Formation of the metanephric kidney requires coordinated interaction among the stroma, ureteric bud, and cap mesenchyme. The transcription factor Foxd1, a specific marker of renal stromal cells, is critical for normal kidney development. The prorenin receptor (PRR), a receptor for renin and prorenin, is also an accessory subunit of the vacuolar proton pump V-ATPase. Global loss of PRR is embryonically lethal in mice, indicating an essential role of the PRR in embryonic development. Here, we report that conditional deletion of thePRRin Foxd1+stromal progenitors in mice (cKO) results in neonatal mortality. The kidneys of surviving mice show reduced expression of stromal markers Foxd1 and Meis1 and a marked decrease in arterial and arteriolar development with the subsequent decreased number of glomeruli, expansion of Six2+nephron progenitors, and delay in nephron differentiation. Intrarenal arteries and arterioles incKOmice were fewer and thinner and showed a marked decrease in the expression of renin, suggesting a central role for the PRR in the development of renin-expressing cells, which in turn are essential for the proper formation of the renal arterial tree. We conclude that stromal PRR is crucial for the appropriate differentiation of the renal arterial tree, which in turn may restrict excessive expansion of nephron progenitors to promote a coordinated and proper morphogenesis of the nephrovascular structures of the mammalian kidney.
