Occurrence and role of Tph cells in various renal diseases.

Mol Med

October 2024

Department of Nephrology and Institute of Nephrology, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, Sichuan Clinical Research Centre for Kidney Diseases, Chengdu, China.

Article Synopsis
  • A new type of T cell, called peripheral helper T (Tph) cells, has been linked to autoimmune diseases and has a unique role in regulating kidney-related conditions.
  • Tph cells secrete important immune molecules like interleukin-21 (IL-21) and interferon (IFN) and can gather in large groups within inflamed tissues.
  • Compared to T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, Tph cells express higher levels of specific proteins (like PD-1 and MHC-II) and have distinct characteristics that enhance B cell responses in inflamed areas of the body.

Metabolic disorders, including obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome, are characterized by insulin resistance, abnormalities in circulating cholesterol and lipid profiles, and hypertension. The most common pathophysiologies of metabolic disorders are glucose/lipid metabolism dysregulation, insulin resistance, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress. Although several agents have been approved for the treatment of metabolic disorders, there is still a strong demand for more efficacious drugs with less side effects.

M133S mutation possibly involve in the ER stress and mitophagy pathway in maintenance hemodialysis patients with occult hepatitis B infection.

Sci Rep

June 2024

Department of Nephrology and Institute of Nephrology, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, School of Medicine, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Sichuan Clinical Research Centre for Kidney Diseases, Chengdu, 610072, Sichuan, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) involves the presence of HBV DNA without detectable HBsAg, posing risks for serious liver conditions like cirrhosis and cancer, although its mechanisms remain unclear.
  • The study focused on the M133S mutation in the HBV S gene, found in hemodialysis patients, examining how amino acid changes affect S protein production and secretion via various scientific methods.
  • Results indicated that the M133S mutation leads to a misfolded S protein that aggregates in the endoplasmic reticulum, impacting gene expression related to protein processing and associated with increased chaperone proteins and co-localization markers.
