Humanized C3 Mouse: A Novel Accelerated Model of C3 Glomerulopathy

ABSTRACT: We developed a novel, rapidly-progressing, severe murine model of C3G by replacing the mouse C3 gene with the human C3 homologue using Velocigene® technology. We conducted functional, histological, molecular and pharmacologic assays to characterize the presentation of renal disease and useful pharmacologic interventions in the humanized C3 (C3hu/hu) mice.

Humanized C3 Mouse: A Novel Accelerated Model of C3 Glomerulopathy.

Project description:BackgroundC3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is characterized by the alternative-pathway (AP) hyperactivation induced by nephritic factors or complement gene mutations. Mice deficient in complement factor H (CFH) are a classic C3G model, with kidney disease that requires several months to progress to renal failure. Novel C3G models can further contribute to understanding the mechanism behind this disease and developing therapeutic approaches.MethodsA novel, rapidly progressing, severe, murine model of C3G was developed by replacing the mouse C3 gene with the human C3 homolog using VelociGene technology. Functional, histologic, molecular, and pharmacologic assays characterize the presentation of renal disease and enable useful pharmacologic interventions in the humanized C3 (C3hu/hu) mice.ResultsThe C3hu/hu mice exhibit increased morbidity early in life and die by about 5-6 months of age. The C3hu/hu mice display elevated biomarkers of kidney dysfunction, glomerulosclerosis, C3/C5b-9 deposition, and reduced circulating C3 compared with wild-type mice. Administration of a C5-blocking mAb improved survival rate and offered functional and histopathologic benefits. Blockade of AP activation by anti-C3b or CFB mAbs also extended survival and preserved kidney function.ConclusionsThe C3hu/hu mice are a useful model for C3G because they share many pathologic features consistent with the human disease. The C3G phenotype in C3hu/hu mice may originate from a dysregulated interaction of human C3 protein with multiple mouse complement proteins, leading to unregulated C3 activation via AP. The accelerated disease course in C3hu/hu mice may further enable preclinical studies to assess and validate new therapeutics for C3G.

Update on C3 glomerulopathy.

Project description:C3 glomerulopathy refers to a disease process in which abnormal control of complement activation, degradation or deposition results in predominant C3 fragment deposition within the glomerulus and glomerular damage. Recent studies have improved our understanding of its pathogenesis. The key abnormality is uncontrolled C3b amplification in the circulation and/or along the glomerular basement membrane. Family studies in which disease segregates with structurally abnormal complement factor H-related (CFHR) proteins demonstrate that abnormal CFHR proteins are important in some types of C3 glomerulopathy. This is currently thought to be due to the ability of these proteins to antagonize the major negative regulator of C3 activation, complement factor H (CFH), a process termed 'CFH de-regulation'. Recent clinicopathological cohort studies have led to further refinements in case definition, culminating in a 2013 consensus report, which provides recommendations regarding investigation and treatment. Early clinical experience with complement-targeted therapeutics, notably C5 inhibitors, has also now been published. Here, we summarize the latest developments in C3 glomerulopathy.

C3 Glomerulopathy: Novel Treatment Paradigms.

Project description:C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is diagnosed by kidney biopsy, with immunofluorescence showing isolated or dominant C3 staining, indicating hyperactivity of the alternative complement pathway as the key driver of glomerular injury. Therefore, the lesion is defined by its complement-mediated pathogenesis as much as its histological pattern. As a bevy of complement-targeting agents are moving through development and clinical trials, we review the evolution in treatment paradigms for C3G. Here we survey the limited efficacy of noncomplement targeting therapy before focusing on the work being done on targeting various components of the complement cascade in aiming to provide disease-specific therapy.

C3 glomerulopathy: consensus report.

Project description:C3 glomerulopathy is a recently introduced pathological entity whose original definition was glomerular pathology characterized by C3 accumulation with absent or scanty immunoglobulin deposition. In August 2012, an invited group of experts (comprising the authors of this document) in renal pathology, nephrology, complement biology, and complement therapeutics met to discuss C3 glomerulopathy in the first C3 Glomerulopathy Meeting. The objectives were to reach a consensus on: the definition of C3 glomerulopathy, appropriate complement investigations that should be performed in these patients, and how complement therapeutics should be explored in the condition. This meeting report represents the current consensus view of the group.

Apolipoprotein E is associated with dense deposits in dense deposit disease

Project description:C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare disease resulting from dysregulation of the alternative pathway (AP) of complement. C3G includes C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN) and dense deposit disease (DDD). Both C3GN and DDD are characterized by bright glomerular C3 staining on immunofluorescence studies. However, on electron microscopy, DDD is characterized by dense osmiophilic mesangial and intramembranous deposits along the glomerular basement membranes (GBM), while the deposits of C3GN are not dense. Why the deposits appear dense in DDD and not in C3GN is not known.We performed laser microdissection of glomeruli followed by mass spectrometry in 12 known cases of DDD and C3GN each to determine the proteomic profile and differences between C3GN and DDD.
