Therefore, we conducted a retrospective cohort study at 28 pediatric nephrology centers from 19 countries in Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania to evaluate this. Children with SRNS treated with rituximab were analyzed according to the duration of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) treatment before rituximab [6 months or more (CNI-resistant) and under 6 months]. Primary outcome was complete/partial remission (CR/PR) as defined by IPNA/KDIGO guidelines. Secondary outcomes included kidney failure and adverse events. Two-hundred-forty-six children (mean age, 6.9 years; 136 boys; 57% focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, FSGS) were followed a median of 32.4 months after rituximab. All patients were in non-remission before rituximab. (146 and 100 children received CNIs for 6 month or more or under 6 months before rituximab, respectively). In patients with CNI-resistant SRNS, the remission rates (CR/PR) at 3-, 6-, 12- and 24-months were 26% (95% confidence interval 19.3-34.1), 35.6% (28.0-44.0), 35.1% (27.2-43.8) and 39.1% (29.2-49.9), respectively. Twenty-five patients were in PR at 12-months, of which 22 had over 50% reduction in proteinuria from baseline. The remission rates among children treated with CNIs under 6 months before rituximab were 42% (32.3-52.3), 52% (41.8-62.0), 54% (44.3-64.5) and 60% (47.6-71.3) at 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-months. Upon Kaplan-Meier analysis, non-remission and PR at 12-months after rituximab, compared to CR, were associated with significantly worse kidney survival. Adverse events occurred in 30.5% and most were mild. Thus, rituximab enhances remission in a subset of children with SRNS, is generally safe and CR following rituximab is associated with favorable kidney outcome.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17801,"journal":{"name":"Kidney international","volume":"106 6","pages":"Pages 1146-1157"},"PeriodicalIF":14.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142431127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

East Asian countries such as China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea have a higher incidence and prevalence of kidney failure when compared to Western nations, and the reasons for this discrepancy remain unclear. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is an essential detoxifying enzyme for exogenous and endogenous aldehyde metabolism in mitochondria. Inactivating mutations at E504K and E487K are found in 35-45% of East Asian populations and has been linked to a higher risk of various disorders, including cardiovascular diseases and cancer. However, little is known about the role of ALDH2 in CKD. Here, we characterized the expression pattern of ALDH2 in normal and CKD human and mouse kidneys and demonstrated that ALDH2 expression was significantly reduced, and that the protein level was inversely correlated with the degree of CKD and fibrosis. Further, we treated ALDH2∗2 knock-in mice, a loss of ALDH2 function model, with aristolochic acid and found that these mice showed enhanced fibrosis. Moreover, ALDH2 deficiency was associated with kidney fibrosis involving epithelial cell differentiation process in vivo and in vitro. However, ALDH2 overexpression protected proximal tubule epithelial cells from transforming growth factor-β-induced dedifferentiation or partial epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation in vitro. Thus, our findings yield important clinical information regarding the development and progression of CKD involving ALDH2, especially among East Asian populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":17801,"journal":{"name":"Kidney international","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142406580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, many of the documented biomarker candidates have been reported to be elevated in LN compared to healthy controls. However, biomarkers that distinguish patients with active LN (ALN) from inactive systemic lupus erythematosus (iSLE) hold significant clinical utility. Hence, our review attempts to identify urine protein biomarkers for LN that have been independently validated across two or more cohorts and exhibit good diagnostic potential for distinguishing ALN from iSLE. PubMed and OVID were screened for studies assessing the diagnostic value of urinary biomarkers in patients with ALN compared to iSLE. Forty peer-reviewed articles were evaluated, encompassing urine biomarker data from 3,411 distinct patients. Of the 32 candidate biomarkers identified, fourteen were repeatedly reported/tested in four or more papers each, namely ALCAM, CCL2 (MCP1), CD163, HAVCR1 (KIM-1), HPGDS, ICAM-1 (CD54), ICAM-2 (CD102), IGFBP-2, LCN2, NCAM-1 (CD56), SELE (E-Selectin), SELL (L-Selectin), TNFSF12 (TWEAK), and VCAM-1, with most exhibiting C-statistics of 0.80 or more across multiple studies when discriminating patients with ALN from iSLE. The 32 reproducibly elevated biomarkers for active LN mapped to nine functional categories. The urinary proteins reported here promise to serve as a liquid biopsy for ALN. Besides representing potential candidates for diagnostic, monitoring, predictive, and prognostic biomarkers in LN, they also provide a window into potential molecular processes within the kidney that may be driving LN. Thus, ongoing advances in proteomics, which offer wider proteome coverage at increased sensitivity, are likely to further reshape our perspective of urinary biomarkers for LN.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17801,"journal":{"name":"Kidney international","volume":"106 6","pages":"Pages 1135-1145"},"PeriodicalIF":14.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142381203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
