Abstract. Crescents are morphologic manifestations of severe glomerular injury. Several chemokines and their receptors have been demonstrated to be involved in animal models of crescentic glomerulonephritis (cGN) and are potential targets for therapeutic interventions. Therefore, the expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), its receptor chemokine receptor 2B (CCR2B), and CCR5 in human cGN was studied. MCP-1 and CCR2B mRNA expression was evaluated, by in situ hybridization, in serial sections of 23 renal biopsies from patients with cGN. T cells, macrophages, and CCR5-expressing cells were examined by immunohistochemical analysis. MCP-1 mRNA was expressed by cells in crescents, parietal epithelium, and tubular epithelium, as well as by infiltrating leukocytes in the tubulointerstitium. The expression of CCR2B mRNA was observed in cells in glomeruli and crescents and in infiltrating leukocytes in the tubulointerstitium. CCR2B mRNA expression could not be clearly localized to intrinsic renal cells; evidence that most of the CCR2B-expressing cells were leukocytes is provided. CD3-positive T cells formed the major part of the interstitial cell infiltrates but were rare within the glomerular tufts. CD68-positive macrophages constituted a major population of infiltrating cells in crescents and contributed significantly to the interstitial infiltrates. The number of glomerular macrophages was associated with the number of MCP-1- and CCR2B-positive glomerular cells. Expression of CCR2B was significantly correlated with interstitial CD3-positive T cells. CCR5 expression was restricted to infiltrating leukocytes and was correlated quantitatively and by localization with interstitial CD3-positive T cells and CD68-positive macrophages. These first morphologic data on the distribution of CCR2-positive cells in human cGN suggest differential effects of chemokines and their receptors on the distribution of infiltrating leukocytes in different compartments of the kidney.
