Dual inhibition of the endothelin and angiotensin receptor ameliorates renal and inner ear pathologies in Alport mice

ABSTRACT: Alport syndrome, a type IV collagen disorder, leads to glomerular disease and, in some patients, hearing loss. AS is treated with inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system; however, a need exists for novel therapies, especially those addressing both major pathologies. Sparsentan is a single-molecule dual endothelin type-A and angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist (DEARA) under clinical development for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and IgA nephropathy. We report the ability of sparsentan to ameliorate both renal and inner ear pathologies in an autosomal-recessive Alport mouse model. Sparsentan significantly delayed onset of glomerulosclerosis, interstitial fibrosis, proteinuria, and glomerular filtration rate decline. Sparsentan attenuated glomerular basement membrane defects, blunted mesangial filopodial invasion into the glomerular capillaries, increased lifespan more than losartan, and lessened changes in profibrotic/proinflammatory genes pathways in both the glomerular and renal cortical compartments. Notably, treatment with sparsentan, but not losartan, prevented accumulation of extracellular matrix in the strial capillary basement membranes in the inner ear and reduced susceptibility to hearing loss. Improvements in lifespan and in renal and strial pathology were observed even when sparsentan was initiated after development of renal pathologies. These findings suggest that sparsentan may address both renal and hearing pathologies in Alport syndrome patients.

Expression data from kidney tissues treated with vehicle, losartan and metformin

Project description:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the major global health problems with high incidence, poor prognosis and high medical cost. However, few pharmacological options are available for CKD. Metformin is widely used for treatment of type-2 diabetes, but recent works showed that metformin ameliorates tumor progression, inflammatory disease and tissue fibrosis. Whether metformin ameliorates non-diabetic chronic glomerular disease and CKD is unexplored. Here we showed that metformin or losartan (used as control) has protective effects against CKD by suppressing proteinuria, renal inflammation, fibrosis and glomerular injury in Alport syndrome mouse model, which spontaneously manifests chronic glomerular and kidney disease. Transcriptome analysis showed that metformin and losartan influenced molecular pathways of metabolism and inflammation, respectively. While metformin specifically affected genes that were classified as metabolic regulators, losartan specifically altered genes that were classified as inflammatory regulators. Metformin also induced multiple signaling pathways not affected by losartan. Overall, metformin ameliorates non-diabetic chronic glomerular diseases, and could be considered a therapeutic option for CKD. We used microarrays to investigate the global gene expression underlying the protective effects of metformin on Alport syndrome mice model

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

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)

Differential Expression of Ove26(Diabetic) vs FVB(Nondiabetic) mice

Project description:Objective – Previous studies showed that genetic deletion or pharmacological blockade of the Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) prevents the early structural changes in the glomerulus associated with diabetic nephropathy (DN). To overcome limitations of mouse models that lack the progressive glomerulosclerosis observed in humans, we studied the contribution of RAGE to DN in the OVE26 type 1 mouse, a model of progressive glomerulosclerosis and decline of renal function. Research Design and Methods – We bred OVE26 mice with homozygous RAGE knock out (RKO) mice and examined structural changes associated with DN and used inulin clearance studies and albumin:creatinine measurements to assess renal function. Affymetrix Mouse 430.2 microarrays were used to measure the differential expression of OVE26vsFVB(WT) mice. Transcriptional changes in the TGF-?1 and Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 gene products were measured by pcr to investigate mechanisms underlying accumulation of mesangial matrix in OVE26 mice. Results - Deletion of RAGE in OVE26 mice reduced nephromegaly, mesangial sclerosis, cast formation, glomerular basement membrane thickening, podocyte effacement, and albuminuria. The significant 29% reduction in glomerular filtration rate observed in OVE26 mice was completely prevented by deletion of RAGE. Increased transcription of the genes for Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, TGF-?1, TGF-? induced, ?1- (IV) collagen observed in OVE26 renal cortex significantly reduced in OVE26 RKO kidney cortex. ROCK1 activity was significantly lower in OVE26 RKO compared to OVE26 kidney cortex. Conclusions - These data provide compelling evidence for critical roles for RAGE in the pathogenesis of DN and suggest that strategies targeting RAGE in long-term diabetes may prevent loss of renal function. The differential gene expression of OVE26 (diabetics) vs FVB (nodiabetic WT) mice was measured using Affymetrix Mouse 430.2 arrays.

Patient-derived podocyte spheroids reveals new insights into the etiopathogenesis of Alport Syndrome

Project description:Alport syndrome (AS) is a rare disease characterized by defective glomerular basement membranes, caused by mutations in COL4A3, COL4A4 and COL4A5, which synthesize collagen type IV. Patients present with progressive proteinuria, hematuria and podocyte loss. There is currently no cure for AS, and this is mainly due to its complex and variable pathogenesis, as well as the lack of models that can faithfully mimic the human phenotype.

Toxicity of LCDD monoclonal Ig free light chains on renal glomeruli

Project description:We analyzed the transcriptome (RNA-seq) of glomeruli in a mouse model of light chain deposition disease (LCDD) as compared to control mice (WT and DH-LMP2A, the latter producing no complete immunoglobulins, only free Ig light chains). Kidney lesions in LCDD are due to the deposition of an abnormal monoclonal free Ig light chain and comprise progressive thickening of basement membranes (tubular and glomerular) and nodular glomerulosclerosis resembling the lesions observed in diabetic nephropathy. The aim of the present study is to analyse the transcriptomic changes at early steps of glomerulosclerosis.

Human cochlear gene expression

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of human inner ear tissue Hearing loss is common and caused by a wide range of molecular and cellular pathologies. Current diagnosis of hearing loss depends of a combination of physiologic testing, patient history and in some cases genetic testing. Currently no biopsy or equivalent procedure exists to diagnose inner ear disorders. The goal of this study was to determine if miRNAs could be identified in human perilymph potentially leading to the development of biomarkers for inner ear disease. Analysis of miRNAs was carried out by evaluating miRNA targets in a cochlear transcriptome library (GSE128505) derived from human inner ear tissue harvested during surgery in which the inner ear is removed.

RNAseq analysis of glomerular transcriptome of wild-type vs. Podocyte Cosmc knockout

Project description:Cosmc is an obligate chaperone for C1GalT1 T transferase necessary for generating mature mucin-type O-glycans. Animals lacking Cosmc in glomerular podocytes develop proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis and progressive renal failure. This study was designed to examine transcriptome differences in 1 month male animals with and without podocyte Cosmc, a time point when proteinuria is established but glomerular architecture is still relatively intact.
