    14-3-3 proteins are a ubiquitously expressed family of adaptor proteins. Despite exhibiting high sequence homology, several 14-3-3 isoforms have isoform-specific binding partners and roles. We reported that 14-3-3β interacts with FKBP12 and synaptopodin to maintain the structure of actin fibers in podocytes. However, the precise localization and differential role of 14-3-3 isoforms in kidneys are unclear. Herein, we showed that 14-3-3β in glomeruli was restricted in podocytes, and 14-3-3σ in glomeruli was expressed in podocytes and mesangial cells. Although 14-3-3β was dominantly co-localized with FKBP12 in the foot processes, a part of 14-3-3β was co-localized with Par3 at the slit diaphragm. 14-3-3β interacted with Par3, and FKBP12 bound to 14-3-3β competitively with Par3. Deletion of 14-3-3β enhanced the interaction of Par3 with Par6 in podocytes. Gene silencing for 14-3-3β altered the structure of actin fibers and process formation. 14-3-3β and synaptopodin expression was decreased in podocyte injury models. In contrast, 14-3-3σ in podocytes was expressed in the primary processes. 14-3-3σ interacted with vimentin but not with the actin-associated proteins FKBP12 and synaptopodin. Gene silencing for 14-3-3σ altered the structure of vimentin fibers and process formation. 14-3-3σ and vimentin expression was increased in the early phase of podocyte injury models but was decreased in the late stage. Together, the localization of 14-3-3β at actin cytoskeleton plays a role in maintaining the foot processes and the Par complex in podocytes. In contrast, 14-3-3σ at vimentin cytoskeleton is essential for maintaining primary processes.

    INTRODUCTION: Thy1.1 glomerulonephritis (Thy1.1 GN) in rats is widely used as an experimental model of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (GN). We previously reported that T-helper (Th) cells were accumulated in glomeruli from the early phase of this model and that not Th2 cells but Th1 cells play an important role in the development of glomerular alterations. Although Th17 is reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases, the role of Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of mesangial alterations in Thy1.1 GN remains unclear. METHODS: The kinetics of the infiltration of subsets of Th cells and the expression of IL-17 in Thy1.1 GN were analyzed. Next, the localization and the cell types of IL-17 receptor (IL-17R)-positive cells and IL-6-positive cells were analyzed. Then, the effect of tacrolimus on the expressions of Th17-related cytokines in Thy1.1 GN was analyzed. RESULTS: Not only Th1 cells but also Th17 cells were recruited into glomeruli from the early phase of the disease. mRNA expression of IL-17 in glomeruli was elevated. The increased positive expression of IL-17R was detected in the mesangial area, and some of IL-17R-positive cells were co-stained with IL-6. Tacrolimus treatment ameliorated mesangial alterations by suppressing the expressions of Th17-related cytokines such as IL-17 and IL-6. CONCLUSION: Th17 cells participate in the development of Thy1.1 GN, a mimic of mesangial proliferative GN, and Th17 cells and their related cytokines are pertinent therapeutic targets.

    FKBP12 was identified as a binding protein of tacrolimus (Tac). Tac binds to FKBP12 and exhibits immunosuppressive effects in T cells. Although it is reported that Tac treatment directly ameliorates the dysfunction of the podocyte in nephrotic syndrome, the precise pharmacological mechanism of Tac is not well understood yet. It is also known that FKBP12 functions independently of Tac. However, the localization and the physiological function of FKBP12 are not well elucidated. In this study, we observed that FKBP12 is highly expressed in glomeruli, and the FKBP12 in glomeruli is restricted in podocytes. FKBP12 in cultured podocytes was expressed along the actin cytoskeleton and associated with filamentous actin (F-actin). FKBP12 interacted with the actin-associated proteins 14-3-3 and synaptopodin. RNA silencing for FKBP12 reduced 14-3-3 expression, F-actin staining, and process formation in cultured podocytes. FKBP12 expression was decreased in the nephrotic model caused by adriamycin (ADR) and the cultured podocyte treated with ADR. The process formation was deteriorated in the podocytes treated with ADR. Tac treatment ameliorated these decreases. Tac treatment to the normal cells increased the expression of FKBP12 at F-actin in processes and enhanced process formation. Tac enhanced the interaction of FKBP12 with synaptopodin. These observations suggested that FKBP12 at actin cytoskeleton participates in the maintenance of processes, and Tac treatment ameliorates podocyte injury by restoring FKBP12 at actin cytoskeleton.

    INTRODUCTION: Synbindin, originally identified as a neuronal cytoplasmic molecule, was found in glomeruli. The cDNA subtractive hybridization technique showed the mRNA expression of synbindin in glomeruli was downregulated in puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) nephropathy, a mimic of minimal-change nephrotic syndrome. METHODS: The expression of synbindin in podocytes was analyzed in normal rats and 2 types of rat nephrotic models, anti-nephrin antibody-induced nephropathy, a pure slit diaphragm injury model, and PAN nephropathy, by immunohistochemical analysis and RT-PCR techniques. To elucidate the function of synbindin, a gene silencing study with human cultured podocytes was performed. RESULTS: Synbindin was mainly expressed at the slit diaphragm area of glomerular epithelial cells (podocytes). In both nephrotic models, decreased mRNA expression and the altered staining of synbindin were already detected at the early phase when proteinuria and the altered staining of nephrin, a key molecule of slit diaphragm, were not detected yet. Synbindin staining was clearly reduced when severe proteinuria was observed. When the cultured podocytes were treated with siRNA for synbindin, the cell changed to a round shape, and filamentous actin structure was clearly altered. The expression of ephrin-B1, a transmembrane protein at slit diaphragm, was clearly lowered, and synaptic vesicle-associated protein 2B (SV2B) was upregulated in the synbindin knockdown cells. CONCLUSION: Synbindin participates in maintaining foot processes and slit diaphragm as a downstream molecule of SV2B-mediated vesicle transport. Synbindin downregulation participates in slit diaphragm dysfunction. Synbindin can be an early marker to detect podocyte injury.

  • Nephrin-Ephrin-B1-Na+/H+ Exchanger Regulatory Factor 2-Ezrin-Actin Axis Is Critical in Podocyte Injury. Reviewed International journal

    Ephrin-B1 is one of the critical components of the slit diaphragm of kidney glomerular podocyte. However, the precise function of ephrin-B1 is unclear. To clarify the function of ephrin-B1, ephrin-B1-associated molecules were studied. RNA-sequencing analysis suggested that Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 2 (NHERF2), a scaffolding protein, is associated with ephrin-B1. NHERF2 was expressed at the apical area and the slit diaphragm, and interacted with the nephrin-ephrin-B1 complex at the slit diaphragm. The nephrin-ephrin-B1-NHERF2 complex interacted with ezrin bound to F-actin. NHERF2 bound ephrin-B1 via its first postsynaptic density protein-95/disks large/zonula occludens-1 domain, and podocalyxin via its second postsynaptic density protein-95/disks large/zonula occludens-1 domain. Both in vitro analyses with human embryonic kidney 293 cells and in vivo study with rat nephrotic model showed that stimulaiton of the slit diaphragm, phosphorylation of nephrin and ephrin-B1, and dephosphorylation of NHERF2 and ezrin, disrupted the linkages of ephrin-B1-NHERF2 and NHERF2-ezrin. It is conceivable that the linkage of nephrin-ephrin-B1-NHERF2-ezrin-actin is a novel critical axis in the podocytes. Ephrin-B1 phosphorylation also disrupted the linkage of an apical transmembrane protein, podocalyxin, with NHERF2-ezrin-actin. The phosphorylation of ephrin-B1 and the consequent dephosphorylation of NHERF2 are critical initiation events leading to podocyte injury.

    Background
    Topiroxostat, an inhibitor of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) was shown to reduce urinary albumin excretion of hyperuricemic patients with chronic kidney disease. However, its pharmacological mechanism is not well understood. In this study, we examined the effects of topiroxostat on glomerular podocytes. Podocyte is characterized by foot process and a unique cell-cell junction slit diaphragm functioning as a final barrier to prevent proteinuria.

    Methods
    The effects of topiroxostat on the expressions of podocyte functional molecules were analysed in db/db mice, a diabetic nephropathy model, anti-nephrin antibody-induced rat podocyte injury model and cultured podocytes treated with adriamycin.

    Results
    Topiroxostat treatment ameliorated albuminuria in db/db mice. The expression of desmin, a podocyte injury marker was increased, and nephrin and podocin, key molecules of slit diaphragm, and podoplanin, an essential molecule in maintaining foot process were downregulated in db/db mice. Topiroxostat treatment prevented the alterations in the expressions of these molecules in db/db mice. XOR activity in kidney was increased in rats with anti-nephrin antibody-induced podocyte injury. Topiroxostat treatment reduced XOR activity and restored the decreased expression of nephrin, podocin and podoplanin in the podocyte injury. Furthermore, topiroxostat enhanced the expression of podoplanin in injured human cultured podocytes.

    Conclusions
    Podocyte injury was evident in db/db mice. Topiroxostat ameliorated albuminuria in diabetic nephropathy model by preventing podocyte injury. Increase of XOR activity in kidney contributes to development of podocyte injury caused by stimulation to slit diaphragm. Topiroxostat has an effect to stabilize slit diaphragm and foot processes by inhibiting the reduction of nephrin, podocin and podoplanin.

    Ephrin-B1 plays a critical role at slit diaphragm. Partitioning-defective (Par)-6 is down-regulated in podocyte of ephrin-B1 knockout mouse, suggesting that Par-6 is associated with ephrin-B1. Par polarity complex, consisting of Par-6, Par-3, and atypical protein kinase C, is essential for tight junction formation. In this study, the expression of Par-6 was analyzed in the normal and nephrotic syndrome model rats, and the molecular association of Par-6, Par-3, ephrin-B1, and nephrin was assessed with the human embryonic kidney 293 cell expression system. Par-6 was concentrated at slit diaphragm. Par 6 interacted with ephrin-B1 but not with nephrin, and Par-3 interacted with nephrin but not with ephrin-B1. The complexes of Par-6-ephrin-B1 and Par-3-nephrin were linked via extracellular sites of ephrin-B1 and nephrin. The Par-6-ephrin-B1 complex was delinked from the Par-3-nephrin complex, and Par-6 and ephrin-B1 were clearly down-regulated already at early phase of nephrotic model. The alteration of Par-6/ephrin-B1 advanced that of Par-3/nephrin. Stimulation to nephrin phosphorylated not only nephrin but also ephrin-B1, and consequently inhibited the interaction between ephrin-B1 and Par-6. Par-6 appeared at presumptive podocyte of early developmental stage and moved to basal area at capillary loop stage to participate in slit diaphragm formation at the final stage. Par-6-ephrin-B1 interaction is crucial for formation and maintenance of slit diaphragm of podocyte.

    Background B-type ephrins are membrane-bound proteins that maintain tissue function in several organs. We previously reported that ephrin-B1 is localized at the slit diaphragm of glomerular podocytes. However, the function of ephrin-B1 at this location is unclear. Methods We analyzed the phenotype of podocyte-specific ephrin-B1 knockout mice and assessed the molecular association of ephrin-B1 and nephrin, a key molecule of the slit diaphragm, in HEK293 cells and rats with anti-nephrin antibody-induced nephropathy. Results Compared with controls, ephrin-B1 conditional knockoutmice displayed altered podocytemorphology, disarrangement of the slit diaphragm molecules, and proteinuria. Ephrin-B1 expressed in HEK293 cells immunoprecipitated with nephrin, which required the basal regions of the extracellular domains of both proteins. Treatment of cells with an anti-nephrin antibody promoted the phosphorylation of nephrin and ephrin-B1. However, phosphorylation of ephrin-B1 did not occur in cells expressing amutant nephrin lacking the ephrin-B1 binding site or in cells treated with an Src kinase inhibitor. The phosphorylation of ephrin-B1 enhanced the phosphorylation of nephrin and promoted the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), which was required for ephrin-B1- promoted cell motility in wound-healing assays. Notably, phosphorylated JNK was detected in the glomeruli of control mice but not ephrin-B1 conditional knockout mice. In rats, the phosphorylation of ephrin-B1, JNK, and nephrin occurred in the early phase (24 hours) of anti-nephrin antibody-induced nephropathy. Conclusions Through interactions with nephrin, ephrin-B1 maintains the structure and barrier function of the slit diaphragm. Moreover, phosphorylation of ephrin-B1 and, consequently, JNK are involved in the development of podocyte injury.

    NeXtProt is a web-based protein knowledge platform that supports research on human proteins. NeXtProt (release 2015-04-28) lists 20,060 proteins, among them, 3373 canonical proteins (16.8%) lack credible experimental evidence at protein level (PE2:PE5). Therefore, they are considered as "missing proteins". A comprehensive bio-informatic workflow has been proposed to analyze these "missing" proteins. The aims of current study were to analyze physicochemical properties, existence and distribution of the tryptic cleavage sites, and to pinpoint the signature peptides of the missing proteins. Our findings showed that 23.7% of missing proteins were hydrophobic proteins possessing transmembrane domains (TMD). Also, forty missing entries generate tryptic peptides were either out of mass detection range (>30 aa) or mapped to different proteins (<9 aa). Additionally, 21% of missing entries didn't generate any unique tryptic peptides. In silico endopeptidase combination strategy increased the possibility of missing proteins identification. Coherently, using both mature protein database and signal peptidome database could be a promising option to identify some missing proteins by targeting their unique N-terminal tryptic peptide from mature protein database and or C-terminus tryptic peptide from signal peptidome database. In conclusion, Identification of missing protein requires additional consideration during sample preparation, extraction, digestion and data analysis to increase its incidence of identification.

    Nephrin, a major intercellular junction (ICJ) molecule of mammalian podocytes in the renal glomerulus, is absent in the avian genome. We hypothesized that birds use ICJ molecules other than nephrin in their podocytes. Therefore, in the present study, we examined the possible involvement of adherens junction (AJ) proteins in the ICJs of avian podocytes. We found the AJ proteins N-cadherin and - and -catenins in podocytes of quail and chickens but not in those of rats, pigs or humans. The AJ proteins were prominent in avian glomerulus-rich fractions in immunoblot analyses, and in immunofluorescence microscopy analyses, they were localized along glomerular capillary walls appearing in at least two staining patterns: weakly diffuse and distinctly granular. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that the significant accumulation of immunogold particles for the AJ proteins were especially evident in avian slit diaphragms and AJs. Furthermore, N-cadherin was found to be expressed in all nephron cells in the early developmental stage but became confined to podocytes during maturation. These results indicate that avian slit diaphragms clearly express AJ proteins as compared with that in the mammalwhere AJ proteins are suppressed to an extremely low leveland that avian podocytes are interconnected by AJs per se in addition to slit diaphragms.

    Urine has evolved as one of the most important biofluids in clinical proteomics due to its noninvasive sampling and its stability. Yet, it is used in clinical diagnostics of several disorders by detecting changes in its components including urinary protein/polypeptide profile. Despite the fact that majority of proteins detected in urine are primarily originated from the urogenital (UG) tract, determining its precise source within the UG tract remains elusive. In this article, we performed a comprehensive analysis of ureter proteome to assemble the first unbiased ureter dataset. Next, we compared these data to urine, urinary exosome, and kidney mass spectrometric datasets. Our result concluded that among 2217 nonredundant ureter proteins, 751 protein candidates (33.8%) were detected in urine as urinary protein/polypeptide or exosomal protein. On the other hand, comparing ureter protein hits (48) that are not shown in corresponding databases to urinary bladder and prostate human protein atlas databases pinpointed 21 proteins that might be unique to ureter tissue. In conclusion, this finding offers future perspectives for possible identification of ureter disease-associated biomarkers such as ureter carcinoma. In addition, the ureter proteomic dataset published in this article will provide a valuable resource for researchers working in the field of urology and urine biomarker discovery. All MS data have been deposited in the ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD002620 ().

    OFFGEL fractionation of mouse kidney protein lysate and its tryptic peptide digest has been examined in this study for better understanding the differences between protein and peptide fractionation methods and attaining maximum recruitment of this modern methodology for in-depth proteomic analysis. With the same initial protein/peptide load for both fractionation methods, protein OFFGEL fractionation showed a preponderance in terms of protein identification, fractionation efficiency, and focusing resolution, while peptide OFF GEL was better in recovery, number of peptide matches, and protein coverage. This result suggests that the protein fractionation method is more suitable for shotgun analysis while peptide fractionation suits well quantitative peptide analysis [isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) or tandem mass tags (TMT)]. Taken together, utilization of the advantages of both fractionation approaches could be attained by coupling both methods to be applied on complex biological tissue. A typical result is shown in this article by identification of 8262 confident proteins of whole mouse kidney under stringent condition. We therefore fractionation as an effective and efficient addition to both label-free and quantitative label proteomics workflow.

    Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is considered as an appropriate alternative to frozen/fresh tissue for proteomic analysis. Here we study formalin-induced alternations on a proteome-wide level. We compared LC-MS/MS data of FFPE and frozen human kidney tissues by two methods. First, clustering analysis revealed that the biological variation is higher than the variation introduced by the two sample processing techniques and clusters formed in accordance with the biological tissue origin and not with the sample preservation method. Second, we combined open modification search and spectral counting to find modifications that are more abundant in FFPE samples compared to frozen samples. This analysis revealed lysine methylation (+14 Da) as the most frequent modification induced by FFPE preservation. We also detected a slight increase in methylene (+12 Da) and methylol (+30 Da) adducts as well as a putative modification of +58 Da, but they contribute less to the overall modification count. Subsequent SEQUEST analysis and X!Tandem searches of different datasets confirmed these trends. However, the modifications due to FFPE sample processing are a minor disturbance affecting 2-6% of all peptide-spectrum matches and the peptides lists identified in FFPE and frozen tissues are still highly similar.

    Since glomerular sclerosis frequently accompanies various glomerular diseases at the end stages, it is challenging to differentiate ubiquitous biological processes underlying this pathology from those critically involved in specific diseases. Furthermore, in-depth proteomic profile of human glomerular sclerosis remains limited. In this study, human glomeruli with intermediate (i-GS) and advanced (GS) sclerotic lesions, which were excluded from specific renal diseases and assumed to be aging-related, were laser captured from macroscopically normal cortex distant from urological carcinoma, and subjected to label-free quantitative proteomic analysis. We explicate an evident increase of membrane attack complex in i-GS and GS with an up-going tendency, which is accompanied by increasing of inhibitory regulators of alternative and terminal pathways. GO annotation and IPA pathway analysis agree to these results. Proteomic findings are validated by immunohistochemical studies which indicate that alternative and terminal pathways are positively involved in the glomerular sclerosis seen in distinct renal diseases. Furthermore, proteomic analysis also demonstrates remarkable increases of complement factor B in GS and TGF-beta 1 in both GS and i-GS. Identification of complement factor B implicates that on-site activation of alternative pathway may occur in injured glomeruli and stepwise increase of TGF-beta 1 suggests its contribution to the progression of glomerulosclerosis.
    Biological significance
    This study provides in-depth quantitative proteornic profiles of human glomeruli with intermediate and advanced sclerotic lesions. It reveals that the over-expression of alternative and terminal pathway components is significantly involved in human glomerulosclerosis seen in distinct renal diseases. Proteomic identification of the increased TGF-beta 1 provides supporting evidence for the role of podocyte apoptosis leading to human glomerulosclerosis. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Several proteins have been proposed as new urinary biomarkers of kidney injuries, but they are not always capable of identifying the kidney nephron segment that has been injured. Since calbindin 1 protein is exclusively localized in the kidney distal nephron segment, it is presumed that its expression is altered during distal nephron segment injuries, resulting in changes in its urinary excretion.
    Calbindin 1 expression in normal rat kidneys was compared with that in the kidneys of rats that had suffered distal nephron segment injuries (unilateral ureteral obstruction [UUO] or anti-glomerular basement membrane glomerulonephritis [anti-GBM GN]) using immunohistochemical examinations and real-time polymerase chain reaction. The urinary calbindin 1 protein concentration of normal rats was also compared with that of anti-GBM GN rats and of cisplatin nephropathy rats using Western blotting. We also compared the kidney and urinary calbindin 1 protein concentrations of normal human subjects with those of proteinuric patients [immunoglobulin (Ig)A nephropathy; IgAN] with distal nephron segment injuries.
    Calbindin 1 mRNA expression in the renal cortices and calbindin 1 protein expression in the kidney distal nephron segments were decreased in the UUO and anti-GBM GN rat kidneys. The urinary calbindin 1 protein levels of the anti-GBM GN rats were also markedly decreased, whereas those of the cisplatin nephropathy rats were slightly decreased. The human IgAN patients displayed decreased renal calbindin 1 protein expression in their dilated distal tubules, and some patients displayed decreased urinary calbindin 1 levels.
    Since it has been demonstrated that decreased urinary calbindin 1 levels are indicative of decreased calbindin 1 kidney expression due to distal nephron segment injuries, calbindin 1 might be a useful urinary biomarker for identifying distal nephron segment injuries.

    AimHeparin, a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan, has been shown to have a renoprotective effect on renal diseases, but its mechanisms remain to be elucidated. In this study, we examined the effect of heparin on podocytes by using primary cultured podocytes positive for podocyte-specific markers including podocin and podocalyxin.
    MethodsPodocytes were cultured from highly purified glomeruli isolated by the method with renal perfusion with magnetic beads and digestion of collagenase. Podocyte-specific gene expressions and proteins were examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy.
    ResultsReal-time PCR showed that addition of heparin to the culture media significantly upregulated most of the podocyte-specific genes in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. Western blotting showed a marked increase in protein levels of nephrin and podocin. Podocin localization at cell-cell contact sites became conspicuous in the presence of heparin. The effect of heparin was observed even in culture media deprived of bovine foetal serum. Heparan sulfate, less sulfated than heparin, and hyaluronan did not show such effects, but sulfated dextran did markedly.
    ConclusionHeparin acts on cultured podocytes to increase podocyte-specific gene expressions. A high degree of sulfation is crucial for the effect of heparin.
    Summary at a Glance This study characterises the rapid downregulation of podocyte specific genes in primary cultures of podocytes isolated from rat glomeruli. However, the addition of heparin sulphate promoted nephrin and podocin expression in cultured podocytes, which may explain the protective effect of heparin sulphate in models of proteinuria and glomerulosclerosis.

    Performing a comprehensive nonbiased proteome analysis is an extraordinary challenge due to sample complexity and wide dynamic range, especially in eukaryotic tissues. Thus, prefractionation steps conducted prior to mass spectrometric analysis are critically important to reduce complex biological matrices and allow in-depth analysis. Here we demonstrated the use of OFFGel prefractionation to identify more low abundant and hydrophobic proteins than in a nonfractionated sample. Moreover, OFFGel prefractionation of a kidney protein sample was able to unveil protein functional relevance by detecting PTMs, especially when prefractionation was augmented with a targeted enrichment strategy such as TiO2 phospho-enrichment. The OFFGel-TiO2 combination used in this study was comparable to other global phosphoproteomics approaches (SCX-TiO2 ERLIC-TiO2, or HILIC-TiO2). The detailed mouse kidney proteome with the phosphopeptide enrichment presented here serves as a useful platform for a better understanding of how the renal protein modification machinery works and, ultimately, will contribute to our understanding of pathological processes as well as normal physiological renal functions.

    Gel- based proteomics is one of the most versatile methods for fractionating protein complexes. Among these methods, two dimensional- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-DE) represents a mainstay orthogonal approach, which is popularly used to simultaneously fractionate, identify, and quantify proteins when coupled with mass spectrometric identification or other immunological tests. Although 2-DE was first introduced more than three decades ago, several challenges and limitations to its utility still exist. This review discusses the principles of 2-DE as well as both recent methodological advances and new applications.

    Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) combined with mass spectrometry was used to characterize the exo-proteome secreted by two strains (ER13 and ER21) representing community acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) belonging to clonal complex 80 (CC80). Common spots were detected between the 2 gels using the Progenesis SameSpots software. Two hundred and fifty-one and 312 spots from the exo-proteome of ER13 and ER21 were resolved, respectively. 2DE overlap comparison showed that 59 spots were shared. LC-MS/MS analysis identified 57 proteins from these spots comprising about 21% extracellular, 48% cytoplasmic, 2% cytoplasmic membrane, 2% cell wall, and 26% with unknown localization. The identified proteins were classified with respect to their Gene Ontology (GO) annotation as ~24% virulence determinants and toxins, ~17% involved in carbohydrate metabolism, ~14% involved in environmental stress, and ~12% associated with cell division. The identification of the enterotoxin B from the exo-products of both strains used in our study, as belonging to CC80 was interesting. © 2013 Elsevier GmbH.

    Vascular endothelial cells (VECs) play crucial roles in physiological and pathologic conditions in tissues and organs. Most of these roles are related to VEC plasma membrane proteins. In the kidney, VECs are closely associated with structures and functions; however, plasma membrane proteins in kidney VECs remain to be fully elucidated.
    Rat kidneys were perfused with cationic colloidal silica nanoparticles (CCSN) to label the VEC plasma membrane. The CCSN-labeled plasma membrane fraction was collected by gradient ultracentrifugation. The VEC plasma membrane or whole-kidney lysate proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and digested with trypsin in gels for liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Enrichment analysis was then performed.
    The VEC plasma membrane proteins were purified by the CCSN method with high yield (approximately 20 mu g from 1 g of rat kidney). By Mascot search, 582 proteins were identified in the VEC plasma membrane fraction, and 1,205 proteins were identified in the kidney lysate. In addition to 16 VEC marker proteins such as integrin beta-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-2 (ICAM-2), 8 novel proteins such as Deltex 3-like protein and phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein (PICALM) were identified. As expected, many key functions of plasma membranes in general and of endothelial cells in particular (i.e., leukocyte adhesion) were significantly overrepresented in the proteome of CCSN-labeled kidney VEC fraction.
    The CCSN method is a reliable technique for isolation of VEC plasma membrane from the kidney, and proteomic analysis followed by bioinformatics revealed the characteristics of in vivo VECs in the kidney.

    European community acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) clone remains a striking pathogenic clone spreading in European and Mediterranean countries. Since analysis of the secretome produced from this clone by proteomics could provide a comprehensive picture of both core exoproteins as well as virulence factors, we applied two proteomic approaches, pre-fractionation of proteins on SDS-PAGE followed by in-gel trypsin digestion, and in-solution trypsin-digestion followed by off-line SCX fractionation, both of which were coupled with LC-MS/MS analyses. A total of 174 distinct proteins were identified with a high-confidence. Functional classification of these identified proteins resulted in16.09% of protein synthesis, 13.79% of virulence, 6.89% of toxin, and 17.24% of unknown function. Prediction of their cellular localizations revealed 18.39% in extracellular space, 36.20% in cytoplasm, 5.17% in cytoplasmic membranes, 6.89% in cell wall, 1.14% in multiple localizations, and 32.18% in unknown localization. Among them, 52% proteins were predicted to be secreted through signal peptide-independent pathways. Most notably, the expression of some proteins such as enterotoxins U and B were identified for the first time in this clone. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

    Background: Most of the current proteomic researches focus on proteome alteration due to pathological disorders (i.e.: colorectal cancer) rather than normal healthy state when mentioning colon. As a result, there are lacks of information regarding normal whole tissue-colon proteome.
    Results: We report here a detailed murine (mouse) whole tissue-colon protein reference dataset composed of 1237 confident protein (FDR < 2) with comprehensive insight on its peptide properties, cellular and subcellular localization, functional network GO annotation analysis, and its relative abundances. The presented dataset includes wide spectra of pI and Mw ranged from 3-12 and 4-600 KDa, respectively. Gravy index scoring predicted 19.5% membranous and 80.5% globularly located proteins. GO hierarchies and functional network analysis illustrated proteins function together with their relevance and implication of several candidates in malignancy such as Mitogen-activated protein kinase (Mapk8, 9) in colorectal cancer, Fibroblast growth factor receptor (Fgfr 2), Glutathione S-transferase (Gstp1) in prostate cancer, and Cell division control protein (Cdc42), Ras-related protein (Rac1,2) in pancreatic cancer. Protein abundances calculated with 3 different algorithms (NSAF, PAF and emPAI) provide a relative quantification under normal condition as guidance.
    Conclusions: This highly confidence colon proteome catalogue will not only serve as a useful reference for further experiments characterizing differentially expressed proteins induced from diseased conditions, but also will aid in better understanding the ontology and functional absorptive mechanism of the colon as well.

    Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) is an omega-3 fatty acid (polyunsaturated fatty acid) that has pleiotropic effects as hypolipidemic and anti-inflammatory actions. Podocytes injury in the renal glomeruli has been proposed as the crucial mechanism in the development of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis or nephrosis. The effect of EPA on Puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) induced nephrosis was tested. EPA was administered daily for 28 days at a dose of 1 g kg-1 b.wt. then PAN was injected intravenously at a dose of 6 mg/100 g of body weight followed by EPA for 6 days. PAN nephrosis induced increase in proteinuria, lipid profiles, podocytes proteins expression and immunolocalization. EPA induced decrease in proteinuria and lipid profiles induced by PAN nephrosis. Also, EPA induced significant down-regulation in expression of connexin 43 and synaptopodin. Moreover, EPA induced 50% decrease in glomerular cell adhesion induced by PAN nephrosis. Immunoflerusecnce shows expression of desmin and connexin 43 in rat glomeruli that increased by PAN and decreased by EPA. These findings collectively showed that EPA has reno-protective effect during inflammation. © 2012 Academic Journals Inc.

    Background: We have previously constructed an in-depth human glomerulus proteome database from a large amount of sample for understanding renal disease pathogenesis and aiding the biomarker exploration. However, it is usually a challenge for clinical research to get enough tissues for large-scale proteomic characterization. Therefore, in this study, we focused on high-confidence proteomics analysis on small amounts of human glomeruli comparable to those obtained from biopsies using different mass spectrometers and compared these results to the comprehensive database.Results: One microgram of human glomerular protein digest was analyzed each on five LC- combined mass spectrometers (LIT-TOF, LTQ-Orbitrap, Q-TOF, LIT and MALDI-TOF/TOF) yielding 139, 185, 94, 255 and 108 proteins respectively identified with strict criteria to ensure high confidence (&gt
    99%) and low false discovery rate (FDR) (&lt
    1%). An integrated profile of 332 distinct glomerular proteins was subsequently generated without discerned bias due to protein physicochemical properties (pI and MW), of which around 60% were detected commonly by more than two LC-MS/MS platforms. Comparative analysis with the comprehensive database demonstrated 14 proteins uniquely identified in this study and more than 70% of identified proteins in small datasets were concentrated to the top abundant 500 in the comprehensive database which consists of 2775 non-redundant proteins.Conclusion: This study showed representative human glomerulus proteomic profiles obtained from biopsies through analysis of comparable amounts of samples by different mass spectrometry. Our results implicated that high abundant proteins are more likely to be reproducibly identified in multiple mass spectrometers runs and different mass spectrometers. Furthermore, many podocyte essential proteins such as nephrin, podocin, podocalyxin and synaptopodin were also identified from the small samples in this study. Bioinformatic enrichment analysis results extended our understanding of the major glomerular proteins about their subcellular distributions and functions. The present study indicated that the proteins localized in certain cellular compartments, such as actin cytoskeleton, mitochondrial matrix, cell surface, basolateral plasma membrane, contractile fiber, proteinaceous extracellular matrix and adherens junction, represent high abundant glomerular proteins and these subcellular structures are also highly significantly over-represented in the glomerulus compared to the whole human background. © 2011 Zhang et al

    In the field of bottom-up proteomics, heavy contamination of human keratins could hinder the comprehensive protein identification, especially for the detection of low abundance proteins. In this study, we examined the keratin contamination in the four major experimental procedures in gel-based proteomic analysis including gel preparation, gel electrophoresis, gel staining, and in-gel digestion. We found that in-gel digestion procedure might be of importance corresponding to keratin contaminants compared to the other three ones. The human keratin contamination was reduced significantly by using an electrostatic eliminator during in-gel digestion, suggesting that static electricity built up on insulated experimental materials might be one of the essential causes of keratin contamination. We herein proposed a series of methods for improving experimental conditions and sample treatment in order to minimize the keratin contamination in an economical and practical way.

    Tight junctions are the main intercellular junctions of podocytes of the renal glomerulus under nephrotic conditions. Their requisite components, claudins, still remain to be identified. We have measured the mRNA levels of claudin subtypes by quantitative real-time PCR using isolated rat glomeruli. Claudin-5 was found to be expressed most abundantly in glomeruli. Mass spectrometric analysis of membrane preparation from isolated glomeruli also confirmed only claudin-5 expression without any detection of other claudin subtypes. In situ hybridization and immunolocalization studies revealed that claudin-5 was localized mainly in glomeruli where podocytes were the only cells expressing claudin-5. Claudin-5 protein was observed on the entire surface of podocytes including apical and basal domains of the plasma membrane in the normal condition and was inclined to be concentrated on tight junctions in puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis. Total protein levels of claudin-5 in isolated glomeruli were not significantly upregulated in the nephrosis. These findings suggest that claudin-5 is a main claudin expressed in podocytes and that the formation of tight junctions in the nephrosis may be due to local recruitment of claudin-5 rather than due to total upregulation of the claudin protein levels.

    Aquaporin (AQP) family plays a fundamental role in transmembrane water and small solutes movement. Within this family, aquaporin 8 (AQP8), showed to be widely distributed in the digestive system especially colon. To investigate the possible protein alterations involved in AQP8 regulation and trafficking, we extensively compared between wild type and AQP8 knockout mouse colon using semi-quantitative fluorescence- stained two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) coupled with nano LC-Ms/Ms. Our analysis revealed identification and regulation of 21 proteins, most notably, actin-related family which suggests its possible involvement in regulating AQP8 secretory vesicles migration to be integrated as a cell membrane protein.

    In order to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation rich in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, we set up an experiment of twenty four C57BL/6J male mice segregated into 3 groups: normal diet (ND), omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA,) and omega 6 (n-6 PUFA). At the end of the experiment that lasted for I month, food consumption of ND and n-3 PUFA were similar while it decreased in n-6 PUFA group. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, free fatty acids, and phospholipids profiles were increased in n-6 PUFA. LDL decreased in n-3 PUFA while increased in n-6 PUFA fed mice comparing to control group. On the other hand, there was no difference between treatments in HDL and glucose levels. Expression of leptin (ob) gene transcripts in epididymal fat were significantly elevated in n-6 PUFA mice compared to ND and n-3 PUFA groups while hypothalamic ob receptor A (obRa) mRNA did not changed in response to diet regimes. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy showed different degrees in fatty changes in the liver of both PUFA groups including lipid droplet infiltration and Ito cells with over accumulated lipids. In conclusion, under PUFA dietary supplementation, the hyperlipidemic status and elevated ob expression of n-6 PUFA but not n-3 PUFA fed mice suggests altered lipid metabolism between PUFA groups and/or different endocrine involvement. Moreover, the coincidently structural changes observed in liver of this group direct us to call for further studies to investigate the anti-obesity effect and safety of these PUFA under high supplementation condition.

    BACKGROUND: It is generally admitted that ABO(H) blood group antigens are linked to lipids and proteins. Although glycolipids carrying ABO antigens have been well characterized in human kidneys, glycoproteins carrying ABO antigens are largely unknown, and their molecular properties remain to be elucidated. METHODS: All the blood group A antigen-linked proteins in human kidney could be solubilized and captured on immobilized Helix pomatia lectin that recognizes A antigens. These proteins were separated on SDS-PAGE gels. The gel pieces containing protein bands immunoreactive with anti-A antibody were excised, in-gel digested with trypsin, and analyzed by nanoLC tandem mass spectrometer. Protein candidates that carry ABO antigens were confirmed by immunoprecipitation and double-labeled immunofluorescense microscopy. RESULTS: All the glycoproteins carrying ABO antigens were found to be Asn-linked glycoproteins, and presented as multiple bands on SDS-PAGE with molecular masses ranging from 60 to 270 kDa. The protein bands were subjected for mass spectrometric analysis, which identified 121 distinct proteins with high confidence. Of the identified proteins, 55 N-glycosylated, membrane proteins were selected as glycoprotein candidates that carry ABO antigens. Among them, most abundantly expressed proteins as estimated by the number of peptide matches in the MS spectrometric analysis, such as platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1, plasmalemmal vesicle-associated protein, and von Willebrand factor, were further characterized. CONCLUSIONS: Several glycoproteins were identified that represented major glycoproteins carrying ABO antigens in the human kidney, which exhibited distinct features in localization to most of vascular endothelial cells.

    Background/Aims: Mesangial cells bear the tensional forces generated in the glomerular capillary wall. Not only mesangial cells per se, but also their intercellular junctions should be physically stable against the tensional forces; this prompted the search for actin filament- reinforced adherens junctions of mesangial cells. We previously reported alpha- and beta-catenins localized at the cell-cell contact sites of mesangial cells in the rat. Classical cadherin expressed by mesangial cells, however, remains to be elucidated. Methods: Expression of classical cadherins, especially N-cadherin, was examined in rat glomeruli by ribonuclease protection assay, Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence and immuno-electron microscopy. Results: Ribonuclease protection assay detected significant expression of N-cadherin in rat glomeruli. Western blot analysis showed that rabbit and murine antibodies against N-cadherin reacted with a specific band in isolated glomeruli. Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed that both antibodies reacted only with the mesangium in glomeruli. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that the immunogold particles for N-cadherin were found predominantly at cell-cell contact sites of mesangial cells where actin filaments concentrated. Conclusion: N-cadherin interconnects mesangial cells, suggesting that the cadherin-catenin-actin filament system in the mesangium may play a role in the counteraction of the hydraulic pressure gradient across the capillary wall.

    Tight junctions rarely exist in podocytes of the normal renal glomerulus, whereas they are the main intercellular junctions of podocytes in nephrosis and in the early stage of development. Claudins have been identified as tight junction-specific integral membrane proteins. Those of podocytes, however, remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we investigated the expression and localization of claudin-6 in the rat kidney, especially in podocytes. Western blot analysis and RT-PCR revealed that the neonatal kidney expressed much higher levels of claudin-6 than the adult kidney. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed intense claudin-6 staining in most of the tubules and glomeruli in neonates. The staining in tubules declined distinctly in adults, whereas staining in glomeruli was well preserved during development. Claudin-6 in glomeruli was distributed along the glomerular capillary wall and colocalized with zonula occludens-1. The staining became conspicuous after kidney perfusion with protamine sulfate (PS) to increase tight junctions in podocytes. Immunoelectron microscopy showed that immunogold particles for claudin-6 were accumulated at close cell-cell contact sites of podocytes in PS-perfused kidneys, whereas a very limited number of immunogold particles were detected, mainly on the basal cell membrane and occasionally at the slit diaphragm and close cell-cell contact sites in normal control kidneys. In puromycin aminonucleoside nephrosis, immunogold particles were also found mainly at cell-contact sites of podocytes. These findings indicate that claudin-6 is a transmembrane protein of tight junctions in podocytes during development and under pathological conditions.

    The kidney glomerulus plays a pivotal role in ultrafiltration of plasma into urine and also is the locus of kidney disease progressing to chronic renal failure. We have focused proteomic analysis on the glomerulus that is most proximal to the disease locus. In the present study, we aimed to provide a confident, in-depth profiling of the glomerulus proteome. The glomeruli were highly purified from the kidney cortex from a male, 68-year-old patient who underwent nephroureterectomy due to ureter carcinoma. The patient was normal in clinical examinations including serum creatinine and urea levels and liver function, and did not receive any chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The cortical tissue was histologically normal, and no significant deposition of immunoglobulins and complement C3 was observed. We employed a novel strategy of protein separation using 1D (SDS-PAGE) and 2D (solution-phase IEF in combination with SDS-PAGE) prefractionation prior to the shotgun analysis with LC-MS/MS. The protein prefractionation produced 90 fractions, and eventually provided a confident set of identified proteins consisting of 6686 unique proteins (3679 proteins with two or more peptide matches and 3007 proteins with one peptide match), representing 2966 distinct genes. All the identified proteins were annotated and classified in terms of molecular function and biological process, compiled into 1D and 2D protein arrays, consisting of 15 and 75 sections, corresponding to the protein fractions which were defined by MW and pI range, and deposited on a Web-based database (http://www.hkupp.org). The most remarkable feature of the glomerulus proteome was a high incidence of identification of cytoskeleton-related proteins, presumably reflecting the well-developed, cytoskeletal organization of glomerular cells related to their physiological functions.

    Protein tyrosine phosphorylation is responsible for activating or repressing the activity of proteins involved in numerous signal transduction pathways in a living organism. Using immunochemical methods with two well characterized monoclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies, we examined the distribution and localization of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins expressed in the three major compartments of the normal rat kidney: the glomerulus, cortex, and medulla. Western blotting analysis revealed that tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins were predominantly expressed in the glomerulus, compared with the cortex and medulla. The intensity of tyrosine-phosphorylated protein bands was augmented by using orthovanadate - an inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase - during sample preparation, and the bands were undetectable when the antibodies were absorbed with phosphotyrosine but not with phosphoserine or phosphothreonine. Immunofluorescence microscopy indicated that the phosphotyrosine staining was intense along glomerular capillary walls and sparse along parts of the tubuli. Immunoelectron microscopy further showed that phosphotyrosine immunoreactivity was predominantly localized at the basal membranes of podocyte foot processes. In addition, some immunogold labeling was also observed at cell-matrix attachment sites of glomerular endothelial cells and mesangial cells as well as at basal membranes of epithelial cells of proximal tubules, distal tubules, and collecting ducts. In conclusion, tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins are predominantly and constitutively expressed in the normal rat glomerulus, especially in the basal membranes of podocyte foot processes, suggesting tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins could play an important role in maintaining the unique organization of foot processes and in the glomerular ultrafiltration there.

    To contribute to physiology and pathophysiology of the glomerulus of human kidney, we have launched a proteomic study of human glomerulus, and compiled a profile of proteins expressed in the glomerulus of normal human kidney by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and identification with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and/or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Kidney cortices with normal appearance were obtained from patients under surgical nephrectomy due to renal tumor, and glomeruli were highly purified by a standard sieving method followed by picking-up under a phase-contrast microscope. The glomerular proteins were separated by 2-DE with 24 cm immobilized pH gradient strips in the 3-10 range in the first dimension and 26 × 20 cm sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels of 12.5% in the second dimension. Gels were silver-stained, and valid spots were processed for identification through an integrated robotic system that consisted of a spot picker, an in-gel digester, and a MALDI-TOF MS and/or a LC-MS/MS. From 2-DE gel images of glomeruli of four subjects with no apparent pathologic manifestations, a synthetic gel image of normal glomerular proteins was created. The synthetic gel image contained 1713 valid spots, of which 1559 spots were commonly observed in the respective 2-DE gels. Among the 1559 spots, 347 protein spots, representing 212 proteins, have so far been identified, and used for the construction of an extensible markup language (XML)-based database. The database is deposited on a web site (http://www.sw.nec.co.jp/bio/rd/hgldb/index. html) in a form accessible to researchers to contribute to proteomic studies of human glomerulus in health and disease. © 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH &amp

    The kidney glomerulus is the site of plasma filtration and production of primary urine in the kidney. The structure not only plays a pivotal role in ultrafiltration of plasma into urine but also is the locus of kidney diseases progressing to chronic renal failure. Patients afflicted with these glomerular diseases frequently progress to irreversible loss of renal function and inevitably require replacement therapies. The diagnosis and treatment of glomerular diseases are now based on clinical manifestations, urinary protein excretion level, and renal pathology of needle biopsy specimens. The molecular mechanisms underlying the progression of glomerular diseases are still obscure despite a great number of clinical and experimental studies. Proteomics is a particularly promising approach for the discovery of proteins relevant to physiological and pathophysiological processes, and has been recently employed in nephrology. Although until now most efforts of proteomic analysis have been conducted with urine, the biological fluid that is easily collected without invasive procedures, proteomic analysis of the glomerulus, the tissue most proximal to the disease loci, is the most straightforward approach. In this review, we attempt to outline the current status of clinical proteomics of the glomerulus and provide a perspective of protein biomarker discovery of glomerular diseases.

    Neurexin1のスリット膜のバリア維持機能における役割を明らかにするため、本年度(令和2年度)はneurexin1αKOマウスを作製し、ポドサイト病変、スリット膜機能分子の発現を解析した。また、neurexin1αとスリット膜機能分子nephrinとの相互作用解析を行った。
    まず、ラット糸球体可溶化材料を用いたウエスタンブロット解析から、ポドサイトで発現しているneurexin1は主に長鎖のneurexin1αであることを示した。
    次に、neurexin1αKOマウスの解析で、若齢期の10週齢では野生型マウスと比較して顕著な変化は観察されなかったが、成体期の20週齢でnephrin、podocinの著明な発現低下、及び有意な病的蛋白尿を観察した。
    相互作用解析では、ラット糸球体可溶化材料を用いた免疫沈降解析によりneurexin1αとnephrinの結合性を認めた。また、HEK293細胞を用いた強制発現系の解析で、神経組織で発現しているneurexin1α-SS4(-)はnephrinとの結合性が認められなかったが、ポドサイトでの発現型であるneurexin1α-SS4(+)はnephrinと結合性を有した。
    以上より、neurexin1αはnephrinと結合性を有するスリット膜構成分子であること、neurexin1αの発現低下により病的蛋白尿が誘導されることが示され、ポドサイト特異的neurexin1α-SS4(+)はスリット膜の機能維持に重要であることを明らかにした。

    It was demonstrated that synapse associated molecules, SV2B, Neurexin, Ephrin-B1 were expressed in podocyte, and dysfunction of these molecules lead proteinuria. The present study revealed that a unique variant of Neurexin (Neurexin 1a, splice site #4(+)) was expressed in podocyte and interacted with nephrin and CD2AP, critical molecules of slit diaphragm. The interactions played a key role in maintaining the barrier function of slit diaphragm. Ephrin-B, a transmembrane protein was connected to cytoskeletal actin via NHERF2 and Ezrin. The linkage is essential for maintaining barrier function of sit diaphragm. These synapse-associated molecules could be targets for a novel therapy.
