Brief description of the research project and its aims: Microscopy images (confocal, brightfield) shown in the publication. We present here the unedited raw images in a .tif or .jpg format. The images are supplementary information for the various figures shown in the paper "Renal tissue-resident macrophages promote cystogenesis in early polycystic kidney disease". 3.

Are there multiple versions of the dataset? no 3. Relationship between files: Files are grouped by figure in the publication and further by age and genotype of the mouse the cells are originating from. C SHARING/ACCESS INFORMATION 1. Was data derived from another source? no 2. Licenses/restrictions placed on the data: CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) 3.

Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Organism: Mus Musculus Biological entity: Stained cryosections of murine kidneys AND unstained/stained 3D culture gels Description: renal kidneys after cryopreservation AND collagen/matrigel 3D mono- and co-cultures of renal epithelial cells (mIMCD-3) and primary renal macrophages Intrinsic variables: renal epithelial cells: mIMCD-3 WT, mIMCD-3 cilia-bPAC; mice: Pkd1 +/+, Pkd1 RC/RC Extrinsic variables: 3D culture: Forskolin, Light, Dark/DMSO Experimental variables: Images vary by genotype of the mouse, are of the mouse and treatment of the 3D culture Imaging_method: confocal microscopy (for fluorescent images), brightfield microscopy (for histology images) Imaging instrument: Stemi 508 (Zeiss) for 3D culture brightfield images; AxioScan.Z1 widefield microscope for histology images; Leica Stellaris 8 for immunofluorescence images Image acquisition_parameters: Z-stacks (1 µm step size) of fluorescently stained 3D cultures and kidney cryosections were taken on a confocal microscope with 20x and 40x multi-immersion objective with applied glycerol immersion, respectively. 2. Methods for processing the data: Images were acquired using the Leica Las-X software in a .lif format. Images were then converted into OME.tif file. Images contain further metadata regarding the exact microscope setup. No further image processing was applied to the images featured in this dataset. 3. Instrument- and/or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: As files are in a .tif and .jpeg format, so no specialized software is needed to access them. To access the metadata imbedded in the images, a text editor or image analysis program (e.g. FIJI) is needed. 4. People involved in sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: Karl, Rudolfo Palliyulla Kariat Ashra, Arsila 5. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: None of the channels were oversaturated when acquiring the images. E DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: DataGroup: Figure2_H 1.
