| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To elucidate the etiology of IgA nephropathy, we tried to clarify the functional abnormality and disease process by analyzing simultaneously the host genomics, metagenomics of tonsils, and glomerular proteomics of samples from patients with IgAN. We observed the up-regulation of APRIL and production of galactose-deficient IgA1 (GdIgA1) in the tonsils, which was well correlated with the amount of deposition of GdIgA1 in the glomerulus. The possible involvement of periodontal anaerobic bacilli was suggested by IgA-Seq analysis of tonsils from the patients. The high activity of biosynthesis, TCA cycle, and carbon metabolism, whereas reduced activity of cytoskeleton structure of podocyte, were revealed by glomerular proteomics.
Genome analyses of both isolated and familial cases indicated that the abnormality in natural innate immunity and antigen presentation may be involved in the initiation of the IgA nephropathy.
