Nanostring CosMx 6,000-plex RNA profiling of human kidney nephrectomy specimens
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The human kidneys are comprised of multiple different cell types in a complex anatomical arragemnt that is optimal for their key functions such as waste removal, regulation of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis and production of hormones. In chronic kidney disease (CKD) this arrangement is disrupted with de-differentiation and atrophy of epithelial cells, recruitment of immune cells and activation of myofibroblasts to produce excess scarring. A better understanding of cellular phenotypes, complex intercellular communication and intracellular signaling pathways that promote CKD could lead to development of novel therapies. We applied single-cell spatial transcriptomics (CosMx Spatial molecular imaging) to human kidney neprectomy speciemens with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO, n=5) and healthy kidneys (n=2).
