However, there is no direct evidence showing infusion of anti-PLA2R anybody causes the development of MN. The detail mechanism of the generation of auto-antibody is still unknown. The interaction between follicular helper T cell (Tfh) and the B cell plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of germinal center that controls the humoral immune response. The interaction includes several costimulatory molecules, such as IL-21-IL21R, B7–CD28, CD40–CD40L, ICOSL- ICOS and PDL1- PD1 which sustain B cells proliferation and gene expression programs. There were evidences showing that increased ratio of ICOS(+) /PD-1(+) follicular helper T cells positively correlates with the development of human idiopathic membranous nephropathy. Our preliminary results also revealed the expression of PD-1/PDL-1 in B cells was enhanced in MN patients. We hypothesize that these costimulatory molecules are up-regulated enhancing the interaction between Tfh and B cells in idiopathic MN patients. This study is to provide the direct evidence that anti-PLA2R antibody is the pathogenic mediator in idiopathic MN. We will also explore the expression of costimulatory molecules and their clinical significance in idiopathic MN patients. We will include 100 MN patients and 40 normal subjects. The presence and titer of anti-PLA2R antibody will be evaluated with ELISA kit. The costimulatory molecules, such as IL-21-IL21R, B7–CD28, CD40–CD40L, ICOSL- ICOS and PDL1- PD1, will be evaluated with flow cytometry after labeling with suitable fluorescence conjugated antibody. The expression of costimulatory molecules will be correlated to disease activity and anti-PLA2R antibody. These expressions will also be analyzed to examine the prediction power of remission in MN patients.We will also generate podocyte specific inducible human PLA2R over expression mice. After induction of PLA2R protein at podocyte in these mice, plasma derived from anti-PLA2R antibody positive patients will be infused into podocyte human PLA2R antigen carrying mice. The proteinuria and subepithelial deposit will be examined to demonstrate the development of MN. We expect neutralizing anti-PLA2R antibody specifically with decoy peptide or protein will attenuate proteinuria. Besides, we will also try to induce active MN mice model. The inducible podocyte human PLA2R over expression mice will be challenged with human PLA2R protein with/without anti-PD-1 agents. Then proteinuria will be measured and the pathological findings of MN, including subepithelial deposit will be examined. This project will provide direct evidence that anti-PLA2R antibody is the pathogenic mediator in idiopathic MN. The podocyte specific inducible human PLA2R over expression mouse strain could be a platform to test any novel drug for treating anti-PLA2R antibody associated MN. The active PLA2R MN model could be used to study the immune dysfunction leading to MN. Besides, understanding the interaction between Tfh and B cells is helpful realizing the mechanism of auto-antibody generation in MN patients. This knowledge helps us developing a new target treatment strategy for MN patients.膜性腎病變磷脂酶A2受體免疫細胞共同刺激分子membranous nephropathyphospholipase receptor A2 receptorimmune cellcostimulatory moleculesExplore Anti-Phospholipase A2 Receptor Antibody as the Pathogenic Mediator and the Clinical Significance of Costimulatory Molecules on T and B Cells in Membranous Nephropathy Patients
