A recent report describes how IL-6 can alter the integrity of the glomerular permeability barrier and can derange actin cytoskeleton of in vitro treated podocytes, which constitutively express IL-6 receptor, suggesting a potential pathogenic role also for this cytokine In parallel with the production of specific cytokines, activated B cells could also directly contribute to T-cell stimulation by expressing surface activating molecules.

SSNS is a heterogeneous disorder and the different forms of the disease are likely to be mediated by a complex interplay between the environment, the glomerular permeability barrier and the immune system 5. Despite the lack of a monogenic cause of the disease, genetic variants predisposing to develop SSNS following environmental triggers are emerging, as recently reviewed Among all the identified SSNS-associated genetic variants, the strongest association was found in the HLA region, as identified by exome array and transethnic genome-wide association studies in large pediatric cohorts 43 — 46 , supporting the role of an immune dysregulation in the antigen presentation machinery in SSNS forms These observations suggest that B-cell depleting agents may interfere in T cell-B cell cooperation during the course of the disease Additional studies should be performed to investigate the B-cell specific expression of activated molecules and their direct interaction with T cells in INS patients.

In , the casual observation of a sustained NS remission in a boy treated with rituximab for his recurrent idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura proves for the first time the pathogenic role of B cells in INS 8.

The successful use of B-cell depleting anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies in maintaining long-lasting remission and allowing tapering of concomitant immunosuppressive treatment in both pediatric and adults INS patients has subsequently supported the hypothesis of a key role of B lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of INS 3 , 9 , Interestingly, other immunosuppressive drugs frequently used for the treatment of INS, such as mycophenolate mofetil and calcineurin inhibitors, can target T cells but are also effective in inhibiting B-cell proliferation and immunoglobulin production, and can contribute to maintain remission following anti-CD20 treatment 5 , 15 , 48 , The amount of circulating B cells has been largely investigated in children with INS.

Table 1 summarizes the most relevant studies describing the B-cell phenotype in INS patients. However, several subsequent studies reported conflicting results 51 — Some of the observed discrepancies could be related to the immunosuppression received by most of the described patients before sampling, since the number of total B cells is determined by the proportion of different B-cell subsets that have differential sensitivities to immunosuppressive agents such as steroids, mycophenolate mofetil and calcineurin inhibitors Prednisone treatment, for example, can exert long-lasting effects on different B-cell subsets also several months after interruption, as recently reported in children with SSNS To avoid these confounding effects, the entire circulating B-cell repertoire has been characterized in a large cohort of SSNS pediatric patients at onset of disease before starting any immunosuppressive drug by Colucci et al.

Increased levels of transitional and memory B cells, which together contributed to an increased amount of total B cells, were found. Altogether, these results suggest that, among all the B-cell subpopulations, memory B cells play a key role in the pathogenesis of pediatric SSNS.

Accordingly, the reappearance of memory B cells is highly effective in predicting relapse following anti-CD20 treatment in SSNS children 60 — Off therapy, patients without treatment for at least 6 months; untreated, patients at onset of the disease before starting prednisone treatment; PDN, prednisone; MMF, mycophenolate mofetil; CNIs, calcineurin inhibitors.

In contrast to children, data regarding the distribution of circulating B cells in adult patients with INS at disease onset or during B-cell reconstitution after administration of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies are scarce. To our knowledge, only one study by Oniszczuk et al. Of note, plasmablasts were also significantly increased in patients with biopsy-proven membranous nephropathy an antibody-mediated glomerular disease characterized by an intense proteinuria, similar to that observed in MCD patients In this study, plasmablast levels during relapse were correlated with both lower albumin levels and higher proteinuria levels and were significantly associated to higher IgM levels and decreased IgG levels.

Interestingly, the expansion of the plasmablast population may be partially explained by an increase of BAFF production, providing new evidence for the therapeutic use of anti-BAFF therapy Of note, evaluation of plasmablast levels in children yielded conflicting results. Yang et al. However, this increase in circulating plasmablasts was not confirmed in a subsequent study including only children with SSNS Altogether, these data suggest that alterations of the B-cell homeostasis observed in pediatric and adult INS patients are quite dissimilar, possibly due to the different maturity of the immune system between adults and children This could also in part explain the distinct timing of response to steroid treatment in pediatric and adult patients with INS 2 , 4 , since prednisone differentially targets each B-cell subset Additional studies are needed to define the key pathogenic B-cell subset s in INS.

The main objective of this study will be to demonstrate that the use of rituximab from the initial episode of MCD in adults may significantly reduce the risk of subsequent relapses and limit prolonged exposure to steroids without serious adverse events. Enrolled patients will be rigorously classified as steroid-sensitive, steroid-dependent or steroid-resistant INS based on their response to a standardized induction therapy with prednisone.

In addition, this prospective trial will include an extensive B and T lymphocyte subpopulation monitoring, in order to investigate the potential close relationship between lymphocyte subpopulations and treatment response at different crucial timepoints and in different forms of the disease. The obtained results will help to improve our understanding of the role of lymphocyte subsets in the pathogenesis of INS in adulthood. The recent successful use of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies as supportive treatment of some forms of INS in children and adult patients provide additional evidence of a potential key role of B lymphocytes in the pathophysiological processes involved in this quite mysterious glomerular disease.

Further studies are needed to elucidate the precise mechanisms by which and which B lymphocytes subpopulation could target the glomerular filtration barrier.

This severe complication represents an additional risk factor for cardiovascular disease and may contribute to the increased mortality observed in acromegaly 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , Obstructive SAS is the prevailing form in acromegaly, while the central and mixed types are less frequent.

Craniofacial deformations, hypertrophy of the pharyngeal soft tissue, macroglossia and mucosal thickening of the upper airways and bronchi are the main causes of the obstructive form. Conversely, in the study of Grunstein et al. Risk factors for SAS were ageing 3 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , male gender 4 , 18 , body mass index BMI 16 , 17 , disease duration 18 , neck circumference 3 , 14 and tongue size 16 , 19 , So far conflicting results have been reported regarding the reversibility of SAS after surgery or medical therapy.

Rosenow et al. Some studies showed significant improvement or cure of SAS after adenomectomy 18 , 21 , 22 , 23 , while others found persisting nocturnal breathing abnormalities 24 or sleep apnoea in patients previously treated with pituitary surgery 4 or only slight to moderate improvement despite normalized or decreased hormonal levels 25 probably due to the irreversible changes of the craniofacial region and upper respiratory tract 5 , 15 , 19 , Finally, there are many reports of relief of SAS during treatment with s.

The aim of this study was to assess the presence of SAS in a cohort of acromegalic patients which includes a subgroup with active disease and a subgroup in clinical and biochemical remission and to evaluate which clinical and biochemical parameters may independently predict the risk of SAS in acromegaly.

This is a cross-sectional and longitudinal study carried out in a cohort of acromegalic patients recruited from a University Center between and Thirty-six patients 18 women, 18 men, mean s. Eighteen out of 36 patients mean s. GH IGF1 The estimated median duration of disease activity from the onset of the symptoms to the time of polysomnography was 4. The mean s.

BMI was Ten patients had arterial hypertension, treated with antihypertensive drugs. Seven patients had impaired glucose tolerance IGT , whereas three had diabetes mellitus. Five patients had one or more pituitary hormone insufficiency, on adequate substitutive therapy and stable control Tables 1 and 2. Eighteen out of 36 patients nine women and nine men, mean s. Six patients had arterial hypertension, treated with antihypertensive drugs.

Three patients had IGT, whereas two had diabetes mellitus. Nine patients had one or more pituitary hormone insufficiency, on adequate substitutive therapy and stable control Tables 3 and 4. Out of the ten patients with active acromegaly and SAS, six male patients mean s.

The estimated median duration of disease from the onset of the symptoms to the time of polysomnography was 3 years range 2—12 years. The remission was obtained by surgery alone in two patients, plus radiotherapy in one, plus somatostatin analogue in two, with somatostatin analogues alone in one.

The median remission time was 3. Two patients had arterial hypertension, treated with antihypertensive drugs, two patients had IGT, one diabetes mellitus and two pituitary insufficiency on adequate substitutive therapy Table 5. Apnoeas were further classified in obstructive apnoeas OA : cessation of airflow in the presence of respiratory effort and CAs: cessation of airflow with the absence of respiratory effort.

This procedure was performed at the time of polysomnography. The results are expressed as means s. Two-sample Student's t -test was used to verify statistical differences between means. Linear univariate and stepwise multiple regression analysis and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between the variables considered.

Five patients had severe SAS mean s. AHI AHI 8. The severe and moderate form of SAS was more frequent in the active group respectively 3 and 5 when compared with the controlled group 2 and 1 , while the mild form was prevalent in the inactive group 4 vs 2; Fig. Citation: European Journal of Endocrinology , 5; The number of OA was significantly higher in the group with active acromegaly than the controlled group mean s. Also AHI mean values were higher in subjects with active disease, even though the difference was not statistically significant mean s.

SAS occurred significantly more frequently in male than in female patients 12 men, Among the group of controlled acromegaly no difference was found regarding the modality of treatment between the 11 patients without SAS five only surgery, one surgery with radiotherapy, one surgery plus somatostatin analogues, four surgery plus radiotherapy and somatostatin analogues and the seven patients with SAS one only surgery, two surgery plus radiotherapy, two surgery plus somatostatin analogues, one surgery plus radiotherapy and somatostatin analogues, one only somatostatin analogues.

Moreover, diabetes and IGT were more prevalent in the group with severe SAS 4 out of 5 patients when compared with both groups with mild and moderate SAS 3 out of 6 patients. Seventeen out of 31 patients had left ventricular hypertrophy mean s. LVMi No statistical difference between patients with or without SAS was observed in echocardiographic parameters.

In all but one, improvement of the AHI was observed, but none recovered mean s. At the end of the study, two patients showed a change in the stage severity of SAS decreasing from moderate to mild. The remaining four patients of this group did not repeat polysomnographic study because either disease was still active nos 1 and 18 or they refused the examination no. Pelttari et al.
