Project description:Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2) from Escherichia coli is thought to be a main factor to casue renal dysfunction in Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) infection. The renal dysfunction caused by the proximal tubular defects can be detected in the earlier EHEC infection. However, the precise information of gene expression from proximal tubular epithelial cells has yet to be clarified. We performed microarray experiments using Stx2-injected mouse kidney and Stx2-treated human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC), and extracted common genes that were differentially expressed.

Project description:The proximal tubule plays an important role in the secretion and reabsorption of drugs in the kidney and is a major site of drug interaction and toxicity. Kidney toxicity analysis via in vitro assays is challenging as few provide appropriate proximal tubular cell function. In this study, we aimed to develop a simple and reproducible method to culture human proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs), used in pharmacokinetic and toxicological evaluation by monitoring organic anion transporter (OAT)1 as a selection marker. As a result, by culturing RPTECs in spherical cellular aggregates, OAT1 protein expression, which does not increase in conventional 2D culture, increased over time and reached a similar level to that in human renal cortices from 5 different donors. The expression of proximal tubule markers, AQP1 and CDH6, was maintained, indicating that 3D RPTEC spheroids had proximal tubule characteristics. For SLC transporters, the 3D spheroid culture improved the protein expression of about 7% of the 139 transporter proteins detected and 2.3% of 4,800 proteins detected to about 5-fold that in human renal cortices. Furthermore, the protein expression levels of about 4800 proteins in 3D RPTEC spheroids (cultured for 12 days) were maintained over 20 days. Cisplatin and adefovir exhibited transporter-dependent ATP decreases in 3D RPTEC spheroids. These results indicate that the 3D RPTEC spheroid is a simple and robust in vitro experimental system for pharmacokinetic and toxicological evaluation in drug development.

Project description:EHEC is a food-borne pathogen that colonizes human GI tract and leads to infection. To understand the process of colonization and to decipher if any factors secreted by intestinal epithelial cells help EHEC during the infection process, we studied expression of EHEC virulence gene expression when exposed to intestinal epithelial cell conditioned medium. In our study, we observed that exposure to epithelial cell conditioned medium for 1 h and 3 h increases expression of 32 out of 41 EHEC LEE virulence genes. In addition, expression of the shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) gene is up-regulated at 1 h of exposure. Also, 17 genes encoded by prophage 933W, including those for Stx2, are also upregulated at both time-points. The increase in 933W prophage expression is mirrored by a 2.7-fold increase in intracellular Stx2 phage titers. Consistent with the increase in virulence gene expression, we observed a 5-fold increase in EHEC attachment to epithelial cells when exposed to conditioned medium, suggesting that EHEC utilizes host cell molecules to increase virulence and infectivity. The molecule(s) responsible for increased EHEC virulence is heat-sensitive as heating the conditioned medium to 95oC abolishes the increase in attachment to epithelial cells. A similar decrease was observed when the conditioned medium was treated with proteinase-K to degrade the proteins. The secreted molecule(s) was found to be larger than 3 kDa and strongly suggests that the HCT-8 secreted molecule that increases EHEC virulence and colonization is a protein-based molecule. Affymetrix E. coli Genome 2.0 Arrays were used to determine the changes in EHEC virulence gene expression on exposure to intestinal epithelial cell-secreted factors (through growth in conditioned medium).

Affymetrix E. coli Genome 2.0 Arrays were used to determine the changes in EHEC virulence gene expression on exposure to intestinal epithelial cell-secreted factors (through growth in conditioned medium). Overnight cultures of EHEC were diluted in LB medium to a turbidity of 0.1 at 600 nm. The cells were allowed to grow to a turbidity of 1.0 at 600 nm at 37°C and the EHEC cells were then resuspended in either fresh or conditioned medium. The cultures were then allowed to grow for 1 h or 3 h before cell pellets were collected by centrifugation and stored at -80°C. Total RNA was isolated from the cell pellets (173) and RNA quality was assessed using gel electrophoresis. Escherichia coli Genome 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA) containing 10,208 probe sets for all 20,366 genes present in four strains of E. coli, including EHEC, were used to profile changes in gene expression using RNA samples for each treatment.

Project description:Purpose: The aim of the present study was to identify and characterize in tissue samples of clear cell-renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) a population of CD133+/CD24+ cancer cells (RCC-derived cells-RDCs) and to study the differences with their nonneoplastic counterpart, tubular Adult Renal Progenitor Cells (ARPCs). Materials and methods: CD133+/CD24+ RDCs were isolated from 40 patients. The mesenchymal phenotype and stemness proteomic profile of these RDCs were characterized. The colony-forming efficiency and self-renewal ability were tested with limiting dilution. The tumorigenic properties were evaluated in vitro with Soft Agar Assay. The angiogenic response was evaluated in vivo with the chorioallantoic membrane angiogenic assay. Microarray analysis was performed on 6 tARPCs and 6 RDCs clones. Expression of membrane proteins was evaluated with flowcytometry and immunofluorescence staining. Results: CD133+/CD24+ cells were isolated from normal and tumoral kidney tissue. FACS analysis showed that RDCs did not express the mesenchymal stem cell markers. We showed that CD133+/CD24+ tumor cells were more undifferentiated than tARPCs. RDCs were clonigenic and able to differentiate into adipocytes, epithelial and osteogenic cells. RDCs were able to regenerate tumor cells in vitro and to induce angiogenesis in vivo. The gene expression profile identified CTR2 as a membrane marker for this neoplastic population. Conclusions: Our results indicate the presence, in ccRCC, of a CD133+/CD24+/CTR2+ cancer cells population. These cells possess some stem cell-like features, including in vitro self-maintenance and differentiating capabilities, and are able to induce an angiogenic response in vivo. Study of gene expression profiling of Renal Cancer Cells (RCSCs), tubular Adult Renal Progenitor Cells (tARPCs), Renal Proximal Tubular Cells (RPTEC) and Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC). To highlight the similarities and the differences with known renal stem populations and with terminally differentiated renal cells, for each patient, 6 subcultures of tubular ARPCs (tARPCs), 3 subcultures of the MSC and 3 subcultures of the RPTEC were included in the analysis.

Project description:The effect of pooled immunoglobulins (IgG) on E. coli O157:H7 colonization and the course of disease in an EHEC mouse model was investigated showing an improved survival and decreased intestinal and renal pathology. Treatment was given after inoculation thereby corresponding to the clinical setting. In vitro studies identified E. coli serine protease EspP as the E. coli O157:H7 protein that IgG bound to, via the Fc fragment, in both murine and human IgG preparations, and blocked its enzymatic activity. EspP is a virulence factor previously shown to promote colonic cell injury and the uptake of Shiga toxin by intestinal cells. The results suggest that IgG in commercial preparations binds to EspP protecting the host from E. coli O157:H7 infection and could potentially be beneficial in patients.

Project description:Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) play a key role in the activation of the autoimmune response in LN. Recently we demonstrated that these cells infiltrate the kidney of patients with LN at tubulointerstitial level. The pDCs are the main producers of IFN-alpha, whose effects on the renal tubule are poorly understood. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of INF-alpha in renal epithelial cells (RPTEC). We investigated the effect of IFN-alpha on the whole-genome gene expression profile in RPTEC cells,. Genomic analysis showed that after stimulation, 108 genes are up-regulated and only 7 are down-regulated, with a fold-change> 2. The Gene Set Enrichment analysis confirmed that IFN-alpha induced the pathway of antigen presentation and the inflammatory signaling in RPTEC. Among the up-regulated genes involved in these pathways, there were HLA-I, the ubiquitins (FBXO6 and DTX3L) and the immunoproteasome subunits LMP7. We performed the validation of these genes by real time PCR and citometry experiments on RPTEC stimulated with IFN-alpha. Immunohistochemical analysis of LMP7 and MXA protein, specific marker of IFN-alpha, showed a significant upregulatation of both proteins in renal biopsies of patients with LN class IV compared to class I. Confocal microscopy showed the colocalization of LMP7-MXA in tubular epithelium of patients with LN class IV and activation of inflammatory signaling via NF-kB in the MXA+ tubules. Our data suggested that inhibition of INF-alpha pathways could represent a novel therapeutic strategy to reduce renal tubular damage in patients with LN. To identify genes specifically modulated by INF-alpha in RPTEC, we stimulated 3 different cell clones with 100U/ml INF-alpha for 48 hours and compared their whole-genome gene expression profiles with that from 3 RPTEC clones cultured without stimuli.

Project description:The human intestinal microbiota associated with rats produces in vivo a soluble(s) factor(s) that down-regulates the expression of genes encoding for the Shiga toxin II in E. coli O157:H7. The Shiga toxin II is one of the major virulence factors of E. coli enterohemorragic leading to the deadly hemolitic and uremic syndrome. Investigation of the effect of the human intestinal microbiota on the whole transcriptome of EHEC O157:H7 is of major importance to increase our understanding of the pathogen transcriptomic adaptation in response to the human microbiota. We analysed by microarray hybridization the gene expression pattern of EHEC O157:H7 grown in the caecal content of germ-free rats or rats associated with the human microbiota of a healthy human subject. By doing so, we increased our understanding of the regulatory activities of the human gut microbiota on E. coli O157:H7
