Project description:Our previous study has showed Ten-eleven translocation (Tet2) gene expression as well as the global 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) level were reduced significantly in mouse kidney insulted by ischemia reperfusion (IR). Here, we investigate the functional role of Tet2 in renal IR injury. We constructed renal IR injury model in wild type and Tet2 knockout (KO) mice. Serum creatinine (SCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were examined to evaluate renal function. HE staining and renal injury biomarkers were tested to confirm the degree of injury. Microarray analysis of mRNA expression levels was carried out to gain mechanistic insightinto the role of Tet2. We used microarrays to profile the transcriptomes of the kidneys from wildtype and Tet2 KO mice.

Project description:Ten-Elven Translocation (TET) proteins oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytonsie (5hmC). Our recent work found a decline in global 5hmC level in mouse kidney insulted by ischemia reperfusion (IR). However, the genomic distribution of 5hmC in mouse kidney and its relationship with gene expression remain elusive. Here, we profiled the DNA hydroxymethylome of mouse kidney by hMeDIP-seq and revealed that 5hmC is enriched in genic regions but depleted from intergenic regions. Correlation analyses showed that 5hmC enrichment in gene body is positively associated with gene expression level in mouse kidney. Moreover, IR injury-associated genes (both up- and down-regulated genes during renal IR injury) in mouse kidney exhibit significantly higher 5hmC enrichment in their gene body regions when compared to those un-changed genes. Collectively, our study not only provides the first DNA hydroxmethylome of kidney tissues but also suggests that DNA hyper-hydroxymethylation in gene body may be a novel epigenetic mark of IR injury-associated genes.

Project description:Backgroud: among strategies to limit ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injuries in transplantation, cell therapy using stem cells to condition/repair transplanted organ appears promising. We hypothesized that using a cell therapy based on exosomes derived from Urine Progenitor Cells (UPCs) during hypothermic and normothermic machine perfusion can prevent IR-related kidney damages. Methods: we isolated and characterized porcine UPCs and their exosomes (Exo). Then these were used in an ex vivo preclinical porcine kidney preservation model. Kidneys were subjected to warm ischemia (32min) then preserved by Hypothermic Machine Perfusion (HMP) for 24h before 5h of Normothermic Machine Perfusion (NMP). Three groups were performed (n=5-6): Group 1 (G1): HMP/vehicle + NMP/vehicle, Group 2 (G2): HMP/Exo + NMP/vehicle, Group 3 (G3): HMP/Exo + NMP/Exo. Results: porcine UPCs were successfully isolated from urine and fully characterized as well as their exosomes which were found of expected size/phenotype. RNA-seq performed on kidney biopsies showed different profiles between G1 and G3 with regulation of potential IR targets of Exo therapy. Conclusions: we showed the feasibility/efficacy of UPC-exosomes for hypothermic/normothermic kidney conditioning prior to transplantation, paving the way of combining machine perfusion with exosome-based cell therapy for organ conditioning.

Project description:Purpose: The different ischemic time of Ischemia-reperfusion-injury (IRI) mouse models resulted in different outcomes, severe IRI led to chronic kidney disease, while mild IRI led to the recovery of kidneys. We isolated tubules from mice from each group. The goals of this study are to compare differentially expressed mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs among severe IRI-injured tubules, mild IRI-injuried tubules and control mouse tubules.

Project description:Introduction: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) causes acute kidney injury (AKI) with high mortality and morbidity. The objective of this study was to ameliorate kidney IR injury and identify novel biomarkers for kidney injury and repair. Methods: Left renal ischemia was induced in rats by clamping renal artery for 45 minutes, followed by reperfusion and right nephrectomy. Thirty minutes prior to ischemia, rats (n=8/group) received Valproic Acid (150 mg/kg; VPA), Dexamethasone (3 mg/kg; Dex) or Vehicle (Saline) intraperitoneally. Animals were sacrificed at 3h, 24h or 120h post- IR and blood, urine and kidney were collected. Results: Serum creatinine (mg/dL) at 24 h IR in VPA (2.7±1.8) and Dex (2.3±1.2) was reduced (P<0.05) compared to Vehicle (3.8±0.5). At 3h post-IR, urine albumin (mg/ml) was higher in Vehicle (1.47±0.10), VPA (0.84±0.62) and Dex (1.04±0.73) compared to uninjured/untreated control (0.14±0.26) group. At 24h post-IR urine Lipocalin-2 (µg/ml) was significantly higher (P<0.05) in VPA, Dex and Vehicle groups (9.61-11.36) compared to uninjured/untreated control (0.67±o.29); also, Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1; ng/ml) was significantly higher in VPA, Dex and Vehicle groups (13.7-18.7) compared uninjured/untreated control (1.7±1.9). KIM-1 levels were significantly (P<0.05) higher in all groups compared to uninjured/untreated control levels. Histopathology at 3h post IR demonstrated (P<0.05) reduction in ischemic injury in the renal cortex in VPA (Grade 1.6± 1.5) compared to Vehicle (Grade 2.9±1.1) group. Inflammatory cytokines IL1β and IL6 were down-regulated in VPA and Dex groups. BCL2 was higher in VPA group. DNA microarray analysis demonstrated reduced stress response and injury, and improved recovery related gene expression in the kidneys of VPA treated animals. Conclusions: VPA administration reduced kidney IR injury and improved regeneration. KIM-1 and Lipocalin-2 appear to be promising early urine biomarkers of acute ischemic kidney injury. We had three experimental groups. Group A, VPA treatment; Group B, Dexamethasone treatment; and Group C, No treatment (vehicle saline control). Treatments were administered prior to the induction of left renal ischemia. Animals underwent 45 minutes of left renal ischemia, followed by reperfusion, and right nephrectomy as described above. Following reperfusion, animals were sacrificed at 3, 24 or 120 hours (n=8/group). In the 3 hour group, rats were maintained under anesthesia after surgery until sacrifice. In the 24 and 120 hour groups, the rats were recovered and returned to the cages for normal housing. Analgesic buprenorphine (0.05mg/kg) was administered every 12 h for three days post-operatively. After animal sacrifice, urine, blood, and kidney were collected for kidney functional biomarker assays, histology and / or molecular analyses. Urine was obtained via cystocentesis and blood was obtained via the left renal vein. Tissue and urine samples collected from normal (naïve) animals (n=5) were used for baseline measurements. A subset of 46 animals (n = 4-5 per group) were selected for microarray analysis.

Project description:Preconditioning strategies like caloric restriction (CR) and hypoxic preconditioning (HP) show remarkable protective effects in animal models of acute kidney injury (AKI). Since the underlying molecular effects are still not fully understood we performed an experiment directly comparing CR and HP in a murine model of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of the kidney. 8 to 12-week-old, male C57BL6/J mice were either put to 4 weeks of caloric restriction (70% of normal food intake) or placed in a hypoxic chamber (8%O2) for 3 consecutive days prior to IRI. Whole kidneys were used for transcriptional analysis (RNAseq) before and after ischemia-reperfusion injury to look for common effects of both modes of preconditioning.

Project description:Fibroblasts are present in every organ. While the role fibroblasts in chronic diseases such as fibrosis or tumor expression has been extensively explored, little is known about their physiological role. The kidney possesses a unique capacity to recover from even severe acute injury. We study molecular mechanisms of this intrinsic repair capacity in the mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion (IR). In this model, the renal artery and vein are clamped for 45 min, leading to acute kidney injury. The kidney spontaneously recovers from such IR injury within 14 days. IR kidney injury is associated with a transient accumulation of fibroblasts in the diseased tissue. We hypothesized that fibroblasts aid the repair of acute IR injury in the kidney. To elucidate how FSP1+ fibroblasts may contribute to the repair of kidney injury, we undertook a global unbiased approach to compare gene expression profiles of fibroblasts isolated from kidneys post-IRI and from control kidneys by FACS sorting. To investigate the role fibroblasts may play in the repair of kidney inhury, we performed ischemia reperfusion injury surgery on transgenic mice in which the FSP-1 promoter drives EGFP expression. Kidney injury peaks at day 3 post-IRI, followed by spontaneous regeration that restores nearly perfect kidney architecture and health by day 10. Fibroblasts are thought to possibly play a role in this process, as they are normally rare in the healthy kidney, acute kidney injury is associated with a transient accumulation of interstitial fibroblasts, but whether they may help repair the acute kidney injury or in fact could contribute to the damage is not known. To compare the gene expression profiles of normal fibroblasts and those from post-ischemic kidneys, we sacrificed control FSP1-GFP mice and the FSP1-GFP mice three days post-IRI. We generated single-cell suspensions from both the post-IRI and control kidneys, and then isolated FSP1-GFP+ cells by FACS sorting that, when cultured on plastic, displayed typical fibroblast morphology. Total RNA was immediately extracted from the sorted cells and amplified to produce enough for a array. We biotinylated five of the samples from post-ischemic kidneys and three of the control (non-ischemic) kidneys and used Affymetrix 3' Arrays to examine differences in gene expression profiles between the two groups that may she some light on what role, if any, fibroblasts play in the spontaneous healing of the kidney after acute kidney injury. We performed ischemia reperfusion surgery in FSP1-GFP mice, and at day 3, we sacrificed the mice, isolated FSP1-GFP positive cells from both IR and normal control kidneys by FACS sorting, extracted total RNA from the isolated FSP1-GFP cells and used Affymetrix Mouse Expression Array 430 2.0 microarrays to perform gene expression profiling of the samples. All told, we performed the FACS Sorting, RNA extration, and hybridization with 5 ischemic kidneys and 3 normal kidneys.
