Background
The knowledge of the complexity of cell types, states and their interactions during homeostasis or disease is needed to identify the mechanisms of kidney disease.
Methods
We have applied multiple single cell or nucleus omic assays (>400,000 nuclei/cells) that capture gene regulation, expression and their spatial relationships to a broad spectrum of healthy reference (35) and disease kidney tissues (50, AKI or CKD) to establish a robust atlas of the cellular diversity representing kidney function or dysfunction.
Results
We identified 100 cell clusters including rare and novel cell populations and their spatial locations spanning the entire kidney. Among these, we define cellular states associated with kidney injury alterations that represent cycling, adaptive or maladaptive repair and degenerative states, their associated regulatory factors, and genes and pathways underlying these transitions. Molecular signatures of these states permit their classification and spatial localization within injury neighborhoods, allowing discovery of intercellular signaling relevant to acute or chronic injury. Large scale 3D imaging linked glomerular, proximal tubule and thick ascending limb injured cells to an active immune response that is uniquely associated with tubular cells. The altered state gene signatures were negatively associated with a decline in eGFR in patients with chronic kidney disease in two separate cohorts.
Conclusion
This comprehensive molecular, cellular and spatial atlas serves as a benchmark to identify nascent and altered kidney cell states, define therapeutic targets in individual patient samples and engineer healthy kidneys.
