A Study of Apoptosis in Lupus Nephritis patients to assess glomerular and tubular damage. |
Official scientific title |
A Study of Apoptosis in Lupus Nephritis patients through a study of Bcl-2 vs PDL-1 to assess glomerular and tubular damage. |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
In lupus glomerulonephritis, apoptotic cell death affects mesangial cells, glomerular-tuft endothelial cells, leucocytes, and macrophages. Two important molecules are involved in this process: Bcl-2 and PDL-1, which promote cell survival and death, respectively.
What does this study add?
Theory We hypothesized that the expression of apoptotic proteins of the intrinsic pathway might have a role in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis and thus it might be related to the class of the disease and its activity. In our study, we focused on the ratio between the immunohistochemical expression of PDL1 and bcl2 proteins and the correlation between the PDL1 to bcl2 ratio and the active and chronic glomerular lesions in human LN.
