Project description:Alteration of DNA methylation leads to diverse diseases, and the dynamic changes of DNA methylation (DNAm) on sets of CpG dinucleotides in mammalian genomes, named as “DNAm age” and “epigenetic clocks” that can predict chronological age. However, whether and how dysregulation of DNA methylation promotes cyst progression and epigenetic age acceleration in ADPKD remains elusive. In this study, we show that DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is upregulated in cystic renal epithelial cells and tissues, and that knockout of Dnmt1 and targeting DNMT1 with hydralazine, a safe demethylating agent, delays cyst growth in Pkd1 mutant kidneys and extends life span of Pkd1 conditional knockout mice. With methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) protein-enriched genome sequencing (MBD-seq), DNMT1 chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-sequencing and RNA-sequencing analysis, we identify two novel DNMT1 targets, PTPRM and PTPN22 (members of the protein tyrosine phosphatase family), which function as mediators of DNMT1 and the phosphorylation and activation of PKD associated signaling pathways, including ERK, mTOR and STAT3. With whole genome bisulfide sequencing (WGBS) in ADPKD kidneys versus normal individuals, we found that the methylation of epigenetic clock associated genes were dysregulated, supporting that epigenetic age was accelerated in ADPKD kidneys. We further identify four epigenetic clock associated genes, including Hsd17b14, Mbnl1, Rassf5 and Plk2. The diverse biological roles of these four genes suggest that their methylation status may not only predict epigenetic age acceleration but also contribute to disease progression in ADPKD.

Project description:Initial cysts that are formed upon Pkd1 loss in mice impose persistent stress on surrounding tissue and trigger a cystic snowball effect, in which local aberrant PKD-related signaling increases the likelihood of new cyst formation, ultimately leading to accelerated disease progression. Although many pathways have been associated with PKD progression, the knowledge of early changes near initial cysts is limited. To perform an unbiased analysis of transcriptomic alterations in the cyst microenvironment, microdomains were collected from kidney sections of iKsp-Pkd1del mice with scattered Pkd1-deletion using Laser Capture Microdissection. These microdomains were defined as F4/80-low cystic, representing early alterations in the cyst microenvironment, F4/80-high cystic, with more advanced alterations, or non-cystic. RNA sequencing and differential gene expression analysis revealed 953 and 8088 dysregulated genes in the F4/80-low and F4/80-high cyst microenvironment, respectively, when compared to non-cystic microdomains. In the early cyst microenvironment, several injury-repair, growth, and tissue remodeling-related pathways were activated, accompanied by mild metabolic changes. In the more advanced F4/80-high microdomains, these pathways were potentiated and the metabolism was highly dysregulated. Upstream regulator analysis revealed a series of paracrine factors with increased activity in the early cyst microenvironment, including TNFSF12 and OSM. In line with the upstream regulator analysis, TWEAK and Oncostatin-M promoted cell proliferation and inflammatory gene expression in renal epithelial cells and fibroblasts in vitro. Collectively, our data provide an overview of molecular alterations that specifically occur in the cyst microenvironment and identify paracrine factors that may mediate early and advanced alterations in the cyst microenvironment.

Project description:Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) affects more than 12 million people worldwide. Mutations in PKD1 and PKD2 cause cyst formation through unknown mechanisms. To unravel the pathogenic mechanisms in ADPKD, multiple studies have investigated transcriptional mis-regulation in cystic kidneys from patients and mouse models, and numerous dysregulated genes and pathways have been described. Yet, the concordance between studies has been rather limited. Furthermore, the cellular and genetic diversity in cystic kidneys has hampered the identification of mis-expressed genes in kidney epithelial cells with homozygous PKD mutations, which are critical to identify polycystin-dependent pathways.

Project description:Polycystic Kidney Disease is characterized by the formation of large fluid-filled cysts that eventually destroy the renal parenchyma leading to end-stage renal failure. Although remarkable progress has been made in understanding the pathologic mechanism of the disease, the precise orchestration of the early events leading to cyst formation is still unclear. Abnormal cellular proliferation was traditionally considered to be one of the primary irregularities leading to cyst initiation and growth. Consequently, many therapeutic interventions have focused on targeting this abnormal proliferation, and some have even progressed to clinical trials. However, the role of proliferation in cyst development was primarily examined at stages where cysts are already visible in the kidneys and therefore at later stages of disease development. In this study we focused on the cystic phenotype since birth in an attempt to clarify the temporal contribution of cellular proliferation in cyst development. Using a PKD2 transgenic rat model (PKD2 (1-703)) of different ages (0-60 days after birth) we performed gene expression profiling and phenotype analysis by measuring various kidney parameters. Phenotype analysis demonstrated that renal cysts appear immediately after birth in the PKD2 transgenic rat model (PKD2 (1-703)). On the other hand, abnormal proliferation occurs at later stages of the disease as identified by gene expression profiling. Interestingly, other pathways appear to be deregulated at early stages of the disease in this PKD model. Our data suggest that cystogenesis precedes deregulation of proliferation-related pathways, suggesting that proliferation abnormalities may contribute in cyst growth rather than cyst formation. In this study we focused on the cystic phenotype since birth in an attempt to clarify the temporal contribution of cellular proliferation in cyst development. Using a PKD2 transgenic rat model (PKD2 (1-703)) of different ages (0,6 and 24 days after birth) we performed gene expression profiling of kidney cells.

Project description:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by mutations in either the PKD1 or PKD2 genes leading to progressive cyst growth and often ESKD. We have previously demonstrated that with loss of Pkd1 the tubules can enlarge without an increase in tubular cell numbers, suggesting that tubular basement membrane remodeling is important for cystic dilation. Here we compared the transcriptomes from inducible tubule-specific knock out of Pkd1 (PkdTKO) and the uninduced littermate mice kidneys as controls. RNA sequencing revealed significant upregulation of 17 metalloproteinases. Of these, A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motif 1 (Adamts1), expressed primarily by the proximal tubule, is the most significantly upregulated following loss of Pkd1 expression. Upregulation of Adamts1 in PkdTKO kidneys correlated with a significant increase in the 70 kDa cleavage product of the V1 isoform of versican, which localized to the tubule basement membrane (TBM) and adjacent interstitial mononuclear cells. Simultaneous deletion of both Adamts1 and Pkd1 (P/ATKO) reduced Adamts1 expression levels by >90%, prevented V1 versican cleavage, and reduced interstitial macrophage accumulation and activation. P/ATKO mice demonstrated slower cystic enlargement, improved BUN and creatinine and better survival than did PkdTKO mice. In conclusion, preventing Adamts1 upregulation following loss of tubular Pkd1 expression effectively reduced macrophage accumulation and TBM remodeling, slowing cyst growth and preserving renal function.
