Mild dehydration effects on the murine kidney single nucleus transcriptome and chromatin accessibility
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The kidney is composed of > 40 cell types that work collectively to maintain fluid-electrolyte balance. If not enough fluid is consumed to remain in balance, then vasopressin is released and acts in the kidney to increase water reabsorption. Here the authors used kidney single nucleus multiome-sequencing to determine cell-specific transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility profiles of male and female control (ad libitum water and food) or mildly dehydrated mice (ad libitum food, water deprivation). There were hundreds of sex- and dehydration-specific differentially expressed genes throughout the kidney, most of which did not have a significant change in chromatin accessibility. Thus, even mild dehydration causes cell- and sex-specific transcriptomic changes even though the kidney function to conserve water is the same.
