Netrin-1 directs vascular patterning and maturity in the developing kidney

ABSTRACT: The kidneys intricate vascular system supports body fluid and organ homeostasis. However, little is known about how vascular architecture is established during kidney development. More specifically, how signals from the kidney influence vessel maturity and patterning remains poorly understood. Netrin-1 (Ntn1) is a secreted ligand critical for vessel and neuronal guidance. Here, we demonstrate that Ntn1 is expressed by Foxd1+ stromal progenitors in the developing kidney and conditional deletion (Foxd1GC/+;Ntn1fl/fl) results in hypoplastic kidneys with extended nephrogenesis. Wholemount 3D analyses additionally revealed the loss of a predictable vascular pattern in Foxd1GC/+;Ntn1fl/fl kidneys. As vascular patterning has been linked to vessel maturity, we investigated arterialization. Quantification of the CD31+ endothelium at E15.5 revealed no differences in metrics such as the number of branches or branch points, whereas the arterial vascular smooth muscle metrics were significantly reduced at both E15.5 and P0. In support of our observed phenotypes, whole kidney RNA-seq revealed disruptions to genes and programs associated with stromal cells, vasculature, and differentiating nephrons. Together, our findings highlight the significance of netrin-1 to proper vascularization and kidney development.

Stromal netrin-1 coordinates renal arteriogenesis and mural cell differentiation

Project description:The kidney vasculature has a complex architecture that is essential for renal function. The molecular mechanisms that direct development of kidney blood vessels are poorly characterized. We identified a regionally-restricted, stroma-derived signaling molecule, netrin-1 (Ntn1), as a regulator of renal vascular patterning. Stromal progenitor (SP)-specific ablation of netrin-1 (Ntn1SPKO) resulted in smaller kidneys with fewer glomeruli, as well as profound defects of the renal artery and transient blood flow disruption. Notably, Ntn1 ablation resulted in loss of arterial vascular smooth muscle cell (vSMC) coverage and in ectopic SMC deposition at the kidney surface. This was accompanied by dramatic reduction of arterial tree branching that perdured postnatally. Transcriptomic analysis of Ntn1SPKO kidneys revealed dysregulation of vSMC differentiation, including downregulation of Klf4 which we find expressed in a subset of SPs. Stromal Klf4 deletion similarly resulted in decreased smooth muscle coverage and arterial branching, however without the disruption of renal artery patterning and perfusion seen in Ntn1SPKO. These data suggest a stromal Ntn1-Klf4 axis that regulates stromal differentiation, and reinforce stromal-derived smooth muscle as a key regulator of renal blood vessel formation.

Netrin-1 engineered endothelial cell exosomes induce the formation of pre-regenerative niche to accelerate peripheral nerve repair

Project description:The formation of vascular niche is pivotal during the early stage of peripheral nerve regeneration. This antecedent angiogenesis meets the nutrient requirements for subsequent rapid axon regeneration and remyelination. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of vascular niche in the regulation of peripheral nerve remain unclear. The axon guidance molecule Netrin-1 (NTN1) is widely expressed in peripheral nerves and particularly was found up-regulated in sciatic nerve stump after peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Herein, we demonstrated that NTN1-high endothelial cells (NTN1+ECs) were the critical component of vascular niche, fostering angiogenesis, axon regeneration and repair-related phenotypes. And we also found that NTN1+ECs derived exosomes (NTN1 EC-EXO) were involved in the formation of vascular niche as a critical role. Multi-omics analysis further verified that NTN1 EC-EXO carried a low-level expression of let7a-5p and activated key pathways associated with niche formation including focal adhesion, axon guidance, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and mTOR signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings suggested the potential construction of a pre-regenerative niche induced by NTN1 EC-EXO, thereby establishing a conductive microenvironment for nerve repair and facilitating the functional recovery after PNI in the early injury phase.

Gene expression of p53 null vs. p53 wild-type mouse kidneys at embryonic day 15.5

Project description:Gene expression microarray analysis was performed on E15.5 p53+/+ and p53-/- litter-matched kidneys. We have previously shown that p53 is expressed in both UB and MM lineages in the kidney, and that p53-null embryos on C57B6L background exhibit a range of congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract such as duplicated ureters, reduced nephron numbers, and compromised nephron progenitor renewal and differentiation. Here our goal was to reveal the p53 transcriptome in mouse embryonic kidneys at E15.5.

Restoring bone marrow niche function rejuvenates aged hematopoietic stem cells by reactivating the DNA Damage Response [1]

Project description:The bone marrow (BM) niche comprised of BM endothelial cells (BMECs) and LepR+ mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), plays a critical role in preserving the fitness of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Aging is associated with defects in the BM niche that impair their ability to support HSC activity. However, mechanisms underlying age-related defects in the BM niche remain poorly understood. In this study, we identify BM niche derived Netrin-1 (NTN1) as a critical regulator of BM niche cell fitness during aging. Conditional deletion of NTN-1 specifically within BM MSCs or BMECs of young mice resulted in premature aging phenotypes within the BM niche including increased vascular leakiness, hypoxia, DNA damage and adiposity. On the other hand, supplementation of aged mice with NTN1 resulted in restoration of these hallmark niche defects and a rejuvenation of HSC activity. Mechanistically, we identify NTN1 as a critical regulator of DNA Damage Response (DDR) within BM niche cells and HSCs. In this experiment, RNA Seq analysis was performed on BM MSCs and BMECs following conditional deletion of NTN1 within BMECs or MSCs to characterize transcriptional alterations within BM niche cells resulting from a deficiency of niche derived NTN1.
