INTRODUCTION: Podocyte infolding glomerulopathy (PIG) is a newly recognized rare glomerular injury. The clinical significance and mechanism of this injury pattern remains unclear.
METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of renal biopsies from January 2018 to December 2020 in Kingmed Diagnostics. The renal biopsy features and clinical data were reviewed. Laser scanning microdissection and mass spectrometry (LMD/MS) was conducted to analyze the potential mechanism.
RESULTS: A total of 116 (0.092%) out of 126,086 biopsies were diagnosed as PIG during the period. Of these, 89 (76.7%) cases were found to have PIG coexisting with immune-complex associated glomerulonephritis (IC-PIG) whereas 27 (23.3%) were identified as isolated PIG without immunoglobulin or complement deposition. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), especially with membranous lupus nephritis (LN), was diagnosed in most (70.8%) IC-PIG cases. Of the isolated PIG cases, 51.9% had no known underlying conditions; however, a relatively high positive rate (42.1%) of antinuclear antibody (ANA) was detected. Nearly half (47.5%) of the patients presented with nephrotic syndrome (NS). PIG grade was associated with proteinuria in isolated PIG (P = 0.035). LMD/MS revealed dysregulated cytoskeletal protein α-actinin4 (ACTN4) and tubulin beta-4 chain in PIG compared with normal donor kidney and minimal change disease (MCD). The displacement of ACTN4 into the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) was confirmed by the confocal microscope.
CONCLUSION: PIG is a rare podocyte injury that can exist alone without underlying disease or be concurrent with various diseases, especially SLE. Podocyte cytoskeletal protein ACTN4 and tubulin beta-4 chain were dysregulated, which may be involved in the mechanism of PIG.
