2 IgA Nephropathy (IgA-N) Berger s disease IgA-N is the most prevalent GN One of the first cause of ESRD Hematuria & proteinuria Absence of specific treatment IgA1 complexes in the mesangium

3 Features IgA nephropathy Absence of symptoms Haematuria very common Deposits usually restricted to mesangium Deposits usually piga1 Variable systemic involvement - HSP Variable glomerular injury Transplant recurrence

4 IgA nephropathy Is IgAN a single disease? STEP 1 STEP 2 IgA deposit alone No disease? IgA deposit + altered function Disease Data from autopsies 5-15% of general pop Renal Biopsies

5 Is IgAN a multi-hit disease? General population IgA deposits 4-16% Hit 1: why? < 0.5% IgAN ESRD Hit 2: why? Hit 3: why?

6 SUSCEPTIBILITY TO IgA NEPHROPATHY Production of pathogenic IgA & complexes IgAN Abnormal Mucosal handling of Ag? Inflammatory phenotype Genetic influences

7 What leads to IgA1 deposits alone without renal alterations? What are the hits needed for disease development?

8 Polymeric IgA1 IgA1 IgA2 J-chain Polymeric IgA1 Secretory Secretory IgA IgA

9 Kidney eluates from patient biopsies revealed abnormal IgA containing immune complexes Negative charge of IgA1 piga complexes From «Charge and size of mesangial IgA in IgA Nephropathy» Monteiro,.., Berger, Lesavre. Kidney Int 1985

12 Why does Gd-pIgA1 deposit in the kidney? Is IgAN an IgA-immune complex disease?

13 Gd-IgA1 Possible mechanisms of mesangial deposition Complex formation Soluble CD89 IgG-IgA1 IgA1 as antigen Complex formation IgA1-IgA1 selfaggregation Mesangial Deposition

14 Role of the CD89 receptor in IgAN B Cell antibody production Macrophages, PMN, Eosinophils Dendritic cells, Platelets, Kupffer cells leukocyte IgA-N IgA IgA scd89 FcαRI (CD89) Launay et al J Exp Med 2000 Berthelot et al J Exp Med 2012 Dual role in immunoregulation Inhibition vs activation (Monteiro and Van De Winkel.

23 IgA-CD89 complexes are nephrotoxics protease?? Fc RI/CD89 is shed from blood monocytes Receptor interaction on Mesangial cells

24 Mechanims for mesangial IgA1 deposition: Fp: podocyte, Mc: mesangial cell, En: endothelial cell, Ep: epithelial cell, CL: capillary, Bm: basement membrane Mesangial IgA1 receptors? Absence of classical IgA receptors (CD89, pigr, ASGPR, Fcα/μR)

Proliferation IgA1 deposits on mesangial TfR perk activation Cytokines Chemokines Enhanced TfR expression TfR = transferrin receptor Inflammation Fibrosis Mesangiopathy An explanation for IgAN recurrence after transplantation?

33 What is the origin of the Gd-IgA1? Is IgAN an enteric (mucosal) disease?

34 Kidneys IgA-N IgA Skin HSP Dermatitis Intestin Celiac disease Crohn

35 Other similarities between IgAN and celiac disease IgA anti-gliadin Abs in both diseases (Coppo et al, J Am Soc Nephrol, 1992) Overexpression of TfR in enterocytes of celiac patients (Matiziak et al J Exp Med 2008) 4% of IgAN patients develop CD (vs 1% in gen. population) Decreased proteinuria in IgAN treated with gluten-free diet Altered intestinal functions (Coppo et al, Clin Nephrol 1990) Elevated intestinal permeability (Kovacs et al. Am J Nephrol, 1996) Symptoms of mucosal atrophy (Fornasiery et al. Br Med J, 1987) Protective effect of local action corticosteroids (Budesonide) (Fellström et al. Lancet, 2017)

36 Transglutaminase 2 (TG2): an enzyme linked to celiac disease TG2 is overexpressed in IgAN (Ikee et al, 2007, Berthelot 2012) (from Fesus and Piacentini, Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2002) Hypothesis: TG2 mediates mesangial IgA1 deposits through TfR1

44 Genome-wide association study (GWAS) of IgAN 20,612 individuals of European and East Asian ancestry. Six new genome-wide significant associations, four in ITGAM- ITGAX, VAV3 and CARD9 and two new independent signals at HLA-DQB1 and DEFA. Most loci associated with risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), maintenance of the intestinal epithelial barrier or response to mucosal pathogens. Genetic risk correlates strongly with variation in local pathogens, suggesting a possible role for host intestinal pathogen interactions in shaping the genetics of IgAN. Kiryluk, et al. Nature Genetics 2014

45 GUT KIDNEY AXIS Rationale: 1. Altered microbiota (De Angelis et al PloS One 2014), but studied in other CKD 2. Intestinal immunity gene linkage in IgAN patients (by GWAS Kiryluk et al. Nat Genet 2014) 3. Benefits of Budesonide, a corticosteroid with local intestinal action (Fellstrom et al Lancet 2017) Question: Role of microbiota dysbiosis in IgAN? Hypothesis: Microbiota dysbiosis induces dimeric Gd-IgA1 CD89 -
