Abstract

Crescent formation in glomerulonephritis (GN) is a manifestation of severe glomerular injury that usually results in a poor clinical outcome. In humans, crescentic GN is frequently associated with evidence of either systemic or organ-specific autoimmunity. T cells play a major role in initiation of adaptive immune responses that lead to crescentic injury. In experimental models of crescentic GN, Th1 predominant immune responses have been shown to promote crescent formation. Perturbation of regulatory T cell function may contribute to development of autoimmune crescentic GN. The presence of T cells and macrophages in crescentic glomeruli, frequently in the absence of humoral mediators of immunity, suggest a dominant effector role for T cells in crescentic GN. The association of cellular immune mediators with local fibrin deposition implicates cell-mediated "delayed-type hypersensitivity-like" mechanisms in crescent formation. Intrinsic renal cells also contribute to T cell-driven effector mechanisms in crescentic GN, via expression of MHC II and co-stimulatory molecules and by production of chemokines and cytokines that amplify leukocyte recruitment and injury.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
