摘要
增殖诱导配体(APRIL)是肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)超家族细胞因子的一个重要成员,在 B 细胞存活、增殖和免疫球蛋白类别转换中起着核心作用。最近,由于 APRIL 和相关细胞因子 B 细胞活化因子(BAFF)在上述过程中的重要作用,人们越来越关注它们在几种肾小球疾病中的作用。治疗性抑制 APRIL 代表了一种具有潜在吸引力的免疫调节方法,它可以消除自身免疫性疾病中有害的宿主免疫反应,同时保持体液免疫的其他重要功能完好无损,如记忆 B 细胞功能和疫苗接种反应,与 B 细胞耗竭策略形成鲜明对比。在这篇综述中,我们描述了APRIL在B细胞发育中的生理作用及其与肾小球疾病的相关性,并概述了研究APRIL抑制剂的新临床试验数据,重点是IgA肾病,APRIL抑制剂的临床开发正处于最后期阶段。
Targeting APRIL in the treatment of glomerular diseases
A proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) is a key member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily of cytokines and plays a central role in B-cell survival, proliferation, and Ig class switching. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the role of APRIL and the related cytokine B-cell activating factor in several glomerular diseases, because of their importance in the above processes. The therapeutic inhibition of APRIL represents a potentially attractive immunomodulatory approach that may abrogate deleterious host immune responses in autoimmune diseases while leaving other important functions of humoral immunity intact, such as memory B-cell function and responses to vaccination, in contrast to B-cell–depleting strategies. In this review, we describe the physiological roles of APRIL in B-cell development and their relevance to glomerular diseases, and outline emerging clinical trial data studying APRIL inhibition, with a focus on IgA nephropathy where the clinical development of APRIL inhibitors is in its most advanced stage.
