    Abstract Previous research has shown that podocytes unable to assemble heparan sulfate on cell surface proteoglycan core proteins have compromised cell-matrix interactions. This report further explores the role of N-sulfation of intact heparan chains in podocyte-matrix interactions. For the purposes of this study, a murine model in which the enzyme N-deacetylase/N-sulfotransferase 1 (NDST1) was specifically deleted in podocytes and immortalized podocyte cell lines lacking NDST1 were developed and used to explore the effects of such a mutation on podocyte behavior in vitro. NDST1 is a bifunctional enzyme, ultimately responsible for N-sulfation of heparan glycosaminoglycans produced by cells. Immunostaining of glomeruli from mice whose podocytes were null for Ndst1 (Ndst1(-/-)) showed a disrupted pattern of localization for the cell surface proteoglycan, syndecan-4, and for α-actinin-4 compared with controls. The pattern of immunostaining for synaptopodin and nephrin did not show as significant alterations. In vitro studies showed that Ndst1(-/-) podocytes attached, spread, and migrated less efficiently than Ndst1(+/+) podocytes. Immunostaining in vitro for several markers for molecules involved in cell-matrix interactions showed that Ndst1(-/-) cells had decreased clustering of syndecan-4 and decreased recruitment of protein kinase-Cα, α-actinin-4, vinculin, and phospho-focal adhesion kinase to focal adhesions. Total intracellular phospho-focal adhesion kinase was decreased in Ndst1(-/-) compared with Ndst1(+/+) cells. A significant decrease in the abundance of activated integrin α5β1 on the cell surface of Ndst1(-/-) cells compared with Ndst1(+/+) cells was observed. These results serve to highlight the critical role of heparan sulfate N-sulfation in facilitating normal podocyte-matrix interactions.

    Abstract Heparan sulfate proteoglycans have been shown to modulate podocyte adhesion to--and pedicel organization on--the glomerular basement membrane. Recent studies showed that foot process effacement developed in a mutant mouse model whose podocytes were unable to assemble heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains. This study, a further refinement, explored the role of heparan N-sulfation on podocyte behavior. A novel mutant mouse (Ndst1(-/-)) was developed, having podocyte-specific deletion of Ndst1, the enzyme responsible for N-sulfation of heparan sulfate chains. Podocytes having this mutation had foot process effacement and abnormal adhesion to Bowman's capsule. Although glomerular hypertrophy did develop in the kidneys of mutant animals, mesangial expansion was not seen. The lack of heparan N-sulfation did not affect the expression of agrin or perlecan proteoglycan core proteins. Loss of N-sulfation did not result in significant proteinuria, but the increase in the albumin/creatinine ratio was coincident with the development of the enlarged lysosomes in the proximal tubules. Thus, although the renal phenotype of the Ndst1(-/-) mouse is mild, the data show that heparan chain N-sulfation plays a key role in podocyte organization.
