Immunedysfunction is believed to be the cause of glomerular damage in idiopathic nephroticsyndrome (INS). The immune function is modulated by a regulatory mechanism (such as Tregcells) to avoid over reaction and induce tolerance to self-antigen. In autoimmune disease, suchas systemic lupus erythromatosus or rheumatoid arthritis impairment of Treg cells is the causeof immune dysfunction. Some B cells (CD19+CD24hiCD38hi or PD-L1hi B cells) also haveinhibitory function on T cells, macrophage and neutrophil. They also induce the generation ofTreg cells. The inhibitory function of CD19+CD24hiCD38hi B cells (Breg) is through thesecretion of IL-10 while the PD-L1hi B cells is through the ligation of their PD-L1 with PD-1on other immune cells. In SLE or RA, Breg is decreased or functionally impaired. Infusion ofPD-L1hi B cells improves autoimmune experimental encephalitis. INS is an disease ofautoimmune disease, therefore, it is possible Bregs or PD-L1hi B cells are also decreased orfunctionally impaired leading to immune system over activity and glomerular damage.We hypothesize that: The amount of Bregs or PD-L1hi B cells is decrease or the functionis impaired in INS patients. Increase of Breg or PD-L1hi B cells will attenuate the glomerularinjury in INS patients. Our preliminary results revealed that the amount of Breg cells isdecreased in minimal change disease or focal segmental sclerosis patients and tended todecrease in membranous nephropathy patients. We also found that the Breg cells is lower inpatients who got complete remission 6 months after immunosuppression when compared topatients who did not get complete remission. The PD-L1hi B cells are to be analyzed in ourpatients in the future.In this 3 years project, we will collect more patients to prove that Breg and PD-L1hi Bcells is less or functionally impaired in INS patients. We will also examine IL-10 secretionsignaling pathway STAT3 activity. The factors influencing inhibitory B cells function andnumber, such as T cell subset (especially TFH), serum BAFF and BAFF receptor expressionon Breg or PD-L1hi B cells will be correlated to the status of inhibitory B cells. We willcompare them between different INS pathological diagnosis patients and normal subjects orbetween patients with different response to immunosuppression. The microarray for gene ormiRNA expression will be performed to find out why patients who got complete remissionhad less Breg cells than patients who didn’t get complete remission. In animal study, we willinfuse B10 cells (mice Breg cells) or PD-L1hi B cells into LPS proteinuric and MRLlpr/lpr lupusmice model to see whether infusion of inhibitory B cells could attenuate autoimmuneglomerulonephritis or not.If Bregs or PD-L1hi B cells are indeed less or functionally impaired in INS and we canfind out the factor influencing Breg or PD-L1hi B cells, we will be able to develop a newtreatment strategy through modulation of inhibitory B cells for INS. This will provide betterimmunosuppression with lower side effect in the management of INS.腎病症候群免疫抑制抑制性B細胞蛋白尿nephrotic syndromeimmunosuppressioninhibitory B cellsproteinuriaThe Role of B Cells in Regulating Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome
