The injury-induced transcription factor SOX9 alters the expression of LBR, HMGA2, and HIPK3 in human kidney

ABSTRACT: Induction of SRY box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) has been shown to occur in response to kidney injury in rodents, where SOX9-positive cells proliferate and regenerate the proximal tubules of injured kidneys. Additionally, SOX9-positive cells demonstrate a capacity to differentiate toward other nephron segments. Here, we characterized the role of SOX9 in normal and injured human kidneys. SOX9 expression was found to colocalize with a proportion of so-called scattered tubular cells in the uninjured kidney, a cell population previously shown to be involved in kidney injury and regeneration. Following injury and in areas adjacent to inflammatory cell infiltrates, SOX9-positive cells were increased in number. With the use of primary tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) obtained from human kidney tissue, SOX9 expression was spontaneously induced in culture and further increased by TGF-β1, whereas it was suppressed by IFN-γ. siRNA-mediated knockdown of SOX9 in PTECs followed by analysis of differential gene expression, immunohistochemical expression, and luciferase promoter assays suggested lamin B receptor (LBR), high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2), and homeodomain interacting protein kinase 3 (HIPK3) as possible target genes of SOX9. Moreover, a kidney explant model was used to demonstrate that only SOX9-positive cells survive the massive injury associated with kidney ischemia and that the surviving SOX9-positive cells spread and repopulate the tubules. Using a wound healing assay, we also showed that SOX9 positively regulated the migratory capacity of PTECs. These findings shed light on the functional and regulatory aspects of SOX9 activation in the human kidney during injury and regeneration.

Immunohistochemical Investigation for Renal Tubules in Adaptive and Maladaptive Repair Process after Renal Tubular Injury in the Kidney of Rats

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) have been thought to be reversible condition, however, emerging evidence demonstrated association between AKI and subsequent development of irreversible fibrosis and chronic kidney disease. In the present study, since recovery of AKI depends on renal tubular regeneration, factors expressing in renal tubules in adaptive or maladaptive repair process were investigated to predict reversibility of kidney injury. In the kidney of female F344 rats subjected to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), regenerative tubules and dilated tubules were observed at 3 and 7 days after I/R. In fibrotic areas of the kidney of male SD rats subjected to I/R, renal tubules were dilated or atrophied. From microarray data of regenerative tubules, survivin, sex-determining region Y (SRY)-box 9 (SOX9), and CD44 were extracted as factors possibly relating to tubular regeneration or fibrosis. Immunohistochmical analysis demonstrated that survivin and SOX9 expressed in regenerative tubules, while SOX9 also expressed in renal tubules in fibrotic area, indicating that survivin and SOX9 contribute renal tubular regeneration, but sustained SOX9 expression may lead fibrosis. CD44 expressed in dilated tubules at day 3 and 7, and tubules in fibrotic area, suggesting that CD44 expressed in maladaptive tubules. These information will be helpful to consider reversibility of kidney injury.

Sox9 switch links regeneration to fibrosis at the single-cell level in mammalian kidneys [snATAC-Seq]

Project description:The steps governing healing with or without fibrosis within the same microenvironment are unclear. After acute kidney injury (AKI), the injured proximal tubular epithelial cells activate Sox9 for self-restoration. Using head-to-head comparison of injury- induced Sox9-lineages via spatiotemporal mapping, single-cell sequencing, and single-nuclei chromatin accessibility profiling, we identified a dynamic SOX9 switch. Lineages that regenerated epithelia silenced SOX9 and healed without fibrosis (SOX9on-off). In contrast, lineages that maintained Sox9 activity in attempt to regenerate, demarcated by SOX9-induced Cadherin 6 (SOX9on-on CDH6pos ) cell state, generated single-cell Wnt activity to provoke a fibroproliferative response in adjacent fibroblasts, driving AKI to chronic kidney disease. Transplanted human kidneys displayed similar SOX9/CDH6/WNT2B responses post-injury. Thus, we uncovered a mechanism linking fibrosis to sustained efforts to regenerate the injured tissue.

Acyloxyacyl hydrolase protects against kidney injury via inhibition of tubular CD74-macrophage crosstalk

Project description:Renal fibrosis is the common pathway in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Acyloxyacyl hydrolase (AOAH) is expressed in various phagocytes and highly expressed in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs). Research shows that AOAH plays a critical role in infections and chronic inflammatory diseases, although its role in kidney injury is unknown. Here, AOAH expression was examined in human and mouse kidneys, and Aoah-/- mice and single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) were performed to determine its role in kidney injury induced by folic acid (FA). We found that AOAH expression was positively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) while negatively correlated with the degree of renal fibrosis in kidneys of CKD patients. AOAH deletion led to exacerbated kidney injury and fibrosis after FA administration, which was reversed by overexpression of Aoah in kidneys. scRNA-seq revealed that Aoah-/- mice exhibited increased subpopulation of CD74+ PTECs, even though total PTECs were decreased compared to WT mice after FA treatment. Finally, exacerbated kidney injury and fibrosis seen in Aoah-/- mice was attenuated via administration of ISO-1, an inhibitor of macrophage inhibition factor (MIF) and CD74 binding. Thus, our work indicates that AOAH protects against kidney injury and fibrosis by inhibiting renal tubular epithelial cells CD74 signaling pathways. Targeting kidney AOAH represents a promising strategy to prevent renal fibrosis progression.

Evaluation of renal mononuclears cells in acute kidney injury after inhibiting retinoic acid signaling in proximal tubular epithelial cells

Project description:Retinoic acid (RA) signaling is activted in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) after acute kidney injury (AKI). In these studies we evaluated the functional role of this by inducing ischemia reperfusion-induced AKI (IRI-AKI) in mice after inhibiting RA signaling in PTECs genetically. Here we evaluated the effects of this on the activation of renal mononuclear cells (MNCs) by evaluating RNA expression in CD11B+ cells isolated from kidneys after IRI-AKI. Compared with control mice, there was a reducion in expression of inflammatory marker gene expression 3 days after IRI-AKI in mice with inhibition of RAR signaling in PTECs. These findings suggest a mechanism by which inhibition of RAR signaling in PTECs is protective against AKI.

High-throughput Sequencing contributes to Quantitative Analysis of Renal Ischemic-Reperfusion-Injury Transcriptomes

Project description:Purpose: The different ischemic time of Ischemia-reperfusion-injury (IRI) mouse models resulted in different outcomes, severe IRI led to chronic kidney disease, while mild IRI led to the recovery of kidneys. We isolated tubules from mice from each group. The goals of this study are to compare differentially expressed mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs among severe IRI-injured tubules, mild IRI-injuried tubules and control mouse tubules.

Activation of the YAP/KLF5 transcriptional cascade in renal tubular cells aggravates kidney injury

Project description:The Hippo/YAP pathway plays a critical role in early embryonic kidney development, but its functions in the adult kidney are less well understood. Our previous work has demonstrated that tubular YAP activation induced by double knockout of the upstream Hippo kinases Mst1 and Mst2 (Mst1/2 dKO) promotes tubular injury and renal inflammation under basal conditions. However, the importance of tubular YAP activation remains to be established in injured kidneys in which many other injurious pathways are simultaneously activated. Several secreted factors were found to be increased by YAP in tubular cells, but how the transcriptional network is altered by YAP is largely unknown. Here, we show that tubular YAP was already activated at 6 h after unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Tubular YAP deficiency greatly attenuated tubular cell over-proliferation, tubular injury and renal inflammation induced by UUO or cisplatin. RNA-Seq, ChIP and luciferase assay revealed that YAP promoted the transcription of the transcription factor KLF5 whereas no interaction between YAP and KLF5 was observed. Consistently, the elevated expression of KLF5 and its target genes in Mst1/2 dKO or UUO kidneys was blocked by ablation of Yap in tubular cells. Inhibition of KLF5 prevented tubular cell over-proliferation, tubular injury and renal inflammation in Mst1/2 dKO kidneys. Therefore, our results demonstrate that tubular YAP is a key player in kidney injury. YAP and KLF5 form a transcriptional cascade, in which tubular YAP activation induced by kidney injury promotes KLF5 transcription. Activation of this cascade induces tubular cell over-proliferation, tubular injury and renal inflammation

Renal congestion (Rattus)

Project description:We created a rat renal congestion model and investigated the effect of renal congestion on hemodynamics and molecular mechanisms. The inferior vena cava (IVC) between the renal veins was ligated by suture in male Sprague-Dawley rats to increase upstream IVC pressure and induce congestion in the left kidney only. Left kidney congestion reduced renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate, and increased renal interstitial hydrostatic pressure. Tubulointerstitial and glomerular injury and medullary thick ascending limb hypoxia were observed only in the congestive kidneys. Molecules related to extracellular matrix expansion, tubular injury, and focal adhesion were upregulated in microarray analysis. Renal decapsulation ameliorated the tubulointerstitial injury. Electron microscopy captured pericyte detachment in the congestive kidneys. Transgelin and platelet-derived growth factor receptors, as indicators of pericyte-myofibroblast transition, were upregulated in the pericytes and the adjacent interstitium. With the compression of the peritubular capillaries and tubules, hypoxia and physical stress induce pericyte detachment, which could result in extracellular matrix expansion and tubular injury in renal congestion.
