Introduction/objectives: The heterodimer exostosin-1/exostosin-2 (EXO-1/2) is a novel antigen observed in membranous nephropathy associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. This study aimed to evaluate the association between EXO-1/2 positivity in kidney biopsy and kidney outcomes.
Methods: The kidney biopsy tissue from 50 class 5 lupus nephritis (LN) and 55 mixed class 3/4 + 5 LN patients was stained for EXO-1/2.

Introduction: The relationship of exostosin 1 and exostosin 2 (EXT1/EXT2) expression and outcomes in membranous lupus nephritis (MLN) was controversial.
Methods: EXT1/EXT2 was performed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 283 consecutive patients with MLN. Clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of EXT1/EXT2-positive patients were compared with EXT1/EXT2-negative patients.

Recent progress in glomerular immune complex and complement-mediated diseases have refined diagnostic categories and informed mechanistic understanding of disease development in pediatric patients. Herein, we discuss selected advances in 3 categories. First, membranous nephropathy antigens are increasingly utilized to characterize disease in pediatric patients and include phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), Semaphorin 3B (Sema3B), neural epidermal growth factor-like 1 (NELL1), and protocadherin FAT1, as well as the lupus membranous-associated antigens exostosin 1/2 (EXT1/2), neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1), and transforming growth factor beta receptor 3 (TGFBR3).

Recently, several target antigens of membranous nephropathy (MN), such as phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and exostosin 1/exostosin 2 (EXT1/2), have been discovered. A 30-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with nephrotic range proteinuria and microscopic hematuria. She was first noted to have proteinuria before pregnancy, and her proteinuria worsened in the postpartum period.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical significance of exostosin 1 (EXT1) in confirmed and suspected lupus membranous nephropathy (LMN).
Methods: EXT1 was detected in 67 renal tissues of M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)-negative and ANA-positive membranous nephropathy by immunohistochemistry, and cases were divided into confirmed LMN and suspected LMN. The clinicopathological data were compared among the above groups, as well as EXT1-positive group and EXT1-negative group.
