Project description:TonEBP is a transcription factor that promotes cellular accumulation of organic osmolytes in the hypertonic renal medulla by stimulating expression of its target genes. Genetically modified animals with deficient TonEBP activity in the kidney suffer from severe medullary atrophy in association with cell death, demonstrating that TonEBP is essential for the survival of the renal medullary cells. Using both TonEBP knockout cells and RNA interference of TonEBP, we found that TonEBP promoted cellular adaptation to hypertonic stress. Microarray analyses revealed that genetic response to hypertonicity was dominated by TonEBP in that expression of totally different sets of genes was increased by hypertonicity in those cells with TonEBP vs. those without TonEBP activity. Out of over 100 potentially new TonEBP regulated genes, we selected 7 for further analyses and found that their expression was all dependent on TonEBP. RNA interference experiments showed that some of these genes – asporin, insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 5 and 7, and an extracellular lysophosphlipase D – plus Hsp70, a known TonEBP target gene, contributed to the adaptation to hypertonicity without promoting organic osmolyte accumulation. We conclude that TonEBP stimulates multiple cellular pathways for adaptation to hypertonic stress in addition to organic osmolyte accumulation. Quadruplicate samples were collected for each condition and then pooled into a single sample for hybridization to microarrays.

Project description:Adaptation of C. elegans to hypertonic environments involves the accumulation of the organic osmolyte glycerol via transcriptional upregulation of the glycerol biosynthestic enzyme gpdh-1. A number of mutants, termed osmotic stress resistant (osr) mutants, have been identified. osr mutants cause constitutive upregulation of gpdh-1 and confer extreme resistance to hypertonicity. We tested the hypothesis that osr mutants broadly activate a gene expression program normally activated by osmotic stress in wild type animals using Affymterix microarray analysis of the hypertonic stress response in wild type animals and of constituitive gene expression changes in five osr mutants. Experiment Overall Design: Young adult C. elegans were exposed to hypertonic growth plates for varying times prior to RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Since we wished to separate direct response from secondary responses to osmotic stress, we collected worms following short term exposures to hypertonic conditions (15 minutes and 1 hour) and after long term exposure to hypertonic conditions (6 hours or a full generation of growth under hypertonic conditions). We also collected young adults from the osr mutants osm-7, osm-8, osm-11, dpy-9, and dpy-10 for microarray analysis. These mutants were grown under isotonic conditions to determine whether that constitutively activate genes normally regulated by hypertonic stress in wild type animals.

Project description:Regulation of cell volume is essential for tissue homeostasis and cell viability. In response to hypertonic stress, cells need rapid electrolyte influx to compensate water loss and to prevent cell death in a process known as regulatory volume increase (RVI). However, the molecular component able to trigger such process was unknown to date. Using a genome wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen, we identified LRRC8A, which encodes a chloride channel subunit, as the gene most associated with cell survival under hypertonic conditions. Hypertonicity activates the p38 stress-activated protein kinase pathway and its downstream MSK1 kinase, which phosphorylates and activates LRRC8A. LRRC8A-mediated Cl efflux facilitates activation of the with-no-lysine (WNK) kinase pathway, which in turn, promotes electrolyte influx via Na+ /K+ /2Cl cotransporter (NKCC) and RVI under hypertonic stress. LRRC8A-S217A mutation impairs channel activation by MSK1, resulting in reduced RVI and cell survival. In summary, LRRC8A is key to bidirectional osmotic stress responses and cell survival under hypertonic conditions.

Project description:Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β) is an essential transcription factor that regulates tissue-specific gene expression in the kidney, liver, pancreas and genitourinary tract. In humans, mutations of HNF-1β cause renal cysts and diabetes (RCAD) and congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). Inactivation of Hnf-1β in tubular epithelial cells throughout the nephron leads to early-onset cyst formation and postnatal lethality. Here, we used Pkhd1/Cre mice to delete Hnf-1β specifically in renal collecting ducts (CD). Hnf-1β mutant mice survived long-term and developed slowly progressive cystic kidney disease, renal fibrosis, and hydronephrosis. Compared with wild-type littermates, Hnf-1β mutant mice had higher urine volume, lower urine osmolality, and higher water intake. Differences were seen at baseline, following 24h water restriction, and following administration of dDAVP. Circulating ADH levels were similar in wild type and mutant mice. Polyuria, polydipsia, and decreased urine osmolality were present prior to the onset of cyst formation and hydronephrosis. These findings indicated that Hnf-1β mutant mice have a primary defect in urinary concentrating ability. Studies using in vitro hypertonicity response experiments identified NR1H4 (FXR), a transcription factor previously shown to regulate water homeostasis, as a novel HNF-1β target. mIMCD3 cells exposed to hypertonic medium robustly upregulated Fxr mRNA levels; this upregulation was lost in Hnf-1β mutant cells. HNF-1β was bound to the Fxr promoter region in vivo, and Fxr mRNA was significantly downregulated in mutant mice. FXR protein localized to CD in wild-type mice and was almost undetectable in the cyst epithelium of mutant mice. These findings highlight a new and critical role for HNF-1β in urinary concentration and hypertonicity by regulating the transcription of FXR in the CD.

Project description:Osteolytic lesions with suppression of osteoblastic (OB) differentiation are hallmarks of multiple myeloma (MM). Most recently, Gln availability has been found to be essential to sustain bone mass formation in murine models. On the other hand, MM cells are Gln-addicted and consume huge amounts of the amino acid, leading to a partial Gln depletion in the bone marrow (BM) plasma. We hypothesize that MM-dependent Gln depletion contributes to the defective OB differentiation characteristic of MM. Conversely, GLS (both KGA and GAC isoforms) and SLC38A2, the gene for the concentrative Gln transporter SNAT2, were induced. Consistent with this conclusion, the activity of SNAT2 was absent in undifferentiated hMSCs but well detectable after 14 days of OB differentiation, when total Gln uptake was also increased. Under the same conditions, OB differentiation markers (RUNX2, COL1A1, ALPL expression and ALPL activity or staining) were significantly induced but their expression was blunted by incubation in low-Gln (0.4 mM) medium or in the presence of the SNAT2 inhibitor MeAIB. The incubation in Gln-free D-MEM suppressed the induction of GLS and SLC38A2 along with OB differentiation, which was restored by the supplementation of Non-Essential Amino Acids (NEAA). Among NEAA, only asparagine (Asn) was able to rescue OB differentiation in the absence of Gln. The determination of intracellular amino acids with MS indicated that OB differentiation was associated with the increase of cell Asn, without significant changes of Gln, glutamate (Glu) or aspartate (Asp). Asparagine Synthetase (ASNS), the Gln-dependent enzyme that accounts for Asn synthesis, was also found induced during OB differentiation of hMSCs. Gene Expression Profiles of primary BM hMSCs and OBs from bone biopsies of both healthy donors and MM patients indicated that GLS, ASNS, and SLC38A2 are more expressed in OBs, while the expression of GLUL, the gene for GS, is higher in undifferentiated hMSCs from healthy donors. Overall, these results indicate that (1) OB differentiation of hMSCs is Gln-dependent; (2) the partial Gln depletion, imposed by Gln-addicted MM cells in the BM microenvironment, contributes to the impairment of osteoblastic differentiation of hMSCs; (3) hindrance of differentiation may depend on the limited availability of intracellular Asn derived from Gln-dependent ASNS. These results support the evidence that Gln addiction of MM cells affects bone microenvironment leading to the inhibition of OB differentiation and, consequently, to the development of MM bone disease.
