Project description:The number of patients requiring dialysis therapy continues to increase worldwide due to the lack of effective treatments for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, no curative treatments for acute kidney injury (AKI) have been established. The therapeutic effects of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived nephron progenitor cells (hiPSC-NPCs) on AKI have been reported in mice but not clinically confirmed. There are also no reports examining the therapeutic potential of hiPSC-NPCs on CKD. Although large numbers of uniform hiPSC-NPCs are required for cell therapies for AKI and CKD, effective expansion cultures remain to be developed. Here, we established a CFY (CHIR99021, FGF9, Y-27632) medium for cell culture that enables more than 100-fold proliferation of hiPSC-NPCs from multiple hiPSC lines in two passages. We demonstrated that hiPSC-NPCs expanded by CFY or their conditioned medium alone attenuate kidney injury and improve survival in cisplatin-induced AKI mice. We also observed that hiPSC-NPCs prevented kidney functional decline, interstitial fibrosis, and senescence in aristolochic acid-induced CKD mice. In addition, we discovered c-MET as a specific cell surface marker for hiPSC-NPCs and confirmed that purified c-MET+ hiPSC-NPCs have therapeutic effects on AKI and CKD. Furthermore, we found that hiPSC-NPCs exerted their therapeutic effects in AKI and CKD mice by secreting vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). Together, expanded hiPSC-NPCs are useful cell therapies for AKI and CKD, and may open new avenues for treating kidney diseases.

Project description:Cell-based models of many neurological and psychiatric diseases, established by reprogramming patient somatic cells into human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), have now been reported. While numerous reports have demonstrated that neuronal cells differentiated from hiPSCs are electrophysiologically active mature neurons, the “age” of these cells relative to cells in the human brain remains unresolved. Comparisons of gene expression profiles of hiPSC-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and neurons to the Allen BrainSpan Atlas indicate that hiPSC neural cells most resemble first trimester neural tissue. Consequently, we posit that hiPSC-derived neural cells may most accurately be used to model the early developmental defects that contribute to disease predisposition rather than the late features of the disease. Though the characteristic symptoms of schizophrenia (SCZD) generally appear late in adolescence, it is now thought to be a neurodevelopmental condition, often predated by a prodromal period that can appear in early childhood. Postmortem studies of SCZD brain tissue typically describe defects in mature neurons, such as reduced neuronal size and spine density in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, but abnormalities of neuronal organization, particularly in the cortex, have also been reported. We postulated that defects in cortical organization in SCZD might result from abnormal migration of neural cells. To test this hypothesis, we directly reprogrammed fibroblasts from SCZD patients into hiPSCs and subsequently differentiated these disorder-specific hiPSCs into NPCs. SCZD hiPSC differentiated into forebrain NPCs have altered expression of a number of cellular adhesion genes, reduced WNT signaling and aberrant cellular migration. 3 independent differentiations (biological replicates) for each of four control and four schizophrenic patients were analyzed.

Project description:Cell-based models of many neurological and psychiatric diseases, established by reprogramming patient somatic cells into human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs), have now been reported. While numerous reports have demonstrated that neuronal cells differentiated from hiPSCs are electrophysiologically active mature neurons, the âageâ of these cells relative to cells in the human brain remains unresolved. Comparisons of gene expression profiles of hiPSC-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and neurons to the Allen BrainSpan Atlas indicate that hiPSC neural cells most resemble first trimester neural tissue. Consequently, we posit that hiPSC-derived neural cells may most accurately be used to model the early developmental defects that contribute to disease predisposition rather than the late features of the disease. Though the characteristic symptoms of schizophrenia SZ generally appear late in adolescence, it is now thought to be a neurodevelopmental condition, often predated by a prodromal period that can appear in early childhood. Postmortem studies of SZ brain tissue typically describe defects in mature neurons, such as reduced neuronal size and spine density in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, but abnormalities of neuronal organization, particularly in the cortex, have also been reported. We postulated that defects in cortical organization in SZ might result from abnormal migration of neural cells. To test this hypothesis, we directly reprogrammed fibroblasts from SZ patients into hiPSCs and subsequently differentiated these disorder-specific hiPSCs into NPCs. SZ hiPSC differentiated into forebrain NPCs have altered expression of a number of cellular adhesion genes and WNT signaling. Methods: We compared global transcription of forebrain NPCs from six control and four SZ patients by RNAseq. Results: Multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) resolved most SZ and control hiPSC NPC samples; 848 genes were significantly differentially expressed (FDR<0.01) Conclusions: The WNT signaling pathway was enriched 2-fold (fisher exact test p-value = 0.031). 1-2 independent differentiations (biological replicates) for each of four control and four schizophrenia patients were analyzed; samples were generated in parallel to neuron RNAseq data.

Project description:Nephron progenitor cells (NPCs) self-renew and differentiate into nephrons, the functional units of the kidney. Here we report manipulation of p38 and YAP activity creates a synthetic niche that allows the long-term clonal expansion of primary mouse and human NPCs, and induced NPCs (iNPCs) from human pluripotent stem cells. Cultured iNPCs resemble closely primary human NPCs, generating nephron organoids with abundant distal convoluted tubule cells, which are not observed in published kidney organoids. The synthetic niche reprograms differentiated nephron cells into NPC state, recapitulating the plasticity of developing nephron in vivo. Scalability and ease of genome-editing in the cultured NPCs allow for genome-wide CRISPR screening, identi-fying novel genes associated with kidney development and disease. A rapid, efficient, and scala-ble organoid model for polycystic kidney disease was derived directly from genome-edited NPCs, and validated in drug screen. These technological platforms have broad applications to kidney development, disease, plasticity, and regeneration.

Project description:Low nephron numbers are associated with increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension, both significant global health problems. To investigate the impact of nephron deficiency, our lab developed a novel inbred rat model (HSRA rat). In this model, approximately 75% of offspring are born with a single kidney (HSRA-S), compared to two-kidney littermates (HSRA-C). HSRA-S rats show impaired kidney development, resulting in ~20% fewer nephrons. Our previous data and current findings demonstrate nephron deficit (failure of one kidney to form and altered development in the remaining kidney) predispose HSRA-S to CKD late in life (increased proteinuria by 18 months of age in HSRA-S=51± 3.4 versus HSRA-C = 8± 1.5 mg/24hours). To understand early molecular mechanisms contributing to the increased predisposition to CKD, Methylseq using reduced representation bisulfite sequencing, single nuclei (sn)RNAseq, and discovery proteomics were performed in kidneys of 4-week-old HSRA rats. Methylation analysis revealed a small number of differences, including 5 differentially methylated cytosines and 6 differentially methylated regions between groups. The snRNAseq analysis identified differentially expressed genes in most kidney cell types, with several hundred genes dysregulated depending on the analysis method (Seurat vs DESeq2). Notably, many genes are involved in kidney development. Discovery proteomic analysis identified 366 differentially expressed proteins. A key finding was dysregulation of Deptor/DEPTOR and Amdhd2/AMDHD2 across omics layers, suggesting a potential role in compensatory mechanisms or the genetic basis of altered kidney development. Further understanding of these mechanisms may guide interventions to preserve nephron health and slow kidney disease progression.
