Project description:Kidney damage involves the progressive and inexorable destruction of tubular and glomerular system. However, it is known that the patients survive AKI often recover renal structure and function. Correspondingly, previous studies demonstrated tubular regeneration in mice after massive kidney injury and linked mouse Sox9+ renal progenitor cells to this process. Here we show that renal progenitor cells can be cloned from renal needle biopsy sample of CKD patients. Progenitor cells can readily assembly into “kidney organoids” expressing proximal/distal tubular cell markers in 3D culture.

Project description:Renal endothelial cells (RECs) from glomerular cortical and medullary kidney compartments are exposed to different microenvironmental conditions. Upon dehydration medullary RECs (mRECs) are exposed to extreme hyperosmolarity. However the heterogeneous phenotypes of RECs remain in-completely inventoried and how mRECs respond to dehydration is unknown. By single cell RNA-sequencing of >40000 RECs we identified 24 (including 8 novel) REC phenotypes highlighting extensive heterogeneity of RECs between and within the cortex glomeruli and medulla. In response to dehydration mRECs upregulated primarily the expression of genes involved in the hypoxia response glycolysis and surprisingly oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). In vitro mRECs increased oxygen consumption in response to hyperosmolarity presumably to sustain ATP production for Na+/K+ ATPase pump-mediated salt excretion and to generate metabolic water during OXPHOS in order to counteract mREC hyperosmolarity unveiling a previously underappreciated role of OXPHOS. Overall RECs exhibit extensive heterogeneity and plasticity to adapt their metabolic transcriptome to overcome dehydration.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) have been thought to be reversible condition, however, emerging evidence demonstrated association between AKI and subsequent development of irreversible fibrosis and chronic kidney disease. In the present study, since recovery of AKI depends on renal tubular regeneration, factors expressing in renal tubules in adaptive or maladaptive repair process were investigated to predict reversibility of kidney injury. In the kidney of female F344 rats subjected to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), regenerative tubules and dilated tubules were observed at 3 and 7 days after I/R. In fibrotic areas of the kidney of male SD rats subjected to I/R, renal tubules were dilated or atrophied. From microarray data of regenerative tubules, survivin, sex-determining region Y (SRY)-box 9 (SOX9), and CD44 were extracted as factors possibly relating to tubular regeneration or fibrosis. Immunohistochmical analysis demonstrated that survivin and SOX9 expressed in regenerative tubules, while SOX9 also expressed in renal tubules in fibrotic area, indicating that survivin and SOX9 contribute renal tubular regeneration, but sustained SOX9 expression may lead fibrosis. CD44 expressed in dilated tubules at day 3 and 7, and tubules in fibrotic area, suggesting that CD44 expressed in maladaptive tubules. These information will be helpful to consider reversibility of kidney injury.

Project description:The Role of SOX9 in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injuried mice primary renal tubular epithelial cells Purpose: we performed comparative RNA-seq analyses to identify differentially expressed genes between Knockdown of Sox9 and negtive control in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injuried mice primary renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods:we grew mouse primary renal tubular epithelial cells to approximately 50% confluence, transfected using EndoFectin™ Max (GeneCopoeia, China) 12h before suffering to H/R injury. H/R was used to mimic IRI in vitro. Briefly, cells were incubated in glucose-free medium in a tri-gas incubator (94% N2, 5% CO2 and 1.0% O2) at 37 °C for 6 hours. Subsequently, cells were incubated in complete medium under normal conditions for 18 hours for reoxygenation. Cells were then collected by 1ml TRIzol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad), and sent to Annoroad Corporation (Beijing, China) for high throughout Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing (GPL24247) (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Results: To determine the possible pathways of Sox9 in protecting mice primary renal tubular epithelial cells from injury, we conduct the transcriptomotic sequencing. After sequence, the clean reads rate of all samples were ≥98%.The quality of the assembled transcriptome is good enough for functional annotation and further analysis. Conclusions: We performed RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) on isolated mouse renal tubular epithelial cells of two groups, treated with H/R and transfected with siNC (H/R+siNC group) or siSox9 (H/R+siSox9 group). SOX9-responsive genes showed significant enrichment of the WNT signaling pathway in primary tubular epithelial cells.

Project description:Purpose: Effective target therapies for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma have not been identified so far. One of the reasons may be the molecular and genomic alteration difference between paired primary (PR) and recurrent (REC) tumors. We aim to identify peculiar characteristics and to select potential targets specific for recurrent tumors. Experimental design: Thirteen ICC pairs from Italian patients were collected and analyzed for gene expression profiling and mutational status of IDH1. For two pairs, deep mutational analysis by Next Generation Sequencing was also carried out. An independent cohort of patients was used for validation. Results: Two class paired comparison yielded 315 differentially expressed genes between REC and PR tumors. Up-regulated genes in RECs are involved in RNA/DNA processing, cell cycle, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), resistance to apoptosis, and cytoskeleton remodeling. Down-regulated genes participate to epithelial cell differentiation, proteolysis, apoptotic, immune response, and inflammatory processes. A 24 gene signature is able to discriminate RECs from PRs, and 9 genes predict recurrence in an independent cohort; FANCG is statistically associated with survival in the chol-TCGA dataset. IDH1 was mutated in the RECs of three patients. In the independent cohort, 2 out of 5 patients displayed the IDH1 mutation only in RECs. Deep sequencing revealed TP53, ASXL1, PTEN and DICER1 novel mutations. Conclusions: RECs displayed more aggressive phenotype; EMT, resistance to apoptosis, and cytoskeleton remodeling were key players and druggable pathways in REC. IDH1 is mutated in about 30% of patients, becoming a marker of progression and a target for therapy.

Project description:Here we show that estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ) is an essential transcriptional coordinator of both renal mitochondrial and reabsorptive functions. ERRγ is highly and specifically expressed in the RECs, and its expression correlates with kidney function in humans. We generated REC-ERRγ KO mice which developed severe renal mitochondrial and reabsorptive dysfunction and fluid-filled cysts. Transcriptome and cistrome analysis revealed that ERRγ directly regulates mitochondrial metabolism and renal reabsorption. ChIP-reChIP-Seq studies further suggest that ERRγ employs a distinct mechanism to regulate renal reabsorption genes through functional cooperation with hepatic nuclear factor 1 beta (HNF1β), mutations of which cause strikingly similar renal dysfunction and cysts in humans and animals. Together these findings reveal a novel role for ERRγ in simultaneously coordinating a transcriptional program for renal energy production via mitochondria and energy consumption to perform reabsorptive functions required for normal kidney function

Project description:Mammalian kidney has very limited ability to repair or regenerate after acute kidney injury (AKI). The maladaptive repair of AKI promotes the progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, it is extremely urgent to explore new strategies to promote the repair/regeneration of injured renal tubules after AKI. It has been shown that hypoxia induces heart regeneration in adult mice. However, it is unknown whether hypoxia can induce kidney regeneration after AKI. In this study, we used a prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibitor (PHDI), MK-8617, to mimic hypoxia condition and found that MK-8617 significantly ameliorates ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) induced acute kidney injury. We then showed that MK-8617 dramatically facilitates renal regeneration via promoting the proliferation of injured renal proximal tubular cells (RPTCs) after IRI-induced AKI. We then performed bulk mRNA sequencing and discovered that multiple nephrogenesis- related genes were significantly upregulated with MK-8617 pretreatment. Furthermore, we showed that MK-8617 may alleviate proximal tubule injury via stabilizing HIF-1α protein specifically in renal proximal tubular cells. We also demonstrated that MK-8617 promotes the reprogramming of renal proximal tubular cells to Sox9+ renal progenitor cells, and the regeneration of renal proximal tubules. In summary, we discovered that inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase improves renal proximal tubule regeneration after IRI-induced AKI via promoting the reprogramming of renal proximal tubular cells to Sox9+ renal progenitor cells.
