Project description:The genetic landscape and molecular features of collecting duct carcinoma (CDC) of the kidney remain largely unknown. Herein, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) and transcriptome sequencing (RNASeq) on 7 CDC samples (CDC1 -7). Among the 7 samples, 4 samples with matched non-tumor tissue were used for copy number analysis by SNP array data. No recurrent somatic SNVs were observed except for MLL, which was found to be mutated (p.V297I and p.F407C) in 2 samples. We identified somatic SNVs in 14 other cancer census genes including: ATM, CREBBP, PRDM1, CBFB, FBXW7, IKZF1, KDR, KRAS, NACA, NF2, NUP98, SS18, TP53, and ZNF521. SNP array data identified a CDKN2A homozygous deletion in 3 samples and SNV analysis showed a non-sense mutation of the CDKN2A gene with unknown somatic status. To estimate the recurrent rate of CDKN2A abnormalities, we performed FISH screening of additional samples and confirmed the frequent loss (62.5%) of CDKN2A expression. Since cisplatin based therapy is the common treatment option for CDC, we investigated the expression of solute carrier (SLC) family transporters and found 45% alteration. In addition, SLC7A11 (cystine transporter, xCT), a cisplatin resistance associated gene, was found to be overexpressed in 4 out of 5 (80%) cases of CDC tumors tested, as compared to matched non-tumor tissue. In summary, our study provides a comprehensive genomic analysis of CDC and identifies potential pathways suitable for targeted therapies.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the exact age-adjusted incidence (AAI), clinical characteristics, and survival data of collecting duct carcinoma of the kidney (CDCK) recorded in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database of the National Cancer Institute.MethodsPatients with CDCK confirmed by microscopic examination from 2004 to 2018 were selected from the SEER database. AAI rates were calculated using SEER*Stat software (version 8.3.9). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates according to tumor size, tumor stage, and treatment methods, and differences among these variables were assessed by the log-rank test. Cox regression analysis was employed to identify variables independently related to CSS.ResultsA total of 286 patients with CDCK were identified from the database. The majority of the patients were white (69.2%), male (67.5%), and married (60.5%), and the median age was 59 years. Most patients with CDCK (74.4%) presented with stages III or IV disease. The diameter of most (59.4%) tumors was less than 7 cm, and the tumors were more commonly found on the left than on the right (55.2% vs. 44.8%). The incidence of CDCK decreased over time. The median CSS time was 17 months. In terms of the treatment modalities used, 83.9% of the patients underwent surgery; 32.9% underwent chemotherapy, and 13.6% underwent radiotherapy. The CSS rates at 1, 2, and 5 years were 57.3%, 43.2%, and 30.7%, respectively. In patients with stage IV CDCK treated with surgery alone, chemotherapy alone, and surgery plus chemotherapy, the median survival time was 5 months, 9 months, and 14 months, respectively (P =0.024). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed surgery, chemotherapy, stage, regional lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis were independent prognostic factors for patients with CDCK.ConclusionsCDCK is an uncommon malignant renal carcinoma, and its incidence is decreasing based on the analysis of current data. CDCK is a high stage, regional lymph-nodes positive, and metastatic disease. Compared with surgery alone or chemotherapy alone, patients with stage IV could gain survival benefit from surgery combined with chemotherapy.

Project description:A polarized collecting duct (CD), formed from the branching ureteric bud (UB), is a prerequisite for an intact kidney. The small Rho GTPase Rac1 is critical for actin cytoskeletal regulation. We investigated the role of Rac1 in the kidney collecting system by selectively deleting it in mice at the initiation of UB development. The mice exhibited only a mild developmental phenotype; however, with aging, the CD developed a disruption of epithelial integrity and function. Despite intact integrin signaling, Rac1-null CD cells had profound adhesion and polarity abnormalities that were independent of the major downstream Rac1 effector, Pak1. These cells did however have a defect in the WAVE2-Arp2/3 actin nucleation and polymerization apparatus, resulting in actomyosin hyperactivity. The epithelial defects were reversible with direct myosin II inhibition. Furthermore, Rac1 controlled lateral membrane height and overall epithelial morphology by maintaining lateral F-actin and restricting actomyosin. Thus, Rac1 promotes CD epithelial integrity and morphology by restricting actomyosin via Arp2/3-dependent cytoskeletal branching.

Project description:Kidneys are essential for acid-base homeostasis, especially when organisms cope with changes in acid or base dietary intake. Because collecting ducts constitute the final site for regulating urine acid-base balance, we undertook to identify the gene network involved in acid-base transport and regulation in the mouse outer medullary collecting duct (OMCD). For this purpose, we combined kidney functional studies and quantitative analysis of gene expression in OMCDs, by transcriptome and candidate gene approaches, during metabolic acidosis. Furthermore, to better delineate the set of genes concerned with acid-base disturbance, the OMCD transcriptome of acidotic mice was both compared to that of normal mice and mice undergoing an adaptative response through potassium depletion. Metabolic acidosis, achieved through a NH4Cl-supplemented diet for 3 days, not only induced acid secretion, but also stimulated the aldosterone and vasopressin systems and triggered cell proliferation. Accordingly, metabolic acidosis increased the expression of genes involved in acid-base transport, sodium transport, water transport and cell proliferation. In particular, more than 25 transcripts encoding proteins involved in urine acidification (subunits of H-ATPase, kidney anion exchanger, chloride channel Clcka, carbonic anhydrase 2, aldolase) were co-regulated during acidosis. We propose that these trancripts cooperating to a same function and co-regulated during acidosis constitute a functional regulon.

Keywords: SAGE; Kidney collecting duct; Mouse; Metabolic acidosis; V-ATPase Approximately 650 OMCDs were microdissected, as previously described from collagenase-treated kidneys of 6 mice fed the NH4Cl-supplemented diet for 3 days. 20960 tags were sequenced in the acidosis SAGE library. After withdrawing duplicate ditags and linker sequences, the 19146 tags remaining corresponded to 8847 different tags.This acidosis library is similar in size and diversity to the normal mouse OMCD libraries previously generated (GEO accession number : GSM23478). The tag abundance in the two library was compared and discussed.

Project description:The kidney cortical collecting duct (CCD) comprises principal cells (PCs), intercalated cells (IC), and the recently discovered intermediate cell type. Kidney pathology in a mouse model of the syndrome of apparent aldosterone excess revealed plasticity of the CCD, with altered PC:intermediate cell:IC ratio. The self-immortalized mouse CCD cell line, mCCDcl1, shows functional characteristics of PCs, but displays a range of cell types, including intermediate cells, making it ideal to study plasticity. We knocked out Adam10, a key component of the Notch pathway, in mCCDcl1 cells, using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, and isolated independent clones, which exhibited severely affected sodium transport capacity and loss of aldosterone response. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed significantly reduced expression of major PC-specific markers, such as Scnn1g (γ-ENaC) and Hsd11b2 (11βHSD2), but no significant changes in transcription of components of the Notch pathway were observed. Immunostaining in the knockout clone confirmed the decrease in expression of γ-ENaC and importantly, showed an altered, diffuse distribution of PC and IC markers, suggesting altered trafficking in the Adam10 knockout clone as an explanation for the loss of polarization.

Project description:Vasopressin acts on the inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) in the kidney to regulate water and urea transport. To obtain a "parts list" of gene products expressed in the IMCD, we carried out mRNA profiling of freshly isolated rat IMCD cells using Affymetrix Rat 230 2.0 microarrays with approximately 31,000 features; 7,913 annotated transcripts were found to be expressed above background in the IMCD cells. We have created a new online database (the "IMCD Transcriptome Database;" http://dir.nhlbi.nih.gov/papers/lkem/imcdtr/) to make the results publicly accessible. Among the 30 transcripts with the greatest signals on the arrays were 3 water channels: aquaporin-2, aquaporin-3, and aquaporin-4, all of which have been reported to be targets for regulation by vasopressin. In addition, the transcript with the greatest signal among members of the solute carrier family of genes was the UT-A urea transporter (Slc14a2), which is also regulated by vasopressin. The V2 vasopressin receptor was strongly expressed, but the V1a and V1b vasopressin receptors did not produce signals above background. Among the 200 protein kinases expressed, the serum-glucocorticoid-regulated kinase (Sgk1) had the greatest signal intensity in the IMCD. WNK1 and WNK4 were also expressed in the IMCD with a relatively high signal intensity, as was protein kinase A (beta-catalytic subunit). In addition, a large number of transcripts corresponding to A kinase anchoring proteins and 14-3-3 proteins (phospho-S/T-binding proteins) were expressed. Altogether, the results combine with proteomics studies of the IMCD to provide a framework for modeling complex interaction networks responsible for vasopressin action in collecting duct cells.
