Project description:The kidney functions in key physiological processes to filter blood and regulate blood pressure via key molecular transporters and ion channels. Sex-specific differences have been observed in renal disease incidence and progression as well as acute kidney injury in response to certain drugs. Although advances have been made in characterizing the molecular components involved in various kidney functions, the molecular mechanisms responsible for sex differences are not well understood. We hypothesized that the basal expression levels of genes involved in various kidney functions throughout the life cycle will influence sex-specific susceptibilities to adverse renal events. Untreated female F344 rats from 2, 5, 6, 8, 15, 21, 78, and 104 weeks of age (n=5) were sacrificed by CO2 asphyxiation, whole kidneys collected and homogenized, total RNA used for whole genome expression arrays (Agilent).

Project description:Sex-dependent differences in kidney function have been recognized. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these differences remain largely unexplored. Advances in genomics and proteomic technologies now allow for an extensive characterization of sex differences. In this study, the authors apply multi-omics approaches integrating RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and proteomics to investigate gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and protein expression between male and female mouse proximal tubules. This study identifies a large number of sex-biased genes and proteins associated with various kidney functions, including metabolism and transport processes. The authors demonstrate that sex differences may also arise from differences in interaction between transcription factors and accessible chromatin regions. A comprehensive web resource is provided to the research community to advance understanding of sex differences.

Project description:The global burden of chronic kidney diseases is rapidly increasing and is projected to become the fifth most common cause of years of life lost worldwide by 2040. Sexual dimorphism in kidney diseases and transplantation is well known, yet sex-specific therapeutic strategies are still missing. One reason is the lack of knowledge due to the lack of inclusion of sex as a biological variable in study designs. This work aimed at identification of molecular signatures of male and female podocytes, gate-keepers of the glomerular filtration barrier. Like cardiomyocytes, podocytes are terminally differentiated cells which are highly susceptible towards pathological challenges. Podocytes are the decisive cell-type of the kidney to maintain the physiological blood-urine barrier, and disturbances of their homeostasis critically accelerate kidney function impairment. By help of a genomic mouse model, highly purified podocytes were obtained from male and female mice with and without pharmacological challenge of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway which is known to be deregulated in major kidney diseases. Deep RNA sequencing, proteomics and metabolomics revealed strong intrinsic sex differences in the expression levels of mitochondrial, translation and structural transcripts, protein abundances and regulation of metabolic pathways which might fundamentally contribute to sex differences in kidney disease susceptibilities and progression. Remarkably, high number of previously reported kidney disease genes showed so far unknown intrinsic sexual dimorphism and/or different response patterns towards mTOR inhibition. Our work provides an in-depth database for novel targets to be tested in kidney disease models to advance with sex-specific treatment strategies.

Project description:The renin-angiotensin system is a well-known regulator of blood pressure and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and renal damage. Genetic factors, including single nucleotide polymorphisms and sex, are increasingly recognized as potential risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. Double transgenic rats (dTGR), harboring human renin and angiotensinogen genes, were used in this study to investigate potential sex differences influencing renal function and renal gene expression. dTGR males and females had comparable increases in blood pressure, whereas body weight, albuminuria/proteinuria and urine flow rate were higher in males. At eight weeks of age renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate were proportionally lower in males, and renal vascular resistance tended to be higher. Males developed more severe tubulointerstitial and vascular lesions. By the end of week eight, 40% of the males, but none of the females had died. Genome expression studies were performed with RNA from kidneys of 7-week-old male and female dTGR and control rats to further investigate the sex-related differences on a molecular level. Forty-five genes showed sex-dependent expression patterns in dTGR that were significantly different compared to controls. Cathepsin L, one of the genes differentially expressed between the sexes, was shown to be also strongly associated with the degree of renal injury. In dTGR, urinary CTSL at week 7 was higher in males (ng/24 hours: M 512 +/- 163, F 132 +/- 70). These results reveal a potential new biomarker for the personalized diagnosis and management of chronic kidney disease.

Project description:We present a single-cell perspective of healthy human kidney from 19 living donors, with equal contribution from males and females, profiling the transcriptome of 27677 high-quality cells to map healthy kidney at high resolution. Our sex-balanced dataset revealed sex-based differences in gene expression within proximal tubular cells, specifically, increased anti-oxidant metallothionein genes in females and the predominance of aerobic metabolism-related genes in males. Using CD45+ enrichment in 10 samples, we profile the immune niche of the kidney, identifying kidney-specific lymphocyte populations with unique transcriptional profiles indicative of kidney-adapted functions. We observed significant heterogeneity in resident myeloid populations and identified an MRC1+ LYVE1+ FOLR2+ C1QC+ population as the predominant myeloid population in healthy kidney. This study provides a broad cellular map of healthy human kidney, revealing novel insights into the complexity of renal parenchymal cells and kidney-resident immune populations.

Project description:Sex differences have been increasingly recognized to play an important role in kidney physiology and pathophysiology, but limited resources are available for comprehensive interrogation of sex differences. Here, we coupled renal tubule microdissection with RNA-seq and ATAC-seq with a focus on proximal tubules that exhibited the greatest sex differences and carried out whole-kidney proteomics to build a comprehensive sex difference landscape between male and female mouse kidneys. The transcriptomic data indicate that the major sex differences are in S2 and S3 of proximal tubule segments, where signaling pathways including monocarboxylic acid metabolic process, organic anion transport, and organic acid transport display the greatest differences. We develop an ATAC-seq method on microdissected tubules to capture chromatin accessibility differences between sexes. The analysis reveals that major sex differences are in autosomes instead of sex chromosomes, and many of them are in S2/S3 segments related to the signaling pathways identified by transcriptomic analysis. Motif analysis identifies several transcription factors (Tead1, Nfia/b, and Pou3f3) whose interplay with other transcription factors (e.g. Hnf1b, Hnf4a) may contribute to sex differences. Finally, whole-kidney quantitative proteomics analysis correlates with the transcriptome analysis and identifies a large number of proteins (Cyp2e1, Acsm2/3) that are sex-dependent. We develop a knowledge portal to promote our understanding of sex differences in kidneys in kidneys at https://esbl.nhlbi.nih.gov/MRECA/PT/.

Project description:Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (ESKD). Despite the usefulness of transplantation as replacement therapy, long-term graft survival represents a major challenge for transplant immunology. Although nowadays there has been an advance in understanding immunological mechanisms mediating rejection, and the improvement of immunomodulation therapies, there are still underlying molecular processes marking an important variability among patients, and presumably influencing allograft rejection. With our analysis we explored differences in gene expression by Next Generation Sequencing implementing RNA-Seq in biopsies, blood and urine from kidney transplant patients with acute and chronic rejection. For this, we performed an intra-outcome analysis simultaneously in acute and chronic rejection, with which we sought: 1. To identify differences in gene expression between peripheral blood vs renal tissue and peripheral blood vs urine in acute rejection and chronic rejection; 2. To identify the level of agreement in gene expression between renal tissue and urine in acute rejection and chronic rejection and 3. To identify genes and biological processes associated with acute rejection and chronic rejection that could be potentially detected in blood, and simultaneously in urine and biopsy in acute rejection and in chronic rejection.

Project description:The kidney vasculature is specialized to filter waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, and balance electrolytes. Although recent advances in stem cell studies have enabled the partial generation of kidney tissues in vitro, recapitulating the complex vascular structures of the kidney remains a daunting task. The molecular pathways that specify and sustain kidney vascular heterogeneity to perform these diverse tasks are not well characterized. Here, we have employed high throughput bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing of the non-lymphatic vasculature of the kidney to uncover the progression of pathways that dictate the developmental transition of nephrogenesis and vascular zonation from embryos to adulthood. We show that glomeruli and its associated vessels, manifest vascular-specific signatures expressing defined transcription factors, ion channels, solute transporters, and paracrine factors choreographing kidney functions. Notably, the ontology of the glomerulus coincides with induction of several unique transcription factors, including Tbx3, Gata5, Prdm1, and Pbx1. Selective deletion of Tbx3 in endothelial cells result in glomerular hypoplasia, microaneurysms and regressed fenestrations leading to fibrosis. Unraveling the molecular determinants of kidney vascular signatures will lay the foundation for rebuilding nephrons and understanding the pathogenesis of kidney diseases.

Project description:Aldosterone, the main mineralocorticoid hormone in humans, controls, via gene transregulation, various renal functions including water and sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion. Dysregulations in the aldosterone signaling pathway lead to renal dysfunctions, including chronic kidney disease and renal fibrosis, that can be prevented or treated with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). To understand the global effects of aldosterone on the human renal transcriptome, and how it is antagonized by the MRAs spironolactone and finerenone, we used RNA-sequencing on a human kidney cells HK-GFP-hMR. Our data provide the first complete transcriptome for aldosterone on a human renal cell line and support at the RNA level the benefit of finerenone for the treatment of kidney injury and fibrosis.

Project description:Various renal abnormalities including hydronephrosis, polycystic and hydroureter had been reported and these symptoms are present in DiGeorge syndrome, polycystic kidney disease, renal dysplasia and acute kidney failure. However, major target genes of renal abnormalities are not elucidated yet. Previous studies have reported that abnormal calcium homeostasis causes renal disease and calcium homeostasis is regulated by calcium channel. In this study, we focus on Ahnak that regulates calcium homeostasis. Ahnak is expressed in intra-cellular locations such as plasma membrane and cytoplasm. Ahnak plays a role in diverse processes as blood-brain barrier formation, cell structure, migration, calcium channel regulation, and tumor metastasis. Ahnak localization was confirmed in developing mouse kidney and ureter. Imbalance of calcium homeostasis and hydronephrosis which is expanded renal pelvis and hydroureter were observed in Ahnak KO mouse. Moreover, peristalsis movement of smooth muscle in ureter has reduced in Ahnak KO. These results indicated that Ahnak plays pivotal roles in kidney and ureter development and maintaining the function of urinary system. Examination of the gene expression between WT, Ahnak hetero and Ahnak KO kidney and ureter at PN1.
