Project description:The long term goal is to create an encyclopaedia of podocyte gene expression both in homeostasis, development and disease. Podocytes are identified by their expression of an eGFPL10a fusion protein whose expression is driven by a Col1a1 promoter fragment. Podocyte-specific RNA is generated by eGFP-affinity purification of polysomes and then subject to microarray analysis. Expression profiling of wild type and Actinin 4 point mutant knock-in kidney podocytes by TRAP. Col1a1-eGFPL10a mice were crossed against Actn4+/tm1.1Plk (KI) mice. Wild-type or KI mice were subject to TRAP at the following time points: 2, 5 and 44 weeks.

Project description:Background: Maintenance of the kidney filtration barrier requires coordinated interactions between podocytes and the underlying glomerular basement membrane (GBM). GBM ligands bind podocyte integrins to trigger actin-based signaling events critical for adhesion. Nck1/2 adaptors have emerged as essential regulators of podocyte cytoskeletal dynamics. However, the precise signaling mechanisms mediated by Nck1/2 in podocytes remain to be fully elucidated. Methods: We generated podocytes deficient in Nck1 and Nck2, and used transcriptomic approaches to profile expression differences. We further applied proteomic techniques to identify specific binding partners for Nck1 and Nck2 in podocytes. We used cultured podocytes and mice deficient in Nck1 and/or Nck2 along with podocyte injury models to comprehensively verify our findings. Results: Compound loss of Nck1/2 resulted in altered expression of genes involved in actin binding, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix composition. Accordingly, Nck1/2-deficient podocytes showed defects in actin organization and cell adhesion in vitro, with podocyte detachment and altered GBM morphology present in vivo. We identified distinct interactomes for Nck1 and Nck2, and uncovered a mechanism by which Nck1 and Nck2 cooperate to regulate actin bundling and integrin activation at focal adhesions via α-actinin-4. Furthermore, we found that loss of either Nck1 or Nck2 resulted in increased matrix deposition in vivo, with more prominent defects in Nck2 deficient mice, consistent with enhanced susceptibility to podocyte injury. Conclusion: These findings highlight distinct yet complementary roles for Nck proteins in regulating podocyte adhesion, controlling GBM composition and sustaining filtration barrier integrity.

Project description:Podocytes form filtration barrier through foot process around glomerualar basement membrane and selectively permit permeability of molecular smaller than albumin. Diabetes can cause podocyte pathological changes leading to high urine albumin level. Diabetic mouse model OVE26 has extremly high urine albumin and previously studies indicated its podocyte damaged. Here we try to find the key genes change in OVE26 diabetic mouse model podocyte by microarray assay while normal FVB mouse podocyte set as control. Podocyte eGFP transgenic mice were made on FVB background and crossbred to OVE26 diabetic model. Glomeruli isolated from OVE-GFP mice were digested by trypsin into signal cell. Podocytes with GFP were sorting out by FACS.

Project description:The progression of proteinuric kidney disease is associated with podocyte loss but the mechanisms remain unclear. Podocytes reenter the cell cycle to repair damaged ds DNA breaks. However, unsuccessful repair results in podocytes crossing the G1/S checkpoint and undergoes abortive cytokinesis. In this study, we identified Pfn1 as a major contributor in maintaining glomerular integrity and its loss in mice results in severe proteinuria, and kidney failure due to podocyte mitotic catastrophe, characterized by abundant multinucleated cells. Reentry of podocytes were identified by using FUCCI-2aR mice, accompanying the alteration of cell-cycle associated proteins, such as P21, P53, Cyclin B, and Cyclin D. Podocyte-specific translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) and RNAseq revealed a reduction of Ribosomal RNA-processing protein 8 (Rrp8) and re-expression of Rrp8 partially rescued the in-vitro phenotype. Clinical analysis of patients with proteinuric kidney disease demonstrated multinucleated podocytes and reduced podocyte profilin1 in kidney tissue. These results suggest that profilin is indispensible in regulating podocyte cell cycle and its disruption contributes to podocyte loss through mitotic catastrophe.

Project description:Podocyte injury is involved in the onset and progression of various kidney diseases. We previously demonstrated that the transcription factor, old astrocyte specifically induced substance (OASIS) in myofibroblasts, contributes to kidney fibrosis, as a novel role of OASIS in the kidneys. Importantly, we found that OASIS is also expressed in podocytes; however, the pathophysiological significance of OASIS in podocytes remains unknown. Upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment, there is an increase in OASIS in murine podocytes. Enhanced serum creatinine levels and tubular injury, but not albuminuria and podocyte injury, are attenuated upon podocyte-restricted OASIS knockout in LPS-treated mice, as well as diabetic mice. The protective effects of podocyte-specific OASIS deficiency on tubular injury are mediated by protein kinase C iota (PRKCI/PKCι), which is negatively regulated by OASIS in podocytes. Furthermore, podocyte-restricted OASIS transgenic mice show tubular injury and tubulointerstitial fibrosis, with severe albuminuria and podocyte degeneration. Finally, there is an increase in OASIS-positive podocytes in the glomeruli of patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome and diabetic nephropathy. Taken together, OASIS in podocytes contributes to podocyte and/or tubular injury, in part through decreased PRKCI. The induction of OASIS in podocytes is a critical event for the disturbance of kidney homeostasis.

Project description:The specialized glomerular epithelial cell (podocyte) of the kidney is a complex cell that is often damaged in glomerular diseases. Study of this cell type is facilitated by an in vitro system of propagation of conditionally immortalized podocytes. Here, genes that are differentially expressed in this in vitro model of podocyte differentiation are evaluated. Conditionally immortalized undifferentiated mouse podocytes were cultured under permissive conditions at 33*C. Podocytes that were differentiated at the non-permissive conditions at 37*C were used for comparison.

Project description:We compared mRNA profiles of isolated glomeruli versus sorted podocytes between diabetic and control mice. IRG mice crossed with eNOS-/- mice were further bred with podocin-rTTA and TetON-Cre mice to permanently label podocytes before the diabetic injury. Diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin. mRNA profiles of isolated glomeruli and sorted podocytes from diabetic and control mice at 10 weeks after induction of diabetes were examined. Consistent with the previous reports, expression of podocyte-specific markers in the glomeruli were down-regulated in the diabetic mice compared to controls. However, these differences disappeared when mRNA levels were corrected for podocyte number per glomerulus. Interestingly, the expression of these markers was not altered in sorted podocytes from diabetic mice, suggesting that the reduced expression of podocyte markers in isolated glomeruli is likely a secondary effect of reduced podocyte number, rather than the loss of differentiation markers. Analysis of the differentially expressed genes in diabetic mice also revealed distinct up-regulated pathways in the glomeruli (mitochondrial function and oxidative stress) and podocytes (actin organization). In conclusion, our data suggest that podocyte-specific gene expression in transcriptome obtained from the whole glomeruli may not represent those of podocytes in the diabetic kidney. We compared mRNA profiles of isolated glomeruli versus sorted podocytes between diabetic and control mice.

Project description:The change of mRNA expression in murine immortalized podocyte were analyzed after miR-26a silencing. These results provide a basical information of molecular pathology in podocyte biology. Mouse podocytes immortalized by temperature sensitive SV40 were used. Podocyte cultures grown at 33 °C were trypsinized and then cultured with RPMI-1640 without antibiotics in 24-well plates at 60–70% confluence for 2 days. On day 3, an anti-miR negative control (40 pmol) or the miR-26a miRNA inhibitor (40 pmol) was transfected to podocytes. The cells were analyzed after culturing for 24 hour.

Project description:Kidney podocytes and their slit diaphragms contribute to prevent urinary protein loss. T cell from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus display increased expression of calcium/calmodulin kinase IV (CaMKIV). Here we evaluated the functional role of CaMKIV in lupus nephritis (LN) using kidney biopsy specimens and human podocyte cell line (AB8/13). We found that exposure of podocytes to IgG from LN patients resulted in entry of IgG into the cytoplasm. CaMKIV expression was found to be increased in podocytes of LN kidney biopsy specimens and exposure to IgG from LN patients. IgG entered podocytes using the FcRn receptor because when podocytes where treated with FcRn siRNA less IgG was found in the cytoplasm. The DNA microarray studies of podocytes exposed to LN IgG revealed that genes that are related to the activation of immune cells or podocyte damage were upregulated. These genes included CD86, CaMKIV, PTPN22, PDE5A, CD47 and MALT1. Interestingly, CD86 expression decreased after silencing CaMKIV in podocytes. Also, in situ hybridization experiments showed that the expression of CD86 was reduced in podocytes from MRL/lpr.camkivM-bM-^HM-^R/M-bM-^HM-^R mice. IgG from LN patients may enter podocytes through the FcRn and causes the upregulation of a distinct set of genes which may alter podocyte function. Upregulation of CaMKIV appears to precede that of genes known to be linked to podocyte damage such as CD86. These findings may indicate that inhibition of CaMKIV may prove of clinical use in patients with LN. IgG Purification Kits (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Inc.) are used for isolation and purification of immunoglobulin G of healthy and normal individual according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol. Flow through the column was used for non IgG binding samples. Cultured human podocytes with IgG purified from sera of normal individuals and LN patient for 24 hr were collected for RNA.

Project description:The thorough characterization of the transcriptome of endogenous podocytes has been hampered by low yields of cell isolation procedures. Here we introduce a double fluorescent reporter mouse model combined with an optimized bead perfusion protocol and efficient single cell dissociation yielding more than 500,000 podocytes per mouse allowing for global, unbiased downstream applications. Combining mRNA transcriptional profiling revealed programs of highly specific gene regulation tightly controlling cytoskeleton, cell differentiation, endosomal transport and peroxisome function in podocytes. Strikingly, the analyses further predict that these podocyte-specific gene regulatory networks are accompanied by alternative splicing of respective genes. In summary, the presented M-bM-^@M-^XomicsM-bM-^@M-^Y approach will facilitate the discovery and integration of novel gene, protein and organelle regulatory networks that deepen our systematic understanding of podocyte biology. To compare gene expression of glomerulus podocytes versus non-podocytes 5 replicates of 4 pooled mice were used. Data were normalized by robust multi-chip analysis. Exon expression values were summarised to the core meta probesets, as defined by Affymetrix, using the oligo library from R.
