Project description:BackgroundMesenchymal nephron progenitors (mNPs) give rise to all nephron tubules in the mammalian kidney. Since premature depletion of these cells leads to low nephron numbers, high blood pressure, and various renal diseases, it is critical to understand how mNPs are maintained. While Fgf, Bmp, and Wnt signaling pathways are known to be required for the maintenance of these cells, it is unclear if any other signaling pathways also play roles.MethodsTo test the potential role of Hedgehog signaling in mNPs, we conditionally deleted Shh from the collecting duct and Smo from the nephron lineage. To identify the genes regulated by Hedgehog signaling in mNPs, we performed RNA-seq analysis from mNPs with different Smo doses. To test if the upregulation of Notch signaling mimics loss of Hedgehog signaling, we performed Jag1 gain-of-function study in mNPs.ResultsWe found that loss of either Shh or Smo resulted in premature depletion of mNPs. Our transcriptional profiling data from Smo loss- and gain-of-function mutant mNPs suggested that Hedgehog signaling inhibited the activation of Notch signaling and upregulated the expression of Fox transcription factors such as Foxc1 and Foxp4. Consistent with these observations, we found that ectopic expression of Jag1 caused the premature depletion of mNPs as seen in the Smo mutant kidney. We also found that Foxc1 was capable of binding to mitotic condensed chromatin, a hallmark of a pioneer factor.ConclusionsOur study demonstrates a previously unappreciated role of Hedgehog signaling in preventing premature depletion of mNPs by repressing Notch signaling and likely by activating the expression of pioneer factors.

Project description:Self-renewing undifferentiated nephron progenitors express Six2, a transcription factor that is required for their maintenance as undifferentiated progenitors. Differentiation of nephron progenitors is triggered by Wnt/b-catenin signaling. In order to understand how Six2 and Wnt signaling counteract each other, we performed ChIP-seq of Six2 and b-catenin in mesenchymal nephron progenitor cells. Nephron progenitors were FACS-isolated from BAC transgenic Six2GFPcre-positive embryonic kidneys at E16.5. For Six2 ChIP, freshly FACS isolated Six2+ cells were used. For b-catenin ChIP, FACS isolated Six2+ cells were aggregated by centrifugation at 850g for 5min and incubated in 10%FBS/DMEM containing 4uM BIO for 24hrs.

Project description:During mammalian kidney development, mesenchymal nephron progenitors (cap mesenchyme) differentiate into the epithelial cells that go on to form the nephron. Although differentiation of nephron progenitors is triggered by activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling, constitutive activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling blocks epithelialization of nephron progenitors. Full epithelialization of nephron progenitors requires transient activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling. We performed transcriptional profiling of nephron progenitors responding to constitutive or transient activation of Wnt/b-catenin signaling. Nephron progenitors were FACS-isolated from BAC transgenic Six2GFPcre-positive embryonic kidneys at E16.5. Cells were aggregated by centrifugation at 850g for 5min and incubated in 10%FBS/DMEM containing either 4uM BIO or the equal volume of DMSO for 24hrs or 48hrs.

Project description:Nephron progenitors in the embryonic kidney propagate while generating differentiated nephrons. However, the progenitors in mice terminally differentiate shortly after birth. We defined culture conditions to selectively propagated nephron progenitors in vitro in an undifferentiated state. To understand how expression profiles of Six2+ cells changed during culture in vitro compared with in vivo, we performed microarray analysis of Six2+ cells at E11.5 (starting material) and P0 (experiencing 8 days in vivo), and cultured Six2+ cells at E11.5 for 8 days or 19 days. Microarray analysis were performed with isolated Six2-positive nephron progenitors from transgenic mice embryo at E11.5 or P0, and cultured E11.5 Six2+ cells for 8 or 19 days in conditioned media. P0 non-progenitors represent Six2-GFP-negative cells at P0.

Project description:All nephrons in the mammalian kidney arise from a transient nephron progenitor population that is lost after birth. The recreation of nephron progenitors (NPs) and/or their maintenance in culture has been a major focus of renal regenerative strategies. Using a lentiviral screening approach, we previously generated an induced nephron progenitor (iNP) state in vitro using a pool of six transcription factors (SIX1, SIX2, HOXA11, OSR1, EYA1, SNAI2). Here, using an inducible piggyBac transposon system, we demonstrate efficient reprogramming to iNPs with only three transcription factors (SNAI2, EYA1 and SIX1). Coupled with maintenance in culture conditions supportive of this progenitor state, the resulting population can contribute to developing nephrons in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo. This approach provides a rapid and efficient method for the generation of NPs from human somatic cells.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) primarily reside in the bone marrow where signals generated by stromal cells regulate their self-renewal, proliferation, and trafficking. Endosteal osteoblasts and perivascular stromal cells including endothelial cells3, CXCL12-abundant reticular (CAR) cells, leptin-receptor positive stromal cells, and nestin-GFP positive mesenchymal progenitors have all been implicated in HSC maintenance. However, it is unclear if specific hematopoietic progenitor cell (HPC) subsets reside in distinct niches defined by the surrounding stromal cells and the regulatory molecules they produce. CXCL12 (stromal-derived factor-1, SDF-1) regulates both HSCs and lymphoid progenitors and is expressed by all of these stromal cell populations. Here, we selectively deleted Cxcl12 from candidate niche stromal cell populations and characterized the effect on HPCs. Deletion of Cxcl12 from mineralizing osteoblasts has no effect on HSCs or lymphoid progenitors. Deletion of Cxcl12 from osterix-expressing stromal cells, which includes CAR cells and osteoblasts, results in constitutive HPC mobilization and a loss of B lymphoid progenitors, but HSC function is normal. Cxcl12 deletion in endothelial cells results in a modest loss of long-term repopulating activity. Strikingly, deletion of Cxcl12 in nestin-negative mesenchymal progenitors using Prx1-Cre is associated with a marked loss of HSCs, long-term repopulating activity, HSC quiescence, and common lymphoid progenitors. These data suggest that osterix-expressing stromal cells comprise a distinct niche that supports B lymphoid progenitors and retains HPC in the bone marrow, while expression of CXCL12 from stromal cells in the perivascular region, including endothelial cells and mesenchymal progenitors, support HSCs. Total of three samples of two groups analyzed. Replica samples of CXCL12-abundant reticular (CAR) cells from two CXCL12-GFP knock-in mice and a combined sample of PDGFRa+ Sca+ CD45- lineage- cells from three Prx1-Cre Rosa26Ai9/+ Cxcl12gfp/+ mice were used and analyzed.
