    • Human intravenous immune globulin (IVIg), a purified IgG fraction composed of ~60% IgG1 and obtained from the pooled plasma of thousands of donors, is clinically used for a wide range of diseases. The biological actions of IVIg are incompletely understood and have been attributed both to the polyclonal antibodies therein and also to their IgG (IgG) Fc regions. Recently, we demonstrated that multiple therapeutic human IgG1 antibodies suppress angiogenesis in a target-independent manner via FcγRI, a high-affinity receptor for IgG1. Here we show that IVIg possesses similar anti-angiogenic activity and inhibited blood vessel growth in five different mouse models of prevalent human diseases, namely, neovascular age-related macular degeneration, corneal neovascularization, colorectal cancer, fibrosarcoma and peripheral arterial ischemic disease. Angioinhibition was mediated by the Fc region of IVIg, required FcγRI and had similar potency in transgenic mice expressing human FcγRs. Finally, IVIg therapy administered to humans for the treatment of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases reduced kidney and muscle blood vessel densities. These data place IVIg, an agent approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, as a novel angioinhibitory drug in doses that are currently administered in the clinical setting. In addition, they raise the possibility of an unintended effect of IVIg on blood vessels.

  • Podocyte-specific Crb2 knockout mice develop focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
  • 2021

    • Crb2 is a cell polarity-related type I transmembrane protein expressed in the apical membrane of podocytes. Knockdown of crb2 causes glomerular permeability defects in zebrafish, and its complete knockout causes embryonic lethality in mice. There are also reports of Crb2 mutations in patients with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, although the precise mechanism is unclear. The present study demonstrated that podocyte-specific Crb2 knockout mice develop massive albuminuria and microhematuria 2-month after birth and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and tubulointerstitial fibrosis with hemosiderin-laden macrophages at 6-month of age. Transmission and scanning electron microscopic studies demonstrated injury and foot process effacement of podocytes in 6-month aged podocyte-specific Crb2 knockout mice. The number of glomerular Wt1-positive cells and the expressions of Nphs2, Podxl, and Nphs1 were reduced in podocyte-specific Crb2 knockout mice compared to negative control mice. Human podocytes lacking CRB2 had significantly decreased F-actin positive area and were more susceptible to apoptosis than their wild-type counterparts. Overall, this study's results suggest that the specific deprivation of Crb2 in podocytes induces altered actin cytoskeleton reorganization associated with dysfunction and accelerated apoptosis of podocytes that ultimately cause focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
