Inactivation of transcription factor HNF-1β with CRISPR/Cas9 induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition

ABSTRACT: Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β) is a tissue-specific transcription factor that is essential for the development of the kidney. Mutations of HNF-1β produce autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) characterized by tubular cysts, renal fibrosis, and progressive decline in kidney function. To understand the functions of HNF-1β, we generated HNF-1β-deficient mIMCD3 renal epithelial cells. Gene editing with CRISPR/Cas9 was used to delete exon 1 of HNF-1β by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). We performed RNA-seq on three independent HNF-1β-deficient mIMCD3 cell lines and three paired control cell lines. Our RNA-seq of HNF-1β-deficient cells showed upregulation of 1,135 genes and repression of 759 genes compared to control cells. Pathway analysis revealed that fibrosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathways were highly activated in HNF-1β-deficient cells. We conclude that loss of HNF-1β in renal epithelial cells leads to the activation of a transcriptional network that induces EMT and aberrant TGFβ signaling. Targeting this network may inhibit fibrosis in ADTKD and other chronic kidney diseases.

Collecting Duct-Specific Inactivation of HNF-1β Leads to Fibrocystic Disease and Impaired Urinary Concentration

Project description:Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β) is an essential transcription factor that regulates tissue-specific gene expression in the kidney, liver, pancreas and genitourinary tract. In humans, mutations of HNF-1β cause renal cysts and diabetes (RCAD) and congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). Inactivation of Hnf-1β in tubular epithelial cells throughout the nephron leads to early-onset cyst formation and postnatal lethality. Here, we used Pkhd1/Cre mice to delete Hnf-1β specifically in renal collecting ducts (CD). Hnf-1β mutant mice survived long-term and developed slowly progressive cystic kidney disease, renal fibrosis, and hydronephrosis. Compared with wild-type littermates, Hnf-1β mutant mice had higher urine volume, lower urine osmolality, and higher water intake. Differences were seen at baseline, following 24h water restriction, and following administration of dDAVP. Circulating ADH levels were similar in wild type and mutant mice. Polyuria, polydipsia, and decreased urine osmolality were present prior to the onset of cyst formation and hydronephrosis. These findings indicated that Hnf-1β mutant mice have a primary defect in urinary concentrating ability. Studies using in vitro hypertonicity response experiments identified NR1H4 (FXR), a transcription factor previously shown to regulate water homeostasis, as a novel HNF-1β target. mIMCD3 cells exposed to hypertonic medium robustly upregulated Fxr mRNA levels; this upregulation was lost in Hnf-1β mutant cells. HNF-1β was bound to the Fxr promoter region in vivo, and Fxr mRNA was significantly downregulated in mutant mice. FXR protein localized to CD in wild-type mice and was almost undetectable in the cyst epithelium of mutant mice. These findings highlight a new and critical role for HNF-1β in urinary concentration and hypertonicity by regulating the transcription of FXR in the CD.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β regulates Wnt signaling through genome-wide competition with β-catenin/lymphoid enhancer binding factor

Project description:Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β) is a tissue-specific transcription factor that is essential for normal kidney development and renal tubular function. Mutations of HNF-1β produce cystic kidney disease, a phenotype associated with deregulation of canonical (β-catenin-dependent) Wnt signaling. Here, we show that ablation of HNF-1β in mIMCD3 renal epithelial cells produces hyperresponsiveness to Wnt ligands and increases expression of Wnt target genes, including Axin2, Ccdc80, and Rnf43. Levels of β-catenin and expression of Wnt target genes are also increased in HNF-1β mutant mouse kidneys. Genome-wide ChIP-seq in wild-type and mutant cells showed that ablation of HNF-1β increases by five-fold the number of sites on chromatin that are occupied by β-catenin. Remarkably, 50% of the sites that are occupied by β-catenin in HNF-1β mutant cells colocalize with HNF-1β binding sites in wild-type cells, indicating widespread reciprocal binding. We found that the Wnt target genes Ccdc80 and Rnf43 contain a novel composite DNA element comprising a β-catenin/lymphoid enhancer binding factor (LEF) site overlapping with an HNF-1β half-site. HNF-1β directly competes with the binding of β-catenin/LEF complexes to this element and thereby inhibits β-catenin-dependent transcription. Collectively, these studies reveal a novel mechanism whereby a transcription factor constrains canonical Wnt signaling through direct inhibition of β-catenin/LEF chromatin binding.

Hnf-1β ChIP-Seq

Project description:Genome Wide mapping of Hnf-1β in kidney cells. Tissue-specific transcription factor that is expressed in the kidney and other epithelial organs. Humans with mutations in HNF1? develop kidney cysts, and HNF-1β regulates the transcription of several cystic disease genes. However, the complete spectrum of HNF-1β-regulated genes and pathways is not known. Here, we used ChIP-seq and DNA microarray analysis to identify 1,545 protein-coding genes that are directly regulated by HNF-1β in kidney epithelial cells. Pathway analysis predicted that HNF-1β regulates cholesterol metabolism. The expression of genes that are essential for cholesterol synthesis, including Srebf2 and Hmgcr, was reduced by expression of dominant-negative mutant HNF-1β or kidney-specific inactivation of HNF-1β. The levels of cholesterol biosynthetic intermediates and the rate of cholesterol synthesis were decreased in HNF-1β mutant cells. In addition, HNF-1β directly regulated the renal epithelial expression of PCSK9, a key regulator of cholesterol uptake, and depletion of cholesterol in the culture medium mitigated the inhibitory effects of mutant HNF-1β on SREBP-2 and HMGCR. These findings reveal a novel role of HNF-1β in regulating multiple steps in renal cholesterol metabolism.

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β gene regulation in E14.5 ureteric bud cells

Project description:HNF-1β mutations are one of the most common single-gene mutations that underlie kidney developmental disease. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF-1β) is essential for kidney development, but its functions in ureteric bud (UB) branching morphogenesis are incompletely understood. We isolated E14.5 UB cells using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and performed RNA-sequencing to compare gene expression in wild-type and HNF-1β deficient UB cells. 1632 genes have significantly lower expression in the HNF-1β deficient UB cells and 2223 genes have significantly higher expression in HNF-1β deficient UB cells.

Expression data from EMT-derived NRK-52E cells before and after the AMPKα2 knockdown

Project description:Recent studies have shown that AMPKα2 can regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) processes during kidney fibrosis. However, the underlying mechanisms for AMPKα2 changes in renal tubular EMT remain unclear. TGF-β1 was used to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) in normal rat renal tubular epithelial (NRK-52E) cells. Gene microarray was used to analyze differential gene expression in EMT-derived NRK-52E cells before and after the AMPKα2 knockout

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β binding in E14.5 kidney

Project description:HNF-1β mutations are one of the most common single-gene mutations that underlie kidney developmental disease. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF-1β) is essential for kidney development, but its functions in kidney development are incompletely understood. We identified 8284 HNF-1β binding sites using ChIP-sequencing. The majority of these peaks map to promoter (26%), intron (34%) or distal intergenic regions (37.4%) of the mouse genome. 61% of peaks map to protein coding genes, 12% map to long-noncoding RNAs, and 2% map to miRNAs.

Transcriptional profiling of renal cells expressing wild type or mutant uromodulin isoforms.

Project description:Uromodulin is the most abundant urinary protein. It is exclusively produced and released in the urine by renal epithelial cells lining the thick ascending limb of Henle’s loop (TAL). Mutations in UMOD, the gene encoding uromodulin, cause autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease uromodulin-related (ADTKD-UMOD). While the primary effect of all mutations, retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), is well established, its downstream effects are still unknown. The aim of this study was to gain insight into ADTKD-UMOD pathogenesis through transcriptional profiling of immortalised mouse TAL cells (mTAL) transduced with lentiviral vectors encoding wild type or mutant (C150S) GFP-tagged human uromodulin.

Therapeutically enabled mammalian kidney repair and regeneration

Project description:The kidney has large regenerative capacity that is impeded when injured renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) undergo SNAI1-driven partial epithelial mesenchymal transition (pEMT). Here we investigate the role of IL11 in TEC pEMT and kidney repair. Wild-type mice with acute kidney injury (AKI) upregulate IL11 in TECs triggering an ERK/P90RSK/GSK3β axis of SNAI1 expression leading to impaired renal function, which is abrogated in Il11 null mice. In mouse models of AKI, a neutralizing IL11 antibody promotes kidney regeneration, while attenuating pEMT, fibrosis and kidney dysfunction. In TECs, TGFβ1 induces autocrine IL11/ERK-dependent pEMT leading to paracrine, IL11-mediated fibroblast activation. Mice with TEC-specific deletion of Il11ra1 are protected from pEMT, inflammation, fibrosis and renal failure. In a mouse model of chronic kidney disease, administration of anti-IL11 reverses fibrosis, regenerates kidney parenchyma and restores renal function. Therapeutic inhibition of IL11 signaling appears permissive for promoting kidney regeneration and improving kidney function.

Single-cell transcriptional profiling of advanced renal fibrosis identifies novel specific fibroblast marker and disease target

Project description:Dissecting the molecular and cellular nature of advanced renal fibrosis is principal for mechanistic understanding of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and developing targeted strategies against its progression. Aberrant renal fibroblast activation and unresolved tubular epithelial injury are key contributors to excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) production and kidney function loss. However, the transcriptional and cellular identities of activated renal fibroblasts remain poorly characterized. Moreover, historically used markers compromise specificity of activated renal fibroblasts tracing and targeting. Here, we created comprehensive single cell transcriptional profiles of two clinically relevant long-term renal fibrosis models and revealed three distinctive “secretory”, “contractile” and “migratory” fibroblast clusters. We identified a novel specific renal activated fibroblast marker expressed in all three populations. Advanced kidney fibrotic remodeling elicited sustaining developmental signature and pronounced epithelial-to-stromal crosstalk. Furthermore, we mechanistically validated AHNAK as a putative novel target of kidney injury in a primary human in vitro model of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
