Lack of xanthine dehydrogenase leads to a remarkable renal decline in a novel hypouricemic rat model

ABSTRACT: The SSXdh-/- rat (SS-Xdhem1Mcwi, Rat Genome Database ID:14398479), created on the Dahl SS background, resulted in severe hypouricemia in the tissues. With the Xdh project, the overall hypothesis is that the Xdh gene ablation will result in kidney damage and perturbation of blood pressure control. We were interested in finding out if the gene ablation alternates the kidney development process. The deletion of Xdh protein produced dramatic changes in proteins related to the salvage pathway. The novel Xdh knockout rat model exhibited profound hypouricemia, which increased oxidative stress and crystal formation, leading to inflammation, renal cell proliferation, severe kidney damage, and a subsequent decline in renal function.

Dietary Effects on T Cell Methylomes and Functional Inhibition of DNA Methyltransferase Attenuates Salt-Sensitive Hypertension and Renal Damage in Dahl SS Rat

Project description:The Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rat is an established model of hypertension and renal damage that is accompanied with an activation of the immune system in the response to a high salt diet. Investigations into the effects of sodium-independent and –dependent components of the diet were shown to affect the disease phenotype with Dahl SS/JrHsdMcwi (SS/MCW) rats maintained on a purified diet (AIN-76A) presenting with a more severe phenotype relative to the grain-fed Dahl SS/JrHsdMcwiCrl rat (SS/CRL). Recently, T cells isolated from the kidneys of the two strains unveiled that transcriptomic and functional differences may contribute to the susceptibility of hypertension and renal damage. Since contributions of the immune system, environment and diet are documented to alter this phenotype, this present study examined the epigenetic profile of T cells isolated from the periphery and the kidney from these strains. In response to high salt challenge, the methylome of T cells isolated from the kidney of SS/MCW exhibit significantly more differentially methylated regions with a preference for hypermethylation compared to the SS/CRL kidney T cells. Circulating T cells exhibited similar methylation profiles between the strains. Utilizing transcriptomic data from T cells isolated from the same animals upon which the DNA methylation analysis was performed, a predominant negative correlation was observed between gene expression and DNA methylation in all groups. Lastly, inhibition of DNA methyltransferases blunted salt-induced hypertension and renal damage in the SS/MCW rats providing a functional role for methylation. The study demonstrated the influence of epigenetic modifications to immune cell function, highlighting the need for further investigations.

Transcriptomic Analysis in Renal T Lymphocytes Exposes Sodium-Independent Dietary Differences in Dahl Salt-Sensitive Rats

Project description:Background. The Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rat is an established model of salt-sensitive hypertension and renal damage. Recently, sodium-independent dietary effects were shown to be important in the development of the SS hypertensive phenotype. Compared to Dahl SS/JrHsdMcwi (SS/MCW) rats fed a purified diet (AIN-76A), grain-fed Dahl SS/JrHsdMcwiCrl rats (SS/CRL; Teklad 5L2F) were less susceptible to salt-induced hypertension and renal damage. Methods. With the known role of the immune system in hypertension, the present study characterized the immune cells infiltrating SS/MCW and SS/CRL kidneys. To further identify distinct molecular pathways between SS/MCW and SS/CRL, transcriptomic analysis was performed via RNA sequencing in T-cells isolated from the blood and kidneys of low and high salt-fed rats. Results. Following a 3-week high salt (4.0% NaCl) challenge, SS/CRL rats were protected from salt-induced hypertension (116.5±1.2 vs 141.9±14.4 mmHg) and albuminuria (21.7±3.5 vs 162.9±22.2 mg/day) compared to SS/MCW. Additionally, the absolute number of immune cells infiltrating the kidney was significantly reduced in SS/CRL. RNA-seq revealed >50% of all annotated genes in the entire transcriptome to be significantly differentially expressed in T-cells isolated from blood versus kidney. Pathway analysis of significant differentially expressed genes between SS/MCW and SS/CRL renal and circulating T-cells demonstrated salt-induced changes in genes related to inflammation in SS/MCW compared to metabolism-related pathways in SS/CRL. Conclusions. These functional and transcriptomic T-cell differences between SS/MCW and SS/CRL show that sodium-independent dietary effects may influence the immune response and infiltration of immune cells into the kidney, ultimately impacting susceptibility to salt-induced hypertension and renal damage.

The presence of Xanthine Dehydrogenase is crucial for the maturation of the rat kidneys

Project description:We hypothesized that XDH plays a role in nephrogenesis. Here we used SSXdh+/+, SSXdh+/-, and SSXdh-/- rat kidneys from the postnatal development period to test this hypothesis. In wildtype but not homozygote rat kidneys, XDH expression was significantly increased from postnatal day (PND) 5 to 15, indicating its importance in the maturation of the kidney. Even though both genotypes had similar glomerular density at birth, it was significantly lower in SSXdh-/- rats by PND21. Transcriptomic profiling of the kidneys revealed that many genes related to kidney formation were dysregulated by the lack of Xdh expression in this period. Functional and pathway analyses of the transcriptome data strongly suggested that Xdh affected these genes via epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling disruption. This study showed that Xdh is essential for the kidney maturation process.

Arhgef11 high and low salt kidney proteomic analysis

Project description:Arhgef11 is a Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor previously implicated in kidney injury in the Dahl salt-sensitive rat (SS-WT). Through exchange of GDP for GTP, Arhgef11 regulates cytoskeletal structure, function, and cell-cell contacts through a variety of stimuli (e.g., G-protein coupled receptors, growth factors, and shear stress). We studied the SS-Arhgef11-/- rat model at 4-12 weeks of age under low and high salt (0.3% or 2% NaCl). To better understand the molecular mechanisms associated with renal protection from loss of Arhgef11, MS/MS proteomics was performed on kidney from SS-Arhgef11-/- and SS-WT at week 12 (low-salt). At week 12, 1017 genes and 363 proteins were observed. In summary, in vivo phenotyping provides strong evidence that increased Arhgef11 expression in the Dahl S rat leads to actin cytoskeleton mediated changes in cell morphology and cell function (impaired reuptake filtered protein) that promote kidney injury, hypertension, and decline in kidney function.

Expression data from mouse kidney tissue

Project description:The role of the renin-angiotensin system in chronic kidney disease involves multiple peptides and receptors. Exerting antipodal pathophysiological mechanisms, renin inhibition and AT1 antagonism ameliorate renal damage. This is a comparison between the renin inhibitor aliskiren with the At1 antagonist losartan in mice with chronic kidney disease due to renal ablation. Renal tissue from ablated mice was used after 6-week treatment with either 500 mg/l losartan or 50 mg/kg aliskiren per day (n = 5)

Renal medullary genes in salt-sensitive hypertension

Project description:Substitution of chromosome 13 from Brown Norway BN/SsNHsd/Mcw (BN/Mcw) rats into the Dahl salt-sensitive SS/JrHsd/Mcw (SS/Mcw) rats resulted in substantial reduction of blood pressure salt sensitivity in this consomic rat strain designated SSBN13. In the present study, we attempted to identify genes associated with salt-sensitive hypertension by utilizing a custom, known-gene cDNA microarray to compare the mRNA expression profiles in the renal medulla (a tissue playing a pivotal role in long-term blood pressure regulation) of SS/Mcw and SSBN13 rats on either low-salt (0.4% NaCl) or high-salt (4% NaCl, 2 wk) diets.

Purine and TCA measurements in salt sensitive (SS) hypertension

Project description:SS rats were surgically implanted with a chronic servo-control cuff, the purpose of which is to maintain normal pressure to the left kidney while the right kidney is exposed to high blood pressure. After 7 days of high salt treatment, which induces high blood pressure in the SS rat, rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital, kidneys were flushed and removed. The renal medulla was separated from the cortex using scissors, and the renal medullas were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C.

Bioinformatics-driven discovery of silica nanoparticles induces apoptosis and renal damage via the unfolded protein response in NRK-52E cells and rat kidney

Project description:Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs), a type of nanomaterial, have widespread applications in drug delivery and disease diagnosis. Despite their utility, SiNPs can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD), which hinders their clinical translation. The molecular mechanisms responsible for SiNPs-induced renal toxicity are intricate and still need elucidation. To address this challenge, our study employed bioinformatics tools to predict potential mechanisms underlying renal damage caused by SiNPs. We identified 1627 up-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 1334 down-regulated DEGs. Functional enrichment analysis and the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network revealed that SiNPs-induced renal damage is associated with apoptosis. Subsequently, we verified that SiNPs induce apoptosis in an in vitro model of NRK-52E cells via the unfolded protein response (UPR) in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, in an in vivo rat model, high-dose SiNPs administration via tracheal drip caused hyalinization in renal tubules, renal interstitial lymphocytic infiltration, and collagen fiber accumulation. Concurrently, we observed an increase in UPR-related proteins with the onset of renal damage. Thus, our study confirms that SiNPs induce apoptosis and renal damage through the unfolded protein response, adding to the theoretical understanding of SiNPs-related kidney damage and offering a potential target for preventing and treating kidney injuries in SiNPs clinical applications.
