Project description:Kidney podocytes and their slit diaphragms contribute to prevent urinary protein loss. T cell from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus display increased expression of calcium/calmodulin kinase IV (CaMKIV). Here we evaluated the functional role of CaMKIV in lupus nephritis (LN) using kidney biopsy specimens and human podocyte cell line (AB8/13). We found that exposure of podocytes to IgG from LN patients resulted in entry of IgG into the cytoplasm. CaMKIV expression was found to be increased in podocytes of LN kidney biopsy specimens and exposure to IgG from LN patients. IgG entered podocytes using the FcRn receptor because when podocytes where treated with FcRn siRNA less IgG was found in the cytoplasm. The DNA microarray studies of podocytes exposed to LN IgG revealed that genes that are related to the activation of immune cells or podocyte damage were upregulated. These genes included CD86, CaMKIV, PTPN22, PDE5A, CD47 and MALT1. Interestingly, CD86 expression decreased after silencing CaMKIV in podocytes. Also, in situ hybridization experiments showed that the expression of CD86 was reduced in podocytes from MRL/lpr.camkivM-bM-^HM-^R/M-bM-^HM-^R mice. IgG from LN patients may enter podocytes through the FcRn and causes the upregulation of a distinct set of genes which may alter podocyte function. Upregulation of CaMKIV appears to precede that of genes known to be linked to podocyte damage such as CD86. These findings may indicate that inhibition of CaMKIV may prove of clinical use in patients with LN. IgG Purification Kits (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Inc.) are used for isolation and purification of immunoglobulin G of healthy and normal individual according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol. Flow through the column was used for non IgG binding samples. Cultured human podocytes with IgG purified from sera of normal individuals and LN patient for 24 hr were collected for RNA.

Project description:Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus are characterized by the spontaneous over-expression of interferon(IFN)-induced genes in peripheral blood RNA samples. In the present study, we wanted to study the evolution of the IFN gene signature in the peripheral blood of patients with lupus nephritis, before and after initiation of immunosuppressive therapy. Strikingly, we found that immunosuppressive therapy did not strongly reduce the expression of IFN-induced genes in patients who responded to therapy, as indicated by decreased general and renal indices of disease activity. By contrast, the IFN gene signature decreased in patients developing renal failure. Global gene expression studies were performed in serial whole blood samples from SLE patients with a renal BILAG A prior to, 3 months, and 6 months after initiation of conventional immunosuppressive therapy (induction with high-dose corticosteroids, IV cyclophosphamide or oral mycophenolate during the first 3 months, followed by maintenance with moderate- to low-dose corticosteroids, azathioprine or mycophenolate). The expression of IFN-induced genes was analyzed, in comparison to global and renal indices of disease activity.

Project description:We induced acute nephritis by single injection of sheep nephrotoxic serum in mice and then treated the mice with prostaglandin E2. We used microarrays to examine the global gene expressions during recovery from nephrotoxic nephritis by prostaglandin E2. Acute nephristis was induced in female mice by single injection of sheep Nephortoxc Serum (NTS), followed by prostaglandin E2 administration daily starting from day 2 after NTS administration. Mice were sacrificed on day 7 and RNAs were isolated from kidney. The RNA samples were subjected to mouse gene 1.0 ST array analysis.

Project description:ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis (AGN) associates with a high risk of end-stage kidneydisease. The role of kidney immune cells in local inflammation remains unclear. Herewe investigate kidney immune cell diversity and function. Kidney tissue from AGN patients (n=5) and a lupus nephritis (LN) patient (n=1) were aquired during a biopsy procedure for a clinical indication. Needle-core biopsies were obtained for histopathological examination, and an additional pass was performed to retrieve kidney tissue for scRNA-seq. Healthy kidney tissue (n=1) was obtained from a kidney that was surgically removed do tue due to a (non-invasive) papillary urothelial carcinoma. Immediately after collection, kidney tissue was processed into a single-cell suspension and sorted using a 4-color flow cytometry panel to isolate living, CD45+immune cells. To aid in the multi-omic characterization, surface markers and T and B cell repertoires were sequenced in 2 samples (1 AGN patient and the nephrectomy control). These samples were incubated with an oligo-antibody TotalSeq-C cocktail containing 130 unique cell surface antigens.

Project description:Membranous lupus nephritis is a frequent cause of nephrotic syndrome in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Unlike phospholipase A2 receptor or thrombospondin type 1 domain containing 7A-associated membranous nephropathy, where known antibodies can be detected within sera by indirect immunofluorescence and/or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, it is not possible to monitor disease activity in membranous lupus nephritis where the target autoantigens are mostly unknown. Determination of the target autoantigen has diagnostic significance, informs prognosis, and allows for non-invasive monitoring of disease activity in serum. We utilized mass spectrometry for antigen discovery of laser capture microdissected glomeruli from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue and tissue IgG immunoprecipitation studies from frozen kidney biopsy tissue. We identified neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1) to be a target antigen in membranous lupus nephritis and within rare cases of primary membranous nephropathy. The prevalence of NCAM1-associated membranous neuropathy was 5.7% of cases of membranous lupus nephritis. NCAM1 co-localizes with IgG within glomerular immune deposits. Additionally, serum from NCAM1 patients showed reactivity to NCAM1 recombinant protein. The presence of anti-NCAM1 antibodies in sera could allow for non-invasive monitoring of the disease. We propose that NCAM1 is a target autoantigen in a subset of patients with membranous lupus nephritis. Future studies are needed to determine whether anti-NCAM1 antibody levels correlate with disease activity or response to therapy.

Project description:Interferon-alpha Kinoid (IFN-K) is a therapeutic vaccine composed of IFN-alpha2b coupled to a carrier protein. In a phase I/II placebo-controlled trial, we observed that IFN-K significantly decreases the IFN gene signature in whole blood RNA samples from SLE patients (see GSE39088). Here, we analyzed extended follow-up data from IFN-K-treated patients, in terms of persistence of neutralizing anti-IFN± Abs, gene expression profiling and safety. Follow-up analyses in six patients confirmed a significant correlation between neutralizing anti-IFNalpha Ab titers and decrease in IFN scores compared to baseline. These analyses also revealed an inhibitory effect of IFN± blockade on the expression of B cell associated transcripts. Extended clinical (SLEDAI, BILAG, Physician Global Assessment) and biological (binding and neutralizing anti-IFNalpha Ab titers, C3 concentrations and anti double-stranded (ds)DNA Ab titers) follow-up data were collected in 6 IFN-K-treated patients. In these patients, whole blood samples were collected in PAXgene Blood RNA tubes (Qiagen) every 6 months after completion of the initial study. RNA was extracted from these samples, and was also re-extracted from baseline (month 0) and day 168 (month 6) PAXgene tubes stored at -80° from the same patients, and from 10 healthy volunteers.
