Abstract:Objective To investigate the significance and distribution of renal infiltrating cells including monocytes (CD68+ cell),proliferative nuclear antigen positive cells (PCNA+ cell),CD4+ and CD8+ cells in diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis (DCGN). Methods 56 patients with DCGN were studied,including 10 case of anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) -type I DCGN,26 complex immune-type Ⅱ DCGN,and 20 case of pauci-immune-type Ⅲ DCGN.The glomerular and interstitial infiltrates of CD68+ and PCNA+ cells, and the interstitial infiltrates of CD4+ and CD8+ cells were detected by four-layer PAP method.Results There was a significant increase of renal infiltrating CD68+,PCNA+,CD4+ and CD8+ cells in patients with DCGN compared with that in donors.In patients with type I DCGN,there was a higher of renal infiltrating CD68+ and PCNA+ cells than that in patients with type Ⅱ and Ⅲ DCGN.The glomerular infiltrates of CD68+ and PCNA+ cells correlated with the interstitial infiltrates of CD4+ cells in type Ⅰ or Ⅲ DCGN patients.In lupus DCGN,the numbers of renal infiltrating CD68+ cells PCNA+ cells were similar to vasculitis or type Ⅲ DCGN patients.Conclusions These findings demonstrate that (1) the renal infiltrates of CD68+ and PCNA+ cells play an important role in patients with DCGN.(2)the renal infiltrates of CD4+ cells correlated with the infiltrates of CD68+ and PCNA+ cells may be an active marker of DCGN.(3) the cell-mediated immune pathogenesis may contribute to crescentic formation in lupus DCGN patients.
