| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Japan has 30,000 cases of intractable nephrotic syndrome (NS), which has a phenotype that is independent of pathological diagnosis. Recently, we found GPC5 and SULF2 from GWAS analysis of a Japanese NS cohort. Also, PLA2R1 and HLA-DQ1 are causal factors of primary NS. In this study, we generated BDF1 SULF2 deleted mice and subjected them to FGF2 and puromycin-induced mice NS. Results show that SULF2 plays a crucial protective role for proteinuria. GPC5 was also a susceptible gene in diabetic proteinuria. Genome-wide analysis of PLA2R1 found the new causal SNP in a Japanese cohort. HLA typing revealed the susceptible locus on NS. The interaction between PLA2R1 and HLA gene locus was found to have higher susceptibility to membranous nephropathy with odds ratio higher than 17. We are working now with the second cohort for validation. This project might prove the unique characteristics of Japanese NS cohort and elucidate the NS pathophysiology from the aspect of a common pathway on NS.
