Immunology of the ageing kidney

Sato, Yuki, Yanagita, Motoko·2019·Nature Reviews Nephrology

Abstract

Immunosenescence involves a series of ageing-induced alterations in the immune system and is characterized by two opposing hallmarks: defective immune responses and increased systemic inflammation. The immune system is modulated by intrinsic and extrinsic factors and undergoes profound changes in response to the ageing process. Immune responses are therefore highly age-dependent. Emerging data show that immunosenescence underlies common mechanisms responsible for several age-related diseases and is a plastic state that can be modified and accelerated by non-heritable environmental factors and pharmacological intervention. In the kidney, resident macrophages and fibroblasts are continuously exposed to components of the external environment, and the effects of cellular reprogramming induced by local immune responses, which accumulate with age, might have a role in the increased susceptibility to kidney disease among elderly individuals. Additionally, because chronic kidney disease, especially end-stage renal disease, is often accompanied by immunosenescence, which affects these patients independently of age, and many kidney diseases are strongly age-associated, treatment approaches that target immunosenescence might be particularly clinically relevant.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Older individuals become more susceptible to acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease.

    “Moreover, older individuals become more susceptible to acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD).123,147”
  • Elderly individuals exhibit immunological phenotypes characterized by reduced numbers of naive lymphocytes, increased pro-inflammatory T cells, and diminished phagocytic activity in monocyte lineage cells, similar to CKD patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
