Project description:The specific contribution of the two TNF-receptors Tnfr1 and Tnfr2 to TNF-induced inflammation in the glomerulus is unknown. In mice, TNF exposure induces glomerular expression of inflammatory mediators like adhesion molecules and chemokines in vivo, and glomerular accumulation of leukocytes. To examine Tnfr-specific inflammatory responses in intrinsic glomerular cells but not infiltrating leukocytes we performed microarray gene expression profiling on intact glomeruli isolated from wild-type and Tnfr-deficient mice following TNF exposure in vitro. Glomeruli were isolated from male C57BL/6J wild-type and Tnfr-deficient mice applying a magnetic bead-based isolation technique. Isolated intact glomeruli were stimulated with TNF for 12 hours in vitro for subsequent RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Alteration of fetal kidney morphogenesis in diabetic pregnancies is poorly described, especially changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and glomerular basement membrane (GBM) during glomerulogenesis. Addressing the ECM proteome, or matrisome, in mouse fetal glomeruli in a healthy and diabetic environment will improve understanding about the association between ECM and GBM changes in the glomerulus as potential reprogramming mechanisms for glomerular dysfunction in infants of mothers with diabetes. This project aimed to define the matrisome and BM composition in the maturing murine fetal glomeruli collected from normal and diabetic mothers. For this, we used laser microdissection microscopy to isolate maturing glomeruli from cryosections, and analyse by label-free tandem mass spectrometry to test the hypothesis that maternal diabetes influences ECM and GBM composition, assembly and function.

Project description:Here, we used Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) to describe the glomerular transcriptomic signatures that may characterize the complex molecular mechanisms underlying progressive kidney disease in Alport syndrome, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and membranous nephropathy. Our results revealed significant transcriptional heterogeneity among diseased glomeruli, and this analysis showed that histologically similar glomeruli manifested different transcriptional profiles. Using glomerular pathology scores to establish an axis of progression, we identified molecular pathways that progressively decreased with increasing pathology scores, including Signal Recognition Particle-dependent co-translational protein targeting to membrane and selenocysteine synthesis pathways. We also identified a distinct signature of upregulated and downregulated genes common to all the diseases investigated when compared to non-diseased tissue from nephrectomies. These analyses using DSP at the single glomerulus level could help to gain insight into the pathophysiology of kidney disease

Project description:The Wilms tumor-suppressor gene WT1, a key player in renal development, also has a crucial role in maintenance of the glomerulus in the mature kidney. However, molecular pathways orchestrated by WT1 in podocytes, where it is highly expressed, remain unknown. Their defects are thought to modify the cross-talk between podocytes and other glomerular cells and ultimately lead to glomerular sclerosis, as observed in diffuse mesangial sclerosis (DMS) a nephropathy associated with WT1 mutations. To identify podocyte WT1 targets, we generated a novel DMS mouse line, performed gene expression profiling in isolated glomeruli, and identified excellent candidates that may modify podocyte differentiation and growth factor signalling in glomeruli. Scel, encoding sciellin, a protein of the cornified envelope in the skin, and sulf1, encoding a 6-O endosulfatase, are shown to be expressed in wild type podocytes and to be strongly down-regulated in mutants. Co-expression of Wt1, Scel and Sulf1 was also found in a mesonephric cell line, and siRNA-mediated knockdown of WT1 decreased Scel and Sulf1 mRNAs and proteins. By ChIP we show that Scel and Sulf1 are direct WT1 targets. Cyp26a1, encoding an enzyme involved in the degradation of retinoic acid, is shown to be up-regulated in mutant podocytes. Cyp26a1 may play a role in the development of glomerular lesions but does not seem to be regulated by WT1. These results provide novel clues in our understanding of normal glomerular function and early events involved in glomerulosclerosis. Experiment Overall Design: Isolation of glomeruli from mutant (FVB-N4 Wt1+/R394W) and wild-type (FVB-N4 Wt1+/+) was performed after cardiac Dynabead perfusion. GeneChip analysis of glomeruli from 5 Wt1+/R394W mice and 5 Wt1+/+ littermates (N4-FVB) were performed independently. Animals were unweaned 27-day-old males. The Wt1+/R394W mice used were showing little albuminuria (<3 ug/ul on Coomassie blue stained SDS-PAGE gel) and no evidence of mesangial lesions by light microscopy.

Project description:The pediatric immune deficiency X-linked proliferative disease-2 (XLP-2) is a unique disease, with patients presenting with either hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) or intestinal bowel disease (IBD). Interestingly, XLP-2 patients display high levels of IL-18 in the serum even while in stable condition, presumably through spontaneous inflammasome activation. Recent data suggests that LPS stimulation can trigger inflammasome activation through a TNFR2/TNF/TNFR1 mediated loop in xiap−/− macrophages. Yet, the direct role TNFR2-specific activation plays in the absence of XIAP is unknown. We found TNFR2-specific activation leads to cell death in xiap−/− myeloid cells, particularly in the absence of the RING domain. RIPK1 kinase activity downstream of TNFR2 resulted in a TNF/TNFR1 cell death, independent of necroptosis. TNFR2-specific activation leads to a similar inflammatory NF-kB driven transcriptional profile as TNFR1 activation with the exception of upregulation of NLRP3 and caspase-11. Activation and upregulation of the canonical inflammasome upon loss of XIAP was mediated by RIPK1 kinase activity and ROS production. While both the inhibition of RIPK1 kinase activity and ROS production reduced cell death, as well as release of IL-1β, the release of IL-18 was not reduced to basal levels. This study supports targeting TNFR2 specifically to reduce IL-18 release in XLP-2 patients and to reduce priming of the inflammasome components.

Project description:We compared the gene expression analysis of 2 different glomerular isolation techniques (laser capture microdissection with 2 rounds of RNA amplification and unamplified glomerular RNA after iron perfusion with glomerular sieving) and obtained different results depending on the glomerular isolation technique that was used Experiment Overall Design: Paired kidneys from Lewis-Hsd rat kidneys were collected. The glomeruli of one kidney was obtained by LCM with 2 rounds of RNA amplification while the unamplified glomerular RNA of the contralateral kidney was obtained after perfusion with iron oxide and isolated by magnetic purification and a glomerular sieving technique. The RNA was analyzed using the Affymetrix Rat 230A microarrays.

Project description:Glomerular diseases account for the majority of cases with chronic renal failure. Several genes have been identified with key relevance for glomerular function. Quite a few of these genes show a specific or preferential mRNA expression in the renal glomerulus. To identify additional candidate genes involved in glomerular function in humans we generated a human renal glomerulus-specific transcript dataset (GTD) by comparing gene expression profiles from human glomeruli and tubulointerstitium obtained from six transplant living donors using Affymetrix HG-U133A arrays. This analysis resulted in 677 genes with prominent overrepresentation in the glomerulus. Genes with ‘a prior’i established known prominent glomerular expression served for validation and were all found in the novel expression library (e.g. CDKN1, DAG1, DDN, EHD3, MYH9, NES, NPHS1, NPHS2, PDPN, PLA2R1, PLCE1, PODXL, PTPRO, SYNPO, TCF21, TJP1, WT1). The mRNA expression for several novel glomerulus-enriched genes identified in REGGEL was validated by qRT-PCR. Gene ontology and pathway analysis identified biological processes previously not reported to be of relevance in glomeruli including among others axon guidance. This finding was further validated by assessing the expression of the axon guidance molecules neuritin (NRN1) and roundabout receptor ROBO1 and -2. Glomerular disease associated differential mRNA regulation of ROBO2 was found in diabetic nephropathy. In summary, using a comparative strategy on microdissected nephrons novel transcripts with predominant expression in the human glomerulus could be identified. A systematic analysis of this glomerulus-specifc gene expression library allows the detection of target molecules and biological processes involved in glomerular biology and renal disease. Sample from kidney biopsies of 6 transplant Living Donors (LD) were microdissected into tubular and glomerular compartment and separately hybridized an Affymetrix HG-U133A microarrays. Background correction and quantile normalization was ferformed using RMAexpress Version 0.3 as part of a dataset of 88 samples for glomeruli and 84 samples for tubuli. All data are reported in log2 scale. A background filter cut-off was defined to lower the count of false positive calls using the highest signal value obtained from non-human Affymetrix control oligonucleotides multiplied by a factor of 1.2, following previous studies: Schmid H, Boucherot A, Yasuda Y, et al.: Modular activation of nuclear factor-kappaB transcriptional programs in human diabetic nephropathy. Diabetes 55:2993-3003, 2006 A linear model was fit to compensate differences in expression due to separate sample processing of the compartments. Subsequently, genes were selected based on foldchange.

Project description:The kidney governs many physiological factors of the body, and the glomerulus is its core filtration unit. Glomeruli comprise of less than 1.5% of the kidney’s volume and thus are underrepresented in many analyses of the kidney, and require particular isolation methods. Aging is a major risk factor for kidney disease, yet despite the importance of proper glomerular function, we have limited knowledge of the changes that glomerular cells undergo during aging. Here we interrogate the aged mouse kidney, glomerulus and glomerular cells using various approaches, including single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq), to identify age and senescence associated changes at the tissue and cellular level. We show that the aged kidney and glomerulus undergo structural changes, including increased fibrosis, glomerulonephritis and expression of injury and senescence-associated markers. Lastly, we utilized our method for high-throughput analysis of mouse glomeruli to characterize cell-specific and age-related changes in glomerular cells. This analysis revealed a senescence-associated phenotype in aged mesangial cells, and emphasized the potential importance of mesangial cells and macrophages in this niche. Our study provides insights into the molecular and cellular changes of the aging glomerulus that suggest therapeutic targets for age-related renal dysfunction.
