Our study retrospectively investigated the expression of forkhead/winged helix
transcription factor (Foxp3) in renal tissue and clinical features of patients
with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN). A total of
58 patients with HBV-GN were assigned to group A; 45 serum and renal tissue
HBsAg-negative patients with nephritis were group B; 24 serum HBsAg-positive and
renal tissue HBsAg-negative patients with slightly increased serum creatinine
without nephritis were group C. Clinical manifestations, laboratory indices and
renal biopsies were recorded. Expression of Foxp3, CD4 and CD25 in renal tissue
was detected by immunohistochemistry. In group A, 74.1% were serum
HBeAg-negative, with serum complement C3 level of 0.99±0.27 g/l, and deposition
rates of renal complement C3 and C1q in renal tissue of 34.9 and 16.3%
respectively; 25.9% were serum HBeAg-positive, with serum complement C3 level of
0.19±0.17 g/l, and deposition rates of renal complement C3 and C1q in renal
tissue of 80 and 46.7%, respectively. A significant difference was found in C3
and C1q between HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive group (P<0.05). Increased
urinary protein and decreased serum albumin were found in patients in group A
with moderate levels of HBV DNA compared with patients with low levels of HBV DNA
in the same group over 24 h (P<0.05). The numbers of Foxp3(+) lymphocytes, CD4(+)
T cells and CD25(+) T cells in the tubulointerstitium of patients in groups A and
B were 3.41±1.16 vs. 3.52±1.27, 2.78±0.15 vs. 3.12±0.17 and 2.90±0.20 vs.
3.09±0.18, respectively. The clinical manifestation of HBV-GN is nephrotic
syndrome, and HBV DNA is correlated with urinary protein and serum albumin
levels. Activation of C3 and C1q may be related to the pathogenesis of HBV-GN in
serum HBeAg-positive patients. Downregulation of Foxp3 expression in regulatory T
cells is related to the development and progression of HBV-GN.
