Project description:This study was designed to simulate the effect of hyperglycemia on the proximal tubule. This portion of the kidney is responsible for reabsorption of the filtered glucose, and thus, the amount reabsorbed is not regulated by insulin. A long-term exposure was designed to model aspects of renal demise seen in diabetes. We utilized mortal cultures of human renal tubule epithelial cells isolated from renal cortical tissue. Since the majority of these cells express the cell surface marker CD133, these cells can be used as a model for the progenitor cells that repopulate the nephron after a toxic insult. The outcome of the current study is that the lysosomal genes and mTOR were repressed.

Project description:To further explore differentially expressed genes in high glucose-induced renal tubular fibrosis cells, we used whole transcriptome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with a potential role in the high glucose-induced renal fibrosis process. Low-glucose stimulation (5.5 mM glucose) and high-glucose stimulation (25 mM glucose) of human renal tubular HK2 cells identified a consensus profile of 644 highly expressed genes to distinguish high-glucose fibrotic renal tubules from control samples.

Project description:A major obstacle in diabetes is the metabolic or hyperglycemic memory, which lacks specific therapies. Here we show that glucose-mediated changes in gene expression largely persist in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) despite reversing hyperglycemia. The senescence-associated cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 (Cdkn1a) was the top hit among genes persistently induced by hyperglycemia and was associated with induction of the p53-p21 pathway. Persistent p21 induction was confirmed in various animal models, human samples and in vitro models. Tubular and urinary p21-levels were associated with DKD severity and remained elevated despite improved blood glucose levels in humans. Mechanistically, glucose-induced and sustained tubular p21 expression is linked to demethylation of its promoter and reduced DNMT1 expression. Exploiting signaling of the disease resolving protease activated protein C (3K3A-aPC, parmodulin-2) reversed sustained tubular p21 expression, tubular senescence, and DKD. Thus, p21-dependent tubular senescence is a pathway contributing to the hyperglycemic memory, which can be therapeutically targeted.

Project description:The Hippo/YAP pathway plays a critical role in early embryonic kidney development, but its functions in the adult kidney are less well understood. Our previous work has demonstrated that tubular YAP activation induced by double knockout of the upstream Hippo kinases Mst1 and Mst2 (Mst1/2 dKO) promotes tubular injury and renal inflammation under basal conditions. However, the importance of tubular YAP activation remains to be established in injured kidneys in which many other injurious pathways are simultaneously activated. Several secreted factors were found to be increased by YAP in tubular cells, but how the transcriptional network is altered by YAP is largely unknown. Here, we show that tubular YAP was already activated at 6 h after unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). Tubular YAP deficiency greatly attenuated tubular cell over-proliferation, tubular injury and renal inflammation induced by UUO or cisplatin. RNA-Seq, ChIP and luciferase assay revealed that YAP promoted the transcription of the transcription factor KLF5 whereas no interaction between YAP and KLF5 was observed. Consistently, the elevated expression of KLF5 and its target genes in Mst1/2 dKO or UUO kidneys was blocked by ablation of Yap in tubular cells. Inhibition of KLF5 prevented tubular cell over-proliferation, tubular injury and renal inflammation in Mst1/2 dKO kidneys. Therefore, our results demonstrate that tubular YAP is a key player in kidney injury. YAP and KLF5 form a transcriptional cascade, in which tubular YAP activation induced by kidney injury promotes KLF5 transcription. Activation of this cascade induces tubular cell over-proliferation, tubular injury and renal inflammation

Project description:Intragraft transcriptional profiles were investigated in patients with tubular dysfunction to disclose subclinical mechanisms underlying graft deterioration. Moreover, we analyzed whether individualization of immunosuppression could modify this profile while improving renal function after 12 months of regimen modification. 33 renal transplant patients were enrolled in the study considering their high urinary levels of retinol binding protein, a biomarker of proximal tubular dysfunction (PTD). They were divided in two groups regarding immunosuppressive therapy. At time zero (t0), 33 patients were biopsied and 18 patients had their immunosuppression regimen modified, namely, reduction of cyclosporine dosage and introduction of mycophenolate mofetil (MYF), while 15 patients remained under azathioprine (AZA) schema. All patients were followed-up for 12 months (t12) and then re-biopsied. Microarray experiments were performed using biopsies from 17 patients. Molecular changes due to elevated uRBP levels and immunosuppressive therapies were interpreted via transcriptional network analysis. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

Project description:Kidney damage involves the progressive and inexorable destruction of tubular and glomerular system. However, it is known that the patients survive AKI often recover renal structure and function. Correspondingly, previous studies demonstrated tubular regeneration in mice after massive kidney injury and linked mouse Sox9+ renal progenitor cells to this process. Here we show that renal progenitor cells can be cloned from renal needle biopsy sample of CKD patients. Progenitor cells can readily assembly into “kidney organoids” expressing proximal/distal tubular cell markers in 3D culture.

However, it is known that the patients survive AKI often recover renal structure and function. Correspondingly, previous studies demonstrated tubular regeneration in mice after massive kidney injury and linked mouse Sox9+ renal progenitor cells to this process. Here we show that progenitor cells can be cloned from mouse medulla and cortex. Clones can be grown from a single cell and indefinitely passaged. Progenitor cells derived from renal medulla can readily assembly into “kidney organoids” expressing proximal/distal tubular cell markers in 3D culture.

Project description:The mechanistic target of rapamycin mTORC1 is a key regulator of cell metabolism and autophagy. Despite widespread clinical use of mTOR inhibitors, the role of mTORC1 in renal tubular function and kidney homeostasis remains elusive. By utilizing constitutive and inducible deletion of conditional Raptor alleles in renal tubular epithelial cells, we discovered that mTORC1 deficiency caused a marked concentrating defect, loss of tubular cells and slowly progressive renal fibrosis. Transcriptional profiling revealed that mTORC1 maintains renal tubular homeostasis by controlling mitochondrial metabolism and biogenesis as well as transcellular transport processes involved in counter-current multiplication and urine concentration. Although mTORC2 partially compensated the loss of mTORC1, exposure to ischemia and reperfusion injury exaggerated the tubular damage in mTORC1-deficient mice, and caused pronounced apoptosis, diminished proliferation rates and delayed recovery. These findings identify mTORC1 as an essential regulator of tubular energy metabolism and as a crucial component of ischemic stress responses. Pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1 likely affects tubular homeostasis, and may be particularly deleterious if the kidney is exposed to acute injury. Furthermore, the combined inhibition of mTORC1 and mTORC2 may increase the susceptibility to renal damage. Raptor fl/fl*KspCre and Raptor fl/fl animals were sacrificed at P14 before the development of an overt functional phenotype. Kidneys were split in half and immediately snap frozen in liquid nitrogen.

Project description:The past decade revealed that cell identity changes, such as dedifferentiation or transdifferentiation, accompany the insulin-producing β-cell decay in most diabetes conditions. Mapping and controlling the mechanisms governing these processes is thus extremely valuable for managing the disease progression. Extracellular glucose is known to impact cell identity by impacting the redox balance. Here we use global proteomics and pathway analysis to map the response of differentiating human pancreatic progenitors to chronically increased in vitro glucose levels. We show that exogenous high glucose levels impact different protein subsets in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast, regardless of concentration, high exogenous glucose elicits an antipodal effect on the proteome landscape, inducing both beneficial and detrimental changes in regard to achieving the desired islet cell fingerprint. Furthermore, we identified that only a subgroup of these effects and pathways are regulated by changes in redox balance. Our study highlights a complex yin-yang action of exogenous glucose on differentiating pancreas progenitors with a distinct proteome signature.
