Project Title:Role of cilia in mitochondrial function
Project Summary:Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common potentially lethal genetic disease in humans and the fourth leading cause of kidney disease, exhibits features of both a ciliary and metabolic disorder. Our previous research revealed that cells overexpressing Exoc5 with elongated cilia demonstrate enhanced recovery from oxidative stress. To investigate the connection between primary cilia and metabolism, we conducted an unbiased metabolomics screen. Global metabolic profiling was performed on canine MDCK cells (Control, Exoc5 ciliary targeting sequence mutation (CTS-mut), Exoc5 knockdown (KD), Exoc5 overexpression (OE)) and murine cells (Ift88 knockout (KO), Ift88 rescue). Knockdown (KD) or ciliary targeting sequence mutation (CTS-mut) in Exoc5, a central exocyst component, resulted in cilia loss. Similarly, Ift88 knockout (KO) resulted in cilia loss. For each experimental group, we cultivated six independent replicates of Exoc5 OE, KD, CTS-mut, and control MDCK cells, as well as six independent replicates of murine Ift88 KO and rescue cells. Cell pellets were obtained from the cultures, and we analyzed the global metabolic profiles for all 36 cell pellets. The most significant findings from the metabolomics screen indicated defects in tryptophan metabolism. This discovery suggests a potential link between primary cilia function and tryptophan-related metabolic pathways. Further exploration of these findings may shed light on the underlying mechanisms and implications for ADPKD pathogenesis and metabolic disturbances.
