Project description:We report the expression of microRNAs in renal biopsies from patients with IgA nephropathy (progressive form and non progressive form), membranous and thin membrane nephropathies
Project description:The goal of the project was to identify risk alleles that are associated with recurrence of membranous nephropathy in the graft after kidney transplantation. First, we sequenced PLA2R1 and HLA-D loci in 248 patients with primary membranous nephropathy and identified two independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at risk for primary membranous nephropathy at each locus. Then we investigated whether primary membranous nephropathy at-risk variants were associated with recurrence in a retrospective cohort of 105 donor-recipient pairs and a replication cohort of 40 pairs.
Project description:Our understanding of the pathogenesis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy is limited by an incomplete molecular characterization of the cell types in the kidney and interaction between the cells. Besides, the reason for the heterogeneity of these patients as well as the variety of clinical outcomes remains elusive. Therefore, we applied scRNA-seq to kidney biopsies of patients with IMN to identify gene expression at the single-cell level, elucidate cells involved in the progression of IMN, and uncover intercellular interactions.
Project description:<p>We report a genome-wide association study of IgA nephropathy, a main cause of kidney failure. All subjects were of Chinese Han ancestry, of which 1,194 were cases and 902 controls. Genomic DNA samples extracted from whole blood were genotyped on the Illumina 610 Quad platform.</p>
Project description:We profiled manually microdissected tubulointerstitial tissue from 43 IgA nephropathy, 3 diabetes mellitus nephropathy, 3 focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, 3 lupus nephritis, 4 membranous nephropathy, and 9 minimal change disease biopsy cores and 22 nephrectomy controls by RNA sequencing. The 3 outliers which were not included in our main analysis were also uploaded in this database.

Project description:In order to more accurately and objectively clarify the biological role of lncRNAs in diabetic nephropathy, we detected their expression profiles in renal tissues from patients with diabetic nephropathy.
