Abstract:

Objective

Screening the differential proteins of cytokines in renal tissues from patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) in order to elucidate the pathogenesis of IgAN.

Methods

10 patients, 18 to 60 years old, diagnosed as IgAN according to the renal biopsies in our hospital, were selected. 10 cases of renal cell carcinoma in department of urology of our hospital, aged 18 to 60 years, were chosen. Normal renal tissues 6 cm away from the renal cancer were taken as controls. The L-493 cytokine antibody microarray was used to screen the renal tissues for differentially-expressed proteins which were subsequently analyzed with the gene ontology (GO) method. Then interleukin-33 (IL-33) was used for validation in enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA).

Results

A total of 25 differentially-expressed proteins were detected. The GO analysis showed that these proteins were related to stress, cell adhesion, protein metabolism, and signal transduction. And the ELISA results showed that the expression of IL-33 in the renal tissues of patients with IgAN was significantly higher than that in the control group.

Conclusions

The differentially-expressed proteins in the renal tissues of IgAN patients may directly or indirectly regulate inflammation, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and fibrosis. IL-33 may be involved in the pathogenesis of IgAN.
