Project description:The gene expression signature of the human kidney interstitium is not fully understood. Transcript expression of laser microdissected cortical interstitium (excluding tubules, glomeruli and large vessels) in 9 human reference nephrectomies was compared to 6 human diabetic kidney biopsy specimens. This transcriptomic data revealed novel interstitial markers and enrichment of relevant pathways. Analysis of diabetic interstitium uncovered genes with unchanged as well as down-regulated expression when compared to reference samples. Laser microdissection (LMD) methodology enables collection of transcriptomic data associated with renal interstitium to aid in interpretation of pathophysiology and precision medicine studies.

Project description:In deceased donor kidney transplantation, acute kidney injury (AKI) prioir to surgery is a major determinant of delayed graft function (DGF), but AKI is histologically silent and difficult to assess. We hypothesized that a molecular measurement of AKI would add power to conventional risk assessments to predict the early poor allograft function at first week post transplantation. We performed microarrays on implantation biopsies taken during reperfusion in 70 deceased donor kidneys from 53 donors. Early poor function was classified by two definitions on day 7 post-transplantation: serum creatinine greater than 265 umol/L (3 mg/dL) or the requirement for dialysis. Donor age and related risk scores (Irish, Schold, KDRI) associated with worse early function, as expected, but histologic features (glomerulosclerosis; pathology risk scores (Remuzzi, MAPI)) correlated with donor age but not with poor function. However, molecular AKI signal, previously defined in kidneys with early injury, was the best single predictor of poor allograft function. The combination of donor age and the AKI signal improved the prediction of poor function. In addition, asssessments of tissue quality particularly donor age, Banff ct, Irish and KDRI scores, showed negative correlative trend with late graft function, whereas the AKI signal did not. Thus donor age and the molecular AKI signal are the main predictors of early impaired function, but have little impact on survival.

Project description:It has been widely recognized that Acute kidney injury (AKI)represents a multifactorial, heterogeneous syndrome, or a spectrum of diseases. AKI is associated with prolonged hospitalization and high mortality, and it predisposes individuals to chronic kidney disease. To date, no effective AKI treatments have been established. This study used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to explore novel molecular mechanisms and gene targets for AKI. We identifies a distinct cell-specific gene expression profile, pathogenic signaling pathways and potential cell-cell communications in the pathogenesis of AKI. These findings will provide a promising novel landscape for mechanisms and treatment of AKI.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinically common and severe disease with a significant economic burden worldwide. Although several studies have focused on the pathogenesis of AKI, much remains unknown about its complex molecular regulatory network and pathophysiological mechanisms. This study combines mass spectrometry and RNA sequencing technologies to investigate nephrotoxin-induced AKI mice's protein and RNA expression profiles. The results revealed that Slc34a1 and Slc34a3 were significantly down-regulated in nephrotoxin-induced AKI mice and may be potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) infection can cause the lethal acute respiratory distress syndrome of the lung (ARDS). However, AKI is frequently noticed and correlated to an increased mortality. While the causality for influenza-related ARDS is well established, the pathogenesis of influenza-related AKI is incompletely understood. Yet, in post mortem studies of patients infected with H1N1- or H5N6-type IAV, viral antigen was detected in tubular and glomerular cells. Relevantly, receptors for human and avian IAV are present on human kidney cells, viremia was observed and IAV was repeatedly detected by infectivity- and PCR assays in human urine.

Project description:Microarray analysis of human kidneys with acute kidney injury (AKI) has been limited because such kidneys are seldom biopsied. However, all kidney transplants experience AKI, and early kidney transplants without rejection are an excellent model for human AKI: they are screened to exclude chronic kidney disease, frequently biopsied, and have extensive follow-up. We used histopathology and microarrays to compare indication biopsies from 28 transplants with AKI to 11 pristine protocol biopsies of stable transplants. Kidneys with AKI showed increased expression of 394 injury-repair response associated transcripts, including many known epithelial injury molecules (e.g. ITGB6, LCN2), tissue remodeling molecules (e.g. VCAN), and inflammation molecules (S100A8, ITGB3). Many other genes also predict the phenotype, depending on statistical filtering rules, including AKI biomarkers as HAVCR1 and IL18. Most mouse orthologs of the top injury-repair transcripts were increased in published mouse AKI models. Pathway analysis of the injury-repair transcripts revealed similarities to cancer, development, and cell movement. The injury-repair transcript score AKI kidneys correlated with reduced function, future recovery, brain death, and need for dialysis, but not future graft loss. In contrast, histologic features of "acute tubular injury" did not correlate with function or with the molecular changes. Thus the injury-repair associated transcripts represent a massive coordinate injury-repair response of kidney parenchyma to AKI, similar to mouse AKI models, and provide an objective measure for assessing the severity of AKI in kidney biopsies and validation for the use of many AKI biomarkers. AKI biopsies sample names and CEL files are from GSE21374. All consenting renal transplant patients undergoing biopsies for cause as standard of care between 09/2004 and 10/2007 at the university of Alberta or between 11/2006 and 02/2007 at the University of Illinois were included in the analysis. In addition to the cores required for standard histopathology, we collected one core for gene expression studies. the relationship between gene expression in the biopsy and subsequent graft loss was analyzed. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:ImportanceA breast pathology diagnosis provides the basis for clinical treatment and management decisions; however, its accuracy is inadequately understood.ObjectivesTo quantify the magnitude of diagnostic disagreement among pathologists compared with a consensus panel reference diagnosis and to evaluate associated patient and pathologist characteristics.Design, setting, and participantsStudy of pathologists who interpret breast biopsies in clinical practices in 8 US states.ExposuresParticipants independently interpreted slides between November 2011 and May 2014 from test sets of 60 breast biopsies (240 total cases, 1 slide per case), including 23 cases of invasive breast cancer, 73 ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), 72 with atypical hyperplasia (atypia), and 72 benign cases without atypia. Participants were blinded to the interpretations of other study pathologists and consensus panel members. Among the 3 consensus panel members, unanimous agreement of their independent diagnoses was 75%, and concordance with the consensus-derived reference diagnoses was 90.3%.Main outcomes and measuresThe proportions of diagnoses overinterpreted and underinterpreted relative to the consensus-derived reference diagnoses were assessed.ResultsSixty-five percent of invited, responding pathologists were eligible and consented to participate. Of these, 91% (N = 115) completed the study, providing 6900 individual case diagnoses. Compared with the consensus-derived reference diagnosis, the overall concordance rate of diagnostic interpretations of participating pathologists was 75.3% (95% CI, 73.4%-77.0%; 5194 of 6900 interpretations). Among invasive carcinoma cases (663 interpretations), 96% (95% CI, 94%-97%) were concordant, and 4% (95% CI, 3%-6%) were underinterpreted; among DCIS cases (2097 interpretations), 84% (95% CI, 82%-86%) were concordant, 3% (95% CI, 2%-4%) were overinterpreted, and 13% (95% CI, 12%-15%) were underinterpreted; among atypia cases (2070 interpretations), 48% (95% CI, 44%-52%) were concordant, 17% (95% CI, 15%-21%) were overinterpreted, and 35% (95% CI, 31%-39%) were underinterpreted; and among benign cases without atypia (2070 interpretations), 87% (95% CI, 85%-89%) were concordant and 13% (95% CI, 11%-15%) were overinterpreted. Disagreement with the reference diagnosis was statistically significantly higher among biopsies from women with higher (n = 122) vs lower (n = 118) breast density on prior mammograms (overall concordance rate, 73% [95% CI, 71%-75%] for higher vs 77% [95% CI, 75%-80%] for lower, P < .001), and among pathologists who interpreted lower weekly case volumes (P < .001) or worked in smaller practices (P = .034) or nonacademic settings (P = .007).Conclusions and relevanceIn this study of pathologists, in which diagnostic interpretation was based on a single breast biopsy slide, overall agreement between the individual pathologists' interpretations and the expert consensus-derived reference diagnoses was 75.3%, with the highest level of concordance for invasive carcinoma and lower levels of concordance for DCIS and atypia. Further research is needed to understand the relationship of these findings with patient management.

Project description:BackgroundEndocytoscopy (ECS) provides a magnification of approximately 450× for real-time observation of lesion nuclei. Using ECS, we aimed to evaluate whether sufficient samples for diagnosis can be obtained during bronchoscopy. We also investigated whether ECS can enable two-class diagnosis of malignant or non-malignant transbronchial biopsy specimens in real-time during bronchoscopy.MethodsThis was a single-facility, prospective, observational, ex vivo study. Forty cases with localized peripheral pulmonary lesions underwent transbronchial biopsy with endobronchial ultrasonography using a guide sheath. Each biopsy specimen was immediately observed and evaluated endocytoscopically after the collection by the bronchoscopic procedure.ResultsThirty-seven cases were enrolled. The diagnostic accuracy achieved by ECS was 91.9% (34/37). The agreement rate between the endocytoscopic evaluation and pathological diagnosis of each specimen (170 specimens) was 65.3% (111/170). The median time required for endocytoscopic evaluation per specimen was 70 s. When we judged a specimen to be malignant a second time on ECS evaluations of five specimens in one case, pathologically malignant specimens were collected in 26 of 27 cases (96.3%).ConclusionsECS with methylene blue staining may aid in the two-class diagnosis of malignant or non-malignant transbronchial biopsy specimens during bronchoscopy. This may reduce the number of tissue biopsies.
