The effect of serum from children with nephrotic syndrome on transcriptome of human immortalized podocytes cultured in vitro

ABSTRACT: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is an unfavorable disease with heterogeneous causes and variable prognosis. One of the clinically crucial prognostic feature is the response to initial glucocorticoid treatment. Whereas in some children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) the treatment may induce long-term remission of the disease, steroid-resistant cases (SRNS) are at risk of renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy. The aim of this project was to explore whether sera from children with the two main clinically defined types of NS induce changes in transcriptome of in-vitro cultures of immortalized human podocytes. After 3 days of culture, total RNA was isolated and then library from polyadenylated RNA was prepared and RNA sequencing was performed. Log2 (fold-changes) were calculated to describe differential gene expression. Within the Reactome online tool, Camera methodology was implemented to identify functionally linked gene groups (pathways) that could distinguish the two patient groups. Significant transcriptome differences were found between samples from children with SSNS and SRNS. This may help to reveal the molecular mechanisms of the disease and open up for an effective individualized treatment.

Transcriptome profile of leukocyte RNA from children with steroid sensitive and resistant nephrotic syndrome

Project description:Glucocorticoid resistance complicates the treatment of ~20% of children with nephrotic syndrome, yet the molecular basis for resistance remains unclear. We generated the transcriptome profile by RNA sequencing of peripheral blood leukocytes from children obtained both at initial nephrotic syndrome presentation and after ~7 weeks of glucocorticoid therapy to identify genes or a gene panel able to differentiate steroid sensitive from steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome. RNA -seq analysis was followed by in-silico algorithm-based approaches and subsequent biochemical analyses on relevant candidate gene with important roles in podocyte and glomerular pathophysiology, using both patient samples and experimental models of nephrotic syndrome and podocyte injury.

Glucocorticoid therapy regulates podocyte motility by inhibition of Rac1

Project description:Nephrotic syndrome (NS) occurs when the glomerular filtration barrier becomes excessively permeable leading to massive proteinuria. In childhood NS, dysregulation of the immune system has been implicated and increasing evidence points to the central role of podocytes in the pathogenesis. Children with NS are typically treated with an empiric course of glucocorticoid (Gc) therapy; a class of steroids that are activating ligands for the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transcription factor. Although Gc-therapy has been the cornerstone of NS management for decades, the mechanism of action, and target cell, remain poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that Gc acts directly on the podocyte to produce clinically useful effects without involvement of the immune system. In human podocytes, we demonstrated that the basic GR-signalling mechanism is intact and that Gc induced an increase in podocyte barrier function. To gain mechanistic insight we performed RNA microarray and ChIP-sequencing and identified Gc regulation of motility genes.

Urine single cell RNA-sequencing in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis reveals inflammatory signatures in immune cells and podocytes

Project description:The diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) requires a renal biopsy which is invasive and can be problematic in children and in some adults. We used single cell RNA-sequencing to explore disease-related cellular signatures in 17 urine samples from 12 FSGS subjects. We identified immune cells in urine predominantly monocytes and renal epithelial cells including podocytes. Analysis revealed M1 and M2 monocyte subsets and podocytes showing increased expression of genes involved in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We confirmed M1 and M2 gene signatures using published monocyte/macrophage data from lupus nephritis and cancer. Using renal transcriptomic data from the Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE) we found that urine immune and EMT signature genes also showed higher expression in FSGS biopsies compared to minimal change disease biopsies. These results suggest that urine cell profiling may serve as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in nephrotic syndrome and may assist in identifying novel biomarkers and developing personalized therapeutic strategies.

Gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from children with active idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) and healthy controls (HC) [HC_vs_INS]

Project description:An autoimmune B cell origin for childhood idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is predicted based on the efficacy of rituximab (RTX) at maintaining long-term remission from proteinuria. Knowledge regarding the nature of the culprit B cell response is very limited. In particular, no transcriptomics work has been performed to evaluate the B cell response in INS. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from four affected children with active INS and four age/sex-matched health controls (HC), we demonstrate that a B cell transcriptional program poised for effector functions represents the major immune perturbation in the blood of children with active INS. We show that this nephrotic B cell signature is conferred by the engagement of memory B cells through an extrafollicular developmental route defined by expression of the interfollicular-homing gene GPR183 and the expansion of atypical B cells and marginal zone-like B cells. Moreover, we show that genes involved in APRIL signaling, which promotes extrafollicular antibody-secreting cell development, were substantially upregulated in B cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells from INS children. Collectively, our study provides evidence for an extrafollicular origin for humoral immunity in active INS.
