Abstract
Key Points
Drosophila nephrocytes feature a special basement membrane that may serve to model joint function of the glomerular filtration barrier.Silencing of Drosophila laminin and collagen IV genes reduced the density of slit diaphragms in nephrocytes, showing a direct effect of the matrix.Matrix receptor silencing phenocopied basement membrane disruption, indicating that the matrix guides slit diaphragm position through matrix receptors.
Background
The glomerular basement membrane and the slit diaphragm are essential parts of the filtration barrier. How these layers collaborate remains unclear. The podocyte-like nephrocytes in Drosophila harbor both a slit diaphragm and a basement membrane, serving as a model to address this critical question.
Methods
Basement membrane components and matrix receptors were silenced using RNA interference in nephrocytes. Slit diaphragms were analyzed using immunofluorescence, followed by automated quantification. Tracer endocytosis was applied for functional readouts.
Results
Immunofluorescence indicated a significant reduction in slit diaphragm density upon loss of laminin and collagen IV components. This was accompanied by reduced expression of fly nephrin and shallower membrane invaginations. Tracer studies revealed that the basement membrane defines properties of the nephrocyte filtration barrier. Acute enzymatic disruption of the basement membrane via collagenase rapidly caused slit diaphragm mislocalization and disintegration, which was independent of cell death. Loss of matrix-interacting receptors, particularly integrins mys and mew, phenocopied basement membrane disruption. Integrins and nephrin colocalized at the slit diaphragm in nephrocytes in a mutually dependent manner, interacting genetically. Human integrin α3 interacted physically with nephrin.
Conclusions
The glomerular basement membrane model in Drosophila nephrocytes reveals that matrix receptor–mediated cues ensure correct positioning of the slit diaphragm and the overall filtration barrier architecture.

Abstract
Human-specific insertions play important roles in human phenotypes and diseases. Here we reported a 446-bp insertion (Insert-446) in intron 11 of the TBC1D8B gene, located on chromosome X, and traced its origin to a portion of intron 6 of the EBF1 gene on chromosome 5. Interestingly, Insert-446 was present in the human Neanderthal and Denisovans genomes, and was fixed in humans after human-chimpanzee divergence. We have demonstrated that Insert-446 acts as an enhancer through binding transcript factors that promotes a higher expression of human TBC1D8B gene as compared with orthologs in macaques. In addition, over-expression TBC1D8B promoted cell proliferation and migration through "a dual finger" catalytic mechanism (Arg538 and Gln573) in the TBC domain in vitro and knockdown of TBC1D8B attenuated tumorigenesis in vivo. Knockout of Insert-446 prevented cell proliferation and migration in cancer and normal cells. Our results reveal that the human-specific Insert-446 promotes cell proliferation and migration by upregulating the expression of TBC1D8B gene. These findings provide a significant insight into the effects of human-specific insertions on evolution.

Abstract
Alport syndrome is a hereditary chronic kidney disease, attributed to rare pathogenic variants in either of three collagen genes (COL4A3/4/5) with most localized in COL4A5. Trimeric type IV Collagen α3α4α5 is essential for the glomerular basement membrane that forms the kidney filtration barrier. A means to functionally assess the many candidate variants and determine pathogenicity is urgently needed. We used Drosophila, an established model for kidney disease, and identify Col4a1 as the functional homolog of human COL4A5 in the fly nephrocyte (equivalent of human podocyte). Fly nephrocytes deficient for Col4a1 showed an irregular and thickened basement membrane and significantly reduced nephrocyte filtration function. This phenotype was restored by expressing human reference (wildtype) COL4A5, but not by COL4A5 carrying any of three established pathogenic patient-derived variants. We then screened seven additional patient COL4A5 variants; their ClinVar classification was either likely pathogenic or of uncertain significance. The findings support pathogenicity for four of these variants; the three others were found benign. Thus, demonstrating the effectiveness of this Drosophila in vivo kidney platform in providing the urgently needed variant-level functional validation.

Abstract
Biological and biomedical research using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism has gained recognition through several Nobel prizes within the last 100 years. Drosophila exhibits several advantages when compared to other in vivo models such as mice and rats, as its life cycle is very short, animal maintenance is easy and inexpensive and a huge variety of transgenic strains and tools are publicly available. Moreover, more than 70% of human disease-causing genes are highly conserved in the fruit fly. Here, we explain the use of Drosophila in nephrology research and describe two kidney tissues, Malpighian tubules and the nephrocytes. The latter are the homologous cells to mammalian glomerular podocytes and helped to provide insights into a variety of signaling pathways due to the high morphological similarities and the conserved molecular make-up between nephrocytes and podocytes. In recent years, nephrocytes have also been used to study inter-organ communication as links between nephrocytes and the heart, the immune system and the muscles have been described. In addition, other tissues such as the eye and the reproductive system can be used to study the functional role of proteins being part of the kidney filtration barrier.

Interaction of the sorting nexin 25 homologue Snazarus with Rab11 balances endocytic and secretory transport and maintains the ultrafiltration diaphragm in nephrocytes. Mol Biol Cell 2023; 34:ar87.

Abstract
Proper balance of exocytosis and endocytosis is important for the maintenance of plasma membrane lipid and protein homeostasis. This is especially critical in human podocytes and the podocyte-like Drosophila nephrocytes that both use a delicate diaphragm system with evolutionarily conserved components for ultrafiltration. Here, we show that the sorting nexin 25 homologue Snazarus (Snz) binds to Rab11 and localizes to Rab11-positive recycling endosomes in Drosophila nephrocytes, unlike in fat cells where it is present in plasma membrane/lipid droplet/endoplasmic reticulum contact sites. Loss of Snz leads to redistribution of Rab11 vesicles from the cell periphery and increases endocytic activity in nephrocytes. These changes are accompanied by defects in diaphragm protein distribution that resemble those seen in Rab11 gain-of-function cells. Of note, co-overexpression of Snz rescues diaphragm defects in Rab11 overexpressing cells, whereas snz knockdown in Rab11 overexpressing nephrocytes or simultaneous knockdown of snz and tbc1d8b encoding a Rab11 GTPase-activating protein (GAP) leads to massive expansion of the lacunar system that contains mislocalized diaphragm components: Sns and Pyd/ZO-1. We find that loss of Snz enhances while its overexpression impairs secretion, which, together with genetic epistasis analyses, suggest that Snz counteracts Rab11 to maintain the diaphragm via setting the proper balance of exocytosis and endocytosis.

Impaired Endosome Maturation Mediates Tubular Proteinuria in Dent Disease Cell Culture and Mouse Models. J Am Soc Nephrol 2023; 34:619-640. [PMID: 36758125 PMCID: PMC10103310 DOI: 10.1681/asn.0000000000000084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Loss of function of the 2Cl - /H + antiporter ClC-5 in Dent disease causes an unknown impairment in endocytic traffic, leading to tubular proteinuria. The authors integrated data from biochemical and quantitative imaging studies in proximal tubule cells into a mathematical model to determine that loss of ClC-5 impairs endosome acidification and delays early endosome maturation in proximal tubule cells, resulting in reduced megalin recycling, surface expression, and half-life. Studies in a Dent mouse model also revealed subsegment-specific differences in the effects of ClC-5 knockout on proximal tubule subsegments. The approach provides a template to dissect the effects of mutations or perturbations that alter tubular recovery of filtered proteins from the level of individual cells to the entire proximal tubule axis. BACKGROUND Loss of function of the 2Cl - /H + antiporter ClC-5 in Dent disease impairs the uptake of filtered proteins by the kidney proximal tubule, resulting in tubular proteinuria. Reduced posttranslational stability of megalin and cubilin, the receptors that bind to and recover filtered proteins, is believed to underlie the tubular defect. How loss of ClC-5 leads to reduced receptor expression remains unknown. METHODS We used biochemical and quantitative imaging data to adapt a mathematical model of megalin traffic in ClC-5 knockout and control cells. Studies in ClC-5 knockout mice were performed to describe the effect of ClC-5 knockout on megalin traffic in the S1 segment and along the proximal tubule axis. RESULTS The model predicts that ClC-5 knockout cells have reduced rates of exit from early endosomes, resulting in decreased megalin recycling, surface expression, and half-life. Early endosomes had lower [Cl - ] and higher pH. We observed more profound effects in ClC-5 knockout cells expressing the pathogenic ClC-5 E211G mutant. Alterations in the cellular distribution of megalin in ClC-5 knockout mice were consistent with delayed endosome maturation and reduced recycling. Greater reductions in megalin expression were observed in the proximal tubule S2 cells compared with S1, with consequences to the profile of protein retrieval along the proximal tubule axis. CONCLUSIONS Delayed early endosome maturation due to impaired acidification and reduced [Cl - ] accumulation is the primary mediator of reduced proximal tubule receptor expression and tubular proteinuria in Dent disease. Rapid endosome maturation in proximal tubule cells is critical for the efficient recovery of filtered proteins.
