Pathogenic Role of a Proliferation-Inducing Ligand (APRIL) in Murine IgA Nephropathy
A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. Despite advances in clinical and genetic studies, the details of the pathological roles of APRIL in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) remain to be fully defined. The present study aimed to further assess the pathological role of APRIL using a mouse model of IgAN. Mice with IgAN designated "grouped ddY" (gdd...
متن کاملMesangial Proliferation in Murine Experimental IgA Nephropathy
The therapeutic effects of saccharolytic and proteolytic enzymes were investigated in models of IgA nephropathy. Mesangial glomerulonephritis was induced in mice by intravenous injection of preformed soluble immune complexes of dextran sulfate and either IgA (J 558) or IgM (MOPC 104 E) antidextran MAb (passive model) or by immunization with DEAE dextran (active model). In the passive model, onl...
متن کاملPathogenic role of glycan-specific IgG antibodies in IgA nephropathy
BACKGROUND Accumulating evidences proved the important roles of circulating IgA1-containing immune complexes (cIgA1) in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and glycan-specific IgG antibody have been identified as major components in cIgA1. Before, Gd-IgA1 was reported as a vital factor in IgAN, partly via of its pathogenic role to induce mesangial cells activation. Howeve...

متن کاملA proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) in neutrophils of patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.
Available data indicating a role for neutrophils in the tumor-host reactions are controversial. In 37 patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), we investigated the expression of a tumor-promoting, proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) molecule by peripheral blood neutrophils isolated from blood samples collected at presentation and three weeks after surgery, and the serum levels...
