AbstractChemokines are instrumental in macrophage- and T cell-dependent diseases. The chemokine CCL2 promotes kidney disease in two models of immune-mediated nephritis (MRL.-Faslpr mice and the nephrotoxic serum nephritis model), but evidence suggests that multiple chemokines are involved. For identification of additional therapeutic targets for immune-mediated nephritis, chemokine ligands and receptors in CCL2-/- and wild-type (WT) MRL-Faslpr kidneys were profiled. The focus was on intrarenal chemokine ligand/receptor pairs that were highly upregulated downstream of CCL2; the chemokine CXCL10 and its cognate receptor, CXCR3, stood out as potential therapeutic targets. However, renal disease was not suppressed in CXCL10 -/- MRL-Faslpr mice, and CXCLKT-/- C57BL/6 mice were not protected from nephrotoxic serum nephritis compared with WT mice. Because CXCR3 engages with the ligand CXCL9, CXCR3 -/- , CXCL9 -/-, and CXCLICT-/- B6 mice were compared with WT mice with nephrotoxic serum nephritis. Kidney disease, measured by loss of renal function and histopathology, was suppressed in both CXCR3-/- and CXCL9-/- mice but not in CXCLKT-/- mice. With nephrotoxic serum nephritis, CXCR3-/- and CXCL9-/- mice had fewer intrarenal activated T cells and activated macrophages. Both IgG glomerular deposits and antigen-specific IgG in serum were reduced in these mice, suggesting that although CXCR3 and CXCL9 initiate nephritis through cell-mediated events, renal inflammation may be sustained by their regulation of IgG. It is concluded that specific blockade of CXCL9 or CXCR3 may be a potential therapeutic target for human immune-mediated kidney diseases. Copyright © 2008 by the American Society of Nephrology.
