ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
N-glycosylation is one of the most common posttranslational modifications in humans, and these alterations are associated with kidney diseases.METHODS:
A novel technological approach, single-cell N-acetyllactosamine sequencing (scLacNAc-seq), was applied to simultaneously detect N-glycosylation expression and the transcriptome at single-cell resolution in three human kidney tissues from zero-time biopsy. Cell clusters, glycation abundance in each cell cluster, functional enrichment analysis, cell-cell crosstalk, and pseudotime analysis were applied.RESULTS:
Using scLacNAc-seq, 24,247 cells and 22 cell clusters were identified, and N-glycan abundance in each cell was obtained. Transcriptome analysis revealed a close connection between capillary endothelial cells (CapECs) and parietal epithelial cells (PECs). PECs and CapECs communicate with each other through several pairs of ligand receptors (e.g., TGFB1-EGFR, GRN-EGFR, TIMP1-FGFR2, VEGFB-FLT1, ANGPT2-TEK, and GRN-TNFRSF1A). Finally, a regulatory network of cell-cell crosstalk between PECs and CapECs was constructed, which is involved in cell development.CONCLUSIONS:
We here, for the first time, constructed the glycosylation profile of 22 cell clusters in the human kidney from zero-time biopsy. Moreover, cell-cell communication between PECs and CapECs through the ligand-receptor system may play a crucial regulatory role in cell proliferation.Palavras-chave
