Analysis of predictive factors for immunosuppressive response in anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibody positive membranous nephropathy

open access: yesBMC Nephrology, 2018
Background Serum anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibody was correlated with disease activity of membranous nephropathy(MN). The predictive value of antibody titer changes on immunosuppressive response remains unknown.

The Synthetic Melanocortin Agonist NDP‐MSH Ameliorates THSD7A‐Associated Membranous Nephropathy in an Active Immunization Mouse Model

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
Active immunization with recombinant THSD7A in mice induces autoreactive B cell activation and differentiation into CD138+ antibody‐secreting cells, leading to the production of anti‐THSD7A autoantibodies, glomerular immune injury and proteinuria, characteristic of membranous nephropathy. NDP‐MSH treatment modulates the MITF/IRF4 axis in primed B cells,

Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibodies directly induced podocyte damage in vitro

open access: yesRenal Failure, 2022
Background The pathogenesis of primary membranous nephropathy (MN) involves the antibodies against antigens on the cell surface of podocytes, with the majority of M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), and a profound podocyte dysfunction.

T Cell‐Independent Role of PD‐L1 in Kidney Repair: Mitigation of Tubular DNA Damage via PD‐L1/BRCA1 Interaction Following AKI

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 40, 17 July 2026.
PD‐L1 is primarily expressed in renal tubules and upregulated in both murine models of AKI and renal biopsy samples from patients with AKI. PD‐L1 can promote adaptive TECs repair through interacting with BRCA1, independent of its canonical immunomodulatory function of T cells, and PD‐L1 supplementation may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for

The anti-PLA2R antibody in membranous nephropathy

open access: yesKidney International, 2019
The discovery in 2009 of the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) as the primary target in membranous nephropathy (MN) greatly advanced basic and clinical research. Primary MN is now considered a renal-limited autoimmune disease, with antibodies against PLA2R (aPLA2Rab) identified in 70-80 % of patients of various ethnic groups. Although the use of

Animal models of idiopathic membranous nephropathy: Recent advances and future perspectives

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 7, Page 1325-1337, July 2026.
This review focuses on the evolution of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) animal models from traditional approaches (Heymann nephritis, C‐BSA, APA) to antigen‐specific models (PLA2R, THSD7A), critically evaluating their advances and limitations in replicating human IMN pathology.
