The immune response to pig-to-human kidney xenografts Nat. Rev. Nephrol. (IF 41.5) Pub Date : 2023-09-27 Ellen F. Carney
A recent study has characterized the early immune response to xenotransplantation. The researchers used a multimodal approach to phenotype two α-1,3-galactosyltransferase-knockout pig kidney xenografts that were transplanted into brain-dead human recipients. The xenografts remained functional and produced urine throughout the 54-h study period, with no evidence of hyperacute rejection.

Gene therapy in a model of nephrotic syndrome Nat. Rev. Nephrol. (IF 41.5) Pub Date : 2023-09-25 Susan J. Allison
Mutations in NPHS2 — which encodes the slit diaphragm protein, podocin — are the most common genetic cause of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. Using genetic models of nephrotic syndrome, Ding et al. now demonstrate that adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated delivery of podocin can rescue defects in NPHS2.

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common glomerular disease in the world. However, the approach to treatment remains controversial. There has been an explosion of clinical trials over the past decade both further examining corticosteroid use and ushering in additional treatment considerations, including two newly approved therapies for IgAN. Sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are proving to

Rationale & Objective Outcomes of kidney transplantation for patients with renal AA amyloidosis are uncertain, with reports of poor survival and high rates of disease recurrence. However, data are inconclusive and mostly based on studies from the early 2000s and earlier. Study Design Retrospective multicenter cohort study.

Kerckhoffs, Mathijs van Oevelen, Jacobijn Gussekloo, Edo Richard, Willem Jan W Bos, Simon P. Mooijaart
Rationale & Objective Apathy reflects diminished motivation, goal-directed behavior, and emotions, as well as less engagement in social interactions. Apathy overlaps with depression and is associated with cognitive decline. In the older individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), both depression and cognitive impairments are common, but apathy symptoms have been underreported. We investigated the

The Association of Class I and II Human Leukocyte Antigen Serotypes With End-Stage Kidney Disease Due to Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis and Dense Deposit Disease Am. J. Kidney Dis. (IF 13.2) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 Halimat Afolabi, Bing M. Zhang, Michelle O’Shaughnessy, Glenn M. Chertow, Richard Lafayette, Vivek Charu
Rationale & Objective Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), encompassing several distinct diseases, is a rare but significant cause of kidney failure in the US. Potential etiologies of MPGN are unclear, but prior studies have suggested dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway, and recently, autoimmunity as potential mechanisms driving MPGN pathogenesis. In this study, we examined

Natural killer (NK) cell infiltration of kidney allografts is a distinguishing feature of antibody-mediated rejection. Bailly et al. identify a distinct population of cytotoxic CD160+ interleukin-21 receptor+ CD56dimCD16bright NK cells that are uniquely found in the peripheral blood of donor-specific antibody–positive kidney transplant recipients and are present in kidney allografts with active antibody-mediated

Suppressing succinate accumulation during ischemia protects the kidney from IRI Kidney Int. (IF 19.6) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 Nobuaki Nishima, Shinji Tanaka
Previous studies have indicated that succinate accumulation during kidney ischemia, and its oxidation during reperfusion, results in the production of excessive reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial dysfunction, and kidney injury. In this issue, Oh et al. have reported that pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) inhibition in proximal tubules ameliorates kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury via suppressed

Autoregulatory mission impossible: when afferent arterioles lose contractility Kidney Int. (IF 19.6) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 Jing Wu, Thu H. Le
The myogenic response of afferent arterioles is a key autoregulatory mechanism that protects the glomeruli from barotrauma. Afferent arteriolar smooth muscle cells contract to increased intraluminal pressure through mechanosensitive cation channels and interactions between integrin and extracellular matrix that trigger calcium-dependent actomyosin contraction. The study by Feng et al. provides evidence
