1.Relation between B7-1 and pathogenesis of proteinuria
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;42(6):629-631
For children suffering from primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS), podocyte is a crucial part of glomerular filtration barrier, whose injury usually causes proteinuria.The structural and functional integrity of podocyte cytoskeleton is the prerequisite of its normal physiological function.Recent studies demonstrated that under a certain pathological condition, B7-1, expressed in podocyte, can inhibit the activation of β1 integrin by competitively binding to the target site on the β1 integration, which may change the morphology and function of podocyte, consequently induced proteinuria.Other studies also have showed that abatacept, which selectively inhibit the cross-talk between B7-1 and β1-integrin,can reduce proteinuria in patients with B7-1-positive glomerular disease.These studies suggested that B7-1 may be a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in proteinuria in PNS.This review summarizes the role of B7-1 expressed in podocyte in the pathogenesis of proteinuria and the possibility of clinical application in the future.
