| Abstract | Paraneoplastic nephrotic syndrome is often a complication in patients with cancer, and various histologic lesions have been described in the kidney. We report the case of a 76-year-old woman who presented with a podocytopathy that was found to be associated with a small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). One cycle of carboplatin-etoposide combination therapy led to resolution of nephrotic syndrome and remission of the lung carcinoma. C-Maf-inducing protein (C-Mip) was overexpressed in both podocytes and cancer cells, but was not found in control kidney and lung tissue samples. C-Mip also was absent in SCLC cells from 30 patients without nephrotic syndrome. Exposing cultured podocytes to a sample of our patient's serum that was collected prior to chemotherapy led to disorganization of the podocyte cytoskeleton and induction of C-Mip expression, which was not observed with control serum or our patient's serum sampled after chemotherapy. These observations suggest that C-Mip may play an important role in SCLC-related podocytopathy and that a circulating factor likely induces its expression in the kidney. | |
