    Abstract Kidney function decreases with age and may soon limit millions of lives as the proportion of the population over 70 years of age increases. Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) is involved with metabolism and may have a role in kidney senescence, positioning it as a target for complications from chronic kidney disease. However, different studies suggest GSK3 has contrasting effects. In this issue of the JCI, Fang et al. explored the function of GSK3β and the interplay with lithium using human tissue and mouse models. Notably, GSK3β was overexpressed and activated in aging mice, and depleting GSK3β reduced senescence and glomerular aging. In this Commentary, we explore the similarities and differences between Fang et al. and previous findings by Hurcombe et al. These findings should prompt further study of lithium and other GSK3β inhibitors as a means of extending glomerular function in individuals with chronic kidney disease.

    Abstract The mammalian kidney is composed of thousands of nephrons that are formed through reiterative induction of a mesenchymal-to-epithelial transformation by a population of nephron progenitor cells. The number of nephrons in human kidneys ranges from several hundred thousand to nearly a million, and low nephron number has been implicated as a risk factor for kidney disease as an adult. Bmp7 is among a small number of growth factors required to support the proliferation and self-renewal of nephron progenitor cells, in a process that will largely determine the final nephron number. Once induced, each nephron begins as a simple tubule that undergoes extensive proliferation and segmental differentiation. Bmp7 is expressed both by nephron progenitor cells and the ureteric bud derivative branches that induce new nephrons. Here, we show that, in mice, Bmp7 expressed by progenitor cells has a major role in determining nephron number; nephron number is reduced to one tenth its normal value in its absence. Postnatally, Bmp7 also drives proliferation of the proximal tubule cells, and these ultimately constitute the largest segment of the nephron. Bmp7 appears to act through Smad 1,5,9(8), p38 and JNK MAP kinase. In the absence of Bmp7, nephrons undergo a hypertrophic process that involves p38. Following a global inactivation of Bmp7, we also see evidence for Bmp7-driven growth of the nephron postnatally. Thus, we identify a role for Bmp7 in supporting the progenitor population and driving expansion of nephrons to produce a mature kidney.

    Abstract Kidney development has been studied over the past sixty years as a model of embryonic induction during organogenesis. Wilms' tumor-1 (WT1), that encodes a transcription factor and RNA-binding protein, was one of the first tumor suppressor genes identified, and was soon thereafter shown to be associated with syndromic forms of childhood kidney disease and gonadal dysgenesis. Kidney agenesis, resulting from a null mutation in the WT1 gene, was one of the first examples of organ agenesis resulting from a gene targeting experiment. Thus, the study of the WT1 gene and its encoded proteins has been at the forefront of developmental biology, tumor biology and the molecular basis for disease. WT1 is now known to have an important role in kidney progenitor cells during development. This review will discuss recent advances in our understanding of kidney progenitor cells, and the recent identification of WT1 target genes in these cells.

    Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small, noncoding RNAs that act as novel regulators of gene expression through the post-transcriptional repression of their target mRNAs. miRNAs have been implicated in diverse biologic processes, and it is estimated that up to half of all transcripts are regulated by miRNAs. Recent studies also demonstrate a critical role for miRNAs in renal development, physiology, and pathophysiology. Understanding the function of miRNAs in the kidney may lead to innovative approaches to renal disease.

    Abstract The discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) as novel regulators of gene expression has led to a marked change in how gene regulation is viewed, with important implications for development and disease. MiRNAs are endogenous, small, noncoding RNAs that largely repress their target mRNAs post-transcriptionally. The regulation of gene expression by miRNAs represents an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that is broadly applicable to most biological processes. Recent studies have begun to define the role of miRNAs in different cell lineages during kidney development, and to implicate specific miRNAs in developmental and pathophysiological processes in the kidney. This review will focus on novel insights into the role(s) of miRNAs in kidney development, and discuss the implications for pediatric renal disease.
