O-Glycosylated IgA Rheumatoid Factor Induces IgA Deposits and Glomerulonephritis [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2012
Structural aberrations of O-linked glycans present in the IgA1 hinge region are associated with IgA nephropathy, but their contribution to its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. In this study, mice implanted with hybridoma secreting 6-19 IgA anti-IgG2a rheumatoid factor, but not 46-42 IgA rheumatoid factor bearing the same IgA allotype ...

Kidney Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells Contribute to Myeloid Development and Pathology in Lupus Nephritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives The hematopoietic system maintains homeostasis by balancing myeloid and lymphoid cell production in the bone marrow (BM). In response to increased hematopoietic demand, extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) may occur in non‐lymphoid organs. We investigated the role of EMH and kidney‐resident hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in ...

Significant kidney impairment in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease and practice points for pediatric gastroenterologists

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of developing kidney disorders, which may cause significant kidney function impairment (SKI) or lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this study we aimed to provide insights in causes and diagnoses of SKI cases and to provide recommendations for pediatric ...

Forsythiaside A Alleviates Kidney Injury and Intestinal Epithelium Dysfunction in IgA Nephropathy by Inhibiting TLR4/NF‐κB Signaling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of glomerulonephritis, is a major and growing public health issue. It results from intestinal barrier dysfunction that leads to mesangial deposition of pathogenic galactose‐deficient IgA1 (Gd‐IgA1) and renal inflammation.
