BackgroundDuring mammalian kidney development, nephron progenitors undergo a mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition and eventually differentiate into the various tubular segments of the nephron. Recently, Drop-seq single-cell RNA sequencing technology for measuring gene expression from thousands of individual cells identified the different cell types in the developing kidney. However, that analysis did not include the additional layer of heterogeneity that alternative mRNA splicing creates.MethodsFull transcript length single-cell RNA sequencing characterized the transcriptomes of 544 individual cells from mouse embryonic kidneys.ResultsGene expression levels measured with full transcript length single-cell RNA sequencing identified each cell type. Further analysis comprehensively characterized splice isoform switching during the transition between mesenchymal and epithelial cellular states, which is a key transitional process in kidney development. The study also identified several putative splicing regulators, including the genes Esrp1/2 and Rbfox1/2.ConclusionsDiscovery of the sets of genes that are alternatively spliced as the fetal kidney mesenchyme differentiates into tubular epithelium will improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that drive kidney development.

ABSTRACTDuring mammalian kidney development, nephron progenitors undergo a mesenchymal to epithelial transition and eventually differentiate into the various tubular segments of the nephron. Recently, the different cell types in the developing kidney were characterized using the Dropseq single cell RNA sequencing technology for measuring gene expression from thousands of individual cells. However, many genes can also be alternatively spliced and this creates an additional layer of heterogeneity. We therefore used full transcript length single-cell RNA sequencing to obtain the transcriptomes of 544 individual cells from mouse embryonic kidneys. We first used gene expression levels to identify each cell type. Then, we comprehensively characterized the splice isoform switching that occurs during the transition between mesenchymal and epithelial cellular states and identified several putative splicing regulators, including the genes Esrp1/2 and Rbfox1/2. We anticipate that these results will improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in kidney development.

AbstractKidney development requires the coordinated growth and differentiation of multiple cells. Despite recent single cell profiles in nephrogenesis research, tools for data analysis are rapidly developing, and offer an opportunity to gain additional insight into kidney development. In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing data obtained from embryonic mouse kidney were re-analyzed. Manifold learning based on partition-based graph-abstraction coordinated cells, reflecting their expected lineage relationships. Consequently, the coordination in combination with ForceAtlas2 enabled the inference of parietal epithelial cells of Bowman’s capsule and the inference of cells involved in the developmental process from the S-shaped body to each nephron segment. RNA velocity suggested developmental sequences of proximal tubules and podocytes. In combination with a Markov chain algorithm, RNA velocity suggested the self-renewal processes of nephron progenitors. NicheNet analyses suggested that not only cells belonging to ureteric bud and stroma, but also endothelial cells, macrophages, and pericytes may contribute to the differentiation of cells from nephron progenitors. Organ culture of embryonic mouse kidney demonstrated that nerve growth factor, one of the nephrogenesis-related factors inferred by NicheNet, contributed to mitochondrial biogenesis in developing distal tubules. These approaches suggested previously unrecognized aspects of the underlying mechanisms for kidney development.
