Project description:Background: The mammalian kidneys maintain salt and water homeostasis for proper electrolyte balance and hydration. As the glomerular filtrate passes through the nephron and into the renal medulla, electrolytes, water, and urea are reabsorbed through the concerted actions of solute carrier channels and aquaporins located at various positions along the nephron and in the outer and inner medulla. Renal epithelial cells develop from Pax2 positive proliferating stem cells that suppress Pax2 expression once differentiated into mature proximal and distal tubules, but continue to express the related Pax8 protein. The collecting tubules and renal medulla are derived from a Pax2 positive ureteric bud epithelia that continue to express Pax2 and Pax8 in adult kidneys. Despite the necessity for Pax2 in renal development, functions for Pax2 or Pax8 in adult renal epithelia have not been established. Methods: In this report, we deleted either Pax2, Pax8, or both genes in adult mice and examined the phenotypes and changes in gene expression patterns. The mechanism of Pax8 mediated activation of potential target genes was described in inner medullary collecting duct cells. Results: Mice with induced deletions of both Pax2 and Pax8 exhibit severe polyuria that can be attributed to significant changes in the expression of solute carriers, such as the urea transporter UTA1, and aquaporins within the inner and outer medulla. Furthermore, Pax8 expression is induced by high salt in collecting duct cells and activates the UTA1 gene by recruiting a histone methyltransferase complex to the promoter. Conclusions: These data uncover novel functions for Pax proteins, in adult renal epithelia, that are essential for retaining water and concentrating urine.

Project description:Heterozygous and homozygous Pax2 E11.5 embryos were collected and the intermediate mesoderm was dissected and dispersed into single cells. The Pax2 positive cells also expressed EGFP, which was knocked into the Pax2 locus. EGFP positive cells were sorted by FACS and RNA isolated. We compared RNA expression levels in EGFP positive cells from Pax2 null and Pax2 heterozygote embryos.

Project description:PAX2 is one of nine PAX genes that regulate tissue development and cellular differentiation in embryos. PAX2 promotes cell proliferation, oncogenic transformation, cell lineage specification, migration, and survival. In our previous study, we found that PAX2 is highly expressed in low-grade ovarian serous carcinoma, but its expression in clear cell, endometrioid, and mucinous cell ovarian carcinomas have not been studied. More importantly, the functional role of PAX2 in ovarian cancer is not known. Downregulation of PAX2 in PAX2-expressing ovarian cancer cells inhibits cell proliferation and migration. This growth inhibition is due to the upregulation of the tumor suppressor gene G0S2 and subsequent induction of apoptosis. The PAX2 pathway thus represents a potential therapeutic target for PAX2-expressing ovarian carcinomas. Knockdown PAX2 expression in these cell lines was achieved by lentiviral shRNAs targeting the PAX2 gene. PAX2 stable knockdown cells were characterized for cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and gene expression profiles.

Project description:We performed a genomewide differential gene expression analysis by Ion AmpliSeqTM Transcriptome sequencing that targets more than 20,000 human genes to gain insights into the genes and pathways involved in the onset of familial steroid-resistant Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) driven by the presence of a heterozygous mutation in the PAX2 gene (PAX2G189R/+). Using a stepwise protocol, we differentiated control and PAX2G189R/+ induced pluripotent stem cells into podocytes and we performed whole-transcriptomic analysis on control and patient cells on days 6, 13 and 18 of differentiation. Our data indicated that the PAX2 mutation mainly affects the focal adhesion pathway and the expression of IGF1, a PAX2 target, in adult podocytes that are more susceptible to cell death by environmental triggers.

Project description:The aim of the study is to understand the role of the transcription factor PAX2 in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cell line by using ChIP-seq. MCF-7-PAX2 stable cells were cultured in full media and treated with doxycycline (50ng/ml) for 16 hours to induce overexpression of PAX2-HA protein. Then cells were treated with 4-OH-tamoxifen (1μM) for 6 hours. All 3 treatments (Veh, Dox, DoxTam) were performed in duplicates. After treatments, cells were collected for ChIP experiment with HA antibody. ChIP-seq libraries were sequenced and data analysis showed almost no binding in Veh treatment, indicating low backgroud and good quality of the data. PAX transcription factor motif were enriched in PAX2 peaks, indicating the reliability of the data. When crossing the ChIP-seq data with genes regulated by PAX2 in MCF-7, we could observe high level binding of PAX2 to prmoters of PAX2 up-regulated genes and the center of intergenic transcripts induced by PAX2, suggesting the role of PAX2 in regulating transcription activation.

Project description:In order to define the transcriptional network functionally regulated by Pax8 as well as infer its direct targets, we performed RNAi to knock-down Pax8 gene in FRTL-5 thyroid cells. Expression data from three independent silencing experiments were analyzed by microarray technology unraveling 2815 genes differentially expressed between silenced cells and controls. Of these, 1421 genes were down-regulated and 1394 genes were up-regulated 72hrs after Pax8 silencing. The results obtained suggest that Pax8 regulates numerous pathways, some of which involved in the regulation of cell cycle, thyroid cancer and apoptosis, thus confirming that Pax8 is a master regulatory gene. Rat differentiated thyroid cells from FRTL-5 line were transfected with siGENOME Pax8 siRNA (siPax8, experimental) or siGENOME Non-Targeting siRNA (ntPax8, controls). The trascriptome from three siPax8 biological replicates, 72 hours after transfection, was compared to the trascriptome from 3 control ntPax8 biological replicates. Microarray analysis was performed at gene-level using the AffymetrixGeneChip Rat Gene 1.0 ST array
