Project description:Precise regulation of transduction signaling pathways genes is crucial for correct differentiation of kidney cells and perturbation may lead to tumor onset. Wilms tumors (WT), or nephroblastoma, originates from the metanephric blastema cells, which were unable to complete the differentiation, resulting in a triphasic tumor composed by distinct cell types, blastemal, epithelial and stromal, where the former harbor molecular characteristics similar to cells of the earliest stages of kidney development. In this study, to identify key early events involved in the disruption of correct cell signaling during kidney differentiation that can drive WT, we developed a cDNA platform containing genes from signaling transduction pathways. By using bioinformatics tools, we defined high conserved regions between human and mouse orthologous genes and assessed the gene modulation in blastemal cells captured from WT and differentiated kidneys (DK) in human and from four temporal stages of kidney differentiation in mouse. We found 18 genes, whose transcriptional level of the earliest phases of blastemal cell differentiation was recapitulated in WT. PAX2, FZD10, SHPK, WNT5B, FZD2, CRABP2, FRZB, GRK7, TESK1, HDGF and IGF2 were up- and MAPK9, PIK3CA, FRAT2, ITPR3, CDH6, HIPK1 and TIMP3 were down-regulated in WT respectively. Hierarchical clustering based on the expression of this gene set grouped DK from both species, human and mouse, and discriminated them from fetal kidney and WT in human, and the earliest kidney stages in mouse, validating the model proposed by this study and reveling a transduction signaling signature of WT. High robustness of this data was detected since expression level was tested by quantitative RT-PCR in the initial and independent sample set, with 75 and 56% of agreement. Agreement of 62% was also observed in protein level assessing blastemal component of an independent group of 137 WT. Protein expression of CRABP2, IGF2, GRK7, TESK1, HDGF, WNT5B, FZD2 and TIMP3 was also characterized in human fetal kidneys revealing interesting aspects of kidney differentiation. This study identified key genes modulated during kidney differentiation which may play a determinant role for WT onset. As far as we know, FZD10, FRZB, HDGF, MAPK9, FRAT2, SHPK, WNT5B, GRK7, TESK1, HDGF, PIK3CA, ITPR3, HIPK1 and TIMP3 were not previously associated to WT.

The strong connection between nephrogenesis and WT highlights the importance of a detailed characterization of modulated genes belonged to signal transduction. Identification of gene expression involved in kidney differentiation arresting might be imperative to point out early alterations that drive WT onset and consequently are potential candidate as molecular marker. Here, we characterized expression pattern of genes belonged to transduction signaling pathways in blastemal cells during kidney development stages in mouse and WT in human. For that, we established a model of inter- and intra-specific hybridization to assess gene expression modulation to identify key events that drive WT onset. Dye-swap was performed for each sample as control for dye bias and used as replicate. In total, 24 frozen favorable histology WT and differentiated kidney samples were laser microdisscted for blastemal cells. Three kidneys from CD1 lineage from Mus Musculus were isolated from embryos (E) and postnatal animals (P) at ages E15.5, E17.5, P1.5 and P7.5 for laser microdissection of the blastemal cells in all stages of kidney differentiation. NA were purified with PicoPure™ RNA Isolation kit (Arcturus Engineering #KT0204) and treated with RNase-Free DNase Set (Qiagen #79254; Qiagen-Germantown MD USA).

Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of normal kidney (n=36), nephrogenic rest (n=22) and Wilms tumour (n=37) was performed using the Illumina 450k array. Two papers were composed after analysis of this data (1) describes comparative analysis of 22 matched normal kidney-Wilms tumour pairs which identified biomarker differentially methylated regions (DMRs) that could be detected in patient blood; (2) describes comparative analysis of 20 matched trios which identified changes in methylation associated with progression from the precursor lesion towards tumourigenesis. Bisulfte converted DNA from 95 samples of normal kidney, nephrogenic rest and Wilms tumour was hybridised to Illumina HumanMethylation450 bead chips.

Project description:Gene expression analyses through cDNA microarray of unique Wilms tumor (WT) histological components, blastema (BL), epithelia (EP) and stroma (ST), from different patients were performed and compared with non-neoplastic mature and pool of fetal kidney (FK). We used a customized cDNA array containing 4 608 human genes and demonstrated that BL had over representation of genes with similar expression behavior to the earliest stage of normal renal development. Moreover, since WT is a result of loss of developmental control and gain of tumorigenic potential in a successive way, herein we identified genes whose expression level is altered during the kidney development and also in WT and classified as WT-kidney development set. From this set, a smaller group of 36 differentially expressed genes was derived, which was enriched by genes involved in signal transduction, such as APC, BZRP, MET, PLAU, GPR35 and TRADD. An over representation of genes belonging to the WNT signaling pathway were observed. Immunostaining assays of APC and beta-catenin were carried out in 108 specimens showing differential labeling localization in WT. Altogether our data show molecular evidences confirming the recapitulation of embryonic kidney by WT components and strongly suggest that the WNT signaling pathway plays a crucial role in Wilms tumorigenesis.

Project description:Purpose: The 10x Genomics Visium platform allows us to define the spatial topography of gene expression and provides detailed molecular maps that overcome limitations associated with sn/scRNA-seq and microscopy-based spatial transcriptomics methods. The goals of this study are to compare and identify unique transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) signature between unfavorable and favorable Wilms Tumors and against human fetal kidney. Methods: Human fetal kidney and Wilms tumor spatial topography of gene expression were generated using the 10X Visium platform Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped the reads to the hg38 genome build and grouped the spots into 9 clusters based on gene expression profiles. Conclusion: Our study represents the first implement of Visium technology in human fetal kidney and Wilms Tumor tissue, providing a number of important functional insights about the spatial and molecular definitions of cell populations across human fetal kidney and different subtypes of Wilms Tumor through analyzing gene expression within the intact spatial organization of the human samples.

Project description:Expression profiling of Wilms tumour samples, which identified molecular signatures of the ureteric bud and collecting duct as well as those of the proximal and distal tubules in triphasic histology tumours. These observations indicate Wilms tumours can arise from a precursor cell capable of generating the entire kidney, such as the cells of the intermediate mesoderm from which both the metanephric mesenchym and ureteric bud are derived.
