英文摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY
Congenital obstructive nephropathy (CON), the most common cause of chronic kidney disease and end
stage renal disease in children, is caused by obstruction of the urinary tract during fetal development. The
most common form of CON is ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), when the blockage occurs where the
renal pelvis connects to the ureter. Despite the high medical burden, we have a poor understanding of the
molecular and genetic causes of UPJOs, with very few non-surgical animal models. Using in vitro cell models,
we have shown the eight-protein exocyst trafficking complex to be important for mechanisms of epithelial
morphogenesis. To facilitate in vivo studies of the exocyst during mammalian development, we have
generated a novel conditional knockout mouse for the exocyst subunit Sec10 using Cre-lox transgenic
technology. Targeted deletion of Sec10 in ureteric bud-derived epithelia, using our floxed-Sec10 (Sec10FL)
and the Ksp-Cre mouse strains, caused in utero bilateral UPJOs with hydronephrosis, complete anuria, and
neonatal lethality. Preliminary studies revealed Sec10FL/FL;;Ksp-Cre knockout ureter urothelium failed to
differentiate a superficial layer between gestational day 16.5 (E16.5) and E17.5. This led to urothelial cell
death and a leaky urothelial barrier against urine, with an increase in TGFb1 expression and mesenchymal cell
proliferation. By E18.5, the ureter lumen at the UPJ was obliterated due to stromal remodeling and overgrowth
of fibroblastic cells. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that exocyst trafficking is necessary to establish
a functional urothelium in embryonic ureters, and failure of the urothelial barrier activates a pathogenic wound
healing response that rapidly occludes the ureter lumen. We will test this hypothesis through the following
Aims: (1) Understand how defects in exocyst-dependent membrane trafficking lead to arrested
urothelial differentiation and cell death. Our preliminary data show E-cadherin fails to traffic to cell-cell
junctions in the E16.5 Sec10FL/FL;;Ksp-Cre urothelial cells. Here, we will determine if Sec10 deletion causes
disrupted trafficking of other key cell-cell junction proteins and how this perturbs the mechanism of urothelial
barrier formation and the dynamics of stratification. We will also test if deletion of E-cadherin in the embryonic
ureter is sufficient to recapitulate the UPJO phenotype. (2) Identify the pathogenic mechanism driving the
mesenchymal expansion responsible for UPJOs in Sec10FL/FL;;Ksp-Cre ureters. We will test if urothelial
cell death at critical stages of ureter development is sufficient to cause the UPJO phenotype. We will utilize a
novel ex vivo ureter explant model to test if urine contributes to the pathogenic fibroproliferative response.
Finally, we will block TGFb1-SMAD2/3 signaling in vivo to determine if we can ameliorate the UPJO phenotype
in Sec10FL/FL;;Ksp-Cre mice. The anticipated outcome of this proposal is identifying the molecular mechanisms
that cause prenatal UPJO in this mouse model, which will have a high impact on our understanding of human
ureter development and CON, and will lay the groundwork for development of novel therapies.
