Spatial proteomics identifies altered thick ascending limb cells as drivers of kidney disease through uromodulin retention

Azuma Nanamatsu, George J. Rhodes, William S. Bowen, Angela R. Sabo, Shehnaz Khan, Mahla Asghari, Dillen L Wischmeier, Daria Barwinska, Takashi Kudo, Azusa Tomioka, Hiroaki Sakaue, Atsushi Kuno, Ana C Ricardo, James Phillip Lash, Katherine R. Tuttle, , Tarek M. El‐Achkar

This study identifies altered thick ascending limb cells with UMOD retention as drivers of CKD using spatial proteomics and shows reducing UMOD retention attenuates CKD development.

Uromodulin promotes immune zonation and inhibits alternative inflammasome-mediated activation of immune-to-collecting duct inflammatory signaling in early acute kidney injury

Angela R. Sabo, Azuma Nanamatsu, Dillen Wischmeier, Connor J. Gulbronson, Shehnaz Khan, Radmila Micanovic, Seth Winfree, Tarek M. El‐Achkar, Kaice A. LaFavers

This study investigates how Uromodulin affects immune zonation and inflammasome activity in kidney injury, showing it reduces inflammation and immune cell interactions in specific kidney regions.
