The long pentraxin PTX3 is synthesized in IgA glomerulonephritis and activates mesangial cells

BUSSOLATI, BENEDETTA Peri, Giuseppe Salvidio, Gennaro

The long pentraxin PTX3 has been recently involved in amplification of the inflammatory reactions and regulation of innate immunity. In the present study we evaluated the expression and role of PTX3 in glomerular inflammation. PTX3 expression was investigated in the IgA, type I membranoproliferative, and diffuse proliferative lupus...

Nephrin expression is reduced in human diabetic nephropathy: Evidence for a distinct role for glycated albumin and angiotensin II

Doublier, Sophie Salvidio, Gennaro Lupia, Enrico

We studied the distribution of nephrin in renal biopsies from 17 patients with diabetes and nephrotic syndrome (7 type 1 and 10 type 2 diabetes), 6 patients with diabetes and microalbuminuria (1 type 1 and 5 type 2 diabetes), and 10 normal subjects. Nephrin expression was semiquantitatively evaluated by measuring immunofluorescence intensity by...
