    <t>Myh9&10</t> TAL-cKO mice develop progressive kidney disease and show sexual dimorphism in morbidity. (A) Timeline depicting experimental protocol for Myh9&10 TAL-cKO (TAL-cKO) characterization. (B) Myh9&10 TAL-cKO (TAL-cKO) female mice fail to gain weight compared to littermate controls ( Myh9 f/f ; Myh10 f/f ; Umod +/+ ). At 12 weeks of age TAL-cKO females are significantly smaller than littermate controls and meet euthanasia criteria by 14 weeks of age. TAL-cKO male mice also fail to gain weight and are smaller than littermate controls starting at 12 weeks of age and remain significantly smaller at 16 and 20 weeks of age. Male TAL-cKO mice spontaneously die around 24-25 weeks of age. (C) Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels become progressively higher during disease progression in female and male TAL-cKO mice compared to littermate controls. Female and male TAL-cKO mice exhibit higher BUN starting at 9 weeks of age. The dotted line indicates normal BUN value (30mg/dL). (D) Serum creatinine levels in both female and male TAL-cKO mice become progressively higher compared to littermate controls. (E) Quantification of the tubular injury marker NGAL in the urine shows elevated concentration in both male (triangles) and female (circles) TAL-cKO mice as early as 9 weeks of age compared to littermate controls, and NGAL was further elevated at later time points in both female and male mice (n=6 each sex). (F) Quantification of CD3+ cell counts show immune cell infiltration at 13 weeks of age in female (circles) and male (triangles) and 20-week-old male TAL-cKO mice compared to littermate controls. (G) 24-hour urine samples collected from female and male TAL-cKO mice indicate higher urine acidity compared to littermate controls. Body weight was analyzed independently for each sex by age using an unpaired t test with Welch’s correction or Mann-Whitney test and graphed together. BUN and creatinine were analyzed independently for each sex by two-way ANOVA. Male and female urine NGAL data was combined and analyzed by two-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s test. Male and female CD3 data was combined and analyzed by two-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s test. Sample numbers for CD3+ counts can be found in materials and methods. Mean + SEM values are graphed with individual samples; significant p values are also listed on graphs. Sample numbers for serum and urine data at each timepoint can be found in the supplemental tables. Urine pH was analyzed independently for each sex and age using an unpaired t test with Welch’s correction or Mann-Whitney test.

    Uromodulin (UMOD) expression and localization in Myh9&10 TAL-cKO mice are influenced by both Umod+/CreERT2 transgene and loss of MYH9&10 proteins. (A-D) Representative immunoblots from whole kidney lysates from female and male kidneys show changes in UMOD expression at 6 and 13 weeks. UMOD protein expression is lower in both male and female kidneys at 6 (A, B) and 13 (C, D) weeks of age compared to control kidneys (n=6 each sex). Tubulin (TUB) is loading control and L = Ladder Lane. (E) Immunoblots of whole kidney lysates from female control (UMOD+/+ and UMODcre/+) and TAL-cKO (TAL-cKO) mice at 6 weeks of age (upper panel) and 12 weeks of age (lower panel) showing changes in UMOD protein levels. (F) Quantification of immunoblots confirms lower UMOD protein levels at 6 and 12 weeks of age in UMODcre/+ and TAL-cKO kidneys compared to UMOD+/+ kidneys. (G) Quantitative PCR analysis of Umod gene expression in female (circles) and male (triangles) kidneys. Significantly lower gene expression is observed in Umodcre/+ kidneys compared to Umod+/+ kidneys at all ages analyzed, indicating that presence of the cre transgene reduces transcript levels. At 6 and 12 weeks of age, expression is also lower in TAL-cKO kidneys compared to Umod+/+ kidneys. At 9 weeks of age there is significantly higher gene expression in TAL-cKO kidneys compared to Umodcre/+ kidneys. In TAL-cKO kidneys, Umod gene expression is significantly higher between 6 and 9 weeks of age and significantly lower from 9 and 12 weeks of age (n≥5 kidneys per genotype and age). (H-I) Representative immunoblot shows that in 9-week-old TAL-cKO male and female kidneys UMOD protein expression is restored to control kidney levels (H, I). (J-M) Fluorescence immunostaining shows variable expression of UMOD in TAL tubules of female and male Myh9&10 TAL-cKO (TAL-cKO) kidneys at 9 weeks of age compared to littermate controls (Myh9f/f; Myh10f/f; Umod+/+). Tubules also show accumulation of UMOD while others show loss of UMOD protein. (N-Q) Representative images from immunostained 13-week old male and female kidneys show dilated tubules with increased UMOD accumulation as well tubules with loss of UMOD protein in TAL-cKO kidneys compared to controls. Scale bars = 50µm (n= 3 kidneys each). Immunoblot results (B, D, I) were normalized to controls (n=3 per blot, n=6 total) and analyzed by unpaired t test with either Welch’s correction or Mann-Whitney test. Immunoblots results (F) were normalized to controls (UMOD+/+) and analyzed independently by age using one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Dunnett’s T3 multiple comparisons test (n=3-6 kidneys each). Transcript data (G) was analyzed by two-way ANOVA with post hoc Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.

    Changes in ER chaperone expression and ER stress/unfolded protein response proteins are observed in Myh9&10 TAL-cKO mice. (A) Immunostained kidney sections from 13-week-old male and female Myh9&10 TAL-cKO (TAL-cKO) and littermate controls ( Myh9 f/f ; Myh10 f/f ; Umod +/+ ) show higher levels of the ER chaperone calreticulin (CALR) and accumulation within dilated tubules that also have uromodulin (UMOD) accumulation. CALR co-localizes with the accumulated UMOD in TAL-cKO kidneys. There are also dilated tubules with loss of UMOD that show varying levels of CALR expression. Scale bars = 20µm. (n=3 each).

(A, C) Expression of NKCC2 in control female TAL tubules is localized to the apical membrane. (B, D) Female TAL-cKO TAL segments show reduction in expression and apical membrane localization of NKCC2, some regions have more pronounced reduction in NKCC2 than others.

(C) Urine pH is higher in control and TAL-cKO females treated with amiloride compared to those receiving vehicle. (D) Sodium excretion is higher in male TAL-cKO mice treated with amiloride compared to those treated with vehicle only. No significant difference is seen in control animals treated with amiloride compared to vehicle. (E) Potassium excretion is significantly lower in control and TAL-cKO male mice receiving amiloride compared to those treated with vehicle. (F) Urine pH is significantly higher in amiloride-treated TAL-cKO male mice and is significantly lower in TAL-cKO vehicle mice compared to control vehicle mice. N ≥ 3 for each group in amiloride studies. Two-way ANOVA post-hoc Tukey’s test with multiple comparisons was used to analyze effects of genotype and amiloride treatment on urine parameters.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Acute amiloride treatment confirms higher ENaC activity in Myh9&10 TAL-cKO mice. (A-F) To assess ENaC function, 12-week-old female and male control and Myh9&10 TAL-cKO (TAL-cKO) mice were administered vehicle (-) or amiloride (+). (A) Sodium excretion is significantly higher in female TAL-cKO mice that received amiloride compared to those that received vehicle, while sodium excretion is not significantly different between control mice that received amiloride or vehicle. (B) Potassium excretion is significantly lower in female control mice treated with amiloride compared to those that received vehicle, but not significantly different between female TAL-cKO mice treated with amiloride and those that received vehicle. (C) Urine pH is higher in control and TAL-cKO females treated with amiloride compared to those receiving vehicle.

    Osmo-responsive genes show altered expression profile in Myh9&10 TAL-cKO kidneys and ENaC subunits are osmo-responsive in IMCD3 cells highlighting the cellular plasticity of collecting duct epithelium. (A) Elf5 gene expression is lower in female (circles) Myh9&10 TAL-cKO (TAL-cKO) kidneys at 12 weeks of age and in male (triangles) TAL-cKO kidneys at 9 and 12 weeks of age compared to control kidneys ( Myh9 f/f ; Myh10 f/f ; Umod +/+ ). (B) Akr1b1 gene expression did not show statistically significant changes in female kidneys but trended lower in 9 weeks female TAL-cKO compared to control kidneys. In male TAL-cKO kidneys, Akr1b1 gene expression was significantly reduced at 9, and 12-weeks of age, which increased at 16 weeks compared to controls. (C) Ranbp3l expression is significantly lower in 6, 9, 12- and 16-week-old male TAL-cKO mouse kidneys while it varies in female TAL-cKO mice; no significant reduction was observed in female TAL-cKO mice compared to littermate controls ( Myh9 f/f ; Myh10 f/f ; Umod +/+ ), (n=3 each). Two-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey’s test was used to determine differences in gene expression between control and TAL-cKO mice. (D) IMCD3 cells cultured in 300mOsm media show detectable levels of Scnn1g (γENaC) gene expression. Scnn1g expression is significantly lower in cells cultured in 600mOsm media compared to those cultured in 300mOsm media. The expression of the αENaC and βENaC subunits are less influenced by changes in extracellular osmolarity. n=6-8 biological replicates. One-way ANOVA with post-hoc Dunnett’s T3 multiple comparisons was used for statistical analysis of gene expression.
