Final report

  
Results in Hungarian
Az aHUS a komplement alternatív út regulációs zavarának következményeként alakul ki, hátterében bizonyos komplement gének mutációit, valamint H-faktor elleni autoantitesteket írtak le. A komplement-mediált vesebetegségek közé tartoznak továbbá a C3-glomerulopátiák (C3GP) is, amelyeket a C3 glomerulusokban való lerakódása jellemez. Közös jellemzője e két betegségcsoportnak, hogy a betegek jelentős hányadában nem tárható fel mutáció az eddig leírt génekben, ezért jelen vizsgálatunkban további, eddig ismeretlen patogenetikai tényezőket (mutációkat, autoantitesteket) kerestünk. Pályázatunk során a bevont aHUS-betegek 16.5%-ában, és a C3GP-betegek 13.2%-ában azonosítottunk feltehetően patogén CFHR5 mutációt, továbbá C3GP-betegekben az alábbi patogén autoantitesteket detektáltuk: C3-nefritikus faktor (22.7%), C4-nefritikus faktor (14.3%), anti-C1q (12.6%), anti-B-faktor (6%), anti-H-faktor (5.1%), anti-C3 (4.3%). Az azonosított CFHR5 mutációk lehetséges hatását in silico módszerekkel prediktáltuk, funkcionális jellemzésük érdekében kifejlesztettünk egy-egy ELISA módszert a CFHR5 szint mérésére, illetve a CFHR5 variánsok C3b-, iC3b-kötő képességének a meghatározására, majd a vizsgálatba bevont betegek mintáiban vizsgáltuk ezen paramétereket. Kollaborációs partnereink segítségével az azonosított CFHR5 G278S és R356H variánsokat rekombinánsan expresszáltuk, melyek funkcionális tesztjeink alapján a vad-típusú fehérjéhez képest eltérő ligand-kötő képességgel rendelkeznek.
Results in English
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome is caused by the dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway; low-penetration mutations and autoantibodies against factor H were described in its backround. C3 glomerulopathies also belong to the group of complement-mediated renal disorders but these are characterized by C3 deposition in the glomeruli and the altered regulation of the alternative pathway. Surprisingly, a mutation of disease-associated complement genes cannot be detected in a large percent of aHUS patients, and in an even higher proportion of those with C3 glomerulopathies. Thus, our aim was to explore novel pathogenetic factors (mutations, autoantibodies) in the patients. Our research identified a probably pathogenic CFHR5 mutation in 16.5% of aHUS and in 13.2% of C3GP patients. Furthermore, C3GP patients carried several autoantibodies: C3-nephritic factor (22.7%), C4-nephritic factor (14.3%), anti-C1q (12.6%), anti-factor B (6%), anti-factor H (5.1%), anti-C3 (4.3%). The possible functional effect of the identified CFHR5 mutations was predicted using in silico tools, and we developed ELISA methods in order to measure the plasma level of CFHR5 and to analyze the C3b- or iC3b-binding ability of the different CFHR5 variants. The CFHR5 G278S and R356H variants were recombinantly expressed by our collaborating partners and we showed that these mutants are characterized by an altered ligand-binding ability, compared to the wild-type CFHR5 protein.
