Glucocorticoid therapy regulates podocyte motility by inhibition of Rac1

ABSTRACT: Nephrotic syndrome (NS) occurs when the glomerular filtration barrier becomes excessively permeable leading to massive proteinuria. In childhood NS, dysregulation of the immune system has been implicated and increasing evidence points to the central role of podocytes in the pathogenesis. Children with NS are typically treated with an empiric course of glucocorticoid (Gc) therapy; a class of steroids that are activating ligands for the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) transcription factor. Although Gc-therapy has been the cornerstone of NS management for decades, the mechanism of action, and target cell, remain poorly understood. We tested the hypothesis that Gc acts directly on the podocyte to produce clinically useful effects without involvement of the immune system. In human podocytes, we demonstrated that the basic GR-signalling mechanism is intact and that Gc induced an increase in podocyte barrier function. To gain mechanistic insight we performed RNA microarray and ChIP-sequencing and identified Gc regulation of motility genes.

Gene expression in a conditionally immortalized mouse podocyte cell line

Project description:The specialized glomerular epithelial cell (podocyte) of the kidney is a complex cell that is often damaged in glomerular diseases. Study of this cell type is facilitated by an in vitro system of propagation of conditionally immortalized podocytes. Here, genes that are differentially expressed in this in vitro model of podocyte differentiation are evaluated. Conditionally immortalized undifferentiated mouse podocytes were cultured under permissive conditions at 33*C. Podocytes that were differentiated at the non-permissive conditions at 37*C were used for comparison.

Role of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase type IV in podocyte function in lupus nephritis

Project description:Kidney podocytes and their slit diaphragms contribute to prevent urinary protein loss. T cell from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus display increased expression of calcium/calmodulin kinase IV (CaMKIV). Here we evaluated the functional role of CaMKIV in lupus nephritis (LN) using kidney biopsy specimens and human podocyte cell line (AB8/13). We found that exposure of podocytes to IgG from LN patients resulted in entry of IgG into the cytoplasm. CaMKIV expression was found to be increased in podocytes of LN kidney biopsy specimens and exposure to IgG from LN patients. IgG entered podocytes using the FcRn receptor because when podocytes where treated with FcRn siRNA less IgG was found in the cytoplasm. The DNA microarray studies of podocytes exposed to LN IgG revealed that genes that are related to the activation of immune cells or podocyte damage were upregulated. These genes included CD86, CaMKIV, PTPN22, PDE5A, CD47 and MALT1. Interestingly, CD86 expression decreased after silencing CaMKIV in podocytes. Also, in situ hybridization experiments showed that the expression of CD86 was reduced in podocytes from MRL/lpr.camkivM-bM-^HM-^R/M-bM-^HM-^R mice. IgG from LN patients may enter podocytes through the FcRn and causes the upregulation of a distinct set of genes which may alter podocyte function. Upregulation of CaMKIV appears to precede that of genes known to be linked to podocyte damage such as CD86. These findings may indicate that inhibition of CaMKIV may prove of clinical use in patients with LN. IgG Purification Kits (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Inc.) are used for isolation and purification of immunoglobulin G of healthy and normal individual according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol. Flow through the column was used for non IgG binding samples. Cultured human podocytes with IgG purified from sera of normal individuals and LN patient for 24 hr were collected for RNA.

Transcription profiling of mouse Podocytes reveal use of FcRn to clear IgG from the glomerular basement membrane

Project description:The glomerular filtration barrier prevents large serum proteins from being lost into the urine. It is not known, however, why the filter does not routinely clog with large proteins that enter the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). Here we provide evidence that an active transport mechanism exists to remove immunoglobulins that accumulate at the filtration barrier. We found that FcRn, an IgG and albumin transport receptor, is expressed in podocytes and functions to internalize IgG from the GBM. Mice lacking FcRn accumulated IgG in the GBM as they aged and tracer studies showed delayed clearance of IgG from the kidneys of FcRn deficient mice. Supporting a role for this pathway in disease, saturating the clearance mechanism potentiated the pathogenicity of nephrotoxic sera. These studies support the idea that podocytes play an active role in removing proteins from the GBM and suggest that genetic or acquired impairment of the clearance machinery is likely to be a common mechanism promoting glomerular diseases. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA for genechip analysis was derived from two sources: Experiment Overall Design: 1) Primary mouse podocytes isolated by FACS sorting of collagenase digested glomeruli Experiment Overall Design: 2) In vitro differentiated conditionally immortalized mouse podocyte cell line. Experiment Overall Design: After obtaining genechip data, the expression of various IgG and albumin receptors was queried in the genechip data and then confirmed by RT-PCR.

Genome wide mapping of H3K27me3 in differentiated mouse podocytes

Project description:We explored H3K27me3 binding sites in the genome of differentiated, conditionally immortalized mouse podocytes. Cells were allowed to differentiate for 14 days, following thermoshifting, before treatment with either vehicle (DMSO) or the S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase inhibitor 3-deazaneplanocin A (DZNep, 5ÂµM for 48 hours) which degrades the histone methyltransferase, EZH2 ordinarily responsible for H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). DNA was immunopreciptated with an H3K27me3-specific antibody. Studying H3K27me3 modification in Mouse Podocyte

Human podocyte cell culture degradomics

Project description:Regulated intracellular proteolysis is essential in maintaining the integrity of podocytes and the glomerular filtration barrier of the kidney. Altered proteolytic substrate turnover has been associated with various glomerular diseases ranging from diabetic nephropathy to focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. However, thus far it has not been possible to systematically identify proteolytically cleaved proteins although some of the proteases have been characterized. Here we applied TAILS to map N-termini in the mouse glomeruli proteome and to determine and quantify N termini in podocyte cell cultures challenged with PAN.

Disruption of podocyte cytoskeletal biomechanics by dasatinib leads to nephrotoxicity

Project description:Kinase inhibitors (KIs) used in cancer therapeutics are associated with various side effects. One of the most significant adverse events that lead to discontinuation or modification of treatment is nephrotoxicity. We have identified BCR-ABL1 inhibitor dasatinib as a potential glomerular nephrotoxin due to its direct effect on podocyte biophysics. In order to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms used phospho-tyrosine enriched shotgun proteomics in immortalized mouse kidney podocytes treated with dasatinib.

MATN2 knock-down human immortalized podocytes LC-MS/MS

Project description:Basement membranes (BMs) are ubiquitous extracellular matrices whose composition remains elusive, limiting our understanding of BM regulation and function. By developing a bioinformatic and in vivo discovery pipeline, we define a network of over 220 human proteins localized to BMs. More than 100 BM-network genes associate with human phenotypes and by screening over 63,000 germline genomic sequences from families with rare disorders, we discovered novel predicted loss-of-function variants in MATN2. Biochemical analyses suggest that MATN2 interacts with many BM proteins, and we found that depletion of MATN2 affected levels of core BM components in human podocyte-derived extracellular matrix.
