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

ABSTRACT: 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.

RNA-seq of mixed mouse glomerular mesangial and endothelial cells

Project description:There are 3 cell types in a glomerulus: podocytes, mesangial cells and endothelial cells. These cell types play distinct roles in the structure and functions of glomeruli. In order to profile the gene expression of single glomerular cells, we isolated mouse glomeruli by Dynabead/magnetic concentration method and digested them with enzymes to dissociate them into single cells. We loaded the single cell suspension to a Fluidigm C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep System for single cell cDNA preparation. We performed qPCR analyses of marker genes of podocytes (Npsh2, Synaptopodin, WT1), mesangial cells (Gata3, IGFbp5) and endothelial cells (CD31, Tie2) to determine the identity of each cDNA sample. To identify podocyte-specific genes, we mixed 15 mesangial cell cDNA samples and 15 endothelial cell cDNA samples and further divided into 3 aliquots as replicates for sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000 system. The resulting data are used to compare with that of podocytes in order to identify podocyte-specific genes.

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.

Transcription profiling of mouse primary mesangial cells stimulated with DNA and RNA ligands

Project description:Extrarenal viral infections commonly trigger glomerulonephritis mostly in association with immune complex disease. The immunoglobulin component of immune complexes can activate glomerular cell Fc receptors but whether complexed viral nucleic acids contribute to glomerular inflammation remains unknown. Glomerular mesangial cells express TLR3 but lack TLR7-9, hence, it is unclear whether mesangial cells can recognize and respond to viral ssRNA or DNA. Here we studied the immune responses activated by 3P-RNA (5'Triphosphate RNA) and Non-CpG DNA (Double stranded DNA) in primary mesangial cells (PMC). We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression that induced by 3P-RNA and Non-CpG DNA. Experiment Overall Design: PMC were stimulated with 3P-RNA and Non-CpG DNA for 6 hours and then total RNA was isolated for hybridization to MOE430_2 arrays.

Tripartite separation of glomerular proteomes from reporter-free mice

Project description:Renal blood filtration occurs in a functional unit called the glomerulus. The resident cell types comprise the filtration barrier, namely podocytes, mesangial cells and glomerular endothelial cells. Here we introduce a glomerular cell isolation protocol, which enables the separation of these three cell types in sufficient amounts and purity to allow detailed protein-biochemical investigations. We demonstrate that the expression of fluorescent transgenes in glomerular cells can result in proteome artifacts. We show that different mouse strains have different glomerular cell type proteomes. Further, we demonstrate the power of the technique to identify new glomerular cell type-enriched proteins and demonstrate the potential of this globally applicable technique in the dissection of cell-specific disease responses and intra-glomerular cell-type crosstalk.

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.

A single-cell transcriptome atlas of mouse glomerulus

Project description:Three different cell types constitute the glomerular filter: mesangial cells, endothelial cells, and podocytes. As yet, it remains unknown to what extent cellular heterogeneity exists within healthy glomerular cell populations. Here, we used nanodroplet-based, highly parallel transcriptional profiling to characterize the cellular content of purified wildtype mouse glomeruli. Unsupervised clustering of 13,000 single-cell transcriptomes identified the three known glomerular cell types. We provide a comprehensive online atlas of gene expression in glomerular cells, which can be queried and visualized using an interactive and freely available database. Novel marker genes for all glomerular cell types were identified and supported by immunohistochemistry stainings obtained from the Human Protein Atlas. Subclustering of glomerular endothelial cells revealed a subset of activated endothelium, expressing marker genes related to endothelial proliferation. Additionally, the podocyte population could be divided in three different subclusters. In conclusion, our study comprehensively characterizes gene expression in individual glomerular cells and sets the stage for the dissection of glomerular function at the single-cell level in health and disease.

Podocyte-specific JAK2 Overexpression Worsens Diabetic Kidney Disease in Mice

Project description:Overexpression of glomerular JAK2 mRNA specifically in glomerular podocytes of 129S6 mice led to significant increases in albuminuria, mesangial expansion, glomerulosclerosis, glomerular fibronectin accumulation, and glomerular basement membrane thickening as well as a significant reduction in podocyte density in diabetic mice. Treatment with a specific JAK1/2 inhibitor partly reversed the major phenotypic changes of DKD
