Urinary plasmin inhibits TRPV5 in nephrotic-range proteinuria.

ABSTRACT: Urinary proteins that leak through the abnormal glomerulus in nephrotic syndrome may affect tubular transport by interacting with membrane transporters on the luminal side of tubular epithelial cells. Patients with nephrotic syndrome can develop nephrocalcinosis, which animal models suggest may develop from impaired transcellular Ca(2+) reabsorption via TRPV5 in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT). In nephrotic-range proteinuria, filtered plasminogen reaches the luminal side of DCT, where it is cleaved into active plasmin by urokinase. In this study, we found that plasmin purified from the urine of patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria inhibits Ca(2+) uptake in TRPV5-expressing human embryonic kidney 293 cells through the activation of protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1). Preincubation with a plasmin inhibitor, a PAR-1 antagonist, or a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor abolished the effect of plasmin on TRPV5. In addition, ablation of the PKC phosphorylation site S144 rendered TRPV5 resistant to the action of plasmin. Patch-clamp experiments showed that a decreased TRPV5 pore size and a reduced open probability accompany the plasmin-mediated reduction in Ca(2+) uptake. Furthermore, high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy demonstrated specific interactions between calmodulin and residues 133-154 of the N-terminus of TRPV5 for both wild-type and phosphorylated (S144pS) peptides. In summary, PAR-1 activation by plasmin induces PKC-mediated phosphorylation of TRPV5, thereby altering calmodulin-TRPV5 binding, resulting in decreased channel activity. These results indicate that urinary plasmin could contribute to the downstream effects of proteinuria on the tubulointerstitium by negatively modulating TRPV5.

Project description:Heavy proteinuria with or without features of nephrotic syndrome is associated with many primary and systemic diseases. For diabetic patients, distinguishing nondiabetic renal disease (NDRD) from diabetic nephropathy (DN) is important in choosing treatment modalities and determining renal prognosis. However, clinical relevance of heavy proteinuria is inconsistent with clinical DN assessments. This study investigated the clinicopathological features and renal outcomes of DN and NDRD in type 2 diabetic patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria.We enrolled 220 cases of type 2 diabetic patients who underwent renal biopsy. They were grouped according to the presence of nephritic-range proteinuria and pathological features. Baseline characteristics, laboratory findings, types of pathological diagnosis, and renal outcomes were analyzed in patients with heavy proteinuria.Upon kidney biopsy, 129 patients (58.6%) showed nephritic-range proteinuria. Patients with heavy proteinuria (an average urine protein-to-creatinine ratio of 10,008 ± 7307 mg/gCr) showed lower serum albumin levels and higher total cholesterol levels, but did not show any difference in age, duration of diabetes, renal function, or the presence of retinopathy compared with those with mild-to-moderate proteinuria (an average urine protein-to-creatinine ratio of 1581 ± 979 mg/gCr). Renal biopsy revealed that the prevalence of NDRD was 37.2% in patients with heavy proteinuria, which was significantly lower than that in patients with mild-to-moderate proteinuria (63.7%). The most common pathological types of NDRD were membranous nephropathy (41.7%), IgA nephropathy (14.6%), and minimal change disease (10.4%). NDRD patients showed lower prevalence of diabetic retinopathy and better kidney function irrespective of proteinuria. Immunosuppressive treatment was administered more frequently in patients with heavy proteinuria (56.3%) compared with patients with mild-to-moderate proteinuria (20%) because of the pathological differences according to the amount of proteinuria. Renal outcomes were significantly worse in patients with DN than in patients with NDRD.DN patients with heavy proteinuria exhibited different prevalence of NDRD and worse prognosis. Renal biopsy in type 2 diabetic patients should be more extensively considered to accurately diagnose NDRD, guide further management, and predict renal outcomes, especially in patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetic kidney disease with nephrotic-range proteinuria (NRP) is commonly associated with rapid kidney function loss, increased cardiovascular risk, and premature mortality. We explored the effect of empagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, complicated by presence of this major risk factor for progressive kidney disease, in a post-hoc analysis of data from the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial (NCT01131676).MethodsCox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the risk of cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in participants with and without NRP, defined by urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥2200 mg/g at baseline. Annual loss of eGFR during chronic treatment (eGFR slopes) and hypothetical time to projected end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), conditioning upon linearity of eGFR change over time if a patient did not decease before projected ESKD, were calculated using a random-intercept random-coefficient model. Safety was described based on investigator-reported adverse events.Findings112 participants (pooled empagliflozin, n = 70; placebo, n = 42; median on-treatment follow-up of 1·9 years on placebo compared with 2·3 years on empagliflozin) presented with NRP at baseline; eGFR and UACR were balanced between treatments. Empagliflozin benefits on cardiovascular death, hospitalisation for heart failure, or kidney outcomes, were consistent in participants with and without NRP (pinteraction >0·1). Treatment effects of empagliflozin on adjusted annual mean eGFR slope were more pronounced in participants with NRP versus those without (pinteraction 0·005). Empagliflozin was estimated to double the median hypothetical time to projected ESKD in participants with NRP. The overall safety profile of empagliflozin was comparable between participants with and without NRP at baseline.InterpretationOur data suggests that empagliflozin might slow kidney function loss and delay the estimated onset of projected ESKD in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease complicated by NRP.

Project description:BackgroundNephrotic-range proteinuria (NRP) is associated with rapid kidney function loss and increased cardiovascular (CV) disease risk. We assessed the effects of linagliptin (LINA) on CV and kidney outcomes in people with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) with or without NRP.MethodsCardiovascular and renal microvascular outcome study with LINA randomized participants with T2D and CV disease and/or kidney disease to LINA 5 mg or placebo (PBO). The primary endpoint [time to first occurrence of 3-point major adverse cardiac events (3P-MACE)], and kidney outcomes, were evaluated by NRP status [urinary albumin:creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥2200 mg/g] at baseline (BL) in participants treated with one or more dose of study medication.ResultsNRP was present in 646/6979 [9.3% (LINA/PBO n = 317/n = 329); median UACR 3486 (Q1: 2746/Q3: 4941) mg/g] participants, who compared with no-NRP were younger (62.3/66.1 years) and had lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (39.9/56.1 mL/min/1.73 m2). Over a median of 2.2 years, 3P-MACE occurred with a 2.0-fold higher rate in NRP versus no-NRP (PBO group), with a neutral LINA effect, regardless of NRP. The composite of time to renal death, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) or decrease of ≥40 or ≥50% in eGFR, occurred with 12.3- and 13.6-fold higher rate with NRP (PBO group); evidence of heterogeneity of effects with LINA was observed for the former [NRP yes/no: hazard ratio 0.80 (0.63-1.01)/1.25 (1.02-1.54); P-interaction 0.005], but not the latter [0.83 (0.64-1.09)/1.17 (0.91-1.51), P-interaction 0.07]. No heterogeneity was observed for renal death or ESKD [0.88 (0.64-1.21)/0.94 (0.67-1.31), P-interaction 0.79]. Glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was significantly reduced regardless of NRP, without increasing hypoglycaemia risk. Regression to normoalbuminuria [1.20 (1.07-1.34)] and reduction of UACR ≥50% [1.15 (1.07-1.25)] from BL, occurred more frequently with LINA, regardless of NRP status (P-interactions >0.05).ConclusionsIndividuals with T2D and NRP have a high disease burden. LINA reduces their albuminuria burden and HbA1c, without affecting CV or kidney risk.
