Glomerular microRNA data of the kidney podocyte-specific cyclin-G associated kinase (Gak) deficient mice

ABSTRACT: Evidence for reduced expression of cyclin-G associated kinase (GAK) in glomeruli of chronic kidney disease patients was observed in the Nephroseq human database and was found to be associated with the decline in kidney function. To examine the role of GAK, a protein that functions to uncoat clathrin during endocytosis, we generated podocyte-specific Gak knockout mice (Gak KO) which developed progressive proteinuria and kidney failure with global glomerulosclerosis. We isolated glomeruli from the mutant mice to perform messenger RNA profiling and unearthed evidence for dysregulated podocyte calpain protease activity as an important contributor to this process. Treatment with calpain inhibitor III specifically inhibited calpain-1/-2 activities, mitigated the degree of proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis, and led to a striking increase in survival in the Gak KO mice. Podocyte-specific deletion of Capns1, essential for calpain-1 and calpain-2 activities, also improved proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis in Gak KO mice. Increased podocyte calpain activity mediated proteolysis of IkB resulted in increased NF-kBp65 induced Gadd45b expression in the Gak KO mice. Our results suggest that loss of podocyte associated Gak induces glomerular injury secondary to calcium dysregulation and aberrant calpain activation, which when inhibited, can provide a protective role.

RNA-seq analysis using glomeruli isolated from control and podocyte-specific bPIX deficient mice

Project description:We found that podocyte-specific bPIX deficient (KO) mice developed progressive proteinuria starting at ~8 weeks of age, and glomerulosclerosis and podocyte loss by 13 weeks of age. To investigate the mechanism of podocyte loss induced by bPIX deficiency, we analyzed mRNA expression by RNA-sequence using isolated glomeruli from control (CTRL) and KO mice.

Human iPSC-derived glomeruli provide an advanced model to interrogate podocyte biology and accurately recapitulate podocytopathy

Project description:Podocytes are highly specialised cells within the glomeruli of the kidney that maintain the filtration barrier by forming interdigitating foot processes and slit-diaphragms. Disruption to these features result in proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis. Studies into podocyte biology and disease have previously relied on conditionally immortalised cell lines due to the non- proliferative nature of this cell type. Here we describe an advanced model to study both podocyte and glomerular biology using isolated glomeruli from kidney organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells.

Comparative protein profiling of wild type and ILDR2 knockout podocytes

Project description:The role of ILDR2 in podocytes, specialized epithelial cells in the kidney, is still unknown. We investigated the role of ILDR2 in glomeruli and its influence on blood filtration. Ildr2 knockout mice exhibited glomerular hypertrophy and decreased podocyte density, however, did not develop effacement of podocyte foot processes or proteinuria. LC-MS/MS proteomic analysis of isolated glomeruli showed an increase in matrix proteins such as fibronectin and agrin. This suggests a protective role of ILDR2 in glomerulopathies.

Podocyte-specific deletion of tubular sclerosis complex 2 causes focal segmental glomerular sclerosis and progressive renal failure

Project description:Obesity can initiate and accelerate the progression of kidney diseases. However, it remains unclear how obesity affects renal dysfunction. Here, we show that a newly generated podocyte-specific tubular sclerosis complex 2 (Tsc2) knockout mouse model (Tsc2∆podocyte) develops proteinuria and dies due to end-stage renal dysfunction by 10 weeks of age. Tsc2∆podocyte mice exhibit an increased glomerular size and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, including podocyte foot process effacement, mesangial sclerosis and proteinaceous casts. Podocytes isolated from Tsc2∆podocyte mice show nuclear factor, erythroid derived 2, like 2-mediated increased oxidative stress response on microarray analysis and their autophagic activity is lowered through the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)—unc-51-like kinase 1 pathway. Rapamycin attenuated podocyte dysfunction and extends survival in Tsc2∆podocyte mice. Additionally, mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) activity is increased in podocytes of renal biopsy specimens obtained from obese patients with chronic kidney disease. Our work shows that mTORC1 hyperactivation in podocytes leads to severe renal dysfunction and that inhibition of mTORC1 activity in podocytes could be a key therapeutic target for obesity-related kidney diseases.

Human iPSC derived glomeruli facilitate accurate modelling of podocytopathy

Project description:Podocytes are the highly specialised cells within the glomeruli of the kidney that maintain the filtration barrier by forming interdigitating foot processes and slit-diaphragms. Disruption to these features result in proteinuria. Studies into podocyte biology and disease has been hampered by a paucity of in vitro models of this non-proliferative cell type. Here we characterise sieved glomeruli from kidney organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells. Compared to conditionally immortalised podocytes, organoid-derived glomeruli show superior podocyte-specific gene and protein expression, morphology and functional properties. Using CRISPR-derived MAFB reporter iPSC lines, homozygous MAFB mutant organoids recapitulated the anticipated disease related transcriptional changes. Culture of kidney organoids on chicken chorioallantoic membrane resulted in glomerular vascularisation, glomerular filtration barrier assembly, formation of slit diaphragms and fenestrated endothelial cells. This definitively demonstrates that human iPSC kidney organoid-derived glomeruli can serve as an accurate model of human podocytopathies and glomerular disease in vitro.

SMPDL3b in Podocytes: Decoupling Proteinuria from CKD Progression in Experimental Alport Syndrome

Project description:Alport Syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disease with impaired production of collagen type IV alpha 3, 4 and 5 chains in the glomerular basement membranes (GBM), which results amongst others in progressive loss of kidney function. In AS, abnormalities in the GBM and associated podocyte detachment may potentially result from the dysregulation of sphingolipid metabolism. Here we investigated whether renal sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase acid-like 3b (SMPDL3b) overexpression modulates the generation of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and contributes to renal failure in Col4a3 knockout mice, a mouse model of AS. We found a 3-fold increase in SMPDL3b expression in glomeruli and murine podocytes isolated from Col4a3 knockout mice. Increased SMPDL3b expression occurred in association with increased glomerular S1P levels, while podocyte specific Smpdl3b deletion in Col4a3 knockout mice was sufficient to restore S1P levels and to reduce proteinuria and podocyte foot process but not sufficient to protect from renal failure. Thus, podocyte S1P may be a key modulator of proteinuria and podocyte integrity in AS. Our study in experimental AS suggests that SMPDL3b-derived S1P may dissociate proteinuria from renal failure, and suggests that improvement of glomerular structure and function may not always translate in protection from CKD progression in AS.

Comparison of Glomerular and Podocyte mRNA Profiles in eNOS-/- Diabetic Mice Induced by Streptozotocin

Project description:We compared mRNA profiles of isolated glomeruli versus sorted podocytes between diabetic and control mice. IRG mice crossed with eNOS-/- mice were further bred with podocin-rTTA and TetON-Cre mice to permanently label podocytes before the diabetic injury. Diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin. mRNA profiles of isolated glomeruli and sorted podocytes from diabetic and control mice at 10 weeks after induction of diabetes were examined. Consistent with the previous reports, expression of podocyte-specific markers in the glomeruli were down-regulated in the diabetic mice compared to controls. However, these differences disappeared when mRNA levels were corrected for podocyte number per glomerulus. Interestingly, the expression of these markers was not altered in sorted podocytes from diabetic mice, suggesting that the reduced expression of podocyte markers in isolated glomeruli is likely a secondary effect of reduced podocyte number, rather than the loss of differentiation markers. Analysis of the differentially expressed genes in diabetic mice also revealed distinct up-regulated pathways in the glomeruli (mitochondrial function and oxidative stress) and podocytes (actin organization). In conclusion, our data suggest that podocyte-specific gene expression in transcriptome obtained from the whole glomeruli may not represent those of podocytes in the diabetic kidney. We compared mRNA profiles of isolated glomeruli versus sorted podocytes between diabetic and control mice.

Gene expression of wild-type or GC-A knockout mouse glomeruli treated with high salt diet and aldosterone infusion after uninephrectomy.

Project description:Podocytes are integral to maintaining the glomerular filtration barrier and preventing proteinuria. Our previous research underscored the crucial role of podocyte guanylyl cyclase-A (GC-A) in the pathogenesis of severe albuminuria in both systemic and podocyte-specific GC-A knockout mice. In this study, we demonstrate that matrix metalloproteinase-10 (MMP-10) is highly expressed in the glomeruli of GC-A knockout mice and in the kidneys of patients with glomerulonephritis.
