1 The EGF Receptor promotes glomerular injury in necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis. M. FLAMANT G. BOLLEE PL. THARAUX Actualités néphrologiques 24 Avril 2012

2 Glomerulonephritis 12% of ESRD Registre R.E.I.N, 2008 IgAN Vasculitis / ANCA SLE Goodpasture / anti-gbm post infectious GN Cryoglobulinemia... pauci-immunes RPGN Activation of neutrophils In response to ANCA anti-gbm Glomerulonepritis anti-α3nc1 / α5nc1 antibodies Autoreactive T Lymphocytes Epitope spreading immune complexes RPGN 25% Auto-antibodies Complement activation Common mechanisms? Glomerular epithelial cells

3 Podocytes in NCGN Up to 50% of the crescentic cells Transformation of their phenotype: - loss of differenciation markers - Migration and proliferation Proliferation of podocytes induced by the deletion of the vhl gene is sufficient to develop a NCGN Ding, Nat Med, 2006

4 Glomerular parietal epithelial cells in NCGN PEC-rtTA/LC1/R26R mice Smeets, J Am Soc Nephrol, 2009 involvement of the GPEC in human and murine crescentic glomerulonephritis up to 80% of the crescentic cells Progenitor cells: - CD24 and CD133 expression (human) - podocytes regeneration

5 ANCA vasculitis anti-gbm antibodies Immune complexes Immunosuppressants? Inflammation injury rupture of the glomerular filtration barrier leakage of plasma proteins Local factors? Proliferation and migration of glomerular epithelial cells HB-EGF EGFR Proliferation Migration Inflammation?
