A Spatial Transcriptomic atlas of the human kidney papilla identifies significant immune injury in patients with stone disease
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Kidney stone disease causes significant morbidity and increases health care utilization. The pathogenesis of stone disease is incompletely understood, due in part to the poor characterization of the cellular and molecular makeup of the human papilla and its alteration with disease. In this work, we characterize the human renal papilla in health and calcium oxalate stone disease using single nuclear RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics and high-resolution large scale multiplexed 3D and Co-Detection by indexing (CODEX) imaging. We define and localize subtypes of principal cells enriched in the papilla as well as immune and stromal cell populations. We further uncovered an undifferentiated epithelial cell signature in the papilla, particularly during nephrolithiasis.
