A 3D renal proximal tubule on chip model phenocopies Lowe syndrome and Dent II disease tubulopathy.


ABSTRACT: Lowe syndrome and Dent II disease are X-linked monogenetic diseases characterised by a renal reabsorption defect in the proximal tubules and caused by mutations in the OCRL gene, which codes for an inositol-5-phosphatase. The life expectancy of patients suffering from Lowe syndrome is largely reduced because of the development of chronic kidney disease and related complications. There is a need for physiological human in-vitro models for Lowe syndrome/Dent II disease to study underpinning disease mechanisms and to identify and characterise potential drugs and drug targets. Here we describe a proximal tubule organ on chip model combining 3D tubule architecture with fluid flow shear stress, which phenocopies hallmarks of Lowe syndrome/Dent II disease. We demonstrate the principal suitability of our in-vitro model for drug target validation. Furthermore, using this model we demonstrate that proximal tubule cells lacking OCRL expression upregulate markers typical for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) including the transcription factor SNAI2/Slug and show increased collagen expression and deposition, which potentially contributes to interstitial fibrosis and disease progression as observed in Lowe syndrome and Dent II disease.
