These cells exacerbate the organ damage that was mainly associated to autoantibodies until now. The study, published in&nbsp;<em>Nature<\/em>, challenges traditional views and could influence future antibody therapies for lupus. Lupus affects around five million people worldwide, mainly young women, and can lead to severe kidney damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research team led by Antigoni Triantafyllopoulou and Andreas Diefenbach, both Charit\u00e9-liaison group leaders at the DRFZ, and Masatoshi Kanda from the MDC, in cooperation with Mir-Farzin Mashreghi from the DRFZ, examined the entire kidney cell repertoire &nbsp;using single-cell RNA sequencing. They analysed almost 100,000 kidney and immune cells to identify the circuits controlled by the ILCs in order to understand the mechanism of lupus nephritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until now, it was assumed that autoantibodies alone cause kidney inflammation. However, this study has shown that specialised ILC with the receptor NKp46, play a key role in triggering kidney damage. These cells produce the protein GM-CSF, which leads to the proliferation of macrophages that cause tissue damage. By blocking NKp46, the kidney damage was significantly reduced, even though the amount of autoantibodies did not change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These findings could lead to the development of new antibody therapies to prevent severe kidney damage in lupus patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.charite.de\/service\/pressemitteilung\/artikel\/detail\/ueberraschender_ausloeser_fuer_nierenschaeden_bei_lupus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Link to Charit\u00e9 press lelease<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n  <section     class=\"section grid-heads alignwide\">\n    <div class=\"container container--center\">\n      \n              <div class=\"grid-heads__items grid grid--4\">\n          \n<article\n  id=\"post-4003\" class=\"teaser-head launimation slideBottom  post-4003 head type-head status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry department-pa-1-cell-and-tissue-rheumatology liaison-charite-rheumatology-and-clinical-immunology programme-area-tax-programme-area-1 working-group-function-group-leader working-group-tax-macrophage-biology-and-innate-cellular-networks-in-chronic-inflammatory-diseases\">\n  <div class=\"teaser-head__image\">\n          <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, 520px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Triantafyllopoulou_Antigoni-150x100.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Triantafyllopoulou_Antigoni-1024x682.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Triantafyllopoulou_Antigoni-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Triantafyllopoulou_Antigoni-1600x1066.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Triantafyllopoulou_Antigoni-1366x910.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Triantafyllopoulou_Antigoni-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Triantafyllopoulou_Antigoni-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drfz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Triantafyllopoulou_Antigoni-550x367.jpg 550w\" class=\"image image--landscape\" alt=\"\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"682\">      <\/div>\n  <div class=\"teaser-head__header\">\n    <!--    -->    <!--      -->    <!--    -->    <h2 class=\"h6 teaser-head__title launimation slideBottom\">Prof. Antigoni Triantafyllopoulou, MD<\/h2>\n          <div class=\"teaser-head__role\">\n                          <p class=\"text-label programme_area_function programme_area department\">\n            Programme Area 1, PA 1 \u2013 Cell and Tissue Rheumatology          <\/p>\n                          <p class=\"text-label working_group_function working_group\">\n            Group leader: Macrophage biology and innate cellular networks in chronic inflammatory diseases          <\/p>\n                          <p\n            class=\"text-label liaison\">Liaison working group with Charit\u00e9 &#8211;
