الوصف: Glomerulonephritis (GN) comprises a group of immune-mediated kidney diseases affecting glomeruli and the tubulointerstitium. Glomerular crescent formation is a histopathological characteristic of severe forms of GN, also referred to as crescentic GN (cGN). Based on histological findings, cGN includes anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated GN, a severe form of ANCA-associated vasculitis, lupus nephritis associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, Goodpasture’s disease, and IgA nephropathy. The immunopathogenesis of cGN is associated with activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, which particularly accumulate in the periglomerular and tubulointerstitial space but also infiltrate glomeruli. Clinical observations and functional studies in pre-clinical animal models provide evidence for a pathogenic role of Th1 and Th17 cell-mediated immune responses in cGN. Emerging evidence further argues that CD8+ T cells have a role in disease pathology and the mechanisms of activation and function of recently identified tissue-resident CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in cGN are currently under investigation. This review summarizes the mechanisms of pathogenic T-cell responses leading to glomerular damage and renal inflammation in cGN. Advanced knowledge of the underlying immune mechanisms involved with cGN will enable the identification of novel therapeutic targets for the replacement or reduction in standard immunosuppressive therapy or the treatment of refractory disease.
