (PPARG) is a nuclear hormone receptor that was originally described as a master regulator of adipogenesis but could also promote cellular differentiation in a number of epithelium. PPARG also serves as an important regulator in anti-inflammatory activity after a variety of injuries, acting in part by antagonizing the NF-kB pathway. Moreover, the expression of PPARG is strongly down regulated in the basal subtype of bladder cancer, suggesting that its removal might be essential in tumorigenesis. In urothelial cells, it has been shown that PPARG promotes urothelial differentiation in vitro, but its function in vivo remains unexplored. The urothelium is a stratified epithelium that serves as a barrier between the urinary tract and blood. It consists of terminally differentiated umbrella cells, intermediate cells which serve as umbrella cell progenitors; and unipotent basal cells. To determine the role of PPARG in vivo, we used Cre-Lox recombination to conditionally delete the Pparg gene in the mouse urothelium using the ShhCre driver, which drives recombination in basal and intermediate cells, and their respective daughters. Interestingly, ShhCre;Ppargfl/fl mutants lack umbrella and intermediate cells, but have an abnormal cell population negative for classical urothelial markers instead. Furthermore, we observed an increase of KRT14+ population in the basal compartment and squamous features in the mutant urothelium. Expression profile analysis suggested PPARG regulates metabolism, urothelial differentiation and innate immune response. We further challenged the Pparg mutant urothelium with acute injury. In wild type animals, urinary tract infection (UTI) with uropathogenic E.coli results in a transient innate immune response, followed by a completed regernation within 2 weeks. When ShhCre;Ppargfl/fl mutants were challenged with urinary tract infection, the innate immune response was not resolved even after several weeks and the Pparg ablated urothelium exhibited squamous metaplasia. RNAseq data suggested that PPARG plays a role in regulating squmous differentiation and NFkB signial pathway. Together these findings suggest that PPARG is essential for the normal differentiation of the urothelium and is a potent regulator of the inflammatory response after UTI. Understanding the link between the loss of PPARG, chronic inflammation and tumorigenesis in the urothelium could shed light on the urothelial differentiation network and pave the way for the development of therapeutic approaches to various urinary diseases.
