Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and IL-4 expressed during mercury-induced membranous nephropathy are toxic for cultured podocytes.

In diseased rats a five-fold increase in intraglomerular macrophages was found, but we could not detect intraglomerular IFN-alpha, IFN-beta, IL-1 beta or tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by using immunohistology.

|
IFN-gamma and IL-4 were the only cytokines that exerted toxic effects, resulting in a rapidly decreased transepithelial resistance of confluent monolayers, which was closely associated with altered immunoreactivity of the tight junction protein ZO-1.

IL-4 also affected vimentin and laminin immunoreactivity.

|
IFN-gamma and IL-4 only interfered with monolayer integrity when added to the basolateral side of the GVEC, indicating specific (receptor-mediated) effects.
|

|
From our experiments we concluded that IFN-gamma subtly affected monolayer integrity at the level of the tight junctions, and that IL-4 additionally induced cell death.

We hypothesize that the toxic effects of the cytokines IFN-gamma and IL-4 as seen with cultured podocytes are necessary together with the autoantibodies, for the ultimate induction of proteinuria in mercury nephropathy in the DZB rat.

Increased glomerular interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) was detected within 24 h of induction of NCGN, and IL-1 beta and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were found from day 4.

|
By using FACS analysis and electron microscopical techniques, we found that the in vivo expression of MHC class I, II and ICAM-1 by podocytes could in vitro be simulated by IFN-gamma.

IFN-alpha weakly induced MHC class I, while IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha were ineffective.
