Project description:Tubuloid culture allows long-term expansion of primary human renal epithelium. However, the progenitor state in expanding tubuloids comes at expense of differentiation, which limits application. To improve differentiation, we developed niche-inspired culture conditions. A single cell atlas revealed that differentiation predominantly generated ascending limb of Henle and principal cells. Using differentiated tubuloids, we subsequently modeled lithium nephropathy in vitro, and performed single-cell RNA sequencing to look at the transcriptional effects caused by lithium. We found that lithium suppresses electrolyte and solute transporters in multiple cell types and induces a progenitor state in kidney tubuloids.

Project description:p53 limits the self-renewing ability of a variety of stem cells. Here, contrary to its classical role in restraining cell proliferation, we demonstrate a divergent function of p53 in maintenance of self-renewal of the nephron progenitor population in the embryonic mouse kidney. p53-null nephron progenitor cells (NPC) exhibit progressive loss of the self-renewing progenitor niche in the cap mesenchyme, identified by Cited1 and Six2 expression, and loss of cap integrity. Nephron endowment is regulated by NPC availability and their differentiation to nephrons. Quantitatively, the Six2p53-/- cap has 30% fewer Six2GFP+ cells. While the apoptotic index is unchanged the proliferation index is significantly lower, in accordance with cell cycle analysis data showing less mutant Six2p53-/-;GFP+ cells in S and G2/M phases in comparison to Six2p53+/+;GFP+ cells. The mutant kidneys also show nephron deficit and decreased Fgf8 expression. To investigate the underlying changes in gene expression in the cap mesenchyme that contribute to the Six2p53-/- phenotype, we utilized RNA-Seq for transcriptome comparison. Top biological processes affected by p53 loss are development and morphogenesis, cell adhesion/migration, cell survival and metabolism. Cells from the mutant CM showed increased cellular ROS levels as well as deregulated expression of energy metabolism and mitochondrial genes suggesting metabolic dysfunction. Adhesion defects are visualized by decreased immunostaining of adhesion marker NCAM, and may possibly contribute to the differentiation defect as well. Altogether our data suggest a novel role for p53 in enabling self-renewal of the NPC and preservation of the progenitor niche, and thus regulating nephron endowment. mRNA profiles of wild-type (WT) and conditional p53 knockout (KO) of Six2+ mouse nephron progenitor cells (NPC) at embryonic day 15.5

Project description:Nephron progenitor cells (NPCs) self-renew and differentiate into nephrons, the functional units of the kidney. Here we report manipulation of p38 and YAP activity creates a synthetic niche that allows the long-term clonal expansion of primary mouse and human NPCs, and induced NPCs (iNPCs) from human pluripotent stem cells. Cultured iNPCs resemble closely primary human NPCs, generating nephron organoids with abundant distal convoluted tubule cells, which are not observed in published kidney organoids. The synthetic niche reprograms differentiated nephron cells into NPC state, recapitulating the plasticity of developing nephron in vivo. Scalability and ease of genome-editing in the cultured NPCs allow for genome-wide CRISPR screening, identi-fying novel genes associated with kidney development and disease. A rapid, efficient, and scala-ble organoid model for polycystic kidney disease was derived directly from genome-edited NPCs, and validated in drug screen. These technological platforms have broad applications to kidney development, disease, plasticity, and regeneration.

Project description:We developed novel chemically defined recipe media named NPSR-v2, that was capable of expanding mouse and human nephron progenitor cells (NPC) for long term culture in vitro in 2D (2 Dimension) format. NPSR-v2 and these expanded NPC can be used for versatile application, such as reprograming, whole genome-wide CRISPR screen, kidney-associated disease modeling and library drug screening etc.

Project description:During development, nephron progenitor forming one million nephrons, a functional unit in the kidney. However, nephron progenitor ceases before birth in human when they terminally differentiated to the nephron. Our lab established the method for induction of nephron progenitors from mouse Embryonic Stem (ES) cells and/or human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs) (Taguchi et al., Cell Stem Cell. 2014, 2017). For application of induced nephron progenitors to regenerative medicine, a large number of cells are required such as disease modeling and drug screening. To selectively propagate human iPS-derived nephron progenitors in vitro in an undifferentiated state, we developed SIX2-GFP iPS line and optimized culture condition of induced nephron progenitors by modifying our previously developed condition (Tanigawa et al., Cell Rep. 2016). To understand how whole gene expression profiles of human iPS-derived nephron progenitor cells are changed during culture, we isolated nephron progenitor cells by FACS and cultured in our defined culture condition. Purified RNAs from cultured cells at day 7 or un-cultured nephron progenitor cells were analyzed by RNA-seq.
