Despite improvements in understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of primary glomerular diseases, therapy still remains nonspecific. We sought to identify novel therapies targeting kidney-intrinsic injury of distinct primary glomerulonephritides through computational systems biology approaches. We defined the unique transcriptional landscape within kidneys from patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), minimal change disease (MCD), immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), membranous nephropathy (MN) and thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN). Differentially expressed genes were functionally annotated with enrichment analysis, and distinct biological processes and pathways implicated in each primary glomerular disease were uncovered. Finally, we identified novel drugs and small-molecule compounds that may reverse each glomerulonephritis phenotype, suggesting they should be further tested as precise therapy in primary glomerular diseases.
