Project description:Here, we reveal for the first time the misregulated metabolic pathways in TSC kidneys and their relevance to TSC-associated cytogenesis. To this end, we have analyzed the metabolic profile of the whole kidney as well as sorted proximal tubule cell (PTCs) extracts. The metabolomics data show that Tsc1 deletion in nephron progenitor cells changes the arginine biosynthesis pathway as well as a substantial number of metabolic pathways.

Project description:Reversible protein phosphorylation is one of the major mechanisms in the regulation of protein expression and protein activity, controlling physiological functions of the important human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. Phosphorylations at serine, threonine and tyrosine are known to influence for example protein activity in central metabolic pathways and the more energy-rich phosphorylations at histidine, aspartate or cysteine can be found as part of two component system sensor domains or mediating bacterial virulence. In addition to these well-known phosphorylations, the phosphorylation at arginine residues plays an essential role. Hence, the deletion mutant S. aureus COL ΔptpB (protein tyrosine phosphatase B) was studied since the protein PtpB is assumed to be an arginine phosphatase. A gel-free approach was applied to analyse the changes in the phosphoproteome of the deletion mutant ΔptpB and the wild type in growing cells, thereby focusing on the occurrence of phosphorylation on arginine residues. In order to enhance the reliability of identified phosphorylation sites at arginine residues, a subset of arginine phosphorylated peptides was chemically synthesised. Combined spectral libraries based on phosphoenriched samples, synthetic arginine phosphorylated peptides and classical proteome samples provide a sophisticated tool for the analysis of arginine phosphorylations. This way, 212 proteins phosphorylated on serine, threonine, tyrosine or arginine residues were identified within the mutant ∆ptpB and 102 in wild type samples. Among them, 207 arginine phosphosites were identified exclusively within the mutant ∆ptpB, widely distributed along the whole bacterial metabolism. This identification of putative targets of PtpB allows further investigation of the physiological relevance of arginine phosphorylations and provides the basis for reliable quantification of arginine phosphorylations in bacteria.

Project description:Inflammatory responses are associated with monocyte recruitment into inflamed tissues, where they differentiate into monocyte-derived macrophages (moMACs). While tissue-specific reprogramming of moMACs is well-established, how they alter tissue metabolism remains unclear. Here, using a murine neuro-inflammation model coupled with genetic fate-mapping, metabolomics and metabolite imaging, we identify that central nervous system (CNS) moMACs infiltration is associated with substantial metabolic changes, assigning disease-associated metabolites (DAMs) therein. Particularly, we found decreased arginine levels due to increased arginine catabolism driven by lesion-associated arginase 1 (Arg1) expressing moMACs. Arg1-expressing moMACs were linked to disease severity and via their impacts on arginine were engaged in lipid-metabolism and pro-inflammation. Genetic Arg1 deficiency within moMACs during neuro-inflammation increased extracellular arginine, improved outcome, and resulted in rewiring of the CNS metabolic landscape, associated with attenuated DAMs and regulatory T-cell expansion. Together, we demonstrate key roles for moMACs-driven arginine catabolism in neuro-inflammation.

Project description:L-Arginine promotes oral keratinocyte proliferation under high glucose conditions. The treatment leads to changes in a substantial number of gene transcripts related to cell cycle, cell proliferation, and spliceosome GO terms as well as signaling pathways. Among these top-upregulated genes, CYP1A1, SKP2, and SRSF5 are of particular significance.

Project description:Chronic kidney disease is the main cause of mortality in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex disease (TSC). The mechanisms underlying TSC cystic kidney disease remain unclear with no available interventions to prevent cyst formation. Using targeted deletion of TSC1 in nephron progenitor cells, we showed that cysts in TSC1 null embryonic kidneys originate from injured proximal tubular cells with high mTOR complex 1 activity. Injection of rapamycin to pregnant mice inhibited the mTOR pathway and tubular cell proliferation in kidneys of TSC1 null offspring. Rapamycin also prevented renal cystogenesis and prolonged the life span of TSC newborns. Gene expression analysis of proximal tubule cells, identified sets of genes and pathways that were modified secondary to TSC1 deletion and rescued by rapamycin administration during nephrogenesis. Inflammation with mononuclear infiltration was observed in the cystic areas of TSC1 null kidneys. Dexamethasone administration during pregnancy decreased cyst formation not only by inhibiting the inflammatory response but also by interfering with the mTORC1 pathway. These results reveal novel mechanisms of cystogenesis in TSC disease and suggest new interventions prior to birth to ameliorate cystic disease in offspring.

Project description:The kidneys are metabolically active organs that are important for several physiological tasks such as the secretion of soluble wastes into urine. Other functions of the kidneys include synthesizing glucose and oxidizing fatty acids for energy in fasting (non-fed) conditions. Once damaged, the metabolic capability of the kidneys becomes altered. Here, we define metabolic tasks in a computational modeling framework to capture kidney function in an update to the iRno network reconstruction of rat metabolism using literature-based evidence. To demonstrate the utility of iRno for predicting kidney function, we exposed primary rat renal proximal tubule epithelial cells to five compounds with varying levels of nephrotoxicity (acetaminophen, carbon tetrachloride, gentamicin, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin, and trichloroethylene for six and twenty-four hours), and collected transcriptomics and metabolomics data to measure the metabolic effects of compound exposure. We observed changes in fatty acid metabolism and amino acid metabolism, consistent with changes in existing markers of kidney function such as Lcn2 (lipocalin), Clu (clusterin), and the carnitine transporter Octn2 (solute carrier family 22, member 5). The iRno metabolic network reconstruction was able to predict alterations in these same pathways after integrating transcriptomics data, and was able to distinguish between select compound-specific effects on the proximal tubule epithelial cells. Genome-scale metabolic network reconstructions with coupled omics data can be used to predict changes in metabolism to provide a step towards identifying novel biomarkers of kidney function and dysfunction.

Project description:Despite the recent advances in our understanding of the role of lipids, metabolites and related enzymes in mediating kidney injury, there is limited integrated multi-omics data identifying potential metabolic pathways driving human kidney damage (KD). The limited availability of kidney biopsies from living donors with kidney disease has remained a major constraint. Here, we validated the use of deceased transplant donor kidneys as a good model to study kidney disease in humans and characterized these kidneys using imaging and multi-omics approaches. We demonstrated that changes in kidney injury and inflammatory markers following KD were consistent with the changes in pre-donation renal function in donors. Neighborhood and correlation analyses of imaging mass cytometry data showed that a subset of renal cells (e.g., fibroblasts) are associated with the expression profile of renal immune cells, potentially linking these cells to kidney inflammation. Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis of human kidneys showed that renal arachidonic acid metabolism and seven other metabolic pathways were upregulated following KD. To validate the therapeutic potential of targeting the arachidonic acid pathway, we demonstrated increased levels of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) protein and related lipid mediators (e.g., prostaglandin E2) in the injured kidneys. The inhibition of cPLA2 reduced injury and inflammation in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC) in vitro. This study identifies cell types and metabolic pathways that may be critical for controlling inflammation associated with KD in humans.

Project description:Inappropriate or sustained activation of innate immunity is a pathologic feature of several common cardio-metabolic disorders. Little is known, however, about transcriptomic modulation during inflammatory stress in disease-relevant human tissues. We applied deep RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) during low-dose experimental endotoxemia (LPS) in healthy humans to interrogate, in an unbiased manner, inflammatory tissue-level transcriptome responses of relevance to complex cardio-metabolic diseases. We utilized adipose and blood samples from three individuals who underwent a standardized inpatient endotoxemia protocol. Our comprehensive analysis revealed substantial, highly tissue- and subject-specific LPS-modulated changes in the expression of protein-coding genes and linc-RNAs as well as alternative splicing (AS). We also confirmed adipocytes and macrophages as potential cell sources of selective LPS-modulated linc-RNAs and AS events. Finally, we defined disease relevance of a subset of findings in obese adipose tissue and through interrogation of overlap with genome-wide association study loci for cardio-metabolic traits. Our findings provide novel insights into tissue-level genomic regulation, not detectable through analysis of DNA variations alone, of relevance to common cardio-metabolic diseases. Using RNA-seq data to study LPS-modulated changes in lincRNA expression for adipose and blood of a healthy individual.

Project description:Sex differences have been increasingly recognized to play an important role in kidney physiology and pathophysiology, but limited resources are available for comprehensive interrogation of sex differences. Here, we coupled renal tubule microdissection with RNA-seq and ATAC-seq with a focus on proximal tubules that exhibited the greatest sex differences and carried out whole-kidney proteomics to build a comprehensive sex difference landscape between male and female mouse kidneys. The transcriptomic data indicate that the major sex differences are in S2 and S3 of proximal tubule segments, where signaling pathways including monocarboxylic acid metabolic process, organic anion transport, and organic acid transport display the greatest differences. We develop an ATAC-seq method on microdissected tubules to capture chromatin accessibility differences between sexes. The analysis reveals that major sex differences are in autosomes instead of sex chromosomes, and many of them are in S2/S3 segments related to the signaling pathways identified by transcriptomic analysis. Motif analysis identifies several transcription factors (Tead1, Nfia/b, and Pou3f3) whose interplay with other transcription factors (e.g. Hnf1b, Hnf4a) may contribute to sex differences. Finally, whole-kidney quantitative proteomics analysis correlates with the transcriptome analysis and identifies a large number of proteins (Cyp2e1, Acsm2/3) that are sex-dependent. We develop a knowledge portal to promote our understanding of sex differences in kidneys in kidneys at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/MRECA/PT/.
