Abstract Mutations in the NPHS1 gene, which encodes NEPHRIN, cause congenital nephrotic syndrome, resulting from impaired slit diaphragm (SD) formation in glomerular podocytes. We previously reported NEPHRIN and SD abnormalities in the podocytes of kidney organoids generated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) with an NPHS1 missense mutation (E725D). However, the mechanisms underlying the disease may vary depending on the mutations involved, and thus generation of iPSCs from multiple patients is warranted. Here we established iPSCs from two additional patients with different NPHS1 mutations and examined the podocyte abnormalities in kidney organoids derived from these cells. One patient had truncating mutations, and NEPHRIN was undetectable in the resulting organoids. The other patient had a missense mutation (R460Q), and the mutant NEPHRIN in the organoids failed to accumulate on the podocyte surface to form SD precursors. However, the same mutant protein behaved normally when overexpressed in heterologous cells, suggesting that NEPHRIN localization is cell context-dependent. The localization of another SD-associated protein, PODOCIN, was impaired in both types of mutant organoids in a cell domain-specific manner. Thus, the new iPSC lines and resultant kidney organoids will be useful resources for dissecting the disease mechanisms, as well as for drug development for therapies. |
