Medium from mesangial cells incubated with aggregated IgA1 from IgA nephropathy patients reduces podocyte adhesion through activation of the renin angiotensin system

BACKGROUND: Podocyte injury plays an important role in glomerulosclerosis in IgA nephropathy (IgAN), and detachment from the glomerular basement membrane is the main cause of podocyte damage. In a previous study we found that medium from mesangial cells incubated with aggregated IgA1 (aIgA1) i...
