Project description:The formation of healthy tissue involves continuous remodelling of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Whilst it is known that this requires integrin-associated cell-ECM adhesion sites (CMAs) and actomyosin-mediated forces, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we examine how tensin3 contributes to formation of fibrillar adhesions (FBs) and fibronectin fibrillogenesis. Using BioID mass spectrometry and a mitochondrial targeting assay, we establish that tensin3 associates with the mechanosensors talin and vinculin. We show that the talin R11 rod domain binds directly to a helical motif within the central intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of tensin3, whilst vinculin binds indirectly to tensin3 via talin. Using CRISPR knock-out cells in combination with defined tensin3 mutations, we show (i) that tensin3 is critical for formation of alpha5 beta1-integrin FBs and for fibronectin fibrillogenesis, and (ii) the talin/tensin3 interaction drives this process, with vinculin acting to potentiate it.

Project description:Podocytes are essential cells of the renal blood filter. They structurally compose the renal blood filter by interdigitating with neighboring podocytes by the means of a modified adherens junction, the slit membrane. In podocyte injury, loss of podocytes is a common feature. Podocyte loss could be mediated by the cleavage of podocyte cell adhesion molecules through the A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10). Here we show that ADAM10 is highly abundant at the site of blood filtration, namely at podocyte foot processes. Podocyte-expressed ADAM10 is not required for the development of the renal filter but plays a major role in podocyte injury. Following antibody-mediated injury, ADAM10 is upregulated in humans and mice. ADAM10 activity results in the cleavage of cell-cell adhesion molecules. This cleavage paves the way for an activation of the injury related Wnt/-catenin signaling pathway and for podocyte loss. We therefore conclude that ADAM10-mediated ectodomain shedding of injury-related cadherins drives podocyte injury. As part of this project, we have analyzed the membrane proteome of murin podocytes to evaluate the abundance of membrane bound proteases.

Project description:we profiled GEC mRNA expression levels in two animal models with podocyte depletion. We used a transgenic mouse model with YFP-labelled GEC for sorting of GEC. Podocyte depletion was induced by injection of mice with a specific anti-podocyte antibody or crossing with a podocyte-specific doxycycline-induced diphtheria toxin A (DTA) expression transgenic mouse model. Both mouse models developed significant proteinuria, glomerulosclerosis, and podocyte depletion. YFP-positive GECs were sorted from these mice for RNA sequencing. Analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the diseased and control mice revealed significant alteration of metabolism and immune system in the antibody-mediated podocyte depletion model while angiogenesis, vascular development, actin cytoskeleton, and focal adhesion pathways were highly enriched in the DTA model. Apoptosis and cell adhesion pathways were enriched in both models. Apoptosis of GEC was confirmed in the kidney of these mice, which leads to the reduction of GEC number. We also identified a list of genes which were altered in both animal models. Among them, we have further validated Cd63, a molecule which is regulated in human DKD and plays a key role in endothelial cell function. In conclusion, this is the first unbiased approach to determine the genomic-wide response of GEC to podocyte depletion in two different animal models. Our study proves that podocyte depletion could induce GEC injury.

Project description:Background: Maintenance of the kidney filtration barrier requires coordinated interactions between podocytes and the underlying glomerular basement membrane (GBM). GBM ligands bind podocyte integrins to trigger actin-based signaling events critical for adhesion. Nck1/2 adaptors have emerged as essential regulators of podocyte cytoskeletal dynamics. However, the precise signaling mechanisms mediated by Nck1/2 in podocytes remain to be fully elucidated. Methods: We generated podocytes deficient in Nck1 and Nck2, and used transcriptomic approaches to profile expression differences. We further applied proteomic techniques to identify specific binding partners for Nck1 and Nck2 in podocytes. We used cultured podocytes and mice deficient in Nck1 and/or Nck2 along with podocyte injury models to comprehensively verify our findings. Results: Compound loss of Nck1/2 resulted in altered expression of genes involved in actin binding, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix composition. Accordingly, Nck1/2-deficient podocytes showed defects in actin organization and cell adhesion in vitro, with podocyte detachment and altered GBM morphology present in vivo. We identified distinct interactomes for Nck1 and Nck2, and uncovered a mechanism by which Nck1 and Nck2 cooperate to regulate actin bundling and integrin activation at focal adhesions via α-actinin-4. Furthermore, we found that loss of either Nck1 or Nck2 resulted in increased matrix deposition in vivo, with more prominent defects in Nck2 deficient mice, consistent with enhanced susceptibility to podocyte injury. Conclusion: These findings highlight distinct yet complementary roles for Nck proteins in regulating podocyte adhesion, controlling GBM composition and sustaining filtration barrier integrity.

Project description:Podocytes form filtration barrier through foot process around glomerualar basement membrane and selectively permit permeability of molecular smaller than albumin. Diabetes can cause podocyte pathological changes leading to high urine albumin level. Diabetic mouse model OVE26 has extremly high urine albumin and previously studies indicated its podocyte damaged. Here we try to find the key genes change in OVE26 diabetic mouse model podocyte by microarray assay while normal FVB mouse podocyte set as control. Podocyte eGFP transgenic mice were made on FVB background and crossbred to OVE26 diabetic model. Glomeruli isolated from OVE-GFP mice were digested by trypsin into signal cell. Podocytes with GFP were sorting out by FACS.

Project description:The progression of proteinuric kidney disease is associated with podocyte loss but the mechanisms remain unclear. Podocytes reenter the cell cycle to repair damaged ds DNA breaks. However, unsuccessful repair results in podocytes crossing the G1/S checkpoint and undergoes abortive cytokinesis. In this study, we identified Pfn1 as a major contributor in maintaining glomerular integrity and its loss in mice results in severe proteinuria, and kidney failure due to podocyte mitotic catastrophe, characterized by abundant multinucleated cells. Reentry of podocytes were identified by using FUCCI-2aR mice, accompanying the alteration of cell-cycle associated proteins, such as P21, P53, Cyclin B, and Cyclin D. Podocyte-specific translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) and RNAseq revealed a reduction of Ribosomal RNA-processing protein 8 (Rrp8) and re-expression of Rrp8 partially rescued the in-vitro phenotype. Clinical analysis of patients with proteinuric kidney disease demonstrated multinucleated podocytes and reduced podocyte profilin1 in kidney tissue. These results suggest that profilin is indispensible in regulating podocyte cell cycle and its disruption contributes to podocyte loss through mitotic catastrophe.

Project description:Deceased kidney donation after brain death (DBD) is the main source of transplants, yet these grafts yield inferior transplant outcomes when compared to living donation. In brain death, cerebral injury contributes to systemic biological dysregulation, causing significant cellular stress in donor kidneys that adversely impacts the quality of grafts. Here, we hypothesized that proteolytic processes in DBD kidneys might lead to podocyte damage with subsequent development of post-transplant dysfunction. Using protein topography and migration analysis platform (PROTOMAP), we mapped degradation profiles of cytoskeletal proteins in DBD kidneys. Cytoskeletal proteolytic degradation was further studied by Immunoblotting on a separate cohort of deceased and living donor kidney biopsies. To investigate potential mechanism of kidney cytoskeletal protein degradation, in-vitro human podocytes and ex-vivo precision-cut human kidney slices were employed. We found novel proteolytic profiles of key podocyte cytoskeletal proteins in donor kidneys associated with suboptimal posttransplant function. These were unique to brain-death and were not observed in circulatory-death or living-donor kidneys. Talin-specific protein degradation in DBD kidneys indicated Calpain-1 activation may have a key role in proteolytic processes observed in the dysfunctional kidneys. Investigation of the underlying mechanism suggests that Transforming-Growth Factor-β (TGFβ) induces Calpain-1 activation, leading to brain-death specific podocyte degradation patterns and dysregulation of actin cytoskeleton; events that were prevented, in-vitro, by Calpain inhibition. Conclusion Our data demonstrate that podocyte protein degradation impacts the quality of DBD kidneys, propose a role of TGFβ mediated Calpain-1 proteolytic processing of cytoskeletal Talin-1, suggesting therapeutic opportunities to prevent kidney dysfunction.
