Project description:Wilms Tumor, the most common pediatric kidney cancer, evolves from the failure of terminal differentiation of the embryonic kidney. Here we show that over-expression of the heterochronic regulator Lin28 during kidney development in mice markedly expands nephrogenic progenitors by blocking their final wave of differentiation, ultimately resulting in pathology highly reminiscent of Wilms tumor. Gene expression analysis was performed on a total of 8 kidneys samples, including 4 tumors samples from Lin28 transgenic mice and 4 control kidneys

Project description:Preterm neonates are at high risk for nephron loss under adverse clinical conditions (e.g., cardiocirculatory decompensation, nephrotoxic drugs). Importantly, the onset of renal damage potentially collides with the proceeding nephrogenesis of prematurity prior 36 weeks of gestation. Recent animal studies suggest that early nephron loss within this vulnerable phase is associated with more severe glomerular and tubulointerstitial alterations later in life, irrespective of the occurrence of arterial hypertension. It is known that nephrogenic pathways are reactivated after acute kidney injury supporting renal repair and regeneration. In this study we hypothesized that nephron loss during nephrogenesis leads to an alteration of the kidney developmental program which in turn impairs homeostasis and repair and thus aggravates kidney injury later in life. Preterm infants prior to 36 weeks of gestation show an active nephrogenesis after birth. In rats, nephrogenesis is still active until day 10 of life. Mimicking the human situation of acute nephron loss in preterm neonates with ongoing nephrogenesis, rats were uninephrectomized at day 1 of life (UNXd1). A second group of animals was uninephrectomized at day 14 of life (UNXd14), which resembles a nephron loss after terminated nephrogenesis. Age-matched control groups were sham operated. Three days after uninephrectomy the animals were sacrificed. Transcriptional renal changes were analyzed by RNAseqencing, followed by in silico functional pathway analysis. In UNXd1 animals 1182 genes were differentially regulated compared to the respective control group. The functional groups “renal development” and “kidney injury” were among the most differentially regulated groups and revealed distinctive alterations in UNXd1 animals. Reduced expression levels of candidate genes concerning renal development (Bmp7, Gdnf, Pdgf-B, Wt1) and kidney injury (nephrin, podocin, Tgf-β1) were detected in the kidney of UNXd1 animals. The downregulation of Bmp7 and Gdnf expression in the remaining kidney of UNXd1 animals persisted until day 28 of life. In UNXd14 rats Six2 was upregulated and Pax22 downregulated compared to controls. We conclude that neonatal nephron loss during active nephrogenesis affects renal development and induces persistently reduced expression levels of genes which in turn might hinder tissue repair after kidney injury later in life.

Project description:The heterochronic genes Lin28a/b and let-7 are well-established regulators of invertebrate development, however their functions in patterning the mammalian body plan remain unexplored. In this study, we discovered a novel function of Lin28/let-7 in controlling caudal vertebrae number during body axis formation. We found that FoxD1-driven overexpression of Lin28a or LIN28B led to a striking increase in caudal vertebrae number, whereas loss of Lin28a stunted tail formation. Accordingly, perturbation of the let-7 microRNA family led to the opposite phenotypes. We further show that overexpressing Lin28a in embryos resulted in increased tail bud cell proliferation, whereas Lin28a KO decreased cellular proliferation. This was accompanied by a transcriptional shift, including down-regulation of the neural marker Sox2, and resulted in a pro-mesodermal phenotype with decreased proportions of neural tissue relative to mesoderm in Lin28a-overexpressing embryos. Strikingly, Lin28a KO and let-7 over-expression demonstrated opposite effects, suggesting that the Lin28/let-7 pathway acts upstream of the signaling pathways controlling the self-renewal and cell fate commitment of neuro-mesodermal progenitors. We propose that Lin28a/b activity controls the pool of caudal progenitors during tail development, promotes their self-renewal potential, is involved in controlling the balance of neural versus mesodermal cell fate decisions, and that progressive down-regulation of Lin28a allows for species-specific vertebral formula to be achieved. These findings suggest that Lin28/let-7 play a role in the regulation of tail length through heterochrony of the body plan.

Project description:LIN28 is a conserved RNA binding protein implicated in pluripotency, reprogramming and oncogenesis. Previously shown to act primarily by blocking let-7 microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis, here we elucidate distinct roles of LIN28 regulation via its direct messenger RNA (mRNA) targets. Through cross-linking and immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (CLIP-seq) in human embryonic stem cells and somatic cells expressing exogenous LIN28, we have defined discrete LIN28 binding sites in a quarter of human transcripts. These sites revealed that LIN28 binds to GGAGA sequences enriched within loop structures in mRNAs, reminiscent of its interaction with let-7 miRNA precursors. Among LIN28 mRNA targets, we found evidence for LIN28 autoregulation and also direct but differing effects on the protein abundance of splicing regulators in somatic and pluripotent stem cells. Splicing-sensitive microarrays demonstrated that exogenous LIN28 expression causes widespread downstream alternative splicing changes. These findings identify important regulatory functions of LIN28 via direct mRNA interactions.
