The results suggest that urinary CD80 is unreliable as a differential diagnostic marker between MCD in relapse and FSGS or inherited kidney diseases, and increased urinaryCD80 excretion was present in all patients with active kidney disease.
Abstract
CD80, which regulates T cell activation, may provide a differential diagnostic marker between minimal change disease (MCD) and other renal diseases, including focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS). However, recent reports show contrasting results. Therefore, we evaluated the utility of urinary CD80 as a diagnostic biomarker. We collected 65 urine samples from 55 patients with MCD (n = 31), FSGS (n = 4), inherited nephrotic syndrome (n = 4), Alport syndrome (n = 5) and other glomerular diseases (n = 11), and control samples (n = 30). We measured urinary CD80 levels by ELISA. Urinary CD80 (ng/gCr) (median, interquartile range) levels were significantly higher in patients with MCD in relapse (91.5, 31.1–356.0), FSGS (376.2, 62.7–1916.0), and inherited nephrotic syndrome (220.1, 62.9–865.3), than in patients with MCD in remission (29.5, 21.7–52.8) (p < 0.05). Elevation of urinary CD80 was observed, even in patients with inherited nephrotic syndrome unrelated to T cell activation. Additionally, urinary CD80 was positively correlated with urinary protein levels. Our results suggest that urinary CD80 is unreliable as a differential diagnostic marker between MCD in relapse and FSGS or inherited kidney diseases. Increased urinary CD80 excretion was present in all patients with active kidney disease.

TL;DR: In proteinuric patients, CD80 concentration appears to be independent of proteinuria levels, suggesting that it is unrelated to nonspecific passage across the glomeruli.

Glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes can express CD80 in patients with minimal change disease during relapse

TL;DR: Glomerular endothelial cells and podocytes can express CD80 in patients with MCD during relapse and in the LPS mouse model of podocyte injury, in a similar pattern to that seen in MCD patients.

T-cell regulation by CD28 and CTLA-4

TL;DR: Activation of T lymphocytes is thought to require at least two signals, one delivered by the T-cell receptor complex after antigen recognition, and one provided on engagement of co-stimulatory receptors, such as CD28.

TL;DR: The cause of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome remains unknown, but evidence suggests it may be a primary T-cell disorder that leads to glomerular podocyte dysfunction.
