Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that results in immune-mediated damage to kidneys and other organs. We investigated the role of response gene to complement-32 (RGC-32), a proinflammatory and profibrotic mediator induced by TGFβ and C5b-9, in nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN), an experimental model that mimics human lupus nephritis. Proteinuria, loss of renal function and kidney histopathology were attenuated in RGC-32 KO NTN mice. RGC-32 KO NTN mice displayed downregulation of the CCL20/CCR6 and CXCL9/CXCR3 ligand/receptor pairs resulting in decreased renal recruitment of IL-17+ and IFNγ+ cells and subsequent decrease in the influx of innate immune cells. RGC-32 deficiency attenuated renal fibrosis as demonstrated by decreased deposition of collagen I, III and fibronectin. Thus, RGC-32 is a unique mediator shared by the Th17 and Th1 dependent proinflammatory and profibrotic pathways and a potential novel therapeutic target in the treatment of immune complex mediated glomerulonephritis such as lupus nephritis.

RGC-32 在免疫介导的肾脏疾病中介导促炎症和坏死通路。
系统性红斑狼疮是一种自身免疫性疾病,会导致免疫介导的肾脏和其他器官损伤。我们研究了补体32反应基因(RGC-32)在肾毒性肾炎(NTN)中的作用,肾毒性肾炎是一种模拟人类狼疮肾炎的实验模型。RGC-32 KO NTN 小鼠的蛋白尿、肾功能丧失和肾组织病理学均有所减轻。RGC-32 KO NTN小鼠的CCL20/CCR6和CXCL9/CXCR3配体/受体对出现下调,导致IL-17+和IFNγ+细胞的肾脏招募减少,先天性免疫细胞的流入也随之减少。RGC-32 缺乏会减轻肾脏纤维化,这表现在胶原蛋白 I、III 和纤维连接蛋白的沉积减少。因此,RGC-32 是 Th17 和 Th1 依赖性促炎和促纤维化途径共有的一种独特介质,是治疗免疫复合物介导的肾小球肾炎(如狼疮性肾炎)的潜在新治疗靶点。
