Project description:Incomplete repair after acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with progressive loss of tubular cell function and development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, we compared the kidney single-cell transcriptomes from the mice subjected to either unilateral ischemia-reperfusion kidney injury with contralateral nephrectomy (IRI/CL-NX, in which tubule repair predominates) or unilateral IRI with contralateral kidney intact (U-IRI, in which fibrosis and atrophy predominates) to investigate the mechanism(s) underlying transition to CKD following AKI.

Project description:Incomplete repair after acute kidney injury can lead to development of chronic kidney disease. To define the mechanism of this response, we compared mice subjected to identical unilateral ischemia-reperfusion kidney injury with either contralateral nephrectomy (where tubule repair predominates) or contralateral kidney intact (where tubule atrophy predominates). By day 14, the kidneys undergoing atrophy had more macrophages with higher expression of chemokines, correlating with a second wave of proinflammatory neutrophil and T cell recruitment accompanied by increased expression of tubular injury genes and a decreased proportion of differentiated tubules. Depletion of neutrophils and T cells after day 5 reduced tubular cell loss and associated kidney atrophy. In kidney biopsies from patients with acute kidney injury, T cell and neutrophil numbers negatively correlated with recovery of estimated glomerular filtration rate. Together, our findings demonstrate that macrophage persistence after injury promotes a T cell- and neutrophil-mediated proinflammatory milieu and progressive tubule damage.

Project description:To better understand the pathogenesis of AKI-to-CKD transition and specifically the mechanism of kidney atrophy, we compared the kidney response to an identical time of ischemic injury between mice subjected to unilateral ischemia/reperfusion (U-IRI) to induce atrophy and those subjected to unilateral IRI with contralateral nephrectomy (IRI/CL-NX) to induce adaptive repair. We performed single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analyses on day 14 after injury to identify major cell types in the kidney and the differential transcriptional response between the models in each cell type.

Project description:Background: Macrophages and tubular epithelial cell interactions are integral in kidney ischemia-incited interstitial inflammation leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). Ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) triggers tubular epithelial cells to express IL-34, a macrophage growth factor, that promotes AKI and subsequent CKD. IL-34 engages the cognate receptor, c-FMS, expressed by macrophages, and the recently discovered Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase Z (Ptprz). Ptprz, binds to multiple ligands other than IL-34 that progressively increase their expression in kidneys after I/R. Methods: We tested the hypothesis that signaling through Ptprz promotes macrophage-mediated AKI and subsequent CKD, by comparing Ptprz knockout (KO) with wild-type (WT) mice after I/R. Results: Ptprz was expressed by leukocytes and in tubular epithelial cells after I/R in mice. Using Ptprz KO mice we determined that during AKI and CKD renal pathology, and loss of renal function were ameliorated. Ptprz-dependent mechanisms mediated: (i) tubular epithelial cell expression of chemokines that fostered macrophage and T cell rich renal inflammation, and (ii) tubule injury and apoptosis, that resulted in the loss of tubules and interstitial fibrosis during CKD. As macrophages release mediators that induce tubular epithelial cell apoptosis, thus Ptprz-dependent mechanisms promote tubule damage. These findings are translational, as after I/R in human kidney transplants, PTPRZ and PTPRZ ligands were upregulated and expressed by the same cell populations as in mice. Moreover, PTPRZ levels in sera were elevated in kidney transplant patients. Conclusion: Intra-renal Ptprz-dependent macrophage and tubular epithelial cell mediated mechanisms promote AKI and subsequent CKD.

Project description:The cellular mechanisms of kidney tubule repair are poorly characterized in human. Here, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze the kidney in the first days after acute injury in 5 patients with severe COVID19. We found that tubule repair follows two converging patterns involving the plasticity of mature tubule cells and the expansion and differentiation of progenitor-like cells. Tubule repair by cell plasticity displayed substantial similarities between mouse and man and determined the transient expansion of undifferentiated tubule cells with altered functional and metabolic properties. Progenitor-like cells marked by PROM1 proliferated in response to injury and followed a differentiation process characterized by the sequential activation of the WNT, NOTCH and HIPPO signaling pathways. Taken together, our analyses reveal cell state transitions and fundamental cellular hierarchies underlying kidney injury and repair in patients.

Project description:Global gene expression in the primary cultured mouse kidney proximal tubule cells treated either DMSO or 1uM GW4064 (a FXR agonist) was compared. Results provide insight into mechanisms underlying effects of FXR activation on gene expression in mouse kidney proximal tubule cells. Male C57/BJ mice aged 6 weeks were sacrificed under anesthesia and kidney proximal tubule cells were cultured until confluent. Cells were treated with either GW4064 (1uM) or equal amount of DMSO and incubated for 24 hours. 4 total RNA samples per group were analyzed and gene expression was compared between the groups.

Project description:Epidemiological studies showed that patients with heart failure frequently develop kidney dysfunction, called cardio-renal syndrome (CRS). Elevated central venous pressure rather than low cardiac output strongly correlates with worsening renal function, and is being increasingly recognized as the pathophysiology responsible for CRS. However, due to the lack of appropriate animal models, the molecular mechanisms underlying the congestion-mediated acceleration of kidney injury, called renal congestion, remain unclear. In the present study, using a novel mouse renal congestion model, we detected injured tubule-specific cell-cell interactions in congestive kidneys and showed that Cellular Communication Network Factor 1 (CCN1) played an important role in this process. Transcriptomics of kidneys with ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and renal congestion revealed the up-regulation of paracrine chemokine-related pathways. The up-regulation of CCN1 was observed in the acute phase after kidney injury with renal congestion. Positive staining for phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase (pFAK), a downstream signaling molecule of CCN1, was noted in fibroblasts at injury sites in congestion-IRI kidneys. CCN1 activated the phosphorylation of FAK and ERK in vitro, which accelerated the migration of fibroblasts and macrophages. We then examined the effects of CCN1 deletion in tubular epithelia on congestion-mediated kidney injury in vivo. pFAK expression in injury sites was down-regulated in CCN1-KO mice, and the congestion-mediated worsening of tissue fibrosis was significantly ameliorated. In conclusion, we herein demonstrated the important role of injured tubule-derived CCN1 on pFAK-mediated fibroblast migration in congestive kidneys. The inhibition of CCN1 has potential as a therapeutic candidate for preventing the transition of renal congestion-mediated kidney injury to fibrosis.

Project description:Studies in animal models have suggested a linkage between the inflammatory response to injury and subsequent nephron loss during the acute kidney injury (AKI) to chronic kidney disease (CKD) transition. Failure of normal repair during the CKD transition correlates with de novo expression of vascular cell adhesion protein-1 (VCAM-1) by a subset of injured proximal tubule cells. This study identified the role of VCAM-1 expression in promoting the failed repair state. Single-cell transcriptome analysis of patients with AKI and CKD and whole kidney RNA and protein analyses of mouse models of CKD confirmed a marked increase of VCAM-1 expression in the proximal tubules of injured kidneys. In immortalized mouse proximal tubular cells and primary cultured renal cells (PCRCs), VCAM-1 expression was induced by proinflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β. Analyses of bulk RNA sequencing of TNF-α-treated primary cultured renal cells or pseudo-bulk RNA sequencing of biopsies from Kidney Precision Medicine Project datasets indicated activation of NF-κB and an enrichment of inflammatory response and cell adhesion pathways in VCAM-1-positive cells. Pharmacological inhibition of NF-κB signaling or genetic deletion of myeloid differentiation factor 88 and TIR domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β suppressed TNF-α- and IL-1β-induced VCAM-1 expression in vitro. TNF-α stimulation or overexpression of VCAM-1 significantly increased splenocyte adhesion to the mouse proximal tubular monolayer in culture. These results demonstrate that persistence of proinflammatory cytokines after AKI can induce NF-κB-dependent VCAM-1 expression by proximal tubule cells, mediating increased immune cell adhesion to the tubule and thus promoting further tubule injury and greater risk of progression from AKI to CKD.

Project description:Injury to the proximal tubule plays a central role in the initiation and progression of kidney fibrosis, and rates of chronic kidney disease progresses approximately 50% faster in males compared to females. We applied Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (TRAP) followed by RNA-sequencing to characterize the cell-specific proximal tubule transcriptional landscape during fibrosis in male vs. female mice.
