中文摘要
总结:
肾脏的远端肾单位对尿液浓缩和电解质稳态具有重要功能。
远端肾单位特定节段的缺陷可引起各种肾脏疾病,如作为盐丢失
以不能浓缩尿液为特征的肾小管病。所有的肾单位都是在小鼠体内形成的
但远端肾单位的全部功能只有在随后的移植后才能实现。
成熟期,在此期间远端肾单位经历显著的生长和功能变化。 的
远端肾单位的成熟在很大程度上尚未研究,并且不知道是哪些分子和细胞
驱动远端肾单位成熟的机制。 在这里,我们将研究分子机制,
协调远端肾单位的成熟。
我们已经鉴定了含有BTB-100结构域的核蛋白KCTD 1,一种转录抑制因子,

英文摘要
SUMMARY:
The distal nephron of the kidney has essential functions for urine concentration and electrolyte homeostasis.
Defects in specific segments of the distal nephron can cause various kidney diseases, such as salt-losing
tubulopathies that are characterized by an inability to concentrate urine. All nephrons are formed in the mouse
by ~P3 postnatally, but the full functional capacity of the distal nephron is only achieved after a subsequent
maturation phase, during which the distal nephron undergoes significant growth and functional changes. The
maturation of the distal nephron has remained largely unstudied and it is not known which molecular and cellular
mechanisms drive distal nephron maturation. Here, we will investigate the molecular mechanisms that
orchestrate distal nephron maturation.
We have identified the BTB-domain containing nuclear protein KCTD1, a transcriptional repressor, as an
essential regulator of distal nephron maturation, for which a function in the kidney was previously unknown. We
found KCTD1 to be expressed only in the distal nephron epithelium in the kidney and show that its deficiency
impairs maturation and function of the thick ascending limb of Henle and the distal convoluted tubule, resulting
in an early-onset salt-losing tubulopathy with a diminished ability to concentrate urine. The immature tubules
undergo progressive dilatation and form enlarging cysts, changes leading to late-onset kidney fibrosis and renal
failure. Inducible inactivation of KCTD1 during the distal nephron maturation phase leads to these distal tubule
defects, but not when KCTD1 is inactivated in fully matured kidneys. Importantly, we identified missense
mutations in KCTD1 in patients that develop kidney abnormalities resembling the findings in KCTD1 null mice,
establishing the clinical relevance of KCTD1 for human kidney functions. Mechanistically, we show that loss of
KCTD1 leads to postnatal derepression of the nuclear protein DAPL1 which precedes the manifestation of the
distal nephron maturation defect and is associated with loss of the Wnt/planar cell polarity protein Dvl2 and
increased canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Furthermore, we show that DAPL1 regulates primary human distal
nephron epithelial cell differentiation. Here, we will investigate the molecular mechanisms of how KCTD1 and
DAPL1 regulate distal nephron maturation. Our proposed experiments are highly innovative and have
significant clinical relevance, as they aim to uncover fundamental new mechanisms that are required for distal
nephron maturation and which are impaired in several kidney disorders. Moreover, we will investigate how
defects in distal nephron maturation affect late-onset chronic kidney disease-like pathologies and cystic kidney
disease. The scientific premise for this application is strong and builds on extensive preliminary data, mouse
models that have already been established in our laboratory, and a primary human TAL/DCT cell culture system
for which the feasibility of the proposed experiments has been clearly established.
