Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for determining the possibility of developing IgA nephropathy or disease activity by blood-mediated liquid biopsy.
- Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is a chronic glomerulonephritis characterized by deposition of IgA1 and complement C3 in the mesangial region of the glomerulus, mesangial cell proliferation, and matrix proliferation. Autoantibodies are formed against glycosylated IgA1, and immune complexes containing galactose-deficient glycosylated IgA1 and its autoantibodies are formed in the blood. It is believed that the deposition of the formed immune complexes in the mesangial region of the glomerulus induces nephritis and leads to renal damage.
- IgA nephropathy is the most frequent primary glomerulonephritis, but approximately 20-40% of cases develop end-stage renal failure 20-30 years after renal biopsy, and it is a disease with a poor prognosis, requiring renal replacement therapy such as hemodialysis. For this reason, early diagnosis and treatment, as well as accurate evaluation of disease activity, are important for IgA nephropathy.
- the initial symptom of IgA nephropathy is mainly abnormal urine test results, and the disease is often discovered when hematuria or proteinuria is detected during a health check.
- a definitive diagnosis of IgA nephropathy requires a pathological diagnosis based on renal tissue findings from a renal biopsy, but renal biopsy requires hospitalization and is highly invasive. It is not easy to perform frequent renal biopsies on the same patient to evaluate disease activity. Meanwhile, the traditional methods of evaluating disease activity based on proteinuria, hematuria, or serum creatinine used in diagnosis are simple and useful methods, but there are limitations to their accuracy.
- IgA nephropathy the main treatments for IgA nephropathy are supportive therapy centered on RA (renin-angiotensin) system inhibitors, and aggressive therapy that includes supportive therapy plus immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids or tonsillectomy.
- RA renin-angiotensin
- immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids or tonsillectomy.
- simple tests such as serum tests, that can diagnose IgA nephropathy or evaluate disease activity, as a means of determining whether or not to perform aggressive treatment at the time of initial onset and recurrence.
- the complement pathways involved in IgA nephropathy are said to be the alternative pathway and the lectin pathway. It has been reported that the serum concentration of complement factor H-related protein 1 (FHRP1), one of the regulatory factors in the blood of the alternative pathway, tends to be increased in patients with IgA nephropathy compared to healthy individuals (Non-Patent Document 1). However, the difference in serum concentration between healthy individuals and patients with IgA nephropathy is slight, making it difficult to use clinically as a marker for the onset of IgA nephropathy.
- FHRP1 complement factor H-related protein 1

- the inventors conducted intensive research to solve the above problems, and as a result, they used a mass spectrometer to analyze samples from patients with IgA nephropathy and samples from people without IgA nephropathy, and succeeded in identifying a new protein that is specifically elevated in patients with IgA nephropathy. They discovered that by using this protein as a marker, it is possible to obtain useful information about the presence or absence of IgA nephropathy and the state of the disease, and thus completed the present invention.

を有し、
前記IgA腎症マーカータンパク質は、IgA免疫複合体に含まれているタンパク質であって、IgA腎症罹患者群のIgA免疫複合体に含まれている量が、健常者群のIgA免疫複合体に含まれている量よりも多いタンパク質である、IgA腎症患者に対する治療方法。
IgA腎症患者に腎生検を行うことなく、血液を測定することによりIgA腎症の診断及び疾患活動性の判断ができる新規バイオマーカー候補タンパク質を同定するために、血液中のIgA免疫複合体をプロテオーム解析することにより、IgA腎症患者で特異的に増加しているタンパク質を探索した。
健常者(n=20)、膜性腎症や微小変化型ネフローゼ症候群の他腎疾患(IgA腎症以外)患者群(n=8)、IgA腎症患者の支持療法群(n=8)、及び、IgA腎症患者の積極的治療群(n=24)から血清を回収した(表1)。IgA腎症患者の支持療法群と積極的治療群の分類は、藤田医科大学の治療アルゴリズムに基づき、分類した。
支持療法群は、すでに腎機能障害が進行した症例、腎生検で得られた組織において急性病変に乏しい症例、あるいは検尿所見が軽微である症例が含まれる。治療は、RA系阻害薬を中心とした保存療法が行われた。一方、積極的治療群は、扁桃摘出とステロイドパルス療法(Pozziらの方式)で治療した患者群である。組織学的急性病変が認められ、検尿所見が重度である患者がこれに該当する。
各血清100μLから、抗ヒトIgA抗体(製品番号:0855068、Cappel Labporatories社製)を結合した臭化シアン活性化セファロースカラムを用いたアフィニティークロマトグラフィー法により、IgA免疫複合体を分離・精製した。具体的には、血清100μLとリン酸緩衝食塩水1mLを加え、0.45μmフィルターで濾過した後、アフィニティーカラムに吸着させた。当該アフィニティーカラムをリン酸緩衝食塩水で洗浄した後、IgA免疫複合体を0.1M グリシン塩酸緩衝液(pH2.7)で溶出した。溶出した溶液は、1.0M トリス塩酸緩衝液(pH9.0)を用いて中和した。
IgA免疫複合体5μgを、冷却したアセトンを用いて沈殿させた。その沈殿を250mM リン酸ナトリウムバッファー(pH6.0)で溶解させ、シアリダーゼA(製品名:GK80040、Prozyme社製)を2.5mU添加して、37℃で一晩の酵素処理を行った。その後、ジチオスレイトール(DTT)を終濃度20mMで添加して、室温で15分間還元処理を行った。還元後のサンプルに、100mM 炭酸水素アンモニウム溶液(pH8.3)で溶解したトリプシン(製品名:V528A、Promega社製)0.1gを添加して、再び37℃で一晩の酵素処理を行った。酵素処理後のサンプル全量に対して、C18スピンカラム(製品名:89870、Thermo Fisher Scientific社製)を用いて、脱塩処理を行った。最後に、SpeedVacを用いて、サンプルを乾固させた。
Proteome Discovererで同定されたタンパク質の相対存在量を、Perseus (version 1.6.15.0)を用いて、差違解析した。タンパク質の相対存在量をLog2変換し、各サンプルの中央値を差し引いて正規化した。欠損値に関しては、正規分布に基づいて補完した(width = 0.3、downshift = 1.8)。統計学的有意差は、Student’s t-testで検定し、P-value<0.05 かつLog2(Fold change)絶対値>0.58を満たすタンパク質を、有意差のあるタンパク質とした。
免疫学的な手法であるELISAを用いて、健常者、IgA腎症患者、他腎疾患患者(サンプル量不足のためn=7)のIgA免疫複合体中に含まれるFHRP1量を測定した。FHRP1の測定は、IgA濃度を揃えて測定し、IgA10μgあたりに含まれるFHRP1量(ng/IgA10μg)を算出した。測定値を、Kruskal Wallis testにて検定し(P<0.0001)、その後の検定をDunn’s multiple comparisons testにて行った。
