proof has at last been provided that idiopathic membranous nephropathy is caused by autoantibodies to proteins expressed by podocytes. The discovery that autoantibodies to the M-type secretory phospholipase A2 receptor were present in most individuals affected by the condition opens a new era for the management of membranous nephropathy.

Eculizumab use in a tertiary care nephrology center: data from the Vienna TMA cohort

Christof Aigner, Martina Gaggl, Gunar Stemer, Michael Eder, Georg Bohmig, Renate Kain, Zoltan Prohaszka, Nora Garam, Dorottya Csuka, Raute Sunder-Plassmann, Leah Charlotte Piggott, Natalja Haninger-Vacariu, Alice Schmidt, Gere Sunder-Plassmann

Summary: The study examined the indications and outcomes of eculizumab therapy in a tertiary care nephrology center, showing that it is the treatment of choice for patients with complement gene-variant mediated TMA who do not respond to plasma therapy. However, response rates to therapy were lower in patients with secondary TMA and C3 glomerulopathy, highlighting the importance of carefully considering the decision to start therapy.

Murine Ex Vivo Cultured Alveolar Macrophages Provide a Novel Tool to Study Tissue-Resident Macrophage Behavior and Function

Anna-Dorothea Gorki, Dorte Symmank, Sophie Zahalka, Karin Lakovits, Anastasiya Hladik, Brigitte Langer, Barbara Maurer, Veronika Sexl, Renate Kain, Sylvia Knapp

Summary: This study proposes a novel culture model for studying and expanding murine primary alveolar macrophages (AMs) in vitro over several months. The cultured AMs maintain typical features and surface markers, and exhibit similar functions and transcriptional profile to primary AMs. When transferred into AM-deficient mice, the cultured AMs efficiently engraft in the lung and perform key macrophage functions.

Summary: This study established a severe FNGN mouse model by combined administration of antibodies and bacterial lipopolysaccharides, which replicated acute injury and investigated the process of glomerular and interstitial scarring. Mass-spectrometric proteome analysis revealed detailed changes in the extracellular matrix and cells. The study observed tissue infiltration by neutrophils, macrophages, T cells, and myofibroblasts.

Summary: This study found that TNC may play an important role in the formation and progression of AAA, with TNC knockout mice showing lower disease diameters compared to wild-type mice. In human cells, TNC incubation resulted in the expression of remodeling-associated proteins.

Summary: This clinical trial evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of a third COVID-19 vaccination in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). The results showed that the third vaccination had good immunogenicity and safety in these patients, but the effects of immunomodulatory therapy should be considered.

Accelerated waning of immune responses to a third COVID-19 vaccination in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases

Summary: A study found that patients under immunosuppression experienced a rapid decline in antibodies after the third COVID-19 vaccine dose, and it remains unclear whether immunosuppressive therapy affects immune responses. Monitoring the immune response and adverse events in 50 immunosuppressed patients and 42 healthy controls, it was observed that immunosuppressed patients had significantly lower antibody levels, suggesting the need for an early fourth vaccination.

Summary: Iron is a crucial cellular metal for various physiological functions. Its absorption from the diet and transport by transferrin is important for iron metabolism. Regulation of iron absorption and transfer remains poorly understood. In this study, macrophage-specific deletion of Tsc2, a negative regulator of mTORC1, in mice led to defects in iron metabolism, including impaired erythropoiesis and reduced Tf saturation. This was due to an iron import block in the duodenal epithelial cells. Activation of mTORC1 in duodenal macrophages promoted Tf degradation, while depletion of macrophages increased Tf levels. Inhibition of mTORC1 or serine protease activity restored Tf levels in the Tsc2-deficient mice. These findings suggest that duodenal macrophages regulate iron transfer by controlling Tf availability.

Summary: We conducted a neuropathological analysis on 32 patients who died from COVID-19 in Austria between 2020 and 2021. The results showed diffuse white matter damage and microglial activation in all cases, indicating indirect brain damage rather than direct virus-specific damage. Inflammatory changes and vascular pathologies were also observed, along with silent neurodegenerative pathologies in elderly patients. These findings align with experimental data on SARS-CoV-2-related brain damage and provide a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying neurological symptoms after COVID-19.

Summary: A 24-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and severe proteinuria was diagnosed with ABCC8-MODY12. Kidney biopsy showed nodular glomerulosclerosis. Dialysis and treatment with a sulfonylurea improved his glycemic control. This case highlights the risk of early-onset and severe diabetic kidney disease in patients with ABCC8-MODY12 and emphasizes the importance of timely genetic diagnosis for proper treatment and prevention of late sequelae of diabetes.

Computer-assisted evaluation enhances the quantification of interstitial fibrosis in renal implantation biopsies, measures differences between frozen and paraffin sections, and predicts delayed graft function

Summary: (English Summary:) This study used digital image analysis (DIA) to evaluate interstitial fibrosis in pre-implantation biopsies. The results showed that frozen sections displayed a broader interstitial area compared to paraffin sections, and DIA was found to be more consistent and accurate in evaluating interstitial fibrosis. Additionally, DIA of interstitial fibrosis in paraffin sections was identified as an independent predictor for delayed graft function.
