Project description:Podocytes are cells of the visceral epithelium in the kidneys and form a crucial component of the glomerular filtration barrier, contributing to size selectivity and maintaining a massive filtration surface. We are interested in pursuing a microarray analysis to identify the glycosylation-related genes that are modulated in podocytes during insulin and glucose stimulation. As such, we propose to isolate RNA from cultured AB 8/13 human podocyte cell line in their normal state and treated with different concentrations of insulin and glucose. Initially, we would like to analyze 12 samples (Normal control, 2 Starved controls, Insulin experiments 1-4, and glucose experiments 1-5). These experiments would give us information on the gene regulation changes in different healthy and diabetic conditions. In addition to providing possible identification of the unknown proteins involved with diabetic nephropathy, such analysis would provide novel information about early responses by podocytes in response to insulin and glucose level changes in vitro. The results from this analysis will be utilized to focus our research with regard to glycosylation of the proteins in the podocyte slit diaphragm.

Project description:Regulated intracellular proteolysis is essential in maintaining the integrity of podocytes and the glomerular filtration barrier of the kidney. Altered proteolytic substrate turnover has been associated with various glomerular diseases ranging from diabetic nephropathy to focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. However, thus far it has not been possible to systematically identify proteolytically cleaved proteins although some of the proteases have been characterized. Here we applied TAILS to identify N-termini in rat glomeruli and their changes on PAN-induced injury.

Project description:Diabetic nephropathy is a major cause of end-stage renal disease. Kidney podocytes play a central role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. With their intercellular contacts they assemble part of the kidney filter. Many molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy are not elucidated and targeted therapies are lacking. Nephron-specific TrkCknockout (TrkC-KO) and TrkC overexpressing mice exhibit features of diabetic nephropathy such as enlarged glomeruli with mesangial proliferation, basement membrane thickening, albuminuria and podocyte loss when aging. Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (Igf1R)- associated gene expression was regulated in TrkC-KO mice glomeruli by qPCR. Phosphoproteins associated with insulin, erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase (Erbb) and Toll-like receptor signaling were enriched in lysates of podocytes treated with the TrkC ligand neurotrophin-3(Nt-3) in a mass spectrometry analysis. Activation of TrkC by Nt-3 resulted in phosphorylation of the Igf1R on activating tyrosine residues in podocytes. Our results identify TrkC to be a potentially targetable mediator of diabetic nephropathy.

Project description:Overexpression of glomerular JAK2 mRNA specifically in glomerular podocytes of 129S6 mice led to significant increases in albuminuria, mesangial expansion, glomerulosclerosis, glomerular fibronectin accumulation, and glomerular basement membrane thickening as well as a significant reduction in podocyte density in diabetic mice. Treatment with a specific JAK1/2 inhibitor partly reversed the major phenotypic changes of DKD

Project description:Parietal epithelial cells (PECs) are crucially involved in the pathogenesis of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) as well as in focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). In this study, transgenic mouse lines were used to isolate pure, genetically tagged primary cultures of PECs or podocytes using FACsorting. By this approach, the morphology of primary glomerular epithelial cells in culture could be resolved: Primary podocytes formed either large cells with intracytoplasmatic extensions or smaller spindle shaped cells, depending on specific culture conditions. Primary PECs were small and exhibited a spindle-shaped or polygonal morphology. In the very early phases of primary culture, rapid changes in gene expression (e.g. of WT-1 and Pax-2) were observed. However, after prolonged culture primary PECs and podocytes still segregated clearly in a transcriptome analysis - demonstrating that the origin of primary cell cultures is important. Of the classical markers, synaptopodin and podoplanin expression were differentially regulated the most in primary PEC and podocyte cultures. However, no expression of any endogenous gene allowed to differentiate between the two cell types in culture. Finally, we show that the transcription factor WT1 is also expressed by PECs. In summary, genetic tagging of PECs and podocytes is a novel and necessary tool to derive pure primary cultures with proven origin. These cultures will be a powerful tool for the emerging field of parietal epithelial cell biology. Total RNA for genechip analysis was derived from: 1) Primary parietal cells isolated by FACS sorting of glomeruli cultivated in 1a) RPMI media 1b) EGM-MV media 2) Primary podocyte cells isolated by FACS sorting of glomeruli cultivated in 2a) RPMI media 2b) EGM-MV media

Project description:The early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) is essential to improve the prognosis and manage patients affected by this disease. Standard biomarkers, including albuminuria and glomerular filtration rate, are limited to give a precise result. New molecular biomarkers are needed to identify better and predict DN disease evolution. Characteristic DN biomarkers can be identified using transcriptomic analysis. Blood samples were used to isolate RNA for microarray expression using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K v2 Microarrays, we evaluated the transcriptomic profile of controls , prediabetes, type-2 diabetes mellitus, and DN.
