Circulating vitamin D metabolites and kidney disease in type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Impaired vitamin D metabolism may contribute to the development and progression of diabetic kidney disease.The aim of the study was to test associations of circulating vitamin D metabolites with risks of incident microalbuminuria, impaired glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and hypertension in type 1 diabetes.We performed a cohort study of 1193 participants in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), a randomized clinical trial of intensive diabetes therapy, and its observational follow-up, the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) Study. We measured plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D by mass spectrometry at the end of the DCCT and tested associations with incident microalbuminuria, impaired GFR, and hypertension over up to 16 yr of EDIC follow-up.At the time metabolites were measured, mean age was 32.4 yr; mean duration of diabetes, 7.5 yr; mean iothalamate GFR, 132.9 ml/min/1.73 m(2); and geometric mean albumin excretion rate, 11.8 mg/24 h. Over follow-up, 166 cases of microalbuminuria, 54 cases of impaired GFR, and 541 cases of hypertension were observed. Compared with 25(OH)D of at least 30 ng/ml, 25(OH)D below 20 ng/ml was associated with a 65% higher risk of microalbuminuria (95% confidence interval, 7 to 154%) in adjusted analyses. Low concentrations of 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, but not 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, were also associated with increased risk of microalbuminuria. No circulating vitamin D metabolite was associated with risk of impaired GFR or hypertension.Low plasma concentrations of 25(OH)D and 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D are associated with increased risk of microalbuminuria in type 1 diabetes. In contrast, we did not find evidence linking impaired vitamin D metabolism to early GFR loss or the development of hypertension.

Project description:ObjectivesGrowing evidence demonstrated that vitamin D levels had been linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in light of various extraskeletal effects. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level with the clinicopathological features and CKD progression in T2DM.MethodsA total of 182 patients with T2DM with CKD stages 1 through 4 (G1-G4) were retrospectively included. Identification of the serum 25(OH)D level associated with CKD progression was executed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models. We further performed sensitivity analyses with a time-weighted average (TWA) of the serum 25(OH)D level in 75 participants to reinforce the findings.ResultsThe median serum 25(OH)D level was 26 (IQR, 14; 39) nmol/L in the study participants. Median follow-up time was 42 months, during which 70 (38%) patients confronted CKD progression. Cumulative kidney outcomes were significantly higher in the lowest tertile of the serum 25(OH)D level in Kaplan-Meier analyses (P < 0.001). Consistently, the analyses of Cox proportional hazards regression models indicated a significantly greater risk for CKD progression in the lowest tertile of the serum 25(OH)D level compared with the highest tertile of the serum 25(OH)D level (P = 0.03). These relationships remained robust with further sensitivity analysis of data with TWA of the serum 25(OH)D level, showing an independent association between lower TWA of the serum 25(OH)D level and an unfavorable renal outcome in patients with T2DM with CKD.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated that patients with T2DM with a decreased 25(OH)D level had deteriorated renal function. Both lower levels of baseline and TWA of serum 25(OH)D were associated with an increased risk of CKD progression in patients with T2DM, which suggested that the long-term maintenance of optimal vitamin D levels from early in life might be associated with reduced future risk of CKD development in T2DM.

Project description:Background: Little is known about placental vitamin D metabolism and its impact on maternal circulating vitamin D concentrations in humans.Objective: This study sought to advance the current understanding of placental vitamin D metabolism and its role in modulating maternal circulating vitamin D metabolites during pregnancy.Design: Nested within a feeding study, 24 healthy pregnant women (26-29 wk of gestation) consumed a single amount of vitamin D (511 IU/d from diet and a cholecalciferol supplement) for 10 wk. Concentrations of placental and blood vitamin D metabolites and placental messenger RNA (mRNA) abundance of vitamin D metabolic pathway components were quantified. In addition, cultured human trophoblasts were incubated with 13C-cholecalciferol to examine the intracellular generation and secretion of vitamin D metabolites along with the regulation of target genes.Results: In placental tissue, 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] was strongly correlated (r = 0.83, P < 0.001) with 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 Moreover, these placental metabolites were strongly correlated (r ? 0.85, P ? 0.04) with their respective metabolites in maternal circulation. Positive associations (P ? 0.045) were also observed between placental mRNA abundance of vitamin D metabolic components and circulating vitamin D metabolites [i.e., LDL-related protein 2 (LRP2, also known as megalin) with 25(OH)D3 and the C3 epimer of 25(OH)D3 [3-epi-25(OH)D3]; cubilin (CUBN) with 25(OH)D3; 25-hydroxylase (CYP2R1) with 3-epi-25(OH)D3; 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1) with 25(OH)D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3]; and 1?-hydroxylase [(CYP27B1) with 3-epi-25(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3]. Notably, in vitro experiments with trophoblasts showed increased production and secretion of 25(OH)D3 and higher CYP24A1 gene transcript abundance in response to cholecalciferol treatment.Conclusions: The numerous associations of many of the placental biomarkers of vitamin D metabolism with circulating vitamin D metabolites among pregnant women [including a CYP27B1-associated increase in 1,25(OH)2D3] and the evidence of trophoblast production and secretion of vitamin D metabolites, especially 25(OH)D3, suggest that the placenta may play an active role in modulating the vitamin D metabolite profile in maternal circulation in human pregnancy. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03051867.
