项目摘要
SUMMARY: The distal nephron epithelium acquires essential functions for urinary concentration during its
maturation phase following nephrogenesis. We identified KCTD1 as a critical regulator of the maturation and
function of the thick ascending limb (TAL) and the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) of the distal nephron. KCTD1
deficiency leads to impaired maturation of these nephron segments with loss of key electrolyte transporters,
resulting in an early-onset severe salt-losing tubulopathy and a delayed-onset nephronophthisis-like cyst
formation and kidney fibrosis. Mechanistically, lack of KCTD1 increases expression of the epithelial
differentiation regulator DAPL1, which we propose suppresses maturation and terminal differentiation of the
distal nephron epithelium by increasing β-catenin signaling activity through inhibition of the expression of the
Wnt inhibitor SFRP1. Inhibiting the increase in β-catenin activity in mice lacking KCTD1 prevented the loss of
electrolyte transporters, improved kidney function and attenuated fibrosis and cyst formation. Thus, KCTD1
controls distal nephron maturation and function by suppressing postnatal β-catenin activation.
In this proposal we aim to define the molecular mechanisms through which KCTD1 controls DAPL1 expression
and Wnt/b-catenin signaling activity in the distal nephron epithelium and thereby affects the differentiation and
function of this epithelium. Our new preliminary data show that increased AP-2a in the TALs/DCTs of mice
lacking KCTD1 is required for the increase in Wnt/β-catenin signaling in these TALs/DCTs and that lack of AP-
2a can rescue the distal nephron maturation defects caused by KCTD1 deficiency. Based on these findings we
hypothesize that KCTD1 acts in the TALs/DCTs as an inhibitor of the transcription factor AP-2a, which induces
the expression of DAPL1. We will test this hypothesis and explore how AP-2a controls DAPL1 expression and
whether the functions of KCTD1 for distal nephron maturation are mediated by AP-2a and DAPL1. Moreover,
we will test whether DAPL1 stimulates Wnt/b-catenin signaling activity in the TALs/DCTs by inhibiting the
expression of SFRP1 and define the molecular regulation and in vivo significance of a KCTD1/AP-
2a/DAPL1/SFRP1 axis in controlling Wnt/β-catenin signaling activity and maturation and function of the distal
nephron epithelium.
The scientific premise for this application is strong and builds on extensive preliminary data, mouse models
that have already been generated and verified in our laboratory, and a primary human TAL/DCT cell culture
system for which the feasibility of the proposed experiments has been clearly established by our preliminary
data. The proposed experiments are expected to provide fundamental new insights into molecular mechanisms
that control the maturation and terminal differentiation of the TALs/DCTs. Thus, this proposal has high
translational significance in defining a previously unexplored molecular pathway that is critical for distal
nephron function and may provide novel therapeutic targets for kidney diseases with TAL/DCT dysfunction.
摘要:远端肾单位上皮在其尿浓缩过程中获得了重要的功能。
肾发生后的成熟阶段。 我们将 KCTD1 确定为成熟和成熟的关键调节因子
远端肾单位粗升肢 (TAL) 和远端曲管 (DCT) 的功能。 KCTD1
缺乏会导致这些肾单位片段的成熟受损,并导致关键电解质转运蛋白的丧失,
导致早发性严重失盐性肾小管病和迟发性肾结核样囊肿
形成和肾脏纤维化。 从机制上讲,缺乏 KCTD1 会增加上皮细胞的表达
分化调节因子 DAPL1,我们认为它抑制细胞的成熟和终末分化
通过抑制 β-连环蛋白的表达来增加远端肾单位上皮细胞的β-连环蛋白信号活性
Wnt 抑制剂 SFRP1。 抑制缺乏 KCTD1 的小鼠 β-连环蛋白活性的增加可以防止
电解质转运蛋白,改善肾功能并减少纤维化和囊肿形成。 因此,KCTD1
通过抑制产后 β-连环蛋白激活来控制远端肾单位的成熟和功能。
在本提案中,我们的目标是定义 KCTD1 控制 DAPL1 表达的分子机制
和 Wnt/b-连环蛋白在远端肾单位上皮中的信号传导活性,从而影响分化和
该上皮的功能。 我们新的初步数据显示,小鼠 TAL/DCT 中的 AP-2a 增加
缺乏 KCTD1 是这些 TAL/DCT 中 Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号传导增加所必需的,并且缺乏 AP-
2a 可以挽救 KCTD1 缺陷引起的远端肾单位成熟缺陷。 根据这些发现,我们
假设 KCTD1 在 TAL/DCT 中充当转录因子 AP-2a 的抑制剂,从而诱导
DAPL1 的表达。 我们将测试这个假设并探索 AP-2a 如何控制 DAPL1 表达和
KCTD1 对远端肾单位成熟的功能是否由 AP-2a 和 DAPL1 介导。 而且,
我们将测试 DAPL1 是否通过抑制 TALs/DCTs 来刺激 Wnt/b-catenin 信号传导活性
SFRP1 的表达并定义 KCTD1/AP- 的分子调节和体内意义
2a/DAPL1/SFRP1 轴控制 Wnt/β-catenin 信号传导活性、远端成熟和功能
肾单位上皮。
该应用程序的科学前提是强大的,并且建立在广泛的初步数据、小鼠模型的基础上
已在我们的实验室中生成并验证,以及原代人类 TAL/DCT 细胞培养物
我们的初步研究已经清楚地确定了所提出的实验的可行性
数据。 拟议的实验预计将为分子机制提供基本的新见解
控制 TAL/DCT 的成熟和终末分化。 因此,该提案具有很高的
定义先前未探索的分子途径的翻译意义,该途径对于远端至关重要
肾单位功能,并可能为伴有 TAL/DCT 功能障碍的肾脏疾病提供新的治疗靶点。
