Glomerular macrophages in human auto- and allo-immune nephritis

Moll, Solange ; Angeletti, Andrea ; Scapozza, Leonardo ; Cavalli, Andrea ; Ghiggeri, Gian Marco ; Prunotto, Marco

In: Cells, 2021, vol. 10, no. 3, p. 19 p

Macrophages are involved in tissue homeostasis. They participate in inflammatory episodes and are involved in tissue repair. Macrophages are characterized by a phenotypic heterogeneity and a profound cell plasticity. In the kidney, and more particularly within glomeruli, macrophages are thought to play a maintenance role that is potentially critical for preserving a normal glomerular structure....

Impact of an intra-abdominal cooling device during open kidney transplantation in pigs

Longchamp, Alban ; Meier, Raphael P. H. ; Colucci, Nicola ; Balaphas, Alexandre ; Orci, Lorenzo A. ; Nastasi, Antonio ; Longchamp, Grgoire ; Moll, Solange ; Klauser, Antoine ; Pascual, Manuel ; Lazeyras, Franois ; Corpataux, Jean-Marc ; Bühler, Leo

Transplantation of kidneys from deceased donors is still associated with a high rate of postoperative renal dysfunction. During implantation into the recipient, the kidney rewarms. This second warm ischaemia time, which is not monitored, is harmful especially if prolonged. We recently developed an intra-abdominal cooling device that efficiently prevents kidney rewarming during robotic...

LPS nephropathy in mice is ameliorated by IL-2 independently of regulatory T cells activity

Bertelli, Roberta ; Di Donato, Armando ; Cioni, Michela ; Grassi, Fabio ; Ikehata, Masami ; Bonanni, Alice ; Rastaldi, Maria Pia ; Ghiggeri, Gian Marco

In: Plos one, 2014, vol. 9, no. 10, p. e111285

Immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been hypothesized to exert a protective role in animal models of spontaneous (Buffalo/Mna) and/or drug induced (Adriamycin) nephrotic syndrome. In this study, we thought to define whether Tregs can modify the outcome of LPS nephropathy utilizing IL-2 as inducer of tissue and circulating Tregs. LPS (12 mg/Kg) was given as single shot in C57BL/6,...
