Since their introduction in 2006, the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) Sunitinib and Sorafenib have become the standard of care for many patients with renal cancer. They are generally well tolerated and have not been significantly implicated in renal toxicity. We report the first biopsy confirmed
Few cases of immunoallergic tubulointerstitial nephritis associated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been described. We describe the first report case associated with vandetanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of aggressive and symptomatic medullary thyroid cancer (CMT)
Glomerular antibody deposition induces acute neutrophil-mediated glomerular injury via activation of c-Jun amino terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). However, the link between antibody deposition and activation of JNK/p38 MAPK signalling is unclear. This study
BACKGROUND
Mer and Tyro3 are receptor tyrosine kinases important for the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. Together with Axl, they constitute the TAM receptor family. These receptors can be shed from the cell membrane and their soluble extracellular regions can be found in plasma. The objective of
Measurement of the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1)/placental growth factor (PlGF) ratio may be clinically useful to discriminate systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) from preeclampsia. Here, we present a pregnant woman with new-onset SLE with hypertension, with the measurement of the
Glomerulonephritis is one of the most severe manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, with considerable morbidity and mortality. There remains a major unmet need for successful management of lupus nephritis. TAM family receptor tyrosine kinases (Mer and Axl) play an important role in the
BACKGROUND
The tertiary structure of normal podocytes prevents protein from leaking into urine. Patients with lupus nephritis (LN) develop proteinuria, and kidney biopsies from these patients display a number of podocyte abnormalities including retraction of podocyte processes. Autoantibodies have
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease manifested by multiorgan impairment. It is reported that B cells participate in the onset of SLE. Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk), as a downstream signaling molecule of B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling pathway, is involved in the
Mer and Axl receptor tyrosine kinases (MerTK and AxlTK) play important roles in the clearance of apoptotic cells and the inhibition of inflammatory responses. Previous studies demonstrated that they might participate in glomerular injury in mice model. This study aimed to elucidate the expression of
The Fc receptors (FcR) have pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of the autoimmune glomerulonephritis. We therefore investigated the effects of a Syk inhibitor on the progression of lupus nephritis and SH3 domain binding protein 2 and p38MAP kinase signalings in mice. NZB/W F1 mice, a model of lupus
The Mer receptor tyrosine kinase is strongly expressed in the glomerulus. We wondered if this molecule might modify immune-mediated glomerular disease through its functions as a receptor for apoptotic cells and immunoregulatory molecule. Mer-knockout (KO) mice showed decreased survival rate and
Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a typical lesion in autoantibody and immune complex disorders, including SLE. Because the Gas6/Axl pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many types of GN, targeting this pathway might ameliorate GN. Consequently, we have studied the efficacy and mechanism of
Objectives: Growth arrest-specific 6 (Gas6) and its receptors have been shown to play a crucial role in the homeostasis of the innate immune system by regulating apoptosis and inflammation. We aimed to verify whether an impairment of this
Endotoxin induces a variety of proinflammatory mediators and plays a crucial role in kidney inflammation. The receptor tyrosine kinase, Mer, diminishes renal inflammation by attenuating inflammatory responses. We previously reported that Mer is predominantly expressed on glomerular endothelial cells
Antibody-mediated glomerulonephritis, including that resulting from immune complexes, is an important cause of renal failure and is in need of more specific and effective treatment. Binding of antibody or immune complexes to Fc receptors activates intracellular signal transduction pathways,
