Study Title | Metabolomics of immunoglobulin-producing cells in IgA nephropathy |
Study Summary | IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common primary glomerulonephritis, is characterized by deposits of IgA-containing immune complexes in the kidney glomeruli, as first described by Berger and Hinglais in 1968. IgAN is a major cause of end-stage renal disease with its associated cardio-renal morbidity and mortality. Analyses of the IgA deposits revealed that the IgA is exclusively of the IgA1 subclass and that this IgA1 is aberrantly glycosylated, deficient in galactose in some O-glycans (Gd-IgA1). Patients with IgAN have elevated serum levels of Gd-IgA1 bound by anti-glycan autoantibodies in circulating immune complexes (CIC) that are fundamental in driving disease pathology in an autoimmune process. We have recently shown that elevated serum levels of Gd-IgA1 in patients with IgAN predict disease progression. Thus, understanding the mechanisms behind Gd-IgA1 production will improve future treatment options, as there is presently no disease-specific therapy. A total of 24 cell pellets (4 replicates from 6 cell lines) were analyzed by LCMS metabolomics. Immortalized immunoglobulin-producing cell lines were generated from peripheral-blood lymphocytes from patients with IgAN and healthy controls as described in Suzuki, H., Moldoveanu, Z., Hall, S., et al. IgA1-secreting cell lines from patients with IgA nephropathy produce aberrantly glycosylated IgA1. J Clin Invest. 2008, 118, 629-639. |

Collection:
Collection ID: | CO000576 |
Collection Summary: | An aliquot of cells (1 x 10^7) grown in suspension culture was transferred into a 15 mL conical tube containing 4x the culture volume of ice-cold 0.9% (w/v) NaCl. Cells were pelleted for 5 minutes at 1,500 rpm in a 4oC refrigerated centrifuge. Supernatant was removed, and the pellet was gently resuspended in 1 mL of ice-cold 0.9% (w/v) NaCl to wash and transfer into a 2 mL Lo-Bind microcentrifuge tube (Eppendorf, #022431102). Cells were pelleted for 3 minutes at 1,300 rcf in a 4oC refrigerated centrifuge. The entire supernatant was removed and pellets were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and immediately stored at -70°C. |
