Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major health issue, the outcome of which depends primarily on damage and reparative processes of tubular epithelial cells (TEC). Mechanisms underlying AKI remain incompletely understood, specific therapies are lacking and monitoring the course of AKI in clinical routine is confined to measuring urine output and plasma levels of filtration markers. Here we demonstrate feasibility and potential of a novel approach to assess the cellular and molecular dynamics of AKI by establishing a robust urine-to-single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) pipeline for excreted kidney cells via flow cytometry sorting. We analyzed 42,608 single cell transcriptomes of 40 urine samples from 32 AKI patients and compared our data with reference material from human AKI post-mortem biopsies and published mouse data. We demonstrate that TEC transcriptomes mirror intrarenal pathology and reflect distinct injury and repair processes, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and tissue rearrangement. In conclusion, single cell transcriptomics of kidney cells excreted in urine provides non-invasive, unprecedented insight into cellular processes underlying AKI, thereby opening novel opportunities for target identification, AKI sub-categorization and monitoring of natural disease course and interventions.

Project description:Podocytes form filtration barrier through foot process around glomerualar basement membrane and selectively permit permeability of molecular smaller than albumin. Diabetes can cause podocyte pathological changes leading to high urine albumin level. Diabetic mouse model OVE26 has extremly high urine albumin and previously studies indicated its podocyte damaged. Here we try to find the key genes change in OVE26 diabetic mouse model podocyte by microarray assay while normal FVB mouse podocyte set as control. Podocyte eGFP transgenic mice were made on FVB background and crossbred to OVE26 diabetic model. Glomeruli isolated from OVE-GFP mice were digested by trypsin into signal cell. Podocytes with GFP were sorting out by FACS.

Project description:The enteric bacterium Proteus mirabilis is a common cause of complicated urinary tract infections. In the study, microrarrays were used to analyze P. mirabilis gene expression in vivo from experimentally infected mice. Urine was collected at 1, 3, and 7d postinfection, and RNA was isolated from bacteria in the urine for transcriptional analysis. Across 9 microarrays, 471 genes were upregulated and 82 were downregulated in vivo compared to in vitro broth culture. Genes upregulated in vivo encoded MR/P fimbriae, urease, iron uptake systems, amino acid and peptide transporters, pyruvate metabolism, and portions of the TCA cycle. Flagella were downregulated. Ammonia assimilation gene glnA (glutamine synthetase) was repressed in vivo while gdhA (glutamate dehydrogenase) was upregulated in vivo. Contrary to our expectations, ammonia availability due to urease activity in P. mirabilis did not drive this gene expression. A gdhA mutant was growth-deficient in minimal medium with citrate as the sole carbon source, and loss of gdhA resulted in a significant fitness defect in the mouse model of urinary tract infection. Unlike Escherichia coli, which represses gdhA and upregulates glnA in vivo and cannot utilize citrate, the data suggest that P. mirabilis uses glutamate dehydrogenase to monitor carbon-nitrogen balance, and this ability contributes to the pathogenic potential of P. mirabilis in the urinary tract. Voided urine from female CBA/J mice infected with Proteus mirabilis was collected and pooled in RNA stabilizing reagent (RNAprotect). Urine was collected at 1, 3, and 7 d postinfection. RNA was isolated from urine and log-phase LB cultures, converted to cDNA, and labeled with CyDye. Three arrays were completed per time point (9 arrays total). Slides were scanned with a ScanArray Express microarray scanner (Perkin Elmer) at 10 μm resolution and quantified using ScanArray Express software. Resulting data were normalized by total intensity and median spot intensities were identified using MIDAS (v. 2.22) software.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of intact O- and N-glycopeptides in profiles of normal human urine analyzed by capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry (CE-MS).CE and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (CE- and LC-MS/MS) were both used to identify glycopeptide sequences. Furthermore, we estimated the abundance levels of these glycopeptides in urine from five different cancer types i.e. bladder cancer (BCa), prostate cancer (PCa), pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma (CC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

Project description:Currently, the majority of patients diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) present with locally invasive and/or metastatic disease, resulting in five-year survival of less than 5%. The development of an early diagnostic test is, therefore, expected to significantly impact the patient’s prognosis. In this feasibility study, we demonstrate for the first time the utility of miRNA biomarkers for non-invasive, early detection of PDAC in urine specimens.

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent cancer types in men worldwide. However, the main diagnostic tests available for PCa have limitations and need biopsy for histopathological confirmation of the disease. The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the main biomarker used for PCa early detection, but an elevated serum concentration is not cancer-specific. Therefore, there is a need for discovery of new non-invasive biomarkers that can accurately diagnose PCa. Here, we used trichloroacetic acid-induced protein precipitation and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to profile endogenous peptides in urine samples from patients with PCa (n = 33), benign prostatic hyperplasia (n = 25), and healthy individuals (n = 28). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were performed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of urinary peptides. In addition, proteasix tool was used for in silico prediction of protease cleavage sites. We found five urinary peptides derived from uromodulin significantly altered between the study groups, all of which were less abundant in the PCa group. In addition, urinary peptides outperformed PSA in discriminating between malignant and benign prostate conditions (AUC = 0.847), showing high sensitivity (81.82%) and specificity (88%). Overall, our study allowed the identification of urinary peptides with potential for use as non-invasive biomarkers in PCa diagnosis.

Project description:Alport syndrome (AS) is a genetic defect involving mutations of collagen IV α3, α4 or α5 genes, resulting in distinctive clinical features: kidney disease, hearing loss and eye abnormalities. Podocytes are responsible of production and correct assembly of the collagen IV isoforms, however, specific alterations of podocyte phenotype are currently scarce. We here generated immortalised AS urine-derived podocyte from three different patients. AS podocytes expressed a typical podocyte signature when compared to normal urine-derived podocytes, with comparable expression of podocyte markers. Each AS cell line showed a collagen IV profile that reflected the typical patient mutation. Furthermore, by RNA-sequencing 348 genes were found differentially expressed in Alport podocytes. Gene Ontology analysis underlined enrichment in genes involved in cell motility, adhesion, survival and angiogenesis. In parallel, AS podocyte motility was reduced. In conclusion, our data clearly indicate that AS podocytes display altered features connected but distinct from the collagen alterations.

Project description:The LC-MS study was carried out to identify the proteins in urine samples of clinical cases of diabetic nephropathy (Healthy control, Diabetic group, Microalbuminuria, Overt albuminuria group).
Study design
The urine samples (10 ml) of patients with HbA1c greater than 6.5 percent were collected in a sterile container from the endocrinology OPD, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India, after obtaining informed consent. The study was carried out following the Helsinki Declaration. The Institute Ethics Committee approved the study protocol via (IEC) vide No INT/IEC/2020/SPL-1031.
The spot dipstick method was used to screen urine samples for the presence of blood (haematuria) and pus cells (leucocytes). Samples showing the presence of both blood and leucocytes were further excluded from the study. After screening, 90 patient samples (30 diabetic controls, 30 microalbuminuria, and 30 overt albuminuria) were included in the study. For control, urine samples of 30 healthy controls were also included in the study.
The albumin excretion rate parameters (Albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR)) was measured in Alere Afinion TM AS100 Analyser with ACR test kits. The ACR was expressed in mg per gram. Based on the obtained ACR, the patient groups were categorized following criteria as detailed under inclusion criteria. The inclusion and exclusion criteria are mentioned below.
Inclusion criteria
Microalbuminuria (meant as diabetic microalbuminuria)- Established case of Diabetes Mellitus with glycated hemoglobin more than or equal to 6.5 percent and urinary albumin excretion rate 30 to 300 mg per gram of creatinine in a spot urine sample.
Overt albuminuria (meant as diabetic overt albuminuria): Established case of Diabetes Mellitus with glycated hemoglobin more than or equal to 6.5 percent and urinary albumin concentration more than or equal to 300 mg per gram of creatinine in a spot urine sample.
Diabetic Control- Established case of diabetes mellitus with glycated hemoglobin more than or equal to 6.5 percent and urinary albumin excretion rate of less than 30 mg per gram of creatinine in a spot urine.
Exclusion criteria
Patients with any evidence of urine tract infection or haematuria by dipstick test.
Separation of urinary proteins
The urinary proteins are separated from the urine matrix through centrifugation (15000 g for 1 hour at 4 degrees Celsius. The pellet obtained was expected to contain the proteins. For this, a 2 ml urine sample was subjected to centrifugation for each participant. After centrifugation (1ml in different aliquots), 2 pellets from the same sample were obtained. The pellets were suspended in PB (200 microlitres, pH 7.38, 0.1 M) and mixed well with a vortex. The pellets obtained from the same group were pooled. A similar treatment was provided to all the samples to obtain pellets. Protein quantification was done using the BCA method.
LC-MS protocol: For this, 100 micrograms of urinary protein in 10 mM Tris HCl buffer, pH 7.38 was denatured by boiling with 10 mM dithiothreitol for 10 mins followed by the addition of Iodoacetamide (90 mM, SIGMA) and incubation for 30 mins in the dark at 37 degrees Celsius. These were then subjected to trypsin digestion (2 micrograms, Promega, MS grade, prepared in acetic acid) and kept overnight at 37 degrees Celsius. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 1 percent trifluoroacetic acid (TCI, LC-MS grade). The sample clean-up with C18 resins column was performed and the aliquots were then sent for data acquisition (PMID 39216816).
