Project description:To understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms of pathogenesis of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease , we performed a microarray gene expression profiling in early stage kidneys of B6C3Fe a/a-bpck mutant and wild-type mice at postnatal day 3. Genes with over 1.5-fold expression changes in mutant kidneys compared with age matched wild-type tissues were selected for analysis. This study represents the first widespread profiling of B6C3Fe a/a-bpck mutant mouse kidney and provides a valuable platform for better understanding the molecular mechanisms of polycystic kidney disease in human.

Project description:Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is caused by mutations in the PKHD1 gene in both humans and the orthologous PCK rat model. Although ARPKD results solely from PKHD1 mutations, the disease onset and severity are highly variable, indicating that other unknown genetic risk factor(s) modify ARPKD-associated phenotypes. To identify genetic modifiers of ARPKD severity, we created two genetically distinct Pkhd1 congenic rat strains on the Fawn-Hooded Hypertensive (FHH) and the Dahl S (SS) rat backgrounds (denoted FHH.Pkhd1 and SS.Pkhd1, respectively) that harbor the PCK-derived Pkhd1 allele. The FHH.Pkhd1 and SS.Pkhd1 strains had lower renal cyst formation at 30 days-of-age (5±2% and 8±2% cystic, respectively; P<0.001) compared to the PCK kidneys (26±4% cystic), which coincided with significantly reduced kidney weights in the FHH.Pkhd1 and SS.Pkhd1. Liver cyst formation and liver weight did not differ between PCK, FHH.Pkhd1, and SS.Pkhd1. These data indicated that the PCK genome harbors genetic modifier(s) of ARPKD severity that are not present in the FHH and SS genomes. Using high density SNP array genotyping and microarray expression analysis, we identified 50 potential modifiers of ARPKD severity in the PCK rat. Of these candidates, a damaging nonsynonymous variant in Nphp4 stood out as the most likely candidate based on variant segregation, protein modeling, network analysis, and gene ontology. Nphp4 is widely associated with the autosomal recessive cilliopathy and nephronopthisis, but had not been previously implicated in the molecular or cellular pathophysiology of ARPKD. Collectively, these data provide genetic evidence of disease modifier(s) in the PCK model of ARPKD and prioritized multiple candidates, including NPHP4, for further investigation in ARPKD pathogenesis. In this study, we used microarray to analyze transcript expression in the kidneys of 30 day old SD (n=4), PCK (n=4), FHH (n=4), FHH.Pkhd1 (n=4), SS (n=4), and SS.Pkhd1 (n=4). Samples were pooled and the pooled samples were run in triplicate. The 30 day timepoint was chosen because the differences in renal cyst formation between PCK, FHH.Pkhd1, and SS.Pkhd1 were greatest at this timepoint. To account for genetic strain differences that do not contribute to ARPKD severity, gene expression of each cystic rat strain was compared to its parental strain.

Mutational analysis was performed in accordance with the protocol of Jackson Laboratory, total RNA was extracted from kidneys of 3 days of postnatal age using a monophasic solution of phenol/guanidine isothiocyanate and TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) according to their manual, and the samples were incubated with RNase-free DNase I (Ambion). The quality and concentration of each sample were confirmed by spectrophotometry. Affymetrix 430 2.0 arrays were used according to standard Affymetrix procedures. Data analysis was performed with dChip software (Dec.2010 version). These measurements were confirmed by Real-Time PCR.

Project description:Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a severe renal cystic disease mainly caused by PKHD1. However, its genetic cause, pathological features, and mechanism remained unsolved. Our findings may provide new insight on the pathophysiology of the polycystic kidney due to PKHD1 deficiency, and the PKHD1 mosaicism needs to be taken close attention in genetic testing of ARPKD.

Project description:Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects more than 12 million people worldwide. Mutations in PKD1 and PKD2 cause cyst formation through unknown mechanisms. To unravel the pathogenic mechanisms in ADPKD, multiple studies have investigated transcriptional mis-regulation in cystic kidneys from patients and mouse models, and numerous dysregulated genes and pathways have been described. Yet, the concordance between studies has been rather limited. Furthermore, the cellular and genetic diversity in cystic kidneys has hampered the identification of mis-expressed genes in kidney epithelial cells with homozygous PKD mutations, which are critical to identify polycystin-dependent pathways.

Project description:To elucidate the molecular pathways that modulate renal cyst growth in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) Keywords: Disease state analysis We performed global gene profiling on renal cysts of different size (small cysts: less than 1 ml, n=5; medium cysts: between 10-25 ml, n=5; large cysts: greater than 50 ml, n=3) and minimally cystic tissue (MCT, n=5) from five PKD1 polycystic kidneys. Additionally, non-cancerous renal cortical tissue from three nephrectomized kidneys with isolated renal cell carcinoma was used as normal control tissue (n=3). This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is a severe, monogenetically inherited kidney and liver disease and PCK rats carrying the orthologous mutant gene serve as a model of human disease. We combined selective MALDI imaging of sulfated kidney lipids and Fisher discriminant analysis of imaging data sets for identification of candidate lipid markers of progressive disease in PCK rats. Our study highlights strong increases in lower mass lipids as main classifiers of cystic disease. Structure determination by high resolution mass spectrometry identifies these altered lipids as taurine-conjugated bile acids. Beside increased levels of serum-cholesterol these sulfated lipids are selectively elevated in the PCK rat model but not in models of related hepatorenal fibrocystic diseases suggesting that they be molecular markers of the disease. Genome-scale gene expression profiling of PCK and SD livers as control was performed to attempt elucidation of some of the underlying mechanisms leading to increases of cholesterol and taurine-conjugated bile acids in the PCK rat. Several pathways were found to be changed in cystic livers with up regulation or down regulation of important gene sets. Enhanced expression of steroid biosynthesis genes might result in the observed increased levels of cholesterol. In contrast, primary bile acid biosynthesis was found to be down regulated in diseased livers. These findings might be explained by compensatory mechanisms of liver metabolism to reduce toxic levels of accumulated bile acids. Snap-frozen liver tissue of 10 week old rats were subjected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays to perform genome-scale gene expression profiling of n = 6 diseased PCK and n = 6 Sprague Dawley rat livers as control.
