    Abstract Current therapeutic options for renal diseases are limited, and the search for disease-specific treatments is ongoing. Nanobodies, single-domain antibodies with many advantages over conventional antibodies, provide flexible, easy-to-format biologicals with many possible applications. Here, we discuss the potential use of nanobodies for renal diseases.

    Abstract Hypoxia-induced intrauterine growth restriction increases the risk for cardiovascular, renal, and other chronic diseases in adults, representing thus a major public health problem. Still, not much is known about the fetal mechanisms that predispose these individuals to disease. Using a previously validated mouse model of fetal hypoxia and bottom-up proteomics, we characterize the response of the fetal kidney to chronic hypoxic stress. Fetal kidneys exhibit a dichotomous response to chronic hypoxia, comprising on the one hand cellular adaptations that promote survival (glycolysis, autophagy, and reduced DNA and protein synthesis), but on the other processes that induce a senescence-like phenotype (infiltration of inflammatory cells, DNA damage, and reduced proliferation). Importantly, chronic hypoxia also reduces the expression of the antiaging proteins klotho and Sirt6, a mechanism that is evolutionary conserved between mice and humans. Taken together, we uncover that predetermined aging during fetal development is a key event in chronic hypoxia, establishing a solid foundation for Barker's hypothesis of fetal programming of adult diseases. This phenotype is associated with a characteristic biomarker profile in tissue and serum samples, exploitable for detecting and targeting accelerated aging in chronic hypoxic human diseases.

    Abstract In utero renal development is subject to maternal metabolic and environmental influences affecting long-term renal function and the risk of developing chronic kidney failure and cardiovascular disease. Epigenetic processes have been implicated in the orchestration of renal development and prenatal programming of nephron number. However, the role of many epigenetic modifiers for kidney development is still unclear. Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins act as histone acetylation reader molecules and promote gene transcription. BET family members Brd2, Brd3 and Brd4 are expressed in the nephrogenic zone during kidney development. Here, the effect of the BET inhibitor JQ1 on renal development is evaluated. Inhibition of BET proteins via JQ1 leads to reduced growth of metanephric kidney cultures, loss of the nephron progenitor cell population, and premature and disturbed nephron differentiation. Gene expression of key nephron progenitor transcription factor Osr1 is downregulated after 24 h BET inhibition, while Lhx1 and Pax8 expression is increased. Mining of BRD4 ChIP-seq and gene expression data identify Osr1 as a key factor regulated by BRD4-controlled gene activation. Inhibition of BRD4 by BET inhibitor JQ1 leads to downregulation of Osr1, thereby causing a disturbance in the balance of nephron progenitor cell self-renewal and premature differentiation of the nephron, which ultimately leads to kidney hypoplasia and disturbed nephron development. This raises questions about the potential teratogenic effects of BET inhibitors for embryonic development. In summary, our work highlights the role of BET proteins for prenatal programming of nephrogenesis and identifies Osr1 as a potential target of BET proteins.

    Abstract The P2X7 ion channel is a key sensor for extracellular ATP and a key trigger of sterile inflammation. Intravenous injection of nanobodies that block P2X7 has shown to be beneficial in mouse models of systemic inflammation. P2X7 has also emerged as an attractive therapeutic target for inflammatory brain diseases. However, little is known about the ability of nanobodies to cross the BBB. Here we evaluated the ability of P2X7-specific nanobodies to reach and to block P2X7 on microglia following intravenous or intracerebral administration. For this study, we reformatted and sequence-optimized P2X7 nanobodies for higher stability and elevated isoelectric point. Following injection of nanobodies or nanobody-encoding adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV), we monitored the occupancy and blockade of microglial P2X7
