Abstract
Podocytes are integral to the maintenance of the glomerular filtration barrier. Their injury results in proteinuria and disease progression in lupus nephritis (LN). Aberrant IgG glycosylation drives podocyte injury in LN and leads to cytoskeletal rearrangement, motility changes and decreased nephrin production. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that IgG glycosylation patterns differentiate SLE with and without LN and that this aberrant glycosylation reprograms podocyte metabolism.
