Maternal Anti-Dengue IgG Fucosylation Predicts Susceptibility to Dengue Disease in Infants.

ABSTRACT: Infant mortality from dengue disease is a devastating global health burden that could be minimized with the ability to identify susceptibility for severe disease prior to infection. Although most primary infant dengue infections are asymptomatic, maternally derived anti-dengue immunoglobulin G (IgGs) present during infection can trigger progression to severe disease through antibody-dependent enhancement mechanisms. Importantly, specific characteristics of maternal IgGs that herald progression to severe infant dengue are unknown. Here, we define ?10% afucosylation of maternal anti-dengue IgGs as a risk factor for susceptibility of infants to symptomatic dengue infections. Mechanistic experiments show that afucosylation of anti-dengue IgGs promotes Fc?RIIIa signaling during infection, in turn enhancing dengue virus replication in Fc?RIIIa+ monocytes. These studies identify a post-translational modification of anti-dengue IgGs that correlates with risk for symptomatic infant dengue infections and define a mechanism by which afucosylated antibodies and Fc?RIIIa enhance dengue infections.

Project description:ObjectiveWe aimed to explore the relationship between the presence and intensity of glomerular IgG deposition and the occurrence of kidney progression events in IgA nephropathy (IgAN).MethodsThis retrospective study encompassed a total of 1207 patients with IgAN spanning the period from 2010 to 2022, and complete follow-up data were accessible for 736 patients. The IgG intensity was categorized as follows: low-level, defined as IgG (±) and IgG (+), and high-level, defined as IgG (++) and IgG (+++).ResultsWe found that the IgG-positive deposited group (N = 113, 9.36%) had significantly higher levels of ESR, TC, LDL, uric acid, proteinuria, and blood glucose, and lower serum albumin level compared to the IgG-negative deposited group (N = 1094, 90.64%). In terms of pathology, the IgG-positive deposited group had a significantly higher percentage of T2 score compared to the IgG-negative deposited group (p = 0.002). At the end of the follow-up period, the IgG-positive deposited group had a higher eGFR decline (-5.7 ± 4.37 ml/year) compared to the IgG-negative deposited group (-4 ± 2.52 ml/year), however, there was not a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.096). We observed that the high-IgG group had significantly higher level of TG compared to the low-IgG group (p = 0.042). Further analysis revealed that the group of patients with high level of IgG deposition in the kidney experienced a higher incidence of composite kidney outcomes compared to the group with low level of IgG deposition (p = 0.009). Logistic regression analyses showed that high level IgG deposition was an independent risk factor for kidney progression of IgAN (HR 13.419; 95% CI 2.690-66.943, P = 0.029). Further analyses for a solid conclusion using Cox regression that we found high level IgG deposition (HR 115.277; 95% CI 2.299-5.779E3, P = 0.017), eGFR (HR 0.932; 95% CI 0.870-0.999, P = 0.047), and urine protein excretion (HR 1.001; 95% CI 1.000-1.002, P = 0.015) were independent risk factor for kidney progression of IgAN.ConclusionsThe intensity of IgG deposition has been found to be associated with the progression of IgAN. Future prospective studies should provide more robust evidence on the impact of IgG deposition on kidney outcomes in patients with IgAN.
