A comparative study of cellular diversity between the Xenopus pronephric and mouse metanephric nephron.

Project description:The kidney is an essential organ that ensures bodily fluid homeostasis and removes soluble waste products from the organism. Nephrons, the functional units of the kidney, comprise a blood filter, the glomerulus or glomus, and an epithelial tubule that processes the filtrate from the blood or coelom and selectively reabsorbs solutes, such as sugars, proteins, ions, and water, leaving waste products to be eliminated in the urine. Genes coding for transporters are segmentally expressed, enabling the nephron to sequentially process the filtrate. The Xenopus embryonic kidney, the pronephros, which consists of a single large nephron, has served as a valuable model to identify genes involved in nephron formation and patterning. Therefore, the developmental patterning program that generates these segments is of great interest. Prior work has defined the gene expression profiles of Xenopus nephron segments via in situ hybridization strategies, but a comprehensive understanding of the cellular makeup of the pronephric kidney remains incomplete. Here, we carried out single-cell mRNA sequencing of the functional Xenopus pronephric nephron and evaluated its cellular composition through comparative analyses with previous Xenopus studies and single-cell mRNA sequencing of the adult mouse kidney. This study reconstructs the cellular makeup of the pronephric kidney and identifies conserved cells, segments, and associated gene expression profiles. Thus, our data highlight significant conservation in podocytes, proximal and distal tubule cells, and divergence in cellular composition underlying the capacity of each nephron to remove wastes in the form of urine, while emphasizing the Xenopus pronephros as a model for physiology and disease.

Xenopus laevis kidney-induced animal caps nanoLC-MS/MS - Xenopus Ssbp2 is required for embryonic pronephros morphogenesis and terminal differentiation.

Project description:The nephron, functional unit of the vertebrate kidney, is specialized in metabolic wastes excretion and body fluids osmoregulation. Given the high evolutionary conservation of gene expression and segmentation patterning between mammalian and amphibian nephrons, the Xenopus laevis pronephric kidney offers a simplified model for studying nephrogenesis. The Lhx1 transcription factor plays critical roles in kidney development, regulating target gene expression by forming multiprotein complexes with LIM binding protein 1 (Ldb1). However, few Lhx1-Ldb1 cofactors have been identified for this organ formation. By tandem- affinity purification from kidney-induced Xenopus animal caps, we identified single-stranded DNA binding protein 2 (Ssbp2) to interact with the Ldb1-Lhx1 complex. Ssbp2 is expressed in the Xenopus pronephros, and knockdown prevents normal morphogenesis and differentiation of the glomus and the convoluted renal tubules. We demonstrate a role for a member of the Ssbp family in kidney organogenesis and provide evidence of a fundamental function for the Ldb1-Lhx1-Ssbp transcriptional complexes in embryonic development.

Next generation sequencing identifies differentially localized transcripts in Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis oocytes

Project description:RNA-seq technology was used to identify differentially localized transcripts from Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis stage VI oocytes. Besides the discovery of a group of novel animally enriched RNAs, this study revealed a surprisingly low conservation of vegetal RNA localization between the two frog species. mRNA profiles of Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalis animal and vegetal oocyte halves were generated by RNA-seq technology. For Xenopus laevis, animal and vegetal oocyte RNA preparations from two different females were generated in duplicates. For Xenopus tropicalis, animal and vegetal oocyte RNA preparations from two different females were analyzed.

Transcription profiling of Xenopus embryos

Project description:Xenopus laevis embryos were injected with mRNA for EFTFs at 2-cell stage. Animal caps collected at stage 9, cultured to the equivalent of stage 15 and RNA extracted. Four biological replicates of the EFTF-injected and GFP-injected (control) caps were used to profile transcript expression patterns using Affymetrix Xenopus Laevis GeneChip microarrays.
