摘要
Our study aims to investigate the immunological pathogenesis underlying immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) and explore potential biomarkers for IgAN diagnosis.Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples were screened between IgAN patients and healthy people based on GSE115857. Gene oncology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) enrichment was performed to identify related biological processes and pathways. CIBERSORT was utilized to seek the relationship of immune cell infiltration with IgAN. Finally, the expression of paraoxonase 2 (PON2) related to innate immune response was verified in FFPE samples of minimal change disease and IgAN patients by immunohistochemistry and PAS staining.25 down-regulated genes and 12 up-regulated genes were identified in IgAN patients, which mainly responded to endothelial cell proliferation, inflammatory response, and angiogenesis. Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection might be involved in IgAN pathogenesis. In addition, the infiltration of macrophages M0, naïve B cells, and follicular helper T (Tfh) cells was positively correlated in IgAN patients. Macrophages M1 and M2 infiltration were up-regulated in IgAN patients, which indicated that innate immune response was closely associated with IgAN. Besides, the results of immunohistochemistry showed that PON2 was obviously positively expressed in acute and chronic lesions of IgAN patients.In addition to abnormalities in the adaptive immune response, macrophages M1/M2 and innate immune disorder may participate in IgAN pathogenesis. PON2 may become the feasible targets for further investigation of IgAN.
