Project description:RNA-seq technology was used to reveal the transcriptome changes of tubular epithelia in response to fluid flow and determine the role of primary cilia in this process. Many fluid flow-sensitive genes were identified, among which are those regulated by primary cilia sensing of fluid flow. These genes were further validated by RT-qPCR.
Project description:Here, establishing expansion cultures of hiPSC-derived ureteric bud tip cells, an embryonic precursor that gives rise to collecting ducts, we succeeded in advancing the developmental stage of collecting duct organoids and showed that all collecting duct organoids derived from PKD1-/- hiPSCs spontaneously develop multiple cysts, clarifying the initiation mechanisms of cystogenesis.
Project description:Analysis of expression changes in renal collecting duct epithelial cells by adenoviral mediated Krüppel like transcription factor 5 (KLF5) overexpression. KLF5 is a key regulator of static and inflammatory stage in renal collecting duct epithelial cells. We thought these results provide insights into downstream genes of KLF5 in renal collecting duct epithelial cells.
Project description:Identification of gene expressed in the enriched inner medullary collecting duct cells in rat. Experiment Overall Design: Rat inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells were isolated from 7 male Sprage-Dawley rats by collagenase and hyaluronidase digestion and follow by low speed centrifugation. The non-IMCD cells were collected by centrifugation of supernatant of enriched IMCD samples. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA about 3 ug were used per microarray (Rat 230 2.0 Genechip array). Experiment Overall Design: The experiments were repeat 3 times (3 pairs of IMCD VS non-IMCD)
Project description:Identification of gene expressed in the enriched inner medullary collecting duct cells in rat. Keywords: gene expression comparision between cell type
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of new born mouse kidney collecting duct (CD) cells comparing the infuence of gestational high salt stress on gene expression remolding of BdkrB2 receptor knockout CD cells with that of BdkrB2 receptor wild type CD cells. The BdkrB2 receptor has been shown to be playing a role in renal vascular tone, kidney secretion and reabsorption function, normal kidney development, while impaired BdkrB2 receptor in kidney shown being associated with renal agenesis and renal dysplasia. Goal was to determine the effects of BdkrB2 receptor knockout together with gestational high salt stress on collecting duct gene expression pattern.
Project description:Analysis of expression changes in renal collecting duct epithelial cells by adenoviral mediated Krüppel like transcription factor 5 (KLF5) overexpression. KLF5 is a key regulator of static and inflammatory stage in renal collecting duct epithelial cells. We thought these results provide insights into downstream genes of KLF5 in renal collecting duct epithelial cells. Total RNAs were isolated from adenovirally-mediated KLF5 over expressed cultured mIMCD-3 cells or control adenovirus infected mIMCD-3. We analyzed these two gene expression profiles after 24 hours after infection.

The BdkrB2 receptor has been shown to be playing a role in renal vascular tone, kidney secretion and reabsorption function, normal kidney development, while impaired BdkrB2 receptor in kidney shown being associated with renal agenesis and renal dysplasia. Goal was to determine the effects of BdkrB2 receptor knockout together with gestational high salt stress on collecting duct gene expression pattern. Single color microarray experiment, BdkrB2 knockout new born mouse CD cells vs. BdkrB2 WT mosue CD cells with both on gestational high salt stress. Biological replicates: 3 BdkrB2 null replicates, 3 BdkrB2 WT replicates. Expression level of each sample was normalized to WT1 replicate.
Project description:We would like to know the gene expression pattern in absence of transcription factor GATA2 in adult renal collecting duct We used Gata2 flox::Pax8-rtTA::Tet-Cre to make a doxycycline induced Gata2 renal tubule cell specific knockout mice We performed microarray analyses using DBA-lectin and magnetic beads purifed collecting duct cells from WT (n=3) or Gata2 CKO mice (n=3) at 4-weeks after doxycycline induction
Project description:We performed a transcriptomic analysis in a cohort of 6 Collecting Duct Carcinoma, 5 Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma and 4 non-matched normal renal tissues to unravel the underlying biological and molecular determinants and to identifiy specific genes and pathways of this rare tumor type.
