Urine Single-Cell RNA Sequencing in Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Reveals Inflammatory Signatures, Khun Zaw Latt, Jurgen Heymann, Joseph H. Jessee, Avi Z. Rosenberg, Celine C. Berthier, Arnon Arazi, Sean Eddy, Teruhiko Yoshida, Yongmei Zhao, Vicky Chen, George W. Nelson, Margaret Cam, Parimal Kumar, Monika Mehta, Michael C. Kelly, Matthias Kretzler, Kidney International Reports (2022) 7, 289–304, DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2021.11.005
The identification of monocyte subsets and podocyte expression signatures in the urine samples of subjects with FSGS suggests that urine cell profiling might serve as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in nephrotic syndrome. Furthermore, this approach may aid in the development of novel biomarkers and identifying personalized therapies targeting particular molecular pathways in immune cells and podocytes.
