Transcriptional and functional motifs defining renal function revealed by single nuclear sequencing

ABSTRACT: Like humans, insects rely on precise regulation of their internal environments to survive. The insect renal system consists of Malpighian tubules and nephrocytes that share similarities to the mammalian kidney. Studies of the adult Drosophila Malpighian tubules and nephrocytes have led to many insights in our understanding of stem cell regeneration, protein reabsorption, excretion of waste products, and human kidney diseases. Here, we analyzed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) data sets to characterize the cell types of the adult male and female fly kidney.

Rapid Aldosterone Effects in Mouse Kidney Distal Convoluted Tubules Cells

Project description:Kidney distal convoluted tubules (DCT) are important for regulation of urinary salt excretion. Aldosterone is known to exert long-term effects in this segment, and regulate sodium reabsorption via increasing abundance of the Na+-Cl- cotransporter (NCC) and the epithelial Na channel ENaC. Whether acute effects of aldosterone occur in the DCT and the potential signaling networks remain unknown. Here in this study, we aim to identify the acute aldosterone-mediated signaling (rapid effects) in the DCT.

Malpighian tubules (MT) gene expression between control and yki3SA gut-tumor-bearing flies.

Project description:To investigate the function of Malpighian tubules on host wasting, we established a fly model of tumor-induced wasting by activation of an oncogene Yki in adult intestinal stem cells (ISCs) for 8 days to cause gut-tumor formation and systemic organ wasting and metabolic abnormalities. We then performed RNA-seq and gene expression analysis in Malpighian tubules from control and yki3SA tumor-bearing flies

Whole genome expression analysis in the third-instar larval midgut of Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:Survival of insects on a substrate containing toxic substances such as plant secondary metabolites or insecticides is dependent on the metabolism or excretion of those xenobiotics. The primary sites of xenobiotic metabolism are the midgut, Malpighian tubules and fat body. In general, these organs are treated as single tissues by online databases, but several studies have shown that gene expression within subsections of the midgut is compartmentalized. In this article, RNA sequencing analysis was used to investigate whole-genome expression in subsections of the third-instar larval midgut. The results support functional diversification in subsections of the midgut. Analysis of the expression of gene families that are implicated in the metabolism of xenobiotics suggests that metabolism may not be uniform along the midgut. These data provide a starting point for investigating gene expression and xenobiotic metabolism in the larval midgut. Examination of expression in eight samples corresponding to compartments of gene expression in the midgut

Aedes aegypti Malpighian tubules are immunologically activated following systemic Toll activation

Project description:Canine heartworm is a widespread and potentially fatal mosquito-borne disease caused by infections with the parasitic nematode, Dirofilaria immitis. We have previously shown that systemic activation of the Toll immune pathway via silencing of the negative regulator Cactus in Aedes aegypti blocks parasite development in the Malpighian tubules, the mosquito renal organ. However, it was not established whether the Malpighian tubules were directly responding to Toll activation or were alternatively responding to upregulated proteins or other changes to the hemolymph driven by other tissues. Distinguishing these possibilities is crucial for developing more precise strategies to block D. immitis while potentially avoiding the fitness cost to the mosquito associated with Cactus silencing. This study defines the transcriptional response of Ae. aegypti Malpighian tubules after systemic Toll activation via intra-thoracic injection of dsCactus and found, like the response of whole mosquitoes, a significant increase in expression of Toll pathway target genes. Additionally, we identified a significant overlap between the transcriptional response of the Malpighian tubules and proteins upregulated in the hemolymph. Our data show that Malpighian tubules are capable of RNAi-mediated gene silencing and directly respond to dsCactus treatment by upregulating canonical Toll pathway targets. Though not definitive, the strong correspondence between the Malpighian tubule transcriptional and the hemolymph proteomic responses provides evidence that the tubules may contribute to mosquito humoral immunity.

Transcription profiling of cortical collecting duct/connecting nephron tissue from mice treated with aldosterone, canrenoate vs. controls to identify gene products regulated by aldosterone in target cells

Project description:The mineralocorticoid hormone aldosterone controls sodium reabsorption and blood pressure largely by regulating the cell-surface expression and function of the epithelial sodium channel ENaC in target kidney tubules. Part of the stimulatory effect of aldosterone on ENaC is mediated by the induction of SGK1, a kinase that interferes with the ubiquitylation of ENaC by ubiquitin-protein ligase Nedd4-2. We performed a microarray study in order to investigate which other gene products are rapidly regulated by aldosterone in target cells that participate to the control of Na+ reabsorption and K+ secretion.

Population- and sex-biased gene expression in the excretion organs of Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:We used RNA-seq to investigate gene expression variation in Malpighian tubules, which have a function analogous to that of human kidneys. In order to characterize population differentiation, we sequenced the Malpighian tubule transcriptomes of flies derived from two populations, one from sub-Saharan Africa (Zimbabwe) and one from Europe (the Netherlands). Males and females were examined separately. Overall, we found a high amount of differential expression between sexes (2,308 genes) and populations (2,474 genes). Although most of the differentially expressed genes were consistent between sexes and populations, there were 615 genes showed sex-biased expression in only one population and 557 genes showed population-biased expression in only one sex. mRNA expression profiles of Drosophila melanogaster Malpighian tubules from adult males and females from a European and an African population (2 biological replicates per sex and population)

Transcriptional profiling of the zebrafish proximal tubule

Project description:The proximal tubules of the kidney carry out the bulk of solute reabsorption from the glomerular filtrate. They are also highly susceptible to damage as a result of diabetes or other syndromes that affect the kidney. The zebrafish embryonic/larval form of kidney, the pronephros, represents a simplified form of the mammalian organ, yet is easier to access and manipulate. We have recently described the importance of Hnf1b as master regulator in pronephros differentiation. Here, we establish a high-resolution expression profile of isolated, GFP-labelled proximal tubules from 3-day-old zebrafish. To enrich the profile in genes of functional relevance during pronephros differentiation, proximal tubules from Hnf1b-depleted larvae were analysed in parallel and differential expression analysis was performed.

Genome-wide profiling of expression of human glomeruli and tubules

Project description:Glomeruli and tubules are two key components in adult kidney cortex, and are important for kidney function. In order to understand the transcriptional regulation of kidney glomeruli and tubules, we generated genome wide transcription profiles with laser isolated glomeruli and tubules. Human Transcriptome 2.0 GeneChips (HTA2.0) were used to examine global gene expression.
