Single cell RNA-seq on kidneys of mice with inactivated hepatocellular Mdm2.

ABSTRACT: In our study we aimed to characterise the effects of p53-induced liver senescence on murine kidneys. We induced liver senescence in 8-12 weeks old male mice by compromising hepatocellular Mdm2 functionality through systemic administration of the AAV8-TBG-Cre viral vector (ΔMdm2Hep mice). We observed transmision of the senescent phenotype from the senescent liver to the genetically unmanipulated kidney. To further elucidate the mechanisms that mediate this transmission phenotype and to characterise its effects on the kidney, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on the kidneys of 3 ΔMdm2Hep and 3 control mice. We observed the upregulation of several signalling pathways in specific renal cell compartments (e.g. TGFβ in the tubular compartment and JAK-STAT in the mesenchymal compartment). Our results show that liver senescence has a different effect on the renal transcriptome depending on the cellular compartment.
