A kidney organoid is a three-dimensional (3D) cellular aggregate grown from stem cells in vitro that undergoes self-organization, recapitulating aspects of normal renal development to produce nephron structures resemble the native organ. These miniature kidney-like can also be derived primary patient and thus provide simplified context observe how mutations kidney-disease-associated genes affect organogenesis physiological function. In past several years, advances technologies have achieved formation organoids with enhanced numbers specialized cell types, less heterogeneity, more architectural complexity. Microfluidic bioreactor culture devices, single-cell transcriptomics, bioinformatic analyses accelerated sophisticated tailored them become increasingly amenable high-throughput experimentation. However, many significant challenges remain realizing use for replacement therapies.

HNF4 genes promote proximal tubule differentiation in mice, but their function human nephrogenesis is not fully defined. This study uses pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived kidney organoids as a model to investigate HNF4A and HNF4G functions. The loss of , impaired reabsorption-related molecule expression microvilli formation tubules. Cleavage under targets release using nuclease (CUT&RUN) sequencing CRISPR-mediated transcriptional activation (CRISPRa) further confirm that directly regulates its target genes.

With a high incidence of acute kidney injury among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, considerable attention has been focussed on whether SARS-CoV-2 specifically targets cells to directly impact renal function, or damage is primarily an indirect outcome. To date, several studies have utilized organoids understand the pathogenesis COVID-19, revealing ability for predominantly infect proximal tubule (PT), with reduced infectivity following administration soluble ACE2. However, immaturity standard human represents significant hurdle, leaving preferred processing pathway, existence alternate viral receptors, and effect common hypertensive medications expression ACE2 in context exposure incompletely understood. Utilizing novel organoid model enhanced PT maturity, genetic- drug-mediated inhibition entry factors confirmed requirement but showed that virus can utilize dual spike protein pathways downstream receptor binding. These include TMPRSS- CTSL/CTSB-mediated non-endosomal endocytic pathways, TMPRSS10 likely playing more role pathway than TMPRSS2.

Heart and kidney communicate with one another in an interdependent relationship they influence each other's behavior reciprocally, as pathological changes organ can damage the other. Although independent human vitro models for heart exist, do not capture their dynamic crosstalk. We have developed a microfluidic system which be used to study interaction vitro. Cardiac microtissues (cMTs) organoids (kOs) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were generated loaded into two separated communicating chambers of perfusion chip. Static culture conditions compared under unidirectional flow. Tissue viability was maintained minimally 72 h both conditions, indicated by presence sarcomeric structure coupled beating activity cMTs nephron structures albumin uptake kOs. concluded that this enables cardiac organoid while controlling parameters like fluidic flow speed direction. Together, "cardiorenal-unit" provides new model cardiorenal axis it may further investigate diseases involving organs potential treatments.

The kidney proximal tubule is a key organ for human metabolism. responds to stress with altered metabolite transformation and perturbed metabolic pathways, an ultimate cause disease. Here, we review the tubule's function through integrative view of transport, metabolism, function, embed it in context metabolome-wide data-driven research. Function (filtration, secretion, reabsorption), transformation, signaling determine rewiring Energy metabolism substrates pathways are orchestrated by sensors. Given importance renal inner milieu, also communication routes other organs. Exciting research opportunities exist understand perturbation example, hypertension-associated We argue that, based on outlined here, diseases without genetic should be approached scientifically as diseases.
