Landscape of GPCR expression along the mouse nephron

Landscape of GPCR expression along the mouse nephron Kidney transport and other renal functions are regulated by multiple G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed along the renal tubule. The rapid, recent appearance of comprehensive unbiased gene expression data in the various renal tubule segments, chiefly RNA-seq and protein mass spectrometry data, has provided a means of identifying patterns of GPCR expression along the renal tubule. To allow for comprehensive mapping, we first curated a comprehensive list of GPCRs in the genomes of mice, rats, and humans (https://hpcwebapps.cit.nih.gov/ESBL/Database/GPCRs/), using multiple online data sources. We used this list to mine segment-specific and cell-type specific expression data from RNA-seq studies in microdissected mouse tubule segments to identify GPCRs that are selectively expressed in discrete tubule segments. Comparisons of these mapped mouse GPCRs with other omics datasets as well as functional data from isolated perfused tubule and micro-puncture studies confirms patterns of expression for well-known receptors and identifies poorly studied GPCRs that are likely to play roles in regulation of renal tubule function. Thus, we provide data resources for GPCR expression across the renal tubule, highlighting both well-known GPCRs and understudied receptors in order to provide guidance for future studies. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology The American Physiological Society

Abstract

Kidney transport and other renal functions are regulated by multiple G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) expressed along the renal tubule. The rapid, recent appearance of comprehensive unbiased gene expression data in the various renal tubule segments, chiefly RNA-seq and protein mass spectrometry data, has provided a means of identifying patterns of GPCR expression along the renal tubule. To allow for comprehensive mapping, we first curated a comprehensive list of GPCRs in the genomes of mice, rats, and humans (https://hpcwebapps.cit.nih.gov/ESBL/Database/GPCRs/), using multiple online data sources. We used this list to mine segment-specific and cell-type specific expression data from RNA-seq studies in microdissected mouse tubule segments to identify GPCRs that are selectively expressed in discrete tubule segments. Comparisons of these mapped mouse GPCRs with other omics datasets as well as functional data from isolated perfused tubule and micro-puncture studies confirms patterns of expression for well-known receptors and identifies poorly studied GPCRs that are likely to play roles in regulation of renal tubule function. Thus, we provide data resources for GPCR expression across the renal tubule, highlighting both well-known GPCRs and understudied receptors in order to provide guidance for future studies.
