Idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN) is an autoimmune disease in which B cells produce autoantibody against glomerular podocyte antigens and formate in situ immune complex mediatting podocyte injury.However, the precise mechanisms of abnormal B cell activation is not completely clear. The Treg cell is a kind of the immune subsets which plays a negative regulatory role of T helper cell subsets,and was the hot spot of autoimmune disease research recent years. Treg cells can directly inhibit autoantibody producing B cells, which play an role on humoral immune regulation. Our initial research showed that the number and function of Treg cells from peripheral blood of patients with IMN decreased, accompanied by increases in the number of B cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that : the disfunction of Treg cells inhibition on B cells may be one of the mechanisms in IMN. This study will adopt the new type Heymann nephritis animal model, and use FOXP3-siRNA interference of Treg cell function and reinfusion of normal Treg cells.The change of B cells and podocyte injurywill be observed, and the inhibition effect of Treg cells on B cells will be observed further in vitro experiments. The aim of our research is to explore the role of Treg cells in the pathogenesis of IMN, which might provide theoretical basis for the immunetherapy.
IMN是机体B细胞针对肾小球足细胞抗原产生自身抗体形成原位免疫复合物而介导足细胞损伤的一种自身免疫疾病,但B细胞异常活化的机制尚不完全清楚。Treg细胞是一类在机体免疫应答中发挥负调节作用的辅助T细胞亚群,也是近几年自身免疫性疾病研究的热点。Treg细胞能抑制B细胞产生抗体,从而发挥对体液免疫的调控作用。我们前期的研究结果显示,IMN患者外周血Treg细胞出现数目和功能降低,同时伴有B细胞数目增加。故而我们推测:Treg细胞功能异常及其对B细胞调节失控可能是IMN的发病机制之一。本研究采用新型Heymann肾炎动物模型,通过FOXP3-siRNA干扰Treg细胞功能和回输正常的Treg细胞,观察B细胞变化及足细胞损伤情况,并进一步在体外实验中探讨Treg细胞对B细胞的抑制作用。本课题旨在探讨Treg细胞在IMN发病机制中的作用及地位,为可能的免疫治疗提供理论依据。
特发性膜性肾病(IMN)是机体B细胞针对肾小球足细胞抗原产生自身抗体形成原位免疫复合物而介导足细胞损伤的一种自身免疫疾病,但B细胞异常活化的机制尚不完全清楚。我们前期的研究结果显示,IMN患者外周血Treg细胞出现数目和功能降低,同时伴有B细胞数目增加。因此,我们进一步研究了Treg功能及其与B细胞间的作用在IMN发病中的作用。首先,我们成功建立了被动型Heymann肾炎动物模型和制备了FOXP3-siLUC慢病毒颗粒,结果发现大鼠体内注射FOXP3-siLUC慢病毒颗粒后,随着外周血Treg细胞比例下降,B细胞开始增加,尿蛋白水平显著增加,肾小球足细胞损伤加重;而输注正常功能的Treg细胞后尿蛋白水平显著降低,肾小球足细胞损伤部分修复。其次,我们分选出Heymann肾炎大鼠脾脏Treg细胞和B细胞,体外功能实验研究发现,模型大鼠Treg细胞对效应T细胞的抑制作用降低,对B细胞分泌IgG的抑制作用也降低。因此,我们的结论是:Treg细胞功能异常及其对B细胞调节失控可能是IMN的发病机制之一;针对Treg的免疫治疗可能成为IMN新的治疗靶点。
