Project description:Multipotent progenitor cells (MPs) have been observed in human kidneys and particularly in Bowman's capsule and proximal tubules. The kidney owns the ability to repair local damage and renal MPs may play a role in the regenerative processes. Microarray technology was applied to identify differentially expressed genes among resident MPs isolated from glomeruli and tubules of normal renal tissue, renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The results of our analysis represent a starting point for further functional studies. Experiment Overall Design: This study includes three renal tissue samples which were processed to obtain 3 glomerular progenitor populations and 3 tubular ones. Three subcoltures of MSCs and RPTECs were included as well. The differences in gene expression patterns of the 4 cell types were found out.

Project description:Adult renal stem/progenitor cells (ARPCs), first identified in the BowmanM-bM-^@M-^Ys capsule, were recently identified also in the tubular compartment and it was demonstrated that renal progenitors from both locations were positive for PAX-2, CD133 and CD24 and exhibited multipotent differentiation ability. Recent studies indicated that microRNAs (miRNAs), a class of noncoding small RNAs that participate in the regulation of gene expression, may play a key role in stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. Distinct sets of miRNAs are specifically expressed in pluripotent stem cells but not in adult tissues, suggesting a role for miRNAs in stem cell self-renewal. We compared miRNA expression profiles of renal progenitors with that of renal proximal tubular cells (RPTECs) and of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and found distinct sets of miRNAs that were specifically expressed both in tubular and glomerular ARPCs. In particular, the miR-1915 and miR-1225-5p regulated the expression of important markers of renal progenitors, such as CD133 and PAX-2, and important genes involved in the repair mechanisms of ARPCs, such as TLR2. We demonstrated that the expression of both the renal stem cell markers CD133 and PAX-2 depends, at least in part, on lower miR-1915 levels and showed that the increase of miR-1915 levels improved capacity of ARPCs to differentiate into adipocyte-like and epithelial-like cells. Finally, we found that the low levels of miR-1225-5p were responsible for high TLR2 expression in ARPCs. Therefore, together, the miR-1915 and the miR-1225-5p seems to regulate important trait of ARPCs: the stemness and the repair capacity. Sixteen samples consisting of 5 glomerular and tubular ARPCs each, 3 MSCs, and 3 RPTECS.

Project description:To clarify the effects of cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II, CDDP) on the gene expression profiles in renal proximal tubules, microarray analyses were carried out using total RNA samples isolated from microdissected proximal tubules and whole kidneys. The molecular events underlying acute kidney injury (AKI) in the proximal tubules of rats with cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity were successfully clarified with 17,000 transcripts. Renal proximal tubules were isolated under microscopy, and transcriptome data were collected with Rat Genome Survey Microarray® (Applied Biosystems)

Project description:Mammalian kidney has very limited ability to repair or regenerate after acute kidney injury (AKI). The maladaptive repair of AKI promotes the progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, it is extremely urgent to explore new strategies to promote the repair/regeneration of injured renal tubules after AKI. It has been shown that hypoxia induces heart regeneration in adult mice. However, it is unknown whether hypoxia can induce kidney regeneration after AKI. In this study, we used a prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibitor (PHDI), MK-8617, to mimic hypoxia condition and found that MK-8617 significantly ameliorates ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) induced acute kidney injury. We then showed that MK-8617 dramatically facilitates renal regeneration via promoting the proliferation of injured renal proximal tubular cells (RPTCs) after IRI-induced AKI. We then performed bulk mRNA sequencing and discovered that multiple nephrogenesis- related genes were significantly upregulated with MK-8617 pretreatment. Furthermore, we showed that MK-8617 may alleviate proximal tubule injury via stabilizing HIF-1α protein specifically in renal proximal tubular cells. We also demonstrated that MK-8617 promotes the reprogramming of renal proximal tubular cells to Sox9+ renal progenitor cells, and the regeneration of renal proximal tubules. In summary, we discovered that inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase improves renal proximal tubule regeneration after IRI-induced AKI via promoting the reprogramming of renal proximal tubular cells to Sox9+ renal progenitor cells.

Project description:The advent of micro-physiological systems (MPS) in biomedical research has enabled the introduction of more complex and relevant physiological into in vitro models. The recreation of complex morphological features in three-dimensional environments can recapitulate otherwise absent dynamic interactions in conventional models. In this study we developed an advanced in vitro Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) that mimics the interplay between healthy and malignant renal tissue. Based on the TissUse Humimic platform our model combines healthy renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTEC) and RCC. Co-culturing reconstructed RPTEC tubules with RCC spheroids in a closed micro-perfused circuit resulted in significant phenotypical changes to the tubules. Expression of immune factors revealed that interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-α) were upregulated in the non-malignant cells while neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) was downregulated in both RCC and RPTEC. Metabolic analysis revealed that RCC prompted a shift in the energy production of RPTEC tubules, inducing glycolysis, in a metabolic adaptation that likely supports RCC growth and immunogenicity. In contrast, RCC maintained stable metabolic activity, emphasizing their resilience to external factors. RNA-seq and biological process analysis of primary RTPTEC tubules demonstrated that the 3D tubular architecture and MPS conditions reverted cells to a predominant oxidative phosphorylate state, a departure from the glycolytic metabolism observed in 2D culture. This dynamic RCC co-culture model, approximates the physiology of healthy renal tubules to that of RCC, providing new insights into tumor-host interactions. Our approach can show that an RCC-MPS can expand the complexity and scope of pathophysiology and biomarker studies in kidney cancer research.

Project description:To identify maturation-dependent genes, we here performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis using developing kidneys at different stages in the mouse, followed by highly sensitive in situ hybridization. We identified multiple genes expressed abundantly in newborn kidneys, but minimally at embryonic day 15.5. We then applied these maturation markers to the transplanted embryonic kidneys and found that the maturation process did not occur equally throughout nephron segments upon transplantation: glomeruli and proximal renal tubules became more mature than the other nephron segments. Thus, our scRNA-seq data at multiple stages of kidney development and identified maturation-dependent genes will serve as useful bases for assessing maturation of the developing kidney, and eventually of kidney organoids.

Project description:Background- CINAC-patients can be identified by the recently discovered renal proximal tubular cell lysosomal lesions which are also observed in patients experiencing calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) nephrotoxicity, suggesting that CINAC is a toxin-induced nephropathy. An alternative hypothesis advocates chronic heat stress/dehydration as the major etiological factor for CINAC. Here, we evaluated in rats to what extent heat stress/dehydration reflects the renal CINAC histopathology in humans. Methods- Wistar rats were divided in 3 groups. Group 1(n=6) had free access to drinking water (control group). Group 2(n=8) was water deprived for 10 hours per 24hr, 5 days/week and placed in an incubator (37°C) for 30 min/hr during water deprivation. Group 3(n=8) underwent daily oral gavage with cyclosporine (40mg/kg body weight). After 28 days kidneys were collected for light- and electron microscopic histopathology and proteomic analysis. Results- Cyclosporine rats developed renal cortical lesions mimicking those of CINAC patients i.e. atrophic proximal tubules with associated tubulo-interstitial fibrosis. PASM staining demonstrated enlarged argyrophilic granules in the affected proximal tubules, identified as lysosomes by LAMP1 immunofluorescent staining. Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of enlarged dysmorphic lysosomes, closely mimicking the dysmorphic lysosomes seen in CINAC-patients. Dehydration was demonstrated by urinary osmolality and fluctuating body weight but showed none of the histological features of CINAC patients. Proteomic analysis confirmed cellular toxicity of cyclosporine, whereas the dehydration group lacked any of these toxicity markers. Conclusion- Dehydration/heat stress alone does not lead to the renal proximal tubular and interstitial lesions as observed in CINAC-patients. The histopathological analogy between CINAC and CNI nephrotoxicity in rats and humans and CINAC supports the toxicological etiology.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of normal and cystinotic human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs) and skin fibroblasts with and without cysteine dimethyl ester (CDME). CDME- loaded RPTECs and fibroblasts did not transcriptionally mimic the cystinotic phenotype suggesting that CDME- loading is a poor surrogate in vitro model. Results highlight marked transcriptional differences between cystinotic RPTECs and fibroblasts from the same individual. Many genes are significantly dysregulated in cystinotic RPTECs (n=1,926; FDR<0.05) and fibroblasts (n=745; FDR<0.05), with 219 overlapping genes associated with DNA integrity loss and damage. Transcriptional microarray analysis identified that the majority of cystinosis affected genes belong to one large cluster, crucial for normal lysosomal and mitochondrial function.
