Project description:We sequenced mRNAs in microdissected glomeruli and S1 proximal tubule segments and the whole remnant kidney of uninephrectomized rats.
Project description:<p>We generated primary cultures from mechanically isolated kidney glomeruli (filtration unit of the nephron) which are composed of podocytes and mesangial cells. In parallel, we generated primary kidney cortex tubule cell cultures, which are composed primarily of proximal tubule cells. Early passage cultures of these two cell types were subjected to chromatin accessibility profiling (DNase-Seq) and gene expression profiling (RNA-Seq). We found thousands of dynamically regulated enhancers in both cell types that potentially regulate nearby and distal target genes that are differentially expressed. These data will be useful for understanding the epigenomic regulation of gene transcription in key kidney cell types.</p>

Project description:Purpose: Experiments were done in mice undergoing unilateral nephrectomy (UNx) and sham nephrectomy. At specific time points (24 hours and 72 hours) after surgery, the earliest first portion of the kidney proximal tubule (PT-S1) and the cortical collecting duct (CCD) were manually micro-dissected and utilized for transcriptomic analysis by single-tubule small sample RNA-Seq and single-tubule ATAC seq. Methods: We carried out ATAC-sequencing in microdissected ealiest portion of proximal tubules (PT-S1) from mice with or without (sham) unilateral nephrectomy (UNx). Each group (Sham or UNx) has 3 biological replicates. Results and conclusion: ATAC-seq peaks in microdissected PT-S1 revealed a predominance of binding site motifs corresponding to PPARα.

Methods: We carried out RNA-sequencing in microdissected ealiest portion of proximal tubules (PT-S1) or cortical collecting duct (CCD) from mice with or without (sham) unilateral nephrectomy (UNx). Each group (Sham or UNx) has 3-5 biological replicates. Results and conclusion: RNA-Seq in microdissected PT-S1 at 24 hours showed that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) target genes were strongly upregulated. RNA-Seq in microdissected PT-S1 at 72 hours showed that cell cycle related genes were strongly upregulated. RNA-Seq in microdissected CCD at both 24 hours and 72 hours showed that cell cycle related genes were strongly upregulated.
Project description:Freshly isolated rat kidney proximal tubules were subjected for transcript profiling. Three microarray experiments were done to obtain the kidney proxmial tubule transcriptome.
Project description:Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to establish exhausted-exercise model by motorized rodent treadmill. Yu-Ping-Feng-San at doses of 2.18 g/kg was administrated by gavage before exercise training for 10 consecutive days. Quantitative proteomics was performed for assessing the related mechanism of Yu-Ping-Feng-San.
