    Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor-a (VEGF-A) and nitric oxide (NO) are essential for glomerular filtration barrier homeostasis, and are dysregulated in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). While NO availability is consistently low in diabetes, both high and low VEGF-A have been reported in patients with DKD. Here we examined the effect of inducible podocyte

    Abstract The use of quantitative techniques in diagnostic renal pathology has not been utilized fully because of the relative inaccessibility and complexity of using statistically valid stereologic techniques. The introduction of digital image capture and computer-assisted image analysis has opened a new door to the analysis of renal biopsies. The potential of quantitative information to give greater prognostic information or better insight into the pathogenesis of many of these lesions is yet to be completely elucidated. Digital imaging and the advent of virtual microscopy should open new avenues of investigation into the pathogenesis of renal disease using clinically obtained renal biopsy material.

    Methods: Baseline characteristics, initial (
    Results: A total of 218 patients had follow-up and Class IV had worse renal survival, especially in patients with active and chronic glomerular lesions {relative to non-IV; Class IV-A: hazard ratio [HR] 0.92 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.41-2.04], Class IV-AC: HR 5.02 [95% CI 2.70-9.36]}. Interstitial inflammation grade [relative to interstitial inflammation <5%; interstitial inflammation 5-25%: HR 2.36 (95% CI 1.13-4.91), interstitial inflammation 25-50%: HR 3.84 (95% CI 1.53-9.62), interstitial inflammation >50%: HR 7.67 (95% CI 3.75-15.67)] and increased interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) category [relative to IFTA <5%; IFTA 5-25%: HR 3.93 (95% CI 1.58-9.75), IFTA 25-50%: HR 4.01 (95% CI 1.37-11.70), IFTA >50%: HR 13.99 (95% CI 4.91-39.83)] predicted worse renal survival among all patients and those with Class IV on initial and repeat biopsy (
    Conclusions: Interstitial inflammation and IFTA independently affect renal survival and grading these lesions stratifies risk within the International Society of Nephrology and Renal Pathology Society classification of lupus nephritis.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Uromodulin, produced exclusively in the kidney's thick ascending limb, is a biomarker of kidney tubular health. However, the relationship between urine uromodulin and histologic changes in the kidney tubulointerstitium has not been characterized. In this study, we test the association of urine uromodulin with kidney histologic findings in humans and mice.
    Design, setting, participants, & measurements: We investigated the independent association of urine uromodulin measured at the time of kidney biopsy with histologic features in 364 participants at two academic medical centers from 2015 to 2018 using multivariable linear regression models. This relationship was further examined by comparison of uromodulin staining in murine models of kidney fibrosis and repair.
    Results: We found urine uromodulin to be correlated with serum creatinine (rho=-0.43;
    Conclusions: Higher urine uromodulin is independently associated with lower tubulointerstitial fibrosis in both human kidney biopsies and a mouse model of fibrosis.

    Abstract Objective: To determine if single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes are enriched in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and if they are sufficient to confer a disease phenotype in a mouse model.
    Methods: Human exome chip data of 2499 patients with SLE and 1230 healthy controls were analyzed to determine if variants in 10 different mismatch repair genes (MSH4, EXO1, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, MSH3, POLH, PMS2, ML3, and APEX2) were enriched in individuals with SLE. A mouse model of the MSH6 SNP, which was found to be enriched in individuals with SLE, was created using CRISPR/Cas9 gene targeting. Wildtype mice and mice heterozygous and homozygous for the MSH6 variant were then monitored for 2 years for the development of autoimmune phenotypes, including the presence of high levels of antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Additionally, somatic hypermutation frequencies and spectra of the intronic region downstream of the V
    Results: Based on the human exome chip data, the MSH6 variant (rs63750897, p.Ser503Cys) is enriched among patients with SLE versus controls after we corrected for ancestry (odds ratio = 8.39, P = 0.0398). Mice homozygous for the MSH6 variant (Msh6
    Conclusion: An MSH6 mutation that is enriched in humans diagnosed with lupus was identified. Mice harboring this Msh6 mutation develop increased autoantibodies and an inflammatory lung disease. These results suggest that the human MSH6 variant is linked to the development of SLE.

    Abstract Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) is a regulator of disease pathogenesis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Why TLR9 represses disease while TLR7 and MyD88 have the opposite effect remains undefined. To begin to address this question, we created 2 alleles to manipulate TLR9 expression, allowing for either selective deletion or overexpression. We used these to test cell type-specific effects of Tlr9 expression on the regulation of SLE pathogenesis. Notably, Tlr9 deficiency in B cells was sufficient to exacerbate nephritis while extinguishing anti-nucleosome antibodies, whereas Tlr9 deficiency in dendritic cells (DCs), plasmacytoid DCs, and neutrophils had no discernable effect on disease. Thus, B cell-specific Tlr9 deficiency unlinked disease from autoantibody production. Critically, B cell-specific Tlr9 overexpression resulted in ameliorated nephritis, opposite of the effect of deleting Tlr9. Our findings highlight the nonredundant role of B cell-expressed TLR9 in regulating lupus and suggest therapeutic potential in modulating and perhaps even enhancing TLR9 signals in B cells.

    Abstract Under present climate conditions, convection at high latitudes of the North Pacific is restricted to shallower depths than in the North Atlantic. To what extent this asymmetry between the two ocean basins was maintained over the past 20 kyr is poorly known because there are few unambiguous proxy records of ventilation from the North Pacific. We present new data for two sediment cores from the California margin at 800 and 1600 m depth to argue that the depth of ventilation shifted repeatedly in the northeast Pacific over the course of deglaciation. The evidence includes benthic foraminiferal Cd/Ca, 18O/16O, and 13C/12C data as well as radiocarbon age differences between benthic and planktonic foraminifera. A number of features in the shallower of the two cores, including an interval of laminated sediments, are consistent with changes in ventilation over the past 20 kyr suggested by alternations between laminated and bioturbated sediments in the Santa Barbara Basin and the Gulf of California [Keigwin and Jones, 1990 doi:10.1029/PA005i006p01009; Kennett and Ingram, 1995 doi:10.1038/377510a0; Behl and Kennett, 1996 doi:10.1038/379243a0]. Data from the deeper of the two California margin cores suggest that during times of reduced ventilation at 800 m, ventilation was enhanced at 1600 m depth, and vice versa. This pronounced depth dependence of ventilation needs to be taken into account when exploring potential teleconnections between the North Pacific and the North Atlantic.
