Mesangial cell-derived extracellular matrix protein 1 is essential for maintaining mesangial matrix homeostasis and glomerular architecture

ABSTRACT: Mesangial cells (MCs) and mesangial matrix (MM) constitute the mesangium, which is essential for maintaining normal glomerular structure and function. The mechanisms by which MCs regulate MM dynamics remain poorly understood. This study investigates the role of MC-derived extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) in this process. To elucidate the mechanism, we collected kidney samples from WT and Ecm1-KO mice at each time points (1, 2, and 4 weeks), with n = 3 per group and performed RNA-seq, aiming to capture the dynamic transcriptomic changes underlying the loss of ECM1.

Comparative analysis of commercial human primary mesangial cell, implications for experimental design.

Project description:Research on human glomerular mesangial cells (MCs) is mainly performed in vitro on primary MCs. Commercially available MCs originate from different donors and thus, because of their origin, the outcome of the experiments could potentially be affected. We have compared two commercially available primary human MCs (HMCv1 and HMCv2) using proteomics. Baseline differences and differences after treatment with a known proliferation factor (PDGF-B) were investigated.

Single glomerular mesangial cells RNA-seq analysis

Project description:Available single-cell RNA-seq analyses have revealed that individual cells of the same type differ substantially in gene expression. We wonder whether glomerular mesangial cells, the cell type that support the unique structure of glomeruli, also exhibit big difference in gene expression among individual cells; and what biological information could be obtained from the single-mesangial cell RNA-seq data. Therefore, we isolated mouse glomeruli by Dynabead/magnetic concentration method, and digested them with enzymes to dissociate the cells. We loaded the single cell suspension to a Fluidigm C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep System for single cell cDNA preparation. The cDNA samples were analyzed with mesangial cell marker, Gata3,and the Gata3 positive samples were amplified and underwent sequecing using Illumina Highseq 2000 system.

Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals the mesangial identity and species diversity of glomerular cell transcriptomes

Project description:Molecular characterization of the individual cell types in human kidney as well as model organisms are critical in defining organ function and understanding translational aspects of biomedical research. Previous studies have uncovered gene expression profiles of several kidney glomerular cell types, however, important cells, including mesangial (MCs) and glomerular parietal epithelial cells (PECs), were missing or incompletely described, and a systematic comparison between mouse and human kidney is lacking. To this end, we used Smart-seq2 to profile 4332 individual glomerulus-associated cells isolated from human living donor renal biopsies and mouse kidney. The analysis revealed genetic programs for all four glomerular cell types (podocytes, glomerular endothelial cells, MCs and PECs) as well as rare glomerulus-associated macula densa cells (MDCs). Importantly, we detected heterogeneity in glomerulus-associated Pdgfrb-expressing cells, including bona fide intraglomerular MCs with the functionally active phagocytic molecular machinery, as well as a unique mural cell type located in the central stalk region of the glomerulus tuft. Furthermore, we observed remarkable species differences in the individual gene expression profiles of defined glomerular cell types that highlight translational challenges in the field and provide a guide to design translational studies.

Transcriptomic and proteomic profiling reveal insights of mesangial cell function in patients with IgA Nephropathy

Project description:IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerulonephritis in the world. The disease is characterized by galactose deficient IgA (gd-IgA) in the circulation forming immune complexes. The complexes are deposited in the glomerular mesangium leading to inflammation and loss of renal function, but the pathophysiology of the disease is still not fully understood. Using an integrated global transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approach we investigated the role of the mesangium in the onset and progression of IgAN. Global gene expression was investigated by microarray analysis of the glomerular compartment of renal biopsies from patients with IgAN. The influence of galactose deficient IgA (gd-IgA) on mesangial cells was investigated by proteomic profiling. By utilizing the previous published literature curated glomerular cell type-specific genes, we found that mesangial cells and their positive standard genes play a more dominant role in IgAN comparing to the podocyte standard genes. Additionally, the patient clinical parameters (serum creatinine values and estimated glomerular filtration rate - eGFR) significantly correlate with z-scores derived from expression profile of mesangial cell positive standard genes. 22 common pathways were identified both from in vivo microarray data and in vitro mesangial cell mass spectrometry data and the main part was inflammatory pathways. The correlation between clinical data and mesangial standard genes allows for a better understanding of the onset of IgAN. The genes, proteins and their corresponding pathways identified in this paper give us novel insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to progression of IgAN. RNA from glomerular compartment was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Hyperactivation of YAP/TAZ drives alterations in mesangial cells through stabilization of N-MYC in diabetic nephropathy

Project description:Mesangial cells (MCs) in the kidney are central to maintaining glomerular integrity, and their impairment leads to major glomerular diseases including diabetic nephropathy (DN). Although high blood glucose elicits abnormal alterations in MCs, the underlying molecular mechanism is poorly understood. Here, we show that YAP and TAZ, the final effectors of the Hippo pathway, are highly increased in MCs of patients with DN and of Zucker diabetic fatty rats. Moreover, high glucose directly induces activation of YAP/TAZ through the canonical Hippo pathway in cultured MCs. Hyperactivation of YAP/TAZ in mouse model MCs recapitulates the hallmarks of DN, including excessive proliferation of MCs and extracellular matrix deposition, endothelial cell impairment, glomerular sclerosis, albuminuria, and reduced glomerular filtration rate. Mechanistically, activated YAP/TAZ bind and stabilize N-Myc protein, one of the Myc family of oncogenes. N-Myc stabilization leads to aberrant enhancement of its transcriptional activity and eventually to MC impairments and DN pathogenesis. Together, these findings shed light on how high blood glucose in diabetes mellitus leads to DN and support a rationale that lowering blood glucose in diabetes mellitus could delay DN pathogenesis.

RNA-seq of mixed mouse glomerular mesangial and endothelial cells

Project description:There are 3 cell types in a glomerulus: podocytes, mesangial cells and endothelial cells. These cell types play distinct roles in the structure and functions of glomeruli. In order to profile the gene expression of single glomerular cells, we isolated mouse glomeruli by Dynabead/magnetic concentration method and digested them with enzymes to dissociate them into single cells. We loaded the single cell suspension to a Fluidigm C1 Single-Cell Auto Prep System for single cell cDNA preparation. We performed qPCR analyses of marker genes of podocytes (Npsh2, Synaptopodin, WT1), mesangial cells (Gata3, IGFbp5) and endothelial cells (CD31, Tie2) to determine the identity of each cDNA sample. To identify podocyte-specific genes, we mixed 15 mesangial cell cDNA samples and 15 endothelial cell cDNA samples and further divided into 3 aliquots as replicates for sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000 system. The resulting data are used to compare with that of podocytes in order to identify podocyte-specific genes.

Human melanoma cells over-express Extracellular Matrix 1 (ECM1) which is regulated in part by TFAP2C

Project description:Extracellular Matrix 1(ECM1) expression is increased in multiple tumor cell lines and primary cancers. Activator protein 2C (TFAP2C) is a potent regulator of ECM1 transcription. TFAP2C may contribute to the increased ECM1 expression noted in many cancers. This is the first report identifying the minimal promoter region of the human ECM1 gene and its regulation by TFAP2C Human A375 melanoma cells were assessed for mRNA and protein expression of ECM1. A mininal promoter region for ECM1 transactivation was identified. ECM1 expression was regulated in part by TFAP2C, and in ChIP-Seq experiments, TFAP2C was found to bind directly to the ECM1 gene in A375 melanoma cells and in MCF7 breast cancer cells.

Single-cell RNA-seq profiling reveals novel insights in immune-complex deposition and epithelium transition in IgA nephropathy

Project description:IgA nephropathy represents the most prevalent chronic nephrosis worldwide. However, pathogenesis about IgA deposition and end-stage renal failure is still not well defined. Using single-cell RNA-seq, we identified the mesangial membrane receptor for IgA, which collaborates with increased extracellular matrix proteins and protease inhibitor to facilitate IgA deposition. Meanwhile, cell-cell interaction analysis revealed increased communications between mesangium and other cell types, uncovering how morbidity inside glomerulus spreads to whole kidney, which results in the genetic changes of kidney resident immune cells. Prominent interaction decreasing in intercalated cells leads to the discovery of a transitional cell type, which exhibited significant EMT and fibrosis features. Our work comprehensively characterized the pathological mesangial signatures, highlighting the step-by-step pathogenic process of IgA nephropathy from mesangium to epithelium.
