Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a common glomerular disease characterized by podocyte injury. Although previous studies highlighted the leucine-rich repeat-containing 55/big potassium (LRRC55/BK) channel axis in Ang II-induced apoptosis, our study further investigates the upstream regulation by nuclear factor of activated T-cells 3 (NFATc3) and its role in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Using an Ang II-induced podocyte injury model, we found that NFATc3 overexpression promoted LRRC55 transcription, increased BK channel activity, and elevated intracellular calcium, thereby exacerbating podocyte apoptosis and impairing migration. RNA-seq and functional assays revealed significant upregulation of ECM-related genes, with enhanced fibronectin and collagen I deposition. Patch-clamp experiments confirmed BK channel activation was LRRC55-dependent. In vivo, NFATc3 knockdown attenuated renal injury, restored podocyte markers (nephrin, WT1, synaptopodin), and alleviated proteinuria and fibrosis, whereas LRRC55 overexpression or BK agonist NS1619 reversed these effects. These findings reveal that NFATc3 aggravates Ang II-induced podocyte injury through transcriptional regulation of LRRC55 and activation of the BK channel, contributing to ECM remodeling and glomerular dysfunction. Our results offer mechanistic insight into MN progression and suggest the NFATc3/LRRC55/BK axis as a potential therapeutic target.
Syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease, presents with a wide range of clinical manifestations. As the global rate of syphilis infection continues to rise, so does the incidence of syphilis-associated nephritis. Characterized by diverse clinical and pathological features, the disease shows a good response to penicillin treatment. This article presents the case of a 46-year-old Chinese male patient exhibiting edema, hematuria, proteinuria, and a tendency towards rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN). The patient was diagnosed with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), with syphilis being a likely etiology and co-infection with Hepatitis B virus (HBV). He was treated with benzathine penicillin for three weeks, followed by low-dose glucocorticoids and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for subsequent treatment, leading to a significant improvement in his condition. Highlighting the significance of syphilis as a cause of nephritis and emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment can greatly alleviate the patient’s condition. Additionally, the role of Hepatitis B virus as a contributing factor in the development of nephritis should not be overlooked. Not applicable.
Primary membranous nephropathy (PMN) is a prevalent renal disorder characterized by immune-mediated damage to the glomerular basement membrane, with recent studies highlighting the significant role of pyroptosis in its progression. In this study, we investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying PMN, focusing on the role of Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) in promoting disease advancement. Specifically, we examine how TRAF6 facilitates PMN progression by inducing the ubiquitination of Transforming growth factor-beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), which in turn activates the Gasdermin D (GSDMD)/Caspase-1 axis, leading to podocyte pyroptosis. Utilizing transcriptomic data from the gene expression omnibus database, we identified key regulatory factors involved in pyroptosis and validated these findings through the establishment of a C3a-induced podocyte injury model and a Sprague–Dawley (SD) rat model of PMN. Our findings reveal that TRAF6 is significantly upregulated in PMN, and its interaction with TAK1 is crucial for the activation of the GSDMD/Caspase-1 axis, ultimately driving podocyte pyroptosis. Further biochemical and molecular analyses confirmed the pivotal role of the TRAF6/TAK1 signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of PMN. These results underscore the importance of TRAF6-mediated signaling in the progression of PMN and suggest that targeting the TRAF6/TAK1/GSDMD/Caspase-1 axis may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of this debilitating renal disease.
IgA nephropathy is characterized by the deposition of IgA and complement C3 in the glomerular mesangial region. Recent research has pointed out the critical role of mitochondrial damage during the occurrence and development of IgAN. During IgAN progression, elevated myc promotes the transcription of HRD1, which in turn induces the ubiquitination of MFN1, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. We found that the expression levels of myc and HRD1 were elevated in IgAN. Down-regulation of HRD1 and myc successfully alleviated IgAN progression by promoting cell survival, reducing renal injury and improving mitochondrial homeostasis. Additionally, we observed reduced levels of MFN1 expression in IgAN. Overexpression of MFN1 significantly inhibited IgAN progression, while the deficiency of MFN1 exacerbated IgAN injury. In summary, our findings revealed that myc plays a critical role in regulating mitochondrial function in IgAN by promoting HRD1 transcription and inducing MFN1 ubiquitination. These results suggested that targeting myc/HRD1/MFN1 axis may offer a novel therapeutic strategy to combat IgAN progression.
Purpose:The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) is a pharmacological agent utilized for the treatment of diabetes, known for its significant reno protective effects. This study aims to investigate the impact of liraglutide, a representative GLP-1RA medication, on early endothelial dysfunction in diabetic rats and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. Methods:The present study employed a high-fat, high-sugar diet in combination with a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) to establish an experimental rat model of diabetes. Subsequently, the therapeutic efficacy of liraglutide on renal injury in this model was evaluated using various doses. Results:Compared to the DKD rats, the rats treated with Liraglutide exhibited significant reductions in levels of blood glucose (Glu), serum creatinine (Scr), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (P < 0.05). Furthermore, there was a dose-dependent decrease in urinary protein levels, including 24-hour urinary protein excretion rate and microalbuminuria (m-ALB), with higher doses demonstrating more pronounced therapeutic effects (P <0.05). In addition, treatment with Liraglutide effectively improved glomerular and interstitial damage, and suppressed the expression of CD31, CD34, and VE-cadherin associated with endothelial cell injury (P < 0.05). Furthermore, Liraglutide administration significantly increased nitric oxide (NO) production (P < 0.05). Moreover, Liraglutide treatment resulted in decreased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Delta-like ligand-4(Dll4), and Notch2 protein in the Notch2 signaling pathway (P < 0.05). Conclusion:The findings indicate that Liraglutide has a substantial effect on decreasing urinary protein excretion and improving vascular microinflammation, thus alleviating endothelial dysfunction in diabetic nephropathy. This observed mechanism can be attributed to the inhibition of the Dll4/Notch2 signaling pathway.
Objective: Serum-specific antibodies as a non-invasive means to effectively diagnose idiopathic membranous nephropathy and assess clinicopathology. Methods: Immunofluorescence of anti-PLA2R and THSD7A antibodies and kidney tissue PLA2R, THSD7A and IgG4 expression in IMN and non-IMN (2020-2021) was detected to assess the efficacy of diagnosing IMN. IMN patients were divided into two groups, anti-PLA2R antibody positive (161 cases) and negative (26 cases), and two groups, kidney tissue PLA2R (40 cases) and PLA2R +THSD7A (6 cases), to compare the clinical and pathological features, and to carry out a prognostic analysis of THSD7A-positive patients, with a focus on correlation with malignancy. Results: The positive rate of anti-PLA2R antibodies was significantly higher in IMN (P<0.05); anti-PLA2R antibodies, kidney tissue PLA2R and IgG4 and THSD7A had some diagnostic value. Anti-PLA2R antibodies correlated with proteinuria levels in IMN patients, and their levels were negatively correlated with blood albumin (r=-0.146, P=0.042); correlated with pathological stage and C3 and IgG4 immunodeposition; there was no significant difference in clinical pathology between kidney tissue THSD7A+PLA2R positive compared to kidney tissue PLA2R positive patients, but the probability of achieving complete remission was low and time longer, and no malignancy events were detected during follow-up. Conclusion: Anti-PLA2R antibodies, kidney tissue PLA2R, THSD7A and IgG4 have high diagnostic efficacy for IMN; anti-PLA2R antibodies can be used as diagnostic markers to assist in the assessment of clinical and pathological features; co-expression of kidney tissue PLA2R and THSD7A is not significantly different from kidney tissue PLA2R in assessing the clinical features, pathological manifestations and prognosis, but requires long-term. However, long-term follow-up is needed to monitor the potential risk, and a larger multicentre study with long-term follow-up is expected to be conducted to comprehensively assess IMN characteristics.
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of three treatment modalities (rituximab targeted B-cell therapy, calcium-phosphate inhibitor in conjunction with low-dose corticosteroids, and full-dose corticosteroids combined with cyclophosphamide) for patients at intermediate or high risk of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) and to analyze the factors impacting the remission rates of IMN. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze patients diagnosed with IMN in our nephrology department via renal biopsy, identifying a total of 148 patients at intermediate or high risk. These patients were categorized into three treatment groups: a RTX group with 60 patients receiving rituximab, a CNI group with 42 patients receiving calcineurin inhibitors, and a CTX group with 46 patients received cyclophosphamide. Baseline measurements of 24-hour urine protein, serum albumin, blood creatinine, uric acid, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and serum anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibody levels were recorded at the onset of the follow-up. Subsequently, changes in 24-hour urine protein, eGFR, remission rates, and occurrence of adverse events among the three patient groups were compared at 6, 12, and 18 months post-treatment. Moreover, COX regression analysis was employed to ascertain factors influencing the remission rate of IMN. Results At the outset of the follow-up period, no significant difference existed in baseline characteristics such as gender, age, 24-hour urine protein quantification, serum albumin, serum creatinine, uric acid, eGFR, serum anti-PLA2R antibody levels, body mass index (BMI), and systolic blood pressure among the patients, indicating the comparability of three groups. After 6 months, there were no notable changes in 24-hour urine protein quantification and eGFR among the three groups; however, remission rates in the RTX and CTX groups were lower than those in the CNI group. By the 12-month mark, 24-hour urine protein quantification in the RTX group significantly decreased compared to the CTX group, with overall remission rates showing no significant differences among the three groups. By the 18-month milestone, 24-hour urine protein quantification in the RTX group remained notably lower than that in the CTX group, with significantly higher eGFR levels. Additionally, the CTX group exhibited lower 24-hour urine protein quantification compared to the CNI group, with both RTX and CTX groups displaying higher remission rates than the CNI group. Predominant adverse reactions in the RTX group included infusion reactions and infections, whereas the CNI group were associated with metabolic syndrome and elevated serum creatinine, and the CTX group primarily experienced hepatic dysfunction. Multifactorial COX regression analysis revealed an association between baseline anti-PLA2R antibodies and remission rates of IMN (HR=1.162, 95% CI 1.078-1.249). Conclusion RTX therapy for IMN exhibits a gradual onset of action, boasting a superior disease remission rate at 18 months in comparison to CNI. It demonstrates a similarity to CTX in this aspect and offers prolonged maintenance of remission. Conversely, CNI demonstrates a rapid onset of action but poses a risk of exacerbating renal impairment in patients. Notably, elevated levels of serum anti-PLA2R antibodies emerge as an independent risk factor influencing remission in IMN.
Background Fruquintinib is a highly selective inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR). Currently, there are no reported cases of fruquintinib causing kidney-restrictive thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in the available Chinese and foreign literature.Case presentation In this case report, we presented a 73-year-old patient receiving fruquintinib for metastatic colon cancer, manifesting abundant proteinuria, in which kidney-restrictive TMA was also diagnosed through renal biopsy. As far as we were concerned, this was the frst reported in terms of fruquintinib-induced kidney-restrictive TMA confrmed by renal biopsy.Conclusion This case indicates that fruquintinib may result in kidney-restrictive TMA, which is a rare but life-threatening complication of cancer treatment drug. Therefore, regular monitoring of proteinuria and blood pressure is imperative for all patients undergoing anti-VEGF drug therapy. And renal biopsy should be promptly conducted to facilitate early detection of thrombotic microangiopathy.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP) levels in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients and its clinical application value. Methods A total of 736 patients who underwent MHD in five blood purification centers in Bengbu region from October 2020 to May 2021 were included. The patients were grouped according to the quartile of serum ALP. The general data and laboratory indicators of patients in the four groups were statistically compared. Furthermore, the correlation between serum ALP and calcium and phosphorus metabolism and inflammatory indexes was analyzed. Results The MHD patients included 415 males(56.39%) and 321 females(43.61%), with an average age of(56.61±13.40) years and a median dialysis age of 44(16,74) months. The prevalence of hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT) were 25.54%, 63.59% and 20.11%, respectively. Among ALP groups, there were statistically significant differences in age, dialysis age, systolic blood pressure, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product, whole parathyroid hormone(iPTH), creatinine, urea nitrogen, albumin, hs-CRP, white blood cell count(WBC) and ferritin(FER) levels(all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum ALP was significantly positively correlated with serum calcium, iPTH, hs-CRP, WBC and FER(all P<0.05). Conclusion Serum ALP combined with blood iPTH monitoring can more accurately identify the types of renal bone disease, and serum ALP level is closely related to inflammatory indicators. Serum ALP can be used as a predictor of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality in MHD patients, and is expected to be a new therapeutic target for MHD patients, thereby improving the prognosis of patients.
Abstract Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and autoantibody IgG4 staining against the phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)were correlated. To enquire into the pathogenic effect of MBL in IMN as well as its relevance to clinicopathology and prognosis.Patients with IMN in 2021–2022 at our hospital were divided into positive and negative groups based on glomerular MBL immunofluorescence results and anti-PLA2R antibody characterization, and their clinical, pathological and follow-up data were evaluated.Among 39 patients with IMN, the positive rates of glomerular MBL and IgG4 deposition and serum anti-PLA2R antibodies were 31 (79.5%), 37 (100%) and 26 (70.3%), respectively. There were no notable differences in clinical and pathological features between the MBL-positive and negative groups of patients, but there were differences in IgG4 expression in the renal tissues (p < 0.05). There were no notable differences in MBL deposition between IMN patients grouped qualitatively by blood PLA2R antibodies. Renal tissue MBL was highly expressed (79.5%) and C1q was lowly expressed (15.38%). Kaplan-Meier analysis of clinical remission was similar in both groups. In multivariate COX regression analysis adjusted for sex, age, serum anti-PLA2R antibody concentration and blood pressure, MBL deposition (HR, 0.776; 95% CI, 0.311–1.939; p = 0.587) was not associated with IMN remission in the MBL-negative compared with the positive group.Renal tissue MBL characterization correlates with IgG4 and anti-PLA2R antibodies are involved in the pathogenesis of IMN through the induction of complement activation by the complement agglutinin pathway. No significant clinical, pathological or prognostic differences between patients with positive and negative MBL deposits were found in the study.
AIM:Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the severe microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which eventually leads to irreversible renal damage and develops into end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of antidiabetic drugs that act on the kidney to reduce glucose reabsorption. Increasing evidence confirms that dapagliflozin exerts a protective effect on DKD, but the mechanisms have not been reported. The aims of this study were to observe the therapeutic efficacy of dapagliflozin on DKD and investigate the possible immunological mechanism.MATERIALS AND METHODS:T2DM was modeled by a high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with STZ. Then, rats were treated with 10 mg/kg dapagliflozin for 8 weeks. The protective efficacy of dapagliflozin was evaluated by observing body weight, blood glucose, blood serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, 24-h urine protein, renal histology and ultrastructure, and oxidative stress levels. The immunological mechanisms were monitored by measuring the levels of TLR2/Myd88/NF-κB by immunohistochemical staining, RT-qPCR and Western blotting.RESULTS:After treatment with dapagliflozin, renal damage was greatly improved. The levels of blood glucose, renal function and proteinuria were significantly decreased, and renal pathological and ultrastructural damage was obviously extenuated, possibly due to the reduction in inflammation and the levels of oxidative stress.CONCLUSIONS:Dapagliflozin has therapeutic potential for DKD. This effect was possibly mediated by inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress levels.
