Abatacept (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated antigen 4–immunoglobulin fusion protein [CTLA-4–Ig]) is a costimulatory inhibitor that targets B7-1 (CD80). The present report describes five patients who had focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (four with recurrent FSGS after transplantation and one with primary FSGS) and proteinuria with B7-1 immunostaining of podocytes in kidney-biopsy specimens. Abatacept induced partial or complete remissions of proteinuria in these patients, suggesting that B7-1 may be a useful biomarker for the treatment of some glomerulopathies. Our data indicate that abatacept may stabilize 1-integrin activation in podocytes and reduce proteinuria in patients with B7-1–positive glomerular disease.
阿巴西普(细胞毒性 T 淋巴细胞相关抗原 4-免疫球蛋白融合蛋白 [CTLA-4-Ig])是一种靶向 B7-1(CD80)的共刺激抑制剂。本报告描述了 5 例患有局灶节段性肾小球硬化症(FSGS)(4 例为移植后复发性 FSGS,1 例为原发性 FSGS)和蛋白尿的患者,其肾脏活检标本中足细胞有 B7-1 免疫染色。阿巴西普诱导这些患者的蛋白尿部分或完全缓解,提示 B7-1 可能是治疗某些肾小球疾病的有用生物标志物。我们的数据表明,阿巴西普可能稳定足细胞中 1 整合素的激活,并减少 B7-1 阳性肾小球疾病患者的蛋白尿。
