IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by aberrant O-glycosylation in the hinge region of IgA1. The early step in O-glycan formation is the attachment of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to the serine/threonine of the hinge region; the process is catalysed by UDP-N-acetyl-α-d-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 (GALNT2). In our previous work, the microarray analysis on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) identified an upregulated miRNA called let-7b.

Abstract

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by aberrant O-glycosylation in the hinge region of IgA1. The early step in O-glycan formation is the attachment of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to the serine/threonine of the hinge region; the process is catalysed by UDP-N-acetyl-α-d-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 (GALNT2). In our previous work, the microarray analysis on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) identified an upregulated miRNA called let-7b.
