Analysis of the podocyte proteome of LPS treated mice

ABSTRACT: Podocyte injury is a major cause of chronic kidney disease, but the involved signaling pathways are largely unknown. Here, we used ultrasensitive proteomics to investigate the response of native podocytes from mice with Doxorubicin-induced injury. We observed perturbations of known propagating pathways of glomerular disease such as Jak-Stat signaling and cell adhesion but also in metabolism and proteins responding to mechanical stress. Using a phenotype-guided approach, we prioritized candidates by aligning proteinuria in individual mice with corresponding podocyte protein expression data. The protein Tropomodulin was decreased and correlated negatively with urinary albumin, and Villin and the mechanosensor protein Filamin-B were increased and correlated positively. We employed Drosophila nephrocytes for further functional analysis of prioritized proteins and studied filtration function and endocytosis. Loss of Villin and Tropomodulin led to an impaired function and reduced expression of endocytosis machineries as evidenced by nephrocyte garland proteomes. Loss of Cher, the orthologue of Filamin-B, led to increased endocytosis in nephrocytes, and Filamin-B abundance in single glomeruli correlated with the amount of deposited albumin in the same glomerulus in proteinuric rats. Filamin-B expression could also be increased by applying mechanical stress to podocytes in vitro, but Filamin-B was not increased in podocyte proteomes in LPS-induced injury despite similar regulation of pathways on the global proteome level. In conclusion, this study identified conserved mechanisms of podocyte stress response employing functional proteomics in purified native mouse podocytes and Drosophila nephrocytes.

<h4>Background</h4>Understanding podocyte-specific responses to injury at a systems level is difficult because injury leads to podocyte loss or an increase of extracellular matrix, altering glomerular cellular composition. Finding a window into early podocyte injury might help identify molecular pathways involved in the podocyte stress response.<h4>Methods</h4>We developed an approach to apply proteome analysis to very small samples of purified podocyte fractions. To examine podocytes in early d ...[more]

Project description:Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is a uremic toxin and ligand of the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr), a transcriptional regulator. Elevated serum IS may contribute to the progression of kidney disease. Therefore, we assessed mouse podocyte damage mediated by IS. Ahr was predominantly localized to the podocyte nucleus in vivo and in vitro. In isolated glomeruli, IS-exposure for 2 – 24 h induced Cyp1a1 expression, the most sensitive biomarker of Ahr activation. Mice exposed to IS for 4–8 weeks exhibited microalbuminuria, and mild glomerular injury characterized by ischemic changes, partial podocyte foot process effacement, as well as vascular and tubulointerstitial damage. Chronically IS-exposed kidneys exhibited decreased mRNA, decreased protein levels, and altered staining patterns for podocin, synaptopodin, and non-muscle myosin IIA (Myh9). Immortalized podocytes, upon differentiation, exhibited Ahr nuclear translocation beginning 30 min after 1 mM IS-exposure. At 2 h, there was a dose-dependent decrease in podocyte mRNA expression of WT1, Podxl, Snypo, Myh9, Actn4, and Cd2ap. After 24 h of exposure to IS, podocytes were smaller, had fewer actin/Myh9 fibers, and decreased viability. Ahr-RNAi decreased mRNA expression of podocyte-specific proteins and inhibited Cyp1a1 induction by IS-exposure. Combinations of Ahr-RNAi and IS-exposure further decreased Myh9 expression. In immortalized human podocytes, IS treatment caused cell injury, decreased mRNA expression of podocyte-specific proteins, integrins, collagens, cytoskeletal proteins, and bone morphogenetic proteins, and increased cytokine and chemokine expression. Thus, chronic IS-exposure causes glomerular damage by activating Ahr, altering podocyte function, differentiation, and morphology, and inducing a pro-inflammatory phenotype.

Project description:Glomerular podocytes are highly differentiated cells that are key components of the kidney filtration units. The podocyte cytoskeleton builds the basis for the dynamic podocyte cytoarchitecture and plays a central role for proper podocyte function. Recent studies implicate that immunosuppressive agents including the mTOR-inhibitor everolimus have a protective role directly on the stability of the podocyte cytoskeleton. To elucidate mechanisms underlying mTOR-inhibitor mediated cytoskeletal rearrangements, we carried out microarray gene expression studies to identify target genes and corresponding pathways in response to everolimus. We analyzed the effect of everolimus in a puromycin aminonucleoside experimental in vitro model of podocyte injury. Upon treatment with puromycin aminonucleoside, microarray analysis revealed gene clusters involving cytoskeletal-associated pathways, adhesion, migration and extracellular matrix composition to be affected. Everolimus is capable of protecting podocytes from injury, both on the transcriptome and protein level. Rescued genes included TUBB2B and DCDC2, both involved in microtubule structure formation in neuronal cells but not identified in podocytes so far. Confirming gene expression data, Western-blot analysis in cultured podocytes showed an increase of TUBB2B and DCDC2 protein after everolimus treatment, and immunohistochemistry in healthy control kidneys confirmed a podocyte-specific expression. Microtubule-inhibitor experiments led to a maldistribution of TUBB2B and DCDC2 as well as an aberrant reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Tubb2bbrdp/brdp mice showed a delay in glomerular podocyte and capillary development. Taken together, our study suggests that off-target, non-immune mediated effects of the mTOR-inhibitor everolimus on the podocyte cytoskeleton might involve regulation of microtubules, revealing a potential novel role of TUBB2B and DCDC2 in glomerular podocyte development We analyzed the effect of everolimus on gene expression in a puromycin aminonucleoside experimental in vitro model of podocyte injury using microarrays
