    Abstract In the past two decades, intravital imaging using multiphoton microscopy has provided numerous new visual and mechanistic insights into glomerular biology and disease processes including the function of glomerular endothelial cells (GEnC), podocytes, and the development of proteinuria. Although glomerular endothelial injury is known to precede podocyte damage in several renal diseases, the primary role of GEnCs in proteinuria development received much less attention compared to the vast field of podocyte pathobiology. Consequently, our knowledge of GEnC mechanisms in glomerular diseases is still emerging. This review highlights new visual clues on molecular and cellular mechanisms of GEnCs and their crosstalk with podocytes and immune cells that were acquired recently by the application of multiphoton imaging of the intact glomerular microenvironment in various proteinuric disease models. New mechanisms of glomerular tissue remodeling and regeneration are discussed based on results of tracking the fate and function of individual GEnCs using serial intravital multiphoton imaging over several days and weeks. The three main topics of this review include (i) the role of endothelial injury and microthrombi in podocyte detachment and albumin leakage via hemodynamic and mechanical forces, (ii) the alterations of the endothelial surface layer (glycocalyx) and its interactions with circulating immune cells in lupus nephritis, and (iii) the structural and functional remodeling and regeneration of GEnCs in hypertension, diabetes, and other experimental injury conditions. By the comprehensive visual portrayal of GEnCs and the many other contributing glomerular cell types, this review emphasizes the complexity of pathogenic mechanisms that result in proteinuria development.

    Abstract Proper histological measurement of kidney fibrosis is essentially important in both clinical pathology and basic research using animal models of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, standard histology techniques and their blind evaluation are cumbersome. Ranjit et al. applied an advanced optical microscopy technique for hassle-free, unbiased, and highly sensitive characterization of kidney fibrosis and tested it in a classic model of chronic kidney disease in mice. This commentary emphasizes the advantages and future promise of this new approach.

    Abstract This article summarizes the past, present, and future promise of multiphoton excitation fluorescence microscopy for intravital kidney imaging. During the past 15years, several high-power visual research approaches have been developed using multiphoton imaging to study the normal functions of the healthy, intact, living kidney, and the various molecular and cellular mechanisms of the development of kidney diseases. In this review, the main focus will be on intravital multiphoton imaging of the glomerulus, the structure and function of the glomerular filtration barrier, especially the podocyte. Examples will be given for the combination of two powerful research tools, in vivo multiphoton imaging and mouse genetics using commercially available whole animal models for the detailed characterization of glomerular cell types, their function and fate, and for the better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of glomerular pathologies. One of the new modalities of multiphoton imaging, serial imaging of the same glomerulus in the same animal over several days will be emphasized for its potential for further advancing the field of nephrology research.

    Abstract Excess dietary salt (NaCl) intake is strongly correlated with cardiovascular disease and is a major contributing factor to the pathogenesis of hypertension. NaCl-sensitive hypertension is a multisystem disorder that involves renal dysfunction, vascular abnormalities, and neurogenically-mediated increases in peripheral resistance. Despite a major research focus on organ systems and these effector mechanisms causing NaCl-induced increases in arterial blood pressure, relatively less research has been directed at elucidating how NaCl is sensed by various tissues to elicit these downstream effects. The purpose of this review is to discuss how the brain, kidney, and gastrointestinal tract sense NaCl including key cell types, the role of NaCl versus osmolality, and the underlying molecular and electrochemical mechanisms.

    Abstract Intrarenal control mechanisms play an important role in the maintenance of body fluid and electrolyte balance and pH homeostasis. Recent discoveries of new ion transport and regulatory pathways in the distal nephron and collecting duct system have helped to better our understanding of these critical kidney functions and identified new potential therapeutic targets and approaches. In this issue of the JCI, Tokonami et al. report on the function of an exciting new paracrine mediator, the mitochondrial the citric acid(TCA) cycle intermediate α-ketoglutarate (αKG), which via its OXGR1 receptor plays an unexpected, nontraditional role in the adaptive regulation of renal HCO(3⁻) secretion and salt reabsorption.

    Abstract Macula densa (MD) cells, a chief sensory cell type in the nephron, are endowed with unique microanatomic features including a high density of protein synthetic organelles and secretory vesicles in basal cell processes ("maculapodia") that suggest a so far unknown high rate of MD protein synthesis. This study aimed to explore the rate and regulation of MD protein synthesis and their effects on glomerular function using novel transgenic mouse models, newly established fluorescence cell biology techniques, and intravital microscopy.

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus is the most common and rapidly growing cause of end-stage renal disease. A classic hallmark of diabetes pathology is the activation of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which may lead to hypertension and renal tissue injury, but the mechanism of RAS activation has been elusive. Recently, we described the intrarenal localization of the novel metabolic receptor GPR91 and established some of its functions in diabetes. These include the triggering of renin release in early diabetes via both vascular (endothelial) and tubular (macula densa) sites in the juxtaglomerular apparatus as well as the activation of MAP kinases in the distal nephron-collecting duct, which are important signaling mechanisms in diabetic nephropathy (DN) and renal fibrosis. GPR91 is a cell surface receptor for succinate and during the past few years it has provided a new paradigm for the mechanism of cell stress response in many organs. Beyond its traditional role in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, succinate now has an unexpected hormone-like signaling function, which may provide a feedback between local tissue metabolism, mitochondrial stress, and organ functions. Succinate accumulation in the local tissue environment and GPR91 signaling appear to be important early mechanisms by which cells detect and respond to hyperglycemia and trigger tissue injury in DN. Also, the distal nephron-collecting duct system, which is the major source of (pro)renin in diabetes and has the highest level of GPR91 expression in the kidney, may have an important, active, and early role in the pathogenesis of DN in contrast to the existing glomerulus-centric paradigm.

    Abstract Podocyte calcium (Ca2+) signaling plays important roles in the (patho)physiology of the glomerular filtration barrier. Overactivation of podocyte transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels including TRPC6 and purinergic signaling via P2 receptors that are known mechanosensors can increase podocyte intracellular Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]i) and cause cell injury, proteinuria and glomerular disease including in diabetes. However, important mechanistic details of the trigger and activation of these pathways in vivo in the intact glomerular environment are lacking. Here we show direct visual evidence that podocytes can sense mechanical overload (increased glomerular capillary pressure) and metabolic alterations (increased plasma glucose) via TRPC6 and purinergic receptors including P2Y2. Multiphoton microscopy of podocyte [Ca2+]i was performed in vivo using wild-type and TRPC6 or P2Y2 knockout (KO) mice expressing the calcium reporter GCaMP3/5 only in podocytes and in vitro using freshly dissected microperfused glomeruli. Single-nephron intra-glomerular capillary pressure elevations induced by obstructing the efferent arteriole lumen with laser-induced microthrombus in vivo and by a micropipette in vitro triggered >2-fold increases in podocyte [Ca2+]i. These responses were blocked in TRPC6 and P2Y2 KO mice. Acute elevations of plasma glucose caused >4-fold increases in podocyte [Ca2+]i that were abolished by pharmacological inhibition of TRPC6 or P2 receptors using SAR7334 or suramin treatment, respectively. This study established the role of Ca2+ signaling via TRPC6 channels and P2 receptors in mechanical and metabolic sensing of podocytes in vivo, which are promising therapeutic targets in conditions with high intra-glomerular capillary pressure and plasma glucose, such as diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy.
