Project description:Kidney damage involves the progressive and inexorable destruction of tubular and glomerular system. However, it is known that the patients survive AKI often recover renal structure and function. Correspondingly, previous studies demonstrated tubular regeneration in mice after massive kidney injury and linked mouse Sox9+ renal progenitor cells to this process. Here we show that progenitor cells can be cloned from mouse medulla and cortex. Clones can be grown from a single cell and indefinitely passaged. Progenitor cells derived from renal medulla can readily assembly into “kidney organoids” expressing proximal/distal tubular cell markers in 3D culture.

Project description:Renal ischemia–reperfusion injury (RIRI) profoundly impairs the function of both native and transplanted kidneys. Arg1⁺ macrophages play a pivotal role in tubular regeneration and repair. The myeloid receptor triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2) mediates the clearance of cellular debris by recognizing lipid components from injured cells. This study aimed to investigate whether Trem2 not only facilitates the debris clearance activity of Arg1⁺ macrophages in renal tubules but also sustains their survival, thereby providing a potential therapeutic target for the prevention and treatment of RIRI. To this end, we established stable RAW264.7 cell lines with Trem2 knockdown using lentivirus-mediated shRNA, followed by IL-4–induced polarization. Tubular epithelial fragments were prepared from TCMK-1 cells subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) and subsequently co-cultured with macrophages. RNA sequencing was performed to compare transcriptional profiles between normal Arg1⁺ macrophages and Trem2-deficient Arg1⁺ macrophages under tubular debris stimulation.

Project description:Kidney fibrosis is the underlying pathological process of chronic kidney disease, the mechanisms of which are still incompletely understood. Following a transcriptome-wide gene expression analysis of PDGF-B in murine and human kidney cells, we generated transgenic mouse lines with Pdgfb deletion in major expressing cells. Mice with Pdgfb deletion in kidney tubular epithelial cells showed significantly reduced activation and proliferation of peritubular fibroblasts and fibrosis in three models with tubular injury of different etiologies. We identified paracrine PDGF signaling as a key molecular mechanism of cellular crosstalk mediating the transition of kidney tubular injury to interstitial fibrosis via induction of profibrotic niches.

Project description:The aim of this study is to evaluate the transcripitomics changes during dedifferentiation up to 7 days in a transwell system of rat primary proximal tubular cell (PTC) cultures isolated from rat kidneys. Samples were taken from freshly isolated PTC (0 days) and at timeponts during PTC differentiation (1, 2, 5 and 7 days). Samples from the kidney cortex, medulla and whole kidney slices were taken as control samples.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs of 18–23 nucleotides that regulate gene expression. Recently, plasma miRNAs have been investigated as biomarkers for various diseases. In the present study, we assessed whether the miRNA expression profiles of tubular tissues could discriminate proximal tubule injury and diagnose acute kidney injury (AKI) and the renal tubular dysfunction without morphological changes.

Project description:NF-κB is a key regulator of innate and adaptive immunity and is implicated in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI). The cell type-specific functions of NF-κB in the kidney are unknown; however, the pathway serves distinct functions in immune and tissue-parenchymal cells. We analyzed tubular epithelial-specific NF-κB signaling in a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced AKI. NF-κB reporter activity and nuclear localization of phosphorylated NF-κB subunit p65 analyses in mice revealed widespread NF-κB activation in renal tubular epithelia and in interstitial cells following IRI that peaked at 2-3 days after injury. To genetically antagonize tubular epithelial NF-κB activity, we generated mice expressing the human NF-κB super-repressor IκBα∆N in renal proximal, distal, and collecting duct epithelial cells. These mice were protected from IRI-induced AKI, as indicated by improved renal function, reduced tubular apoptosis, and attenuated neutrophil and macrophage infiltration. Tubular NF-κB-dependent gene expression profiles revealed temporally distinct functional gene clusters for apoptosis, chemotaxis, and morphogenesis. Primary proximal tubular cells isolated from IκBα∆N-expressing mice exposed to hypoxia-mimetic agent cobalt chloride were protected from apoptosis and expressed reduced levels of chemokines. Our results indicate that postischemic NF-κB activation in renal-tubular epithelia aggravates tubular injury and exacerbates a maladaptive inflammatory response.

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
