As we wrap up our Alport Awareness Series, I am so excited to welcome to the show, Grant Bonebrake & Maddie Martin, Volunteer Patient Advocate Alport Foundation.  About Grant: Grant Bonebrake is a high school senior in San Diego, CA. He was misdiagnosed with the wrong kidney disease until age 11 when he experienced hearing loss that led to proper diagnoses of Alport syndrome, a rare genetic kidney disease. His involvement with Alport Syndrome Foundation led him to become an active patient advocate. In December 2020, Grant received the national RareVoice Award (Teen Category) for Legislative Advocacy from the EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases. He also volunteers with the Young Adult Representatives of Rare Disease Legislative Advocates program, and National Kidney Foundation. Grant is currently working with other teens to document the experiences and insights of young people living with Alport syndrome. About Maddie: Maddison Martin just turned 22. She was originally misdiagnosed with Glomerulonephritis at age 2 before receiving a formal diagnosis of Alport syndrome, via kidney biopsy, at 4-years-old. At the age of 20, she received the Gift of Life in the form of a kidney transplant from her high school attendance secretary, Tammy. Inspired by her Alport journey, Maddison is currently a nursing student and enjoys spending free time with her family. Listen in as Maddie & Grant share their personal journeys, the physical & emotional aspects of being a teen with rare disease and how they have embraced their diagnosis.  #AlportAwareness

Extracellular histones cause vascular necrosis in severe glomerulonephritis

Crescentic glomerulonephritis is characterized by glomerular necrosis. Dying cells release intracellular proteins that act as danger-associated molecular patterns to activate the innate immune system. Previously, we have demonstrated that dying tubular cells release histones, which can kill endothelial cells and activate the toll-like receptor 2/4 (TLR2/4). This drives tubulointerstitial inflammation in septic or post-ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI). Furthermore, other groups have also reported that extracellular histones cause organ damage during acute lung injury, stroke, peritonitis and retinal dysfunction, and that blocking extracellular histones represents a beneficial approach during the disease progression. In this thesis, we investigated whether extracellular histones can elicit similar pathogenic effects during necrotizing glomerulonephritis. To do so, we used an animal model based on the necrotizing type of severe glomerulonephritis. Necrotic glomerulonephritis was induced in mice by a single intravenous injection of 100µl sheep anti-GBM antiserum. The impact of histone neutralization was studied by using an antibody isolated from the BWA-3 clone, which had the capacity to neutralize released extracellular histones in-vivo and in-vitro. After 7 days, mice were sacrificed and kidneys were collected for further data analysis. Proteinuria was assessed in spot urine samples. Anti-GBM treated mice showed increased proteinuria (albumin/creatinine ratio), plasma creatinine and BUN levels. This was associated with a reduced number of podocytes, increased crescentic glomeruli and the infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages into the kidney. Interestingly, neutralization of extracellular histones significantly reduced proteinuria leading to less podocyte damage. This was linked to an improved renal function defined by lower plasma creatinine and BUN levels, and with a decrease in neutrophil and macrophage infiltration and activation in kidney. Histone blockade also significantly reduced renal mRNA expression of TNF-α and fibrinogen in the glomerular capillaries, which was associated with less glomerulosclerosis, crescents and tubular atrophy. In-vitro studies demonstrated that extracellular histones and NETs-related histones kill glomerular endothelial cells, podocytes and parietal epithelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. Histone-neutralizing agents such as anti-histone IgG, activated protein C or heparin prevented this cytotoxic effect. Stimulation of BMDCs with histones upregulated the expression of the activation marker including MHC-II, CD48, CD80 and CD86 significantly as well as increased the production of TNF-α and IL-6. It has been previously reported by others including us that in biopsies from patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis showed an over-expression of the TLR2/4 receptor compared to the healthy glomeruli. Histone toxicity on glomeruli ex-vivo was also dependent on the TLR2/4 receptor axis given that the lack of TLR2/4 attenuated histone-induced renal thrombotic microangiopathy and glomerular necrosis in mice. Anti-GBM glomerulonephritis involved NET formation and vascular necrosis, while blocking NET formation via PAD inhibitor or pre-emptive anti-histone IgG injection significantly reduced all parameters of glomerulonephritis including vascular necrosis, podocyte loss, albuminuria, cytokine induction, recruitment and activation of glomerular leukocytes, and glomerular crescent formation. Finally, to evaluate histones as a therapeutic target, mice with established glomerulonephritis were treated with three different histone-neutralizing agents such as anti-histone IgG, recombinant activated protein C and/or heparin. Interestingly, all agents were equally effective in abrogating severe glomerulonephritis, while combination therapy had no additive effect. In summary, the results of this thesis indicate that NET-related histones released during glomerulonephritis elicit cytotoxic and immunostimulatory effects and that neutralizing extracellular histones, therefore, represents a potential therapeutic approach when applied during already established glomerulonephritis.

Obwohl die immunstimulatorischen Effekte viraler Nukleinsäursen, wie auch IFN -α und IFN-β, während Virusinfektionen eine wichtige Rolle spielen, ist wenig über ihre Funktion bei viraler Glomerulonephritis, wie beispielsweise HIV Nephropathie, bekannt. Virusinfektionen aktivieren, vor allem mittels IFN-α und IFN-β Produktion eine systemische antivirale Immunantwort. Es wurde gezeigt, dass diese inflammatorischen Zytokine einen pleiotropen immunmodulatorischen Effekt auf renale Mesangialzellen ausüben, was direkt zu glomerulären Krankheiten führt. Aber es ist bisher nicht bekannt, ob die viralen Nukleinsäuren und Typ I IFN einen Effekt auf die glomerulären Epithelzellen haben. (z.B. Podozyten und PECs). Um den Effekt von Nukleinsäuren auf Podozyten und PECs zu erforschen, stimulierten wir diese Zellen mit synthetischen dsDNA-(poly-dAdT) Komplexen mit lipofectamine, um eine virale Infektion zu imitieren. Wir haben herausgefunden, dass dsDNA stetig viele IFN-stimulierte Gene in Podozyten und PECs induziert. Desweitern haben wir herausgefunden, dass dsDNA die PECs Proliferation mindert und die CD24+/CD133+PECs Differenzierung zu ausgereiften Podozyten inhibiert. Um unsere Hypothese, dass deis aufgrund von der Sekretion von IFN-α und IFN-β passiert ist, zu bestätigen, haben wir den Effekt von diesen anitviralen Zytokinen auf PECs- und Podozyten-Homöostase etabliert. Wir haben herausgefunden, dass beide IFNs stetig Podozyten und PECs dazu anregen, stetig mehrere IFN-stimulierte Gene zu exprimieren. Trotzdem hat nur IFN-β das Podozytensterben induziert und die Permeabilität der Podozyten-Monolayer erhöht. In der Adriamycin-induzierter Nephropathie bei SCID Mäusen haben Injektionen mit IFN-α oder IFN-β die Proteinurie, den Makrophagen Influx und die Glomerulosklerose verstärkt. Trotzdem induziert nur IFN-β das mitotische Podozytensterben (katastrophale Mitose), welches zu einer reduzierten Podozytenanzahl führt. Wir haben führt, dass IFN-α einen Zellzyklusarrest in-vivo bei PECs induziert, der zur glomerulären Schädigung führt. Balb/c Mäuse, die Adriamycin gespritzt bekommen haben und täglich mit IFN-α und IFN-β behandelt wurden zeigten einen aggravierten Phänotyp mit vermehrter Proteinurie. Im Gegensatz zu dem, was an Studien in SCID Mausen gezeigt wurde, war der Effekt auf die Proteinurie nach IFN-α Behandlung prominenter bei Balb/c Mäusen, verglichen mit IFN-β. Deshalb haben Typ I IFNs einen deutlichen Effekt auf Podozyten und Parietalzellen. Zusammen fördern die Typ I IFNs die Glomerulosklerose durch verstärkten Untergang der Podozyten sowie durch Unterdrückung ihrer Regeneration aus Vorläuferzellen.

Die von intrinsichen renalen Zellen und infiltrierenden Leukozyten exprimierten Zytokine sind zentrale Vermittler entzündlicher Nierenerkrankungen. Tumor Nekrose Faktor-α (TNF) ist ein solches proinflamatorisches Zytokin, das in der glomerulären Entzündungsreaktion involviert ist. Die funktionelle Rolle von TNF wurde in Tiermodellen der Glomerulonephritis belegt. Die biologischen Effekte von TNF werden durch die beiden funktionell eigenständigen TNF-Rezeptoren TNFR1 (CD120a) und TNFR2 (CD120b) vermittelt. Neuere Daten zeigen, dass in Modellen einer Immunkomplex-Glomerulonephritis wie der nephrotoxische Serumnephritis die beiden TNF-Rezeptoren in vivo unterschiedliche Funktionen bei der glomerulären Entzündung vermitteln können. Der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt die Hypothese zugrunde, dass Tnfr1 und Tnfr2 unterschiedliche inflammatorische TNF-Effekte in Glomeruli vermitteln. Daher war das Ziel dieser Arbeit, Expression und Funktion der beiden TNF-Rezeptoren in Maus-Glomeruli zu charakterisieren und die Tnfr-abhängig exprimierten Entzündungsmediatoren in Maus-Glomeruli zu identifizieren. Aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen dieser Arbeit könnten selektive, Tnfr-spezifische Therapien zur Hemmung der glomerulären Entzündungsreaktion entwickelt werden. Zudem wurde in dieser Arbeit die funktionelle Rolle der beiden TNF-Rezeptoren im MRL/lpr-Mausmodell der Lupusnephritis untersucht, um eine selektive Tnfr-Blockade als mögliche Therapiestrategie zu charakterisieren. Hierfür war eine Rückkreuzung von Tnfr1- und Tnfr2-defizienten C57BL/6J-Mäusen in den MRL/lpr-Hintergrund erforderlich. Um TNF-Rezeptor-1- und 2-vermittelte inflammatorische Signalwege in Glomeruli zu identifizieren wurde die Expression und die Funktion der beiden TNF-Rezeptoren in Mausnieren, in isolierten Glomeruli ex vivo und murinen glomerulären Endothel- und Mesangialzellen in vitro untersucht. In normaler Mausniere konnte eine Tnfr1- und Tnfr2-mRNA- und Protein-Expressionen präferentiell in Glomeruli im Vergleich zum Tubulointerstitium nachgewiesen werden. Die Expression von beiden TNF-Rezeptoren und die TNF-induzierte Induktion von Tnfr2-mRNA-Expression wurde auch in vitro sowohl in murinen glomerulären Endothel- als auch Mesangialzelllinien bestätigt. Die prominente glomeruläre TNF-Rezeptor-Expression korrelierte mit einer konstitutiven glomerulären mRNA-Expression von Adhäsionsmolekülen wie Icam-1, Vcam-1, E- und P-Selektin und Chemokinen wie Ccl2, Ccl3 und Ccl5. Eine intraperitoneale TNF-Injektion induzierte die Expression dieser Mediatoren präferentiell in Glomeruli. Diese in vivo TNF-Exposition führte zu einer raschen glomerulären Akkumulation von Leukozyten einschließlich Neutrophilen und mononukleären Phagozyten, die mittels einer kompartimentspezifischer Durchflußzytometrie analysiert wurden. Um Tnfr-abhängige inflammatorische Effekte in intrinsischen glomerulären Zellen unabhängig von infiltrierenden Leukozyten zu untersuchen, wurde eine Microarray-Gene-Expressionsanalyse an intakten Glomeruli durchgeführt, die aus Wildtyp und Tnfr-defizienten Mäusen isoliert und anschließend mit TNF ex vivo stimuliert wurden. Die meisten TNF-Effekte wurden ausschließlich durch Tnfr1 vermittelt, unter anderem die induzierte mRNA-Expression von Adhäsionsmolekülen, proinflammatorischen Chemokinen, Komplement-Faktoren und proapoptotischen Molekülen. Im Gegensatz dazu fanden wir nur vier Tnfr2-abhängig exprimierte Gene, einschließlich einer kleinen GTPase der Rab-Familie (Rab6b). Diese Ergebnisse wurden durch quantitative RT-PCR-Analysen von TNF-stimulierten Glomeruli und primären Mesangialzellen bestätigt. Weitere Untersuchungen zeigten allerdings auch einen Beitrag von Tnfr2 bei der gesteigerten glomerulären Expression von Adhäsionsmolekülen und Chemokine nach Stimulation mit niedrigen TNF-Konzentrationen auf. Im Gegensatz zur Wildtyp-Kontrolle fehlte in TNF-stimulierten Tnfr1-defizienten Glomeruli die Sekretion verschiedener proinflammatorischer Chemokine beinahe vollständig. Interessanterweise war die Proteinexpression auch in Tnfr2-defizienten Glomeruli signifikant herunterreguliert. Folglich sind die meisten inflammatorischen TNF-Effekte in Glomeruli via Tnfr1 durch die induzierte Expression von proinfammatorischen Mediatoren wie Adhäsionsmolekülen und Chemokinen vermittelt. Darüber hinaus dürfte Tnfr2 zu dieser inflammatorischen Antwort beitragen, wenn Glomeruli niedrigen TNF-Konzentrationen ausgesetzt sind. Ferner scheint Tnfr2 posttranskriptionell die Chemokinsekretion in Glomeruli nach einer TNF-Exposition zu beeinflussen, möglicherweise durch die Tnfr2-abhängig exprimierte Rab GTPase Rab6b, die am intrazellulären Transport und der Sekretion von inflammatorischen Molekulen beteiligt sein könnte. In Bezug auf Tnfr-spezifische, anti-inflammatorische Therapien weisen die hier präsentierten Ergebnisse somit darauf hin, dass eine selektive Tnfr1-Blockade eine glomeruläre, insbesondere durch Granulozyten und Makrophagen vermittelte Entzündung verbessern könnte, möglicherweise bei geringer Hemmung immunregulatorischer und antimikrobieller Funktionen von TNF, die redundant durch Tnfr2 vermittelt werden könnten. Dagegen erscheint aufgrund der erhobenen Daten im MRL/lpr-Mausmodell eine Blockade von TNF oder beider Rezeptoren bei der Lupusnephritis, in der glomeruläre Neutrophileninfiltrate keine entzündliche Rolle spielen, weniger erfolgversprechend. Gleichzeitig weisen die vorliegenden Ergebnisse auf eine immunsuppressive, die systemische Immunreaktivität beim SLE begrenzende Funktion von Tnfr2 hin.

Eine Glomerulonephritis kann durch eine virale Infektion verschlechtert werden, sie kann aber auch erst durch diese entstehen. Die Erkennung der viralen Bestandteile erfolgt über Pathogenerkennungsrezeptoren, wie beispielweise Toll-like Rezeptoren und RIG-like Rezeptoren. Die Hypothese der vorliegenden experimentellen Arbeit war, dass die nierenspezifischen Podozyten Pathogenerkennungsrezeptoren besitzen, die pathogen-assoziierte molekulare Muster erkennen und daraus Zytokine und antivirale Typ-I Interferone produzieren. Hierbei könnten Podozyten zu der Entstehung bzw. Veschlechterung einer virusassoziierten Glomerulonephritis beitragen. Murine Podozyten exprimieren, mit Ausnahme des Toll-like Rezeptors 8, alle bis dato bekannten Toll-like Rezeptoren (TLR-1 bis -11) in verschiedener Ausprägung. Sie exprimieren außerdem die zytosolische Rezeptoren RIG-1, MDA-5, DAI sowie deren Adaptermolekül IPS-1. Die Aktivierung dieser Rezeptoren verursacht die Produktion von Zytokinen und Typ-I Interferonen. Um die intrazelluläre Aufnahme der Nukleinsäuren zu gewährleisten, wurden diese mit kationischen Lipiden komplexiert. Dieser Vorgang wurde durch Cytochalasin D, Chlorpromazin und Methyl-β-Cyclodextrin unterbrochen. Daraufhin ergeben sich die Phagozytose, die Clathrin-abhängige Endozytose und die Caveolae-vermittelte Endozytose als mögliche Transportmechanismen. Das Adaptorprotein MyD88 zeigte bei Podozyten keine Bedeutung für die Nukleinsäureaufnahme in die Zelle zu besitzen. Die Stimulation von Podozyten mit Typ-I Interferonen veranlasste die Produktion von großen Mengen an Interleukin-6 und führte zu einer starken Expression von Pathogenerkennungsrezeptoren sowie proinflammatorischen Zytokinen auf Transkriptionsebene. Eine autokrin-parakrine Aktivierung der Podozyten durch ausgeschüttete Typ-I Interferone konnten wir ausschließen. Weder die Durchlässigkeit für Albumin noch die Viabilität der Zellen wurde durch die Aktivierung von Pathogenerkennungsrezeptoren beeinflusst. Eine Funktionseinschränkung der Podozyten nach Stimulation der TLRs oder RLRs im Sinne eines direkten Einflusses auf die Permeabilität oder die Fußfortsatzzahl fand sich nicht, jedoch zeigten Podozyten eine vermehrte Zytokinproduktion, was zur glomerulären Entzündung bei viraler Glomerulonephritis beitragen könnte.

IL-1β and IL-18 are proinflammatory cytokines that contribute to renal immune complex disease, but whether IL-1β and IL-18 are mediators of intrinsic glomerular inflammation is unknown. In contrast to other cytokines the secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 requires a second stimulus that activates the inflammasome-ASC-caspase-1 pathway to cleave pro-IL-1β and -IL-18 into their mature and secretable forms. As the NLRP3 inflammasome and caspase-1 were shown to contribute to postischemic and postobstructive tubulointerstitial inflammation, we hypothesized a similar role for NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1 in glomerular immunopathology. This concept was supported by the finding that lack of IL-1R1 reduced antiserum-induced focal segmental necrosis, crescent formation, and tubular atrophy when compared to wildtype mice. Lack of IL-18 reduced tubular atrophy only. However, NLRP3-, ASC- or caspase-1-deficiency had no significant effect on renal histopathology or proteinuria of serum nephritis. In vitro studies with mouse glomeruli or mesangial cells, glomerular endothelial cells, and podocytes did not reveal any pro-IL-1β induction upon LPS stimulation and no caspase-1 activation after an additional exposure to the NLRP3 agonist ATP. Only renal dendritic cells, which reside mainly in the tubulointerstitium, expressed pro-IL-1β and were able to activate the NLRP3-caspase-1 axis and secrete mature IL-1β. Together, the NLRP3-ASC-caspase-1 axis does not contribute to intrinsic glomerular inflammation via glomerular parenchymal cells as these cannot produce IL-1β during sterile inflammation.

The long pentraxin PTX3 has multiple roles in innate immunity. For example, PTX3 regulates C1q binding to pathogens and dead cells and regulates their uptake by phagocytes. It also inhibits P-selectin-mediated recruitment of leukocytes. Both of these mechanisms are known to be involved in autoimmunity and autoimmune tissue injury, e.g. in systemic lupus erythematosus, but a contribution of PTX3 is hypothetical. To evaluate a potential immunoregulatory role of PTX3 in autoimmunity we crossed Ptx3-deficient mice with Fas-deficient (lpr) C57BL/6 (B6) mice with mild lupus-like autoimmunity. PTX3 was found to be increasingly expressed in kidneys and lungs of B6lpr along disease progression. Lack of PTX3 impaired the phagocytic uptake of apoptotic T cells into peritoneal macrophages and selectively expanded CD4/CD8 double negative T cells while other immune cell subsets and lupus autoantibody production remained unaffected. Lack of PTX3 also aggravated autoimmune lung disease, i.e. peribronchial and perivascular CD3+ T cell and macrophage infiltrates of B6lpr mice. In contrast, histomorphological and functional parameters of lupus nephritis remained unaffected by the Ptx3 genotype. Together, PTX3 specifically suppresses autoimmune lung disease that is associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. Vice versa, loss-of-function mutations in the Ptx3 gene might represent a genetic risk factor for pulmonary (but not renal) manifestations of systemic lupus or other autoimmune diseases.

Non-CpG-DNA and 3P-RNA activated mesangial cells to produce inflammatory cytokines and type 1 interferons in TLR-independent manner. Both ligands induced similar gene expression patterns in mesangial cells. This data unravelled the existence of TLR-independent pathways and production of type1 interferons in mesangial cells. These results substantiate the idea that, immune complexes that are associated with nucleic acids can activate glomerular cells via TLR-independent manner, which leads to glomerular inflammation. Furthermore, exposure of non-CpG-DNA and 3P-RNA in MRLlpr/lpr mice aggravated the disease pathology in different manner. Even though 3P-RNA and non-CpG-DNA induced similar gene expression in mesangial cells but in vivo both ligands aggravated the disease in different fashion. 3P-RNA induced type I IFN signaling and decreased the number of regulatory T cells while non-CpG-DNA induced plasma cell expansion, lymphoproliferation and splenomegaly. However, both ligands induced the production of dsDNA autoantibodies and increased the glomerular deposition of IgG. These data suggest that viral 3P-RNA and non-CpG-DNA differently modulate autoimmunity but still both aggravate autoimmune tissue injury by activating non-immune cells at the tissue level

Es ist bereits bekannt, dass akute Infektionen zur Verschlechterung einer vorbestehenden Glomerulonephritis führen können. Dies ist zum Beispiel bei der Lupusnephritis, der IgA-Nephropathie oder der renalen Vaskulitis der Fall (mesangioproliferative Glomerulonephritiden). Chronische virale Infektionen (z.B. Hepatitis C) können sogar eine de novo Glomerulonephritis auslösen. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine Immunkomplex-Glomerulonephritis, die durch die Bildung von Immunkomplexen aus eindringendem Antigen und daraufhin gebildetem Antikörper entsteht. Die Immunkomplexe werden über den Fc-Teil des Antikörpers erkannt. Ob die viralen Komponenten dieser Komplexe auch direkt erkannt werden und von welchen Zellen ist unbekannt. Neben der Bildung von Immunkomplexen spielt die Produktion von Interferonen eine wichtige Rolle bei der Entstehung von virusassoziierten Glomerulonephritiden. Die Aktivierung der systemischen antiviralen Immunität führt zur systemischen Interferonfreisetzung. Es wird angenommen, dass die meisten Zellen Typ I-Interferone produzieren können, wenn sie viral infiziert werden. So kann beispielsweise die TLR-3- vermittelte Erkennung viraler dsRNA in den Inselzellen des Pankreas über lokale IFN-a-Produktion eine autoimmune Inselzellzerstörung auslösen. Dahingegen ist unklar, ob lokal produzierte Typ I-Interferone zur Entstehung von irusassoziierten Glomerulonephritiden beitragen können. Wurde Mäusen virale dsRNA injiziert, gelangte diese zu den glomerulären Mesangialzellen. Mesangialzellen besitzen als einzigen nukleinsäurespezifischen Toll-like Rezeptor den TLR-3 und produzieren auf Stimulation durch virale dsRNA hin Interleukin-6 und CCL2. Ob dieser Effekt über den endosomalen TLR-3 oder über zytosolische dsRNA-Rezeptoren abläuft und ob Mesangialzellen überhaupt Interferone produzieren können, ist allerdings noch unklar. Unsere Hypothese ist, dass Mesangialzellen virale RNA sowohl TLR-abhängig als auch TLR-unabhängig erkennen können und dass die virale RNA daraufhin ein angeborenes antivirales Antwortprogramm, einschließlich der Produktion von Typ I-Interferonen, in glomerulären Mesangialzellen aktiviert.
