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

ABSTRACT: 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.

RNAseq of kidneys from a mice model of chronic leptospirosis infection and induced a secondary nephrotoxic injury by adenine feeding

Project description:Background The mysterious chronic kidney disease is multifactorial causes. One of the risk factors is leptospirosis, a re-emerging infectious disease caused by Leptospira spp., for endemic leptospirosis tend to coincide with high-incidence regions of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology. This study aims to investigate the role of leptospirosis as an emerging culprit in which chronic subclinical kidney injury, may predispose to progressive kidney disease when superimposed on secondary nephrotoxic injury. Methods Adenine-induced renal injury in chronic leptospira-infected C57/BL6 mice were studied for evaluating the renal function, histology and gene expression changes. We employed RNA sequencing-based renal transcriptome to investigate pathogenic pathways associated with secondary nephrotoxic injury in chronic kidney injury due to leptospirosis. Results The severity of kidney lesions was increased and the expression of immune/inflammation/fibrosis genes were significantly up-regulated in either low-dose (0.1%) and high-dose (0.2%) adenine-induced renal injury superimposed on infected mice. Whole renal transcriptome analysis reveals that the substantial amplification of the tremendous amount of expressed genes and fibrosis-related pathways was found in adenine-induced kidney injury add-on to leptospira-infected mice which correlated with kidney dysfunction and fibrosis compared to infection or adenine itself. A total of 41 differentially expressed genes associated with fibrosis were identified in infected mice fed with adenine, suggesting that these potential genes contributed to aggravated renal progression occurred in adenine-fed chronic leptospira-infected mice. Conclusions In summary, this study indicates that chronic subclinical kidney infection when exposed to different degree of secondary nephrotoxic injury may predispose to exacerbated and progressive chronic kidney disease.

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.

Ischemic vs. nephrotoxic acute renal failure, early time points (2h and 8h)

Project description:Acute renal failure (ARF) has high morbidity and mortality. In animal ARF models, effective treatments must be administered before or shortly after the insult, limiting their clinical potential. We used microarrays to identify early biomarkers that distinguish ischemic from nephrotoxic ARF, or that detect both injury types. We compared rat kidney transcriptomes 2 and 8 hours after ischemia/reperfusion and after mercuric chloride. Quality control and statistical analyses were necessary to normalize inter-experimental groups, eliminate outliers, and exclude unaltered genes. Principal component analysis revealed distinct ischemic and nephrotoxic trajectories, and clear array groupings. Therefore, we used supervised analysis, t-tests and fold changes, to compile gene lists for each group, exclusive or non-exclusive, alone or in combination.

Opposing roles of dendritic cells subsets in experimental GN

Project description:Classical dendritic cells (DCs) are key players at the interface between innate and adaptive immunity. In the kidney exist 2 major subsets of cDCs: CD11b+ cDCs and CD103+ cDCs. We investigated their function in the most widely used model of experimental glomerulonephritis (GN) in mice: nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN). Consistent with a role for cDCs in nephrotoxic nephritis, depletion of ZBTB46+ cells (all cDCs) attenuated kidney injury, while deficiency of the CD103+ subset of cDCs accelerated injury via a mechanism that involved increased neutrophils. This RNAseq was performed to analyze transcriptional changes in FACS-sorted renal CD11b+ and CD103+ cDCs under healthy conditions and at day 7 of NTN to reveal why both subsets have different functions in GN.

SARS-CoV-2 infects the human kidney and drives fibrosis in kidney organoids

Project description:Single-cell RNA-seq of iPSC derived human kidney organoids. Single-nuclei RNA-seq data of COVID-19 patient autopsy kidney tissue. The current data was used to suggest that SARS-CoV-2 can directly infect kidney cells and induce cell injury as well as a pro-fibrotic environment which could explain acute kidney injury in COVID-19 patients and also long-term effects potentially leading to the development of chronic kidney disease.

Single cell resolution regulatory landscape of the mouse kidney highlights cellular differentiation programs and renal disease targets

Project description:Determining the epigenetic program that generates unique cell types in the kidney is critical for understanding cell-type heterogeneity during tissue homeostasis and injury response. Here, we profiled open chromatin and gene expression in developing and adult mouse kidneys at single cell resolution. We show critical reliance of gene expression on distal regulatory elements (enhancers). We define key cell type-specific transcription factors and major gene-regulatory circuits for kidney cells. Dynamic chromatin and expression changes during nephron progenitor differentiation demonstrated that podocyte commitment occurs early and is associated with sustained Foxl1 expression. Renal tubule cells followed a more complex differentiation, where Hfn4a was associated with proximal and Tfap2b with distal fate. Mapping single nucleotide variants associated with human kidney disease identified critical cell types, developmental stages, genes, and regulatory mechanisms. We provide a global single cell resolution view of chromatin accessibility of kidney development. The dataset is available via interactive public websites.
