BACKGROUND IgA nephropathy is induced by the IgA-immune complex (IC). IgA nephropathy associated with heavy proteinuria is considered a more progressive form of the disease. To elucidate the mechanism by which the latter condition occurs, we investigated the effect of proteinuria on the glomerular deposition of IgA-IC. METHODS BALB/c female mice that had been made proteinuric by adriamycin or bovine serum albumin (BSA) were injected with TEPC-15 hybridoma-derived IgA anti-phosphorylcholine (PC) and individual specific antigens. The 6-hour clearance kinetics of IgA were measured, and the accumulation of IgA deposits and the third complement component (C3) in the glomerulus were analyzed. RESULTS The clearance kinetics of 125I-IgA injected together with a specific antigen, PC-conjugated BSA (BSA-PC), showed only a minimal distinction between the experimental (proteinuric) and the control (nonproteinuric) groups of mice. However, analysis of renal tissue by immunofluorescence and light microscopic autoradiography revealed markedly enhanced mesangial IgA-IC deposition in the proteinuric mice receiving IgA and one of three specific antigens, BSA-PC, PC-conjugated cytochrome-c, and a pneumococcal C-polysaccharide. Immunofluorescence also showed augmented mesangial C3 deposition in proteinuric mice that received IgA/PC-conjugated cytochrome-c or IgA/pneumococcal C-polysaccharide. In addition, adriamycin or BSA per se did not influence glomerular IgA-IC localization. CONCLUSIONS Glomerular localization of nephritogenic IgA-IC was comparably enhanced in mice with proteinuria induced by various methods. Thus, a vicious cycle for the progression of IgA nephropathy might ensue in proteinuric states.

D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.
