Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a primary glomerular disease commonly causing adult nephrotic syndrome. Characterized by thickened capillary walls due to immune complex deposition, MN autoimmune disorder. Its pathogenesis involves deposit formation, complement activation, and heightened risk of renal failure. Central system dysfunction, particularly the dysregulation B T cell responses. cells contribute injury through production autoantibodies, IgG targeting phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) on podocytes, while modulate responses that influence progression. Metabolic reprogramming alters lymphocyte survival, differentiation, proliferation, function, potentially triggering processes. Although link between metabolism remains underexplored, this review highlights recent advances in understanding its role MN. These insights may provide novel biomarkers therapeutic strategies for treatment. Immune membranous drives Dysregulated B/T metabolic trigger autoimmunity, offering potential therapies

Abstract Clinical nutritional support is recognized by Klinefner's Surgery as one of the four pivotal advancements in surgical practice during 20th century. Surgeons regard clinical nutrition a “life‐saving” discipline, preserving lives numerous critically ill patients and facilitating success many procedures. Parenteral (PN) serves crucial component therapy, while range complications associated with total parenteral (TPN) can significantly undermine efficacy patient treatment. Impaired intestinal homeostasis strongly occurrence progression TPN‐related infections, yet underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, RNA sequencing single‐cell (scRNA‐Seq) revealed that reduced secretion interleukin‐22 (IL‐22) Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) significant factor contributing to onset infections. Additionally, through 16S ribosomal (16S rRNA) gene gut microbiota from chronic failure metagenomic analysis mice, we observed TPN abundance Lactobacillus murinus ( L. ), supplementation could promote IL‐22 ILC3s. Mechanistically, upregulates indole‐3‐carboxylic acid, which activates nuclear receptor Rorγt stimulate This pathway strengthens barrier integrity reduces infection susceptibility.

Membranous nephropathy (MN), a leading cause of adult nephrotic syndrome and renal failure, has been linked to gut microbiota (GM) their metabolites. However, direct causal relationships therapeutic implications remain unclear. We utilized comprehensive GWAS dataset that encompasses GM, metabolites, MN through two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses, bidirectional MR evaluations, detailed sensitivity tests. identified strong associations between nine specific types including class Clostridia (OR = 1.816, 95%CI: 1.021-3.236, p .042), Melainabacteria 0.661, 0.439-0.996, .048), order Gastranaerophilales 0.689, 0.480-0.996, .044), genus Alistipes 0.480, 0.223-0.998, .049), Butyricicoccus 0.464, 0.216-0.995, Butyrivibrio 0.799, 0.639-0.998, Ruminococcaceae UCG003 0.563, 0.362-0.877, .011), Streptococcus 0.619, 0.393-0.973, .038), Oscillibacter 1.90, 1.06-3.40, .031).
