Article Title: The renal response to FGF23 shifts from phosphaturia toward inflammation in kidney disease
doi: 10.1002/ccs3.70061
Figure Lengend Snippet: Bulk RNA‐Seq deconvolution and immunofluorescence staining reveal an FGF23‐driven increase in overall immune cell and macrophage abundance in the kidneys of mice with anti‐GBM disease. (A, B) Depict the annotation of renal cell clusters in the reanalysis of the single‐cell RNA‐Seq dataset GSE107585 of murine kidney from 7 sex‐mixed healthy C57BL/6 mice; see also Supporting Information Figure . (C) Shows a wedding pie plot of the bulk deconvolution of the renal cellular composition according to FGF23 treatment and anti‐GBM disease state, as indicated by labels. Overall renal immune cells and macrophage‐like cells are displayed by bulk deconvolution (D, G) and by immunofluorescence with automated quantification for CD45 (E, F) and F4/80 (H, I). RNA‐Seq: N = 3 for anti‐GBM groups and n = 4 for healthy groups. Immunofluorescence: n = 4 per group. Statistical analysis: two‐way ANOVA. anti‐GBM, anti‐glomerular basement membrane disease; Baso, basophil; CD, collecting duct; d, disease state; DCT, distal convoluted tubule; DLOH, descending limb of Henle; EC, endothelial cell; Granul, granulocyte; i, interaction; IC, intercalated cells; Ly, lymphocyte; Mono, monocyte; Mph, macrophage; NK, natural killer cell; PC, principal cells; PT, proximal tubule; S, segment; t, treatment.
