==Pathogenesis==
==Pathogenesis==
Goodpasture syndrome is an autoimmune condition resulting from antibodies against the glomerular and alveolar basement membrane. It is thought Goodpasture syndrome is the result of type II hypersensitivity reaction which leads to generation of antibodies which bind antigenic proteins of glomerular and alveolar basement membrane. The antigen-antibody complex leads to activation of complement pathway and tissue destruction.

*The basement membrane (in general) is primarily made up of [[type IV collagen]].  
*The type IV collagen is made of three alpha subunits of collagen, which form a triple helix.
*The [[Type-IV collagen|type IV collagen]] is made of three alpha subunits of [[collagen]], which form a triple [[helix]].
*The alpha subunits of type IV are of six different types and named as alpha1 to alpha6.
*The alpha subunits of [[Type-IV collagen|type IV collagen]] can be of six different types and named as alpha1 to alpha6.
*Each alpha subunit is further bound to three components namely:
*Each alpha subunit is further bound to three components namely:
**The amino terminus of alpha chain is bound by a short 7S domain.
**The [[amino terminus]] of alpha chain is bound by a short 7S domain.
**The carboxyl terminus is bound by triple helix of alpha chains
**The [[carboxyl terminus]] is bound by a triple helix of alpha chains.
**Non-collagenous component
**Lastly the alpha chain has a non-[[collagenous]] component.
*The autoantibodies in Goodpasture syndrome is directed against the non-collagenous components of the alpha3 chain of type IV collagen.
*The [[autoantibodies]] in Goodpasture syndrome are directed against the non-[[collagenous]] components of the alpha3 chain of [[type IV collagen]].
*Anti-glomerular antibodies are directed against 17-31 and 127-141 components of alpha3 chain of type IV collagen. In addition, antibodies may be directed against other components of alpha3 chain.
*The target [[antigen]] that is associated with the strongest pathogenic effect in [[Goodpasture disease|anti-GBM disease]] is the non-collagenous 1 domain of alpha-3 [[type IV collagen]]<ref name="pmid19741587" />
*Even though the basement membrane of various tissues are similar in structure, the antibodies are reactive only against glomerular and alveolar membranes.
*There are two dominant [[epitopes]] called epitope A (17-31) and epitope B(127-141) and are seen in the alpha-3 non-collagenous 1 [[domain]] of [[type IV collagen]]. The [[antibodies]] do not normally bind unless a change has occurred in the non-cross linked hexamers or trimers.
*This can be attributed to the fact that glomerular and alveolar basement membrane have greater expression and availability of epitopes for antibody binding. Moreover, the structure of glomerular and alveolar membrane is such that it promotes easy access of antibodies in these places.
*In Goodpasture syndrome, these [[epitopes]] undergo a transitional change in the non-cross linked hexamers or trimers.

Factors that are associated with these process are due to oxidation, nitrosylation, glycation, increases in body temperature, or proteolytic cleavage. For example, it has been shown that proteolytic cleavage of disulfide bonds in non-cross linked hexamers has shown greater affinity for Goodpasture syndrome antibodies to bind.

Overview

The pathogenesis of Goodpasture syndrome includes the presence of autoantibodies directed against the glomerular and/or alveolar basement membrane. As with many autoimmune conditions, the precise cause of Goodpasture’s Syndrome is not yet known. It is believed to be a type II hypersensitivity reaction to Goodpasture’s antigens on the cells of the glomeruli of the kidneys and the pulmonary alveoli. The basement membrane (including a triple chain type IV collagen) lining the alveoli and glomeruli is particularly damaged in patients suffering from Goodpasture syndrome. The immune system misreads self-tissues as foreign, which leads to attack and destruction, as it would happen in case of an invading pathogen. The target antigen that is associated with the strongest pathogenic effect in anti-GBM disease is the non-collagenous 1 domain of alpha-3 type IV collagen. There is strong correlation of anti-glomerular basement membrane disease with allele HLA DRB1-1501. This allele is associated with renal injury. On gross pathology, Goodpasture syndrome with lung involvement may present with diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage. On microscopic histopathological analysis, early focal proliferative changes that display necrosis and crescent formation (due to hypercellular glomeruli) with an inflamed interstitium are seen. Under direct immunofluorescence, linear immunoglobulin G deposits are found encompassing the glomerular basement membrane and at times the distal tubular portion of the basement membrane.

Pathogenesis

Goodpasture syndrome is an autoimmune condition resulting from antibodies against the glomerular and alveolar basement membrane. It is thought that Goodpasture syndrome is the result of type II hypersensitivity reaction which leads to generation of antibodies which bind antigenic proteins of glomerular and alveolar basement membrane. The antigen-antibody complex leads to activation of complement system and tissue destruction.[1][2]

Pathophysiology

Genes

Genes involved in the pathogenesis of Goodpasture syndrome include certain alleles of human leukocyte antigen (HLA).[2] [8]

  • HLA-B27 has been found to be more frequently associated with severe nephritic form of Goodpasture syndrome.
  • Other alleles associated with Goodpasture syndrome include increased frequency of HLA-DR15 and DRB1*03, DRB1*04 and a decreased frequency of DRB1*01 and DRB1*07.
  • Goodpasture disease is also strongly associated with the DRB1*1501 and to DRB1*1502 allele.
  • The allele DRB1*1501 is primarily associated with causing renal injury and estimated to be present in 80% of patients with Goodpasture syndrome,
  • Recent studies have shown that DRB1*1501 allele is found in approximately one third of Caucasian patients with Goodpasture syndrome.

Gross Pathology

On gross pathology, Goddpasture syndrome with lung involvement may present with diffuse pulmonary hemorrhage.
