RNA sequencing reveals transcriptional changes after Hippo signaling activation in podocytes

ABSTRACT: Podocytes are crucial for the establishment and maintenance of the blood-urine filtration barrier in the glomeruli of the kidney. Activation of the Hippo signaling pathway in podocytes leads to the induction of apoptosis and could be linked to the pathogenesis of proteinuric diseases like focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). To investigate the Hippo signaling controlled gene transcription, podocytes overexpressing LATS2, a core kinase of the Hippo pathway, were analyzed via RNA sequencing.

MYDGF Deficiency Exacerbates Mitotic Catastrophe of Podocytes in Glomerular Disease

Project description:Podocytes, highly differentiated glomerular epithelial cells, are essential for the maintenance of glomerular filtration barrier. Podocyte dysfunction in podocytes is a major determinant of proteinuric kidney disease. By RNA sequencing analysis in ADR-treated podocytes with or without MYDGF overexpression, we observed the significant changes of genes important in regulating cell cycle in podocytes with ADR treatment.

Inhibition of Rho-associated, coiled-coil-containing protein kinase 2 in murine podocytes

Project description:Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is characterized by damage to podocytes, a crucial pathological feature. While several mechanisms of podocyte injury have been suggested, many questions remain unanswered. Rho-associated, coiled-coil-containing protein kinase 2 (ROCK2), a serine/threonine kinase with diverse cellular functions, appears to play a significant role. We observed activation of ROCK2 in podocytes of mice with FSGS induced by adriamycin (ADR), as well as in cultured podocytes exposed to ADR. To delve deeper, we used conditional knockout mice where the ROCK2 gene was specifically disrupted in podocytes (PR2KO). These mice showed resistance to ADR-induced albuminuria, glomerular sclerosis, and podocyte damage. Additionally, pharmacological inhibition of ROCK2 significantly improved podocyte loss and kidney sclerosis in a mouse model of FSGS by counteracting profibrotic factors. RNA sequencing of podocytes treated with a ROCK2 inhibitor confirmed ROCK2's role as a regulator of the cyclic nucleotide signaling pathway. Our findings underscore the potential of ROCK2 inhibition as a therapeutic avenue for FSGS.

RNA expression data from glomeruli lacking von Hippel-Lindau protein in podocytes

Project description:We and others have previously shown that glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes express hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs). HIFs bind to hypoxia response elements in target genes, such as vascular endothelial growth factor, which is continually produced by podocytes throughout life. To further assess function of HIFs in podocyte biology, podocin-Cre mice were mated with floxed von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) mice to selectively delete VHL, a component of an E3 ligase complex responsible for degradation of HIFs in normoxia. We reasoned that cells lacking VHL would overexpress stable HIFs and upregulate hypoxia-responsive genes. Progeny from these crosses displayed two phenotypes, non-proteinuric with glomerular basement membrane (GBM) defects and proteinuric with GBM defects and end-stage renal failure at ~6 months of age. Gene changes associated with the mild, non-proteinuric phenotype were studied using isolated glomeruli from wildtype and Pod-Cre fVHL mice. At 4 weeks of age, urine was collected and urinary albumin was quantified by Albuwell elisa from Pod-Cre fVHL litters. At 6 weeks of age, glomeruli from 3 wildtype littermate controls and 3 non-proteinuric Pod-Cre fVHL mice were collected using the magnetic bead method. RNA was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays.

Primary cultures of glomerular parietal epithelial cells or podocytes with proven origin

Project description:Parietal epithelial cells (PECs) are crucially involved in the pathogenesis of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) as well as in focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). In this study, transgenic mouse lines were used to isolate pure, genetically tagged primary cultures of PECs or podocytes using FACsorting. By this approach, the morphology of primary glomerular epithelial cells in culture could be resolved: Primary podocytes formed either large cells with intracytoplasmatic extensions or smaller spindle shaped cells, depending on specific culture conditions. Primary PECs were small and exhibited a spindle-shaped or polygonal morphology. In the very early phases of primary culture, rapid changes in gene expression (e.g. of WT-1 and Pax-2) were observed. However, after prolonged culture primary PECs and podocytes still segregated clearly in a transcriptome analysis - demonstrating that the origin of primary cell cultures is important. Of the classical markers, synaptopodin and podoplanin expression were differentially regulated the most in primary PEC and podocyte cultures. However, no expression of any endogenous gene allowed to differentiate between the two cell types in culture. Finally, we show that the transcription factor WT1 is also expressed by PECs. In summary, genetic tagging of PECs and podocytes is a novel and necessary tool to derive pure primary cultures with proven origin. These cultures will be a powerful tool for the emerging field of parietal epithelial cell biology. Total RNA for genechip analysis was derived from: 1) Primary parietal cells isolated by FACS sorting of glomeruli cultivated in 1a) RPMI media 1b) EGM-MV media 2) Primary podocyte cells isolated by FACS sorting of glomeruli cultivated in 2a) RPMI media 2b) EGM-MV media

Isthmin-1 is a novel mediator of experimental glomerulonephritis through a pro-apoptotic action in podocytes

Project description:Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a leading cause of end stage renal disease and remains without specific treatment. To identify novel actors involved in the progression of FSGS, we used an experimental model of nephroangiosclerosis with FSGS in rats and performed a differential transcriptomic analysis. Among the genes that were several-fold upregulated in glomeruli, was Isthmin-1 (ISM), an ‘unknown’ to the kidney gene. The objective of the present study was to find if and what role plays ISM to renal pathophysiology.

Idiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis plasmas increase lipid droplet formation and perilipin-2 expression in human podocytes

Project description:Background: Many patients with idiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) develop recurrence of proteinuria after kidney transplantation. Several circulating permeability factors (CPFs) responsible for recurrence have been suggested, but there is no consensus about the identity of CPFs in FSGS. We aimed to find proteins involved in the mechanism of action of the CPF(s) and/or potential biomarkers for the presence of CPF(s). Methods: Cultured human podocytes were exposed to plasma from patients with FSGS with presumed CPF(s), or from (disease) controls. Podocyte proteomes were analyzed by mass spectrometry and differentially expressed proteins were validated using flow cytometry, RT-PCR, and immunofluorescence. Changes in podocyte granularity were examined using flow cytometry, electron microscopy imaging and BODIPY staining. Results: Perilipin-2 protein expression was increased in podocytes exposed to presumed CPF-containing plasmas, which was related to disease state and capacity of plasma to induce granularity in podocytes. Elevated perilipin-2 levels were confirmed at protein and mRNA level. The granules observed in podocytes actually are lipid droplets. Importantly, increased perilipin-2 staining was also detected in glomeruli of the FSGS patients whose active disease plasmas induced lipid droplets in podocytes. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that presumably CPF-containing plasma from FSGS patients alter podocyte lipid metabolism and increase perilipin-2 protein and lipid droplet accumulation. Future research should address the mechanism underlying CPF-induced alterations in podocyte lipid metabolism in the context of the pathogenesis of (recurrent) FSGS, which ultimately may result in novel leads for treatment.

Human iPSC-derived glomeruli provide an advanced model to interrogate podocyte biology and accurately recapitulate podocytopathy

Project description:Podocytes are highly specialised cells within the glomeruli of the kidney that maintain the filtration barrier by forming interdigitating foot processes and slit-diaphragms. Disruption to these features result in proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis. Studies into podocyte biology and disease have previously relied on conditionally immortalised cell lines due to the non- proliferative nature of this cell type. Here we describe an advanced model to study both podocyte and glomerular biology using isolated glomeruli from kidney organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells.

Urine single cell RNA-sequencing in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis reveals inflammatory signatures in immune cells and podocytes

Project description:The diagnosis of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) requires a renal biopsy which is invasive and can be problematic in children and in some adults. We used single cell RNA-sequencing to explore disease-related cellular signatures in 17 urine samples from 12 FSGS subjects. We identified immune cells in urine predominantly monocytes and renal epithelial cells including podocytes. Analysis revealed M1 and M2 monocyte subsets and podocytes showing increased expression of genes involved in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We confirmed M1 and M2 gene signatures using published monocyte/macrophage data from lupus nephritis and cancer. Using renal transcriptomic data from the Nephrotic Syndrome Study Network (NEPTUNE) we found that urine immune and EMT signature genes also showed higher expression in FSGS biopsies compared to minimal change disease biopsies. These results suggest that urine cell profiling may serve as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in nephrotic syndrome and may assist in identifying novel biomarkers and developing personalized therapeutic strategies.
