Project description:Proteinuria is the most important predictor of outcome in glomerulonephritis and experimental data suggest that the tubular cell response to proteinuria is an important determinant of progressive fibrosis in the kidney. However, it is unclear whether proteinuria is a marker of disease severity or has a direct effect on tubular cells in the kidneys of patients with glomerulonephritis. Accordingly we studied an in vitro model of proteinuria, and identified 231 albumin-regulated genes differentially expressed by primary human kidney tubular epithelial cells exposed to albumin. We translated these findings to human disease by studying mRNA levels of these genes in the tubulo-interstitial compartment of kidney biopsies from patients with IgA nephropathy using microarrays. Biopsies from patients with IgAN (n=25) could be distinguished from those of control subjects (n=6) based solely upon the expression of these 231 albumin-regulated genes. The expression of an 11-transcript subset related to the degree of proteinuria, and this 11-mRNA subset was also sufficient to distinguish biopsies of subjects with IgAN from control biopsies. We tested if these findings could be extrapolated to other proteinuric diseases beyond IgAN and found that the all forms of primary glomerulonephritis (n=33) can be distinguished from controls (n=21) based solely on the expression levels of these 11 genes derived from our in vitro proteinuria model. Pathway analysis suggests common regulatory elements shared by these 11 transcripts. In conclusion, we have identified an albumin-regulated 11-gene signature shared between all forms of primary glomerulonephritis. Our findings support the hypothesis that albuminuria may directly promote injury in the tubulo-interstitial compartment of the kidney in patients with glomerulonephritis. We used microarrays to analyze the transcriptome of microdissected renal biopsies from patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) RNA from tubulointerstitial compartments was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix HG-U133A microarrays.

Project description:The histologic diagnosis of idiopathic IgA Nephopathy (IgAN) is based o renal lesions scores. Aim of our study was to identify specific gene expression changes that characterize active renal lesions that may be more responsive to immunosuppressive therapy than chronic lesions. Total RNA was extracted from archival FFPE renal tissue samples of 55 IgAN patients, 31 non-IgAN patients. IgAN patients were accurately stratified based on the LUMPED classifications. Genome-wide gene expression profiles were generated and Oneway ANOVA with tukeyHSD post hoc testing was used to identify specific transcripts associated with active and chronic renal lesions in IgAN. RT-PCR was used to validate selected transcripts. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to evaluate specific protein expression in biopsy specimens. Bioinfomatic analysis identified 183 genes with a Fold Change > 1.5 exclusively modulated in IgAN biopsies with active lesions and 162 genes with Fold Change > 1.5 exclusively modulated in IgAN biopsies with chronic lesions. These genes belonged to renal cellular damage and immune system regulatory pathways. To establish the validity of gene expression determined by microarray analysis, we performed RT-PCR on genes that were putatively involved in generating active and chronic lesions that may be involved in activating local inflammatory response and contributing to renal damage. Validated transcripts were also confirmed at protein level with IHC on kidney biopsy specimens. Transcriptomics on FFPE renal biopsies integrates histomorphologic renal lesions. Our study identifies specific gene expression changes involved in active and chronic lesions at the time of renal biopsy. This novel information may be used for personalized therapy through a system pharmacology approach to identify targeted molecules able to revert aberrant expression networks characterizing active and chronic lesions.

Project description:IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, is characterized by IgA1-containing glomerular immunodeposits. These immunodeposits are thought to originate from the circulating immune complexes consisting of aberrantly glycosylated IgA1 (galactose-deficient IgA1; Gd-IgA1) bound by IgG autoantibodies. This hypothesis is supported by the findings that renal immunodeposits of IgA nephropathy patients are enriched for IgG autoantibodies specific for galactose-deficient IgA1 (Rizk et al., J. Am. Soc. Nephrol. 30(10), 2017-2026, 2019). However, experimental proof is needed. This study provides in vivo data in mice that support the pathogenic role of IgG autoantibodies in IgAN.

Project description:IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis in the world, but the disease pathogenesis noncoding is yet to be elucidated.Previous studies have revealed regulatory functions for long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in various diseases; however, the roles of lncRNA in IgAN and regulation of transcription factors (TFs) have been scarcely investigated.
