Project description:FGF23 has been known to play an important role of calcium-phosphorus (Ca-P) metabolism. Recently, biological roles of FGF23 other than Ca-P metabolism were reported, such as commitment to myocardium enlargement and immunological roles in spleen. Thus, it was thought FGF23 might have roles other than Ca-P metabolism in renal tubule epithelial cells. So, we tried to identify new biological roles of FGF23 in those cells using DNA microarray analysis in mouse renal tubule epithelial cell line, mIMCD3, with FGF23 stimulation. As the results, expressions of 8 genes were upregulated and those of 18 genes were downregulated in mIMCD3 with FGF23 stimulation compared to those in mIMCD3 without FGF23 stimulation. Three out of 8 upregulated genes were protein coding genes and remaining 5 genes were non protein coding genes. Fifteen out of 18 downregulated genes were protein coding genes and remaining 3 genes were non protein coding genes.

Project description:FGF23 via its coreceptor αKlotho (KL) provides critical control of phosphate metabolism, which is altered in rare and very common syndromes. However, the spatial-temporal mechanisms dictating renal FGF23 functions remain poorly understood, thus developing approaches to modify specific FGF23-dictated pathways has proven problematic. Herein, wild type mice were injected with rFGF23 for 1, 4 and 12h and renal FGF23 bioactivity was determined at single cell resolution. Computational analysis identified distinct epithelial, endothelial, stromal, and immune cell clusters, with differential expressional analysis uniquely tracking FGF23 bioactivity at each time point. FGF23 actions were sex independent but critically relied upon constitutive KL expression mapped within proximal tubule (S1-S3) and distal tubule (DCT/CNT) cell sub-populations. Temporal KL-dependent FGF23 responses drove unique and transient cellular identities, including genes in key MAPK- and vitamin D-metabolic pathways via early- (AP-1-related) and late-phase (EIF2 signaling) transcriptional regulons. Combining ATACseq/RNAseq data from a cell line stably expressing KL with the in vivo scRNAseq pinpointed genomic accessibility changes in MAPK-dependent genes, including the identification of FGF23-dependent EGR1 distal enhancers. Finally, we isolated unexpected crosstalk between FGF23-mediated MAPK signaling and pro-inflammatory TNF receptor activation via NF-κB, which blocked FGF23 bioactivity in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, our findings have uncovered novel pathways at the single cell level that likely influence FGF23-dependent disease mechanisms.

Project description:FGF23 is a bone-derived hormone that mediates renal phosphate reabsorption and 1,25(OH)2 vitamin D metabolism via its required co-receptor alpha-Klotho (KL). The functional pathways guiding this hormone’s activity in kidney have not been studied extensively, and whether using other factors with overlapping signaling profiles to produce FGF23-like responses is unclear. To map FGF23-related genes, gene array and single-cell RNA sequencing were utilized on wild type mouse kidneys. After identifying Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HBEGF) as an up-regulated gene in response to FGF23 delivery, KL-null and phosphate-deficient diet fed mouse models and in vitro experiments were utilized to further test HBEGF bioactivity in kidney. Gene array demonstrated that HBEGF was significantly up-regulated following FGF23 delivery to wild type (WT) mice. Next, mice injected with HBEGF had phenotypes consistent with partial FGF23-mimetic activity including robust induction of EGR1, and increased CYP24A1 mRNAs. Single cell RNA sequencing showed overlapping HBEGF and EGFR expression in the proximal tubule (PT), and KL expression in PT and distal tubule (DT) segments. In KL-null mice devoid of canonical FGF23 signaling, HBEGF injections significantly increased EGR1 and CYP24A, and correction of basally-elevated CYP27B1 was observed. In addition, mice placed on a phosphate deficient diet to suppress FGF23 had endogenously increased CYP27B1 mRNA, which was rescued in mice receiving HBEGF. In HEK293 renal epithelial cells, HBEGF and FGF23 increased CYP24A1 mRNA. Targeting pathways known to be downstream of FGF23 in kidney may help to control renal phosphate handling in diseases of altered FGF23 bioactivity.

Project description:PURPOSE: To provide a detailed gene expression profile of the normal postnatal mouse cornea. METHODS: Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was performed on postnatal day (PN)9 and adult mouse (6 week) total corneas. The expression of selected genes was analyzed by in situ hybridization. RESULTS: A total of 64,272 PN9 and 62,206 adult tags were sequenced. Mouse corneal transcriptomes are composed of at least 19,544 and 18,509 unique mRNAs, respectively. One third of the unique tags were expressed at both stages, whereas a third was identified exclusively in PN9 or adult corneas. Three hundred thirty-four PN9 and 339 adult tags were enriched more than fivefold over other published nonocular libraries. Abundant transcripts were associated with metabolic functions, redox activities, and barrier integrity. Three members of the Ly-6/uPAR family whose functions are unknown in the cornea constitute more than 1% of the total mRNA. Aquaporin 5, epithelial membrane protein and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) omega-1, and GST alpha-4 mRNAs were preferentially expressed in distinct corneal epithelial layers, providing new markers for stratification. More than 200 tags were differentially expressed, of which 25 mediate transcription. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to providing a detailed profile of expressed genes in the PN9 and mature mouse cornea, the present SAGE data demonstrate dynamic changes in gene expression after eye opening and provide new probes for exploring corneal epithelial cell stratification, development, and function and for exploring the intricate relationship between programmed and environmentally induced gene expression in the cornea.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Project description:Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β) is a tissue-specific transcription factor that is essential for the development of the kidney. Mutations of HNF-1β produce autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD) characterized by tubular cysts, renal fibrosis, and progressive decline in kidney function. To understand the functions of HNF-1β, we generated HNF-1β-deficient mIMCD3 renal epithelial cells. Gene editing with CRISPR/Cas9 was used to delete exon 1 of HNF-1β by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). We performed RNA-seq on three independent HNF-1β-deficient mIMCD3 cell lines and three paired control cell lines. Our RNA-seq of HNF-1β-deficient cells showed upregulation of 1,135 genes and repression of 759 genes compared to control cells. Pathway analysis revealed that fibrosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathways were highly activated in HNF-1β-deficient cells. We conclude that loss of HNF-1β in renal epithelial cells leads to the activation of a transcriptional network that induces EMT and aberrant TGFβ signaling. Targeting this network may inhibit fibrosis in ADTKD and other chronic kidney diseases.

Project description:Translational research is commonly performed in the C57B6/J mouse strain, chosen for its genetic homogeneity and phenotypic uniformity. Here, we evaluate the suitability of the white-footed deer mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) as a model organism for aging research, offering a comparative analysis against C57B6/J and diversity outbred (DO) Mus musculus strains. Our study includes comparisons of body composition, skeletal muscle function, and cardiovascular parameters, shedding light on potential applications and limitations of P. leucopus in aging studies. Notably, P. leucopus exhibits distinct body composition characteristics, emphasizing reduced muscle force exertion and a unique metabolism, particularly in fat mass. Cardiovascular assessments showed changes in arterial stiffness, challenging conventional assumptions and highlighting the need for a nuanced interpretation of aging-related phenotypes. Our study also highlights inherent challenges associated with maintaining and phenotyping P. leucopus cohorts. Behavioral considerations, including anxiety-induced responses during handling and phenotyping assessment, pose obstacles in acquiring meaningful data. Moreover, the unique anatomy of P. leucopus necessitates careful adaptation of protocols designed for Mus musculus. While showcasing potential benefits, further extensive analyses across broader age ranges and larger cohorts are necessary to establish the reliability of P. leucopus as a robust and translatable model for aging studies.

Project description:BackgroundCopy number variation is an important dimension of genetic diversity and has implications in development and disease. As an important model organism, the mouse is a prime candidate for copy number variant (CNV) characterization, but this has yet to be completed for a large sample size. Here we report CNV analysis of publicly available, high-density microarray data files for 351 mouse tail samples, including 290 mice that had not been characterized for CNVs previously.ResultsWe found 9634 putative autosomal CNVs across the samples affecting 6.87% of the mouse reference genome. We find significant differences in the degree of CNV uniqueness (single sample occurrence) and the nature of CNV-gene overlap between wild-caught mice and classical laboratory strains. CNV-gene overlap was associated with lipid metabolism, pheromone response and olfaction compared to immunity, carbohydrate metabolism and amino-acid metabolism for wild-caught mice and classical laboratory strains, respectively. Using two subspecies of wild-caught Mus musculus, we identified putative CNVs unique to those subspecies and show this diversity is better captured by wild-derived laboratory strains than by the classical laboratory strains. A total of 9 genic copy number variable regions (CNVRs) were selected for experimental confirmation by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR).ConclusionThe analysis we present is a comprehensive, genome-wide analysis of CNVs in Mus musculus, which increases the number of known variants in the species and will accelerate the identification of novel variants in future studies.

Project description:BackgroundLong terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons make up a large fraction of the typical mammalian genome. They comprise about 8% of the human genome and approximately 10% of the mouse genome. On account of their abundance, LTR retrotransposons are believed to hold major significance for genome structure and function. Recent advances in genome sequencing of a variety of model organisms has provided an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate better the diversity of LTR retrotransposons resident in eukaryotic genomes.ResultsUsing a new data-mining program, LTR_STRUC, in conjunction with conventional techniques, we have mined the GenBank mouse (Mus musculus) database and the more complete Ensembl mouse dataset for LTR retrotransposons. We report here that the M. musculus genome contains at least 21 separate families of LTR retrotransposons; 13 of these families are described here for the first time.ConclusionsAll families of mouse LTR retrotransposons are members of the gypsy-like superfamily of retroviral-like elements. Several different families of unrelated non-autonomous elements were identified, suggesting that the evolution of non-autonomy may be a common event. High sequence similarity between several LTR retrotransposons identified in this study and those found in distantly-related species suggests that horizontal transfer has been a significant factor in the evolution of mouse LTR retrotransposons.
