Compartment | Transcript | Toronto Cohort | Longitudinal Cohort | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Complete Responders | Non-Responders | |||
Glomerular | FN1 | Positive correlation with the degree of endocapillary hypercellularity | Decreased with response | Increased |
LGALS3 | Positive correlation with degree of crescent formation | Trend towards decrease with response | No change | |
SPP1 | Positive correlation with the degree of endocapillary hypercellularity | Decreased with response | No change | |
Tubulointerstitial | IL1RL1 | Decreased level in patients with interstitial fibrosis | No Change | No change |
TLR4 | Decreased level in patients with interstitial fibrosis | No Change | No Change |
The abundance of glomerular FN1, LGALS3, and SPP1 RNA was concordant in both cohorts and reflective of activity. All five genes were interferon-regulated.
