Article Title: Mitochondrial Dysregulation Secondary to Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Autosomal Dominant Tubulointerstitial Kidney Disease – UMOD (ADTKD- UMOD )

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) ADTKD- UMOD is characterized by maturation and trafficking defect of mutant UMOD and intracellular accumulation of UMOD in TAL cells. UMOD immunolocalization revealed a diffuse cytoplasmic staining with enforcement of the luminal membrane in TAL cells of a wild-type mouse. In contrast, TAL cells of an Umod C93F mutant mouse displayed a strong paranuclear immunopositivity for UMOD. Wild-type: Umod wt mouse; Umod C93F : homozygous Umod C93F mutant mouse. Age of mice analysed: four months. Chromogen: DAB, nuclear staining: haemalum. ( B ) Heat map of relative expression values (z scores) showed differential abundance of several proteins localized in the ER. ( C ) In the outer medulla of Umod mutant mice of both mouse lines, a strong accumulation of immature UMOD was present. ( D ) Protein abundances of BiP, phospho-eIF2α, eIF2α, ATF4, both full-length (§) and cleaved activated (#) ATF6, and CHOP were increased in Umod mutant mice compared to wild-type mice. Signal intensities were corrected for GAPDH signal intensities of the same PVDF-membrane, which was stripped several times to facilitate the detection of multiple proteins. Mean of protein abundance of wild-type mice was set on a value of 1 [mean (wild-type) = 1]. Data are shown as means ± SD. One-way ANOVA with Newman-Keuls’s post hoc test: p vs. wild-type, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
