Abstrakt: Background: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) primary glomerulonephritis is characterized by the deposition of circulating immune complexes composed of polymeric IgA1 molecules with altered O-glycans (Gd-IgA1) and anti-glycan antibodies in the kidney mesangium. The mesangial IgA deposits and serum IgA1 contain predominantly λ light (L) chains, but the nature and origin of such IgA remains enigmatic.
Methods: We analyzed λ L chain expression in peripheral blood B cells of 30 IgAN patients, 30 healthy controls (HCs), and 18 membranous nephropathy patients selected as disease controls (non-IgAN).
Results: In comparison to HCs and non-IgAN patients, peripheral blood surface/membrane bound (mb)-Gd-IgA1 + cells from IgAN patients express predominantly λ L chains. In contrast, total mb-IgA + , mb-IgG + , and mb-IgM + cells were preferentially positive for kappa ( κ ) L chains, in all analyzed groups. Although minor in comparison to κ L chains, λ L chain subsets of mb-IgG + , mb-IgM + , and mb-IgA + cells were significantly enriched in IgAN patients in comparison to non-IgAN patients and/or HCs. In contrast to HCs, the peripheral blood of IgAN patients was enriched with λ + mb-Gd-IgA1 + , CCR10 + , and CCR9 + cells, which preferentially home to the upper respiratory and digestive tracts. Furthermore, we observed that mb-Gd-IgA1 + cell populations comprise more CD138 + cells and plasmablasts (CD38 + ) in comparison to total mb-IgA + cells.
Conclusions: Peripheral blood of IgAN patients is enriched with migratory λ + mb-Gd-IgA1 + B cells, with the potential to home to mucosal sites where Gd-IgA1 could be produced during local respiratory or digestive tract infections.
