Our understanding of kidney disease pathogenesis is limited by the incomplete molecular characterization of cell types responsible for kidney functions. Application of single-cell technologies for the study of the kidney has revealed cellular heterogeneity, gene expression signatures, and molecular dynamics during the onset and development of kidney diseases. Single-cell analyses of kidney organoids and allograft tissues offer new insights into kidney organogenesis, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic outcomes.
Background: The kidney is a highly complex organ that performs diverse functions that are essential for health. Kidney disease occurs when the kidneys are damaged and fail to function properly. Single-cell analysis is a powerful technology that provides unprecedented insights into normal and abnormal kidney cell types and will transform our understanding of the mechanism underlying common kidney diseases. Summary: Our understanding of kidney disease pathogenesis is limited by the incomplete molecular characterization of cell types responsible for kidney functions. Application of single-cell technologies for the study of the kidney has revealed cellular heterogeneity, gene expression signatures, and molecular dynamics during the onset and development of kidney diseases. Single-cell analyses of kidney organoids and allograft tissues offer new insights into kidney organogenesis, disease mechanisms, and therapeutic outcomes. Collectively, a better understanding of kidney cell heterogeneity and the molecular dynamics of kidney diseases will improve diagnostic accuracy and facilitate the identification of novel treatment strategies in nephrology. Key Message: In this review article, we summarize recent single-cell studies on kidney diseases and discuss the impact of single-cell technology on both basic and clinical nephrology research.
