Resumen: | Lupus nephritis (LN) is a renal disease presented in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and is divided into 6 classes based on histopathological criteria set by the International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society. Major mouse models of SLE usually develop class III/IV LN, which are characterized by subendothelial deposits and endocapillary hypercellularity. We examined the pathological features of kidneys in a mouse model of SLE induced by a tolllike receptor 7 agonist, imiquimod (IMQ). In experiment 1, eleven-female FVB/NJcl wild type mice were treated with IMQ on their ear skin 3 times per week. Plasma anti-dsDNA increased from 2 weeks after first IMQ treatment and 2 mice exhibited nephrotic syndrome from 6 weeks. Histopathology revealed eosinophilic mesangial deposits in all mice from 4 weeks. Subsequently, podocytes showed enlargement with vacuolation and their numbers decreased in 6 mice. There was no infiltration of inflammatory cells, subendothelial deposits in glomeruli, or subepithelial deposits in glomeruli. In experiment 2 using 10 mice at 8 weeks after IMQ treatment, the mesangial deposits were observed in all mice and confirmed to be IgG, IgA, IgM, C1q and C3 by immunofluorescence, which corresponds to class II LN. Foot process effacement was detected by transmission electron microscopy and was considered to lead to proteinuria. These mice exhibited pathological characteristics corresponding to class II LN and podocyte injury, which make it distinct from other mouse models of SLE |
