Transcriptomic analysis of the impact of EHHADH deficiency on male mouse kidney

ABSTRACT: Background: Proximal tubular (PT) cells are enriched in mitochondria and peroxisomes. Whereas mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) plays an important role in kidney function by supporting the high-energy requirements of PT cells, the role of peroxisomal metabolism remains largely unknown. EHHADH, also known as L-bifunctional protein, catalyzes the second and third step of peroxisomal FAO. Methods: RNA was isolated using QIAzol lysis reagent followed by purification using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen). RNA samples were submitted to the Genomics Core Facility at the Icahn Institute and Department of Genetics and Genomic Sciences for further processing. mRNA-focused cDNA libraries were generated using Illumina reagents (polyA capture), and samples were run on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer to yield a read depth of approximately 56 million 100 nucleotide single-end reads per samples. Reads from fastq files were aligned to the mouse genome mm10 (GRCm38.75) with STAR (release 2.4.0 g1) and summarized to gene- and exon- level counts using featureCounts. Only genes with at least one count per million in at least 2 samples were considered. Differential gene expression analysis was conducted with the R package limma. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were defined using an adjusted p value of < 0.05 with no logFC cut-off. Results: Transcriptome analysis unveiled a gene expression signature similar to PT injury in acute kidney injury mouse models. Conclusions: Our data highlight the importance of EHHADH and peroxisomal metabolism in male kidney physiology and reveal peroxisomal FAO as a sexual dimorphic metabolic pathway in mouse kidneys.

Loss of proximal tubular Kruppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) exacerbates kidney injury through loss of fatty acid oxidation

Project description:KLF15 has a critical role in other kidney cell types, but its role in mediating proximal tubular (PT) fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in AKI has not been determined. PT-specific KLF15 knockdown (Klf15PTKO) and control Klf15fl/fl mice were treated with multiple low doses of the PT-specific DNA-damaging agent aristolochic acid I (AAI) and RNA-sequencing of kidney cortex undertaken. Klf15PTKO exhibited worse kidney injury than Klf15fl/fl mice after AAI treatment. Immune system and integrin signaling pathways were significantly upregulated in Klf15PTKO versus Klf15fl/fl mice. Metabolic pathways, specifically FAO, were significantly downregulated in Klf15PTKO versus Klf15fl/fl mice, including PPARalpha signaling.

Murine deficiency of peroxisomal L-bifunctional protein (EHHADH) causes medium-chain 3-hydroxydicarboxylic aciduria and perturbs hepatic cholesterol homeostasis

Project description:Peroxisomes play an essential role in the β-oxidation of dicarboxylic acids (DCAs), which are metabolites formed upon ω-oxidation of fatty acids. The physiological functions of DCA metabolism remain largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the biological role of DCA metabolism using mice deficient in the peroxisomal L-bifunctional protein (Ehhadh KO mice). We performed RNA-seq in WT and Ehhadh KO livers, treated with vehicle or L-aminocarnitine (L-AC), an inhibitor of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. We show that, in liver, Ehhadh KO mice have increased mRNA and protein expression of cholesterol biosynthesis enzymes with decreased (in females) or similar (in males) rate of cholesterol synthesis. We conclude that EHHADH plays an essential role in the metabolism of medium-chain DCAs and postulate that peroxisomal DCA β-oxidation is a regulator of hepatic cholesterol biosynthesis.

Acquired deficiency of the peroxisomal bi-functional enzyme enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase is a metabolic vulnerability in murine hepatoblastoma

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming provides transformed cells with proliferative and/or survival advantages. However, capitalizing on this therapeutically has been only moderately successful due to the relatively small magnitude of these differences and because cancers may re-program their metabolism to evade metabolic pathway inhibition. Mice lacking the peroxisomal bi-functional enzyme enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (Ehhadh) and supplemented with the 12-carbon fatty acid lauric acid (C12) accumulate dodecanedioic acid (DDDA), a toxic C12 metabolite that causes hepatocyte necrosis and acute liver failure. In a murine model of pediatric hepatoblastoma (HB), down-regulation of Ehhadh also occurs in combination with a more general suppression of mitochondrial β- and peroxisomal ω-fatty acid oxidation (FAO) pathways. HB-bearing mice provided with C12 and/or DDDA-supplemented diets survived significantly longer than those on standard diets. The tumors also developed massive necrosis in response to short-term DDDA supplementation. Reduced Ehhadh was noted in murine hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and in substantial subsets of human cancers, including HCCs. Acquired DDDA resistance was not associated with Ehhadh re-expression but was associated with 129 transcript differences ~90% of which were down-regulated in DDDA-resistant tumors and ~two-thirds of which correlated with survival in several human cancers. These transcripts often encoded components of the extracellular matrix suggesting that DDDA resistance arises from its reduced intracellular transport. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of a metabolic intervention that is non-toxic, inexpensive and likely compatible with traditional therapies. C12 and/or DDDA-containing diets could potentially be used to supplement other treatments or as alternative therapeutic choices.

Single-cell analysis of chromatin accessibility in the adult mouse brain

Project description:Here we report a comprehensive atlas of candidate cis-regulatory DNA elements (cCREs) in the adult mouse brain, generated through examination of the chromatin accessibility in 2.3 million individual brain cells from 117 anatomical dissections. The atlas includes approximately 1 million cCREs and their chromatin accessibility across 1482 distinct brain cell populations, adding over 446,000 new cCREs to the most recent such annotation in the mouse genome. Raw fastq files are demultiplexed. Out of 234 samples, fastq files for 6 samples are available in NCBI under the accession number GSE126724 (CEMBA180308_3B, CEMBA180312_3B, CEMBA180226_1A, CEMBA180227_1A, CEMBA180305_2B, CEMBA180306_2B). Processed data are SnapATAC2 (<= 2.4.0) h5ad files per sample, with raw fragments and 500-bp bmat. NOTE: due to the break changes in SnapATAC2 >= 2.5.0, the data can not be handled rightly in SnapATAC2 >= 2.5.0.

Octanedioic-acid supplementation protects from acute kidney injury via stimulation of renal peroxisomal activity over mitochondrial

Project description:Lysine succinylation is a posttranslational modification associated with the control of several diseases, including acute kidney injury (AKI). Hypersuccinylation favors peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation (FAO) instead of mitochondrial. In addition, the medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) dodecanedioic acid (DC12) and octanedioic acid (DC8), upon FAO, generate succinyl-CoA, resulting in hypersuccinylation. To test the protective roles of MCFAs during AKI, mice were fed with control, 10% DC12, or 10% DC8 diet, then, subjected to either ischemic-AKI , or cisplatin-AKI models. Supplementation was provided until sacrifice. Biochemical, histologic, genetic, and proteomic analysis were performed, the latter involving a lysine-succinylome-based analysis. Both DC8 and DC12 prevented the rise of AKI markers in mice that underwent renal injury. However, DC8 was even more protective against AKI than DC12. Finally, succinylome analysis evidenced that the kidneys of DC8-fed mice showed an extensive succinylation of peroxisomal activity-related proteins, and a decline in mitochondrial FAO, in comparison to control-fed mice. DC8 supplementation drives renal protein hypersuccinylation, promoting a shift from mitochondrial to peroxisomal FAO, and protecting against AKI. DC8 is convenient, inexpensive, easily administered, and efficient. We believe this study could be translated in the future to clinical settings, which would highly benefit patients at high risk of AKI.

Renal proximal tubule cell state and metabolism are coupled by nuclear receptors

Project description:Kidney disease development is poorly understood due to the complex cellular interactions of more than 25 different cell types, each with specialized functions. Here, we used single cell RNA-sequencing to resolve cell type-specific and cell fraction changes in kidney disease. Whole kidney RNA-sequencing results were strongly influenced by cell fraction changes, but minimally informative to detect cell type-specific gene expression changes. Cell type-specific differential expression analysis identified proximal tubule cells (PT cells) as the key vulnerable cell type in diseased kidneys. Through unbiased cell trajectory analyses, we show that PT cell differentiation state is altered in disease state. Metabolism (fatty acid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation) in PT cells showed the strongest and reproducible association with PT cells state. The coupling of cell state and metabolism is established by nuclear receptors such as ESRRA that not only control cellular metabolism but also the expression of PT cell-specific genes in mice and patient samples.

Small non-coding RNA expression in developing mouse nephron progenitors

Project description:The overall goal of this study is to determine the small non-coding RNA expression profile in developing mouse nephron progenitors and whole kidney. Using a limited digestion and negative selection approach, an enriched fraction of nephron progenitors were isolated from E15.5 whole kidney samples followed by small RNA-Sequencing (sRNA-Seq). A total of 3 biological replicates of mouse nephron progenitors and whole kidney samples were used for the sRNA-Seq. The NEBNext Multiplex Small RNA Library Prep Kit allowed us to prepare sequencing libraries from as little as 100ng total RNA. Multiplex sequencing was performed using the Illumina NextSeq 550 system with 50bp single reads, resulting in approximately 18 million reads per sample. Reads were aligned to the mm10 genome using Bowtie2, and the miRDeep2 software package was used to identify and quantify known and novel micro RNA (miRNA) within our sRNA-seq libraries. Differential expression analysis of miRNA expression between nephron progenitor and whole kidney samples identified 162 differentially expressed miRNAs (padj <= 0.05).

Sirtuin 5 regulates proximal tubule fatty acid oxidation to protect against acute kidney injury

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major health care concern. There are no therapies for the treatment of AKI. The primary site of damage during AKI is the proximal tubule, which are highly metabolically active cells that rely upon fatty acids for energy. Proximal tubules are notably mitochondria- and peroxisomes-rich cell type that mediate fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Sirtuins reverse post-translational lysine acylation and control many biological processes including FAO. Sirtuin1 and sirtuin3 are protective against AKI. However, the role of the mitochondrial Sirtuin5 (Sirt5) during AKI has yet to be determined. We found Sirt5 to be highly expressed in the proximal tubule. At baseline Sirtuin5 knockout (Sirt5-/-) animals had modestly decreased mitochondrial function but significantly increased FAO, which was localized to the peroxisome. While no overt kidney phenotype was observed in SIRT5-/- mice, following ischemia reperfusion injury Sirt5-/- animals had significantly improved kidney function and less tissue damage. This coincided with increased peroxisomal activity in the Sirt5-/- proximal tubules in preference to the mitochondria. Here we have identified a novel mechanism driving protection of kidneys from ischemic injury. If this can be harnessed it may prove to be an effective therapeutic.

Endogenous renal adiponectin drives gluconeogenesis through enhancing pyruvate and fatty acid utilization

Project description:Adiponectin is an important secretory protein, primarily produced in adipose tissue. However, low but detectable expression of adiponectin can be observed in cell types beyond adipocytes, particularly in kidney tubular cells, but its local renal role is unknown. We assessed the role of renal adiponectin by utilizing male doxycycline inducible kidney tubular cell-specific adiponectin overexpression or knockout mice. Kidney-specific adiponectin overexpression induces a doubling of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase expression and enhanced pyruvate-mediated glucose production, tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates and an upregulation of fatty acid oxidation (FAO). The inhibition of FAO reduces the adiponectin-induced enhancement of glucose production, highlighting the role of FAO in the induction of renal gluconeogenesis. In contrast, kidney-specific adiponectin deleted mice exhibit enhanced glucose tolerance as well as a lower utilization and greater accumulation of lipid species. In summary, renal adiponectin is a potent inducer of gluconeogenesis by driving enhanced FAO in the kidney and underline the important systemic role of renal gluconeogenesis.

Data-Independent Acquisitions Uncover Kidney Proteome Remodeling during Ischemic Reperfusion Kidney Injury using a Fast-scanning ZenoTOF 7600

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) manifests as a major health concern particularly for the elderly and understanding related proteome changes is critical for prevention and development of novel therapeutics to recover kidney function, and to mitigate the susceptibility for recurrent AKI, or development of chronic kidney disease. In this study, mouse kidneys were subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury while the contralateral kidneys remained uninjured to assess changes in the kidney proteome. A fast-scanning ZenoTOF 7600 mass spectrometer was used for comprehensive data-independent acquisition (DIA) for protein identification and quantification. Short microflow gradients, and the generation of a deep kidney-specific spectral library allowed for comprehensive and high-throughput assays. Upon AKI the kidney proteome was completely remodeled, and over half of the 3,945 quantified protein groups changed significantly. Downregulated proteins in the injured kidney were involved in energy production, including numerous peroxisomal matrix proteins, many related to lipid metabolism, such as ACOX1, CAT, EHHADH, ACOT4, ACOT8, and Scp2. Injured mice exhibited severely declined health. The comprehensive and sensitive kidney-specific DIA assays, highlighted in this work, feature high-throughput analytical capabilities to achieve deep coverage of the kidney proteome, and will serve as useful tool for the development of novel therapeutics aimed at remediating kidney function.
