Plasma kininogen and kininogen fragments are biomarkers of progressive renal decline in type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: The ability of microalbuminuria to predict early progressive renal function decline in type 1 diabetic patients has been questioned. To resolve this, we determined the plasma proteome differences between microalbuminuric patients with type 1 diabetes and stable renal function (controls) and patients at risk for early progressive renal function decline (cases) and asked whether these differences have value as surrogate biomarkers. Mass spectrometry was used to analyze small (<3 kDa) plasma peptides isolated from well-matched case and control plasma obtained at the beginning of an 8-12 year follow-up period. A Spearman analysis of plasma peptide abundance and the rate of renal function decline during follow-up identified seven masses with a significant negative correlation with early progressive renal function decline. Tandem mass spectrometry identified three fragments of high-molecular-weight kininogen. Increased plasma high-molecular-weight kininogen in the cases was confirmed by immunoblot. One peptide, des-Arg9-BK(1-8), induced Erk1/2 phosphorylation when added apically to two proximal tubular cell lines grown on permeable inserts. Thus, we have identified plasma protein fragments, some of which have biological activity with moderate to strong correlation, with early progressive renal function decline in microalbuminuric patients with type 1 diabetes. Other peptides are candidates for validation as candidate biomarkers of diabetes-associated renal dysfunction.

Project description:IntroductionDiabetic nephropathy remains a highly prevalent microvascular complication in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Hispanic individuals are at increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular complications compared with non-Hispanic white individuals. We described the long-term kidney outcomes using a culturally based approach to diabetes management in Hispanic patients implemented by the Joslin Diabetes Center's Latino Diabetes Initiative.MethodsOur retrospective study included 594 Hispanic patients evaluated at the Joslin Diabetes Center from July 2002 to July 2015. Demographic and clinical data were collected from the outpatient visits.ResultsUncontrolled high blood pressure (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.72; 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.18-2.51; P = 0.005), overweight (HR: 2.68; 95% CI: 1.13-6.38; P = 0.026), and longstanding T2DM duration (HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.08-1.14; P < 0.0001) at baseline were significantly associated with increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although poor glycemic control (HR: 1.18; 95% CI: 1.099-1.258; P < 0.0001), systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 (HR: 1.01; 95% CI: 1.006-1.02; P = 0.0002), and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker use (HR: 1.53; 95% CI: 1.03-2.29; P = 0.04) were significantly associated with increased CKD incidence during follow-up. Interestingly, statin use was associated with lower CKD incidence during the follow-up (HR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.42-0.65; P < 0.0001). The annual rate of renal function decline in our cohort was estimated to be -1.39 ml/min per 1.73 m2.ConclusionRenal function decline in Latinos is associated with expected but modifiable variables, such as uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, and being overweight. However, the annual rate of renal function decline in our cohort was estimated to be comparatively higher than previous reports in Hispanic individuals without T2DM, and the general US population with T2DM, but lower than expected for this high-risk group. We highlight the importance of a culturally based patient-centered therapeutic approach to improve long-term outcomes in Hispanic patients at high risk of CKD.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Biomarkers may improve identification of individuals at risk of eGFR decline who may benefit from intervention or dialysis planning. However, available biomarkers remain incompletely validated for risk stratification and prediction modeling. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS:We examined serum cystatin C, urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1), and urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (UNGAL) in 5367 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and recent acute coronary syndromes enrolled in the Examination of Cardiovascular Outcomes with Alogliptin versus Standard of Care (EXAMINE) trial. Baseline concentrations and 6-month changes in biomarkers were also evaluated. Cox proportional regression was used to assess associations with a 50% decrease in eGFR, stage 5 CKD (eGFR<15 ml/min per 1.73 m2), or dialysis. RESULTS:eGFR decline occurred in 98 patients (1.8%) over a median of 1.5 years. All biomarkers individually were associated with higher risk of eGFR decline (P<0.001). However, when adjusting for baseline eGFR, proteinuria, and clinical factors, only baseline cystatin C (adjusted hazard ratio per 1 SD change, 1.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.41 to 1.96; P<0.001) and 6-month change in urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (adjusted hazard ratio per 1 SD change, 1.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 1.12; P=0.004) independently associated with CKD progression. A base model for predicting kidney function decline with nine standard risk factors had strong discriminative ability (C-statistic 0.93). The addition of baseline cystatin C improved discrimination (C-statistic 0.94), but it failed to reclassify risk categories of individuals with and without eGFR decline. CONCLUSIONS:The addition of cystatin C or biomarkers of tubular injury did not meaningfully improve the prediction of eGFR decline beyond common clinical factors and routine laboratory data in a large cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes and recent acute coronary syndrome.

Project description:BackgroundIn patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) who develop microalbuminuria, progressive decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) may be initiated by leakage into the urine of toxic proteins (txUPs). This study tested this hypothesis.MethodsAfter archiving baseline urine, we followed T1D patients with microalbuminuria for 8-12 years to distinguish those in whom GFR declined (Decliners) and those in whom it remained stable (Non-decliners). Human proximal tubular cells (HK-2 cells) were grown in serum-free medium enriched with pooled urines from Decliners or Non-decliners. We determined genome-wide expression profiles in extracted mRNA.ResultsThe two pooled urines induced differential expression of 312 genes. In terms of gene ontology, molecular functions of the 119 up-regulated genes were enriched for protein binding and peptidase inhibitor activities. Their biologic processes were enriched for defense response, responses to other organisms, regulation of cellular processes, or response to stress or stimulus, and programmed cell death. The 195 down-regulated genes were disproportionately represented in molecular functions of cation binding, hydrolase activity, and DNA binding. They were disproportionately represented in biological processes for regulation of metabolic processes, nucleic acid metabolic processes, cellular response to stress and macromolecule biosynthesis. The set of up-regulated genes in HK-2 cells overlaps significantly with sets of over-expressed genes in tubular and interstitial compartments of kidney biopsies from patients with advanced DN (33 genes in one study and 25 in the other compared with 10.3 expected by chance, p<10(-9) and p<10(-4), respectively). The overlap included genes encoding chemokines and cytokines. Overlap of down-regulated genes was no more than expected by chance.ConclusionsMolecular processes in tubules and interstitium seen in advanced diabetic nephropathy can be induced in vitro by exposure to urine from patients with minimal microalbuminuria who subsequently developed progressive renal function decline, presumably due to putative txUPs.

Project description:Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an independent risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and populations with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have high incidence to suffer from AD. Therefore, discerning who may be more vulnerable to MCI, among the increasing T2DM populations, is important for early intervention and eventually decreasing the prevalence rate of AD. This study was to explore whether the change of plasma β-amyloid (Aβ) could be a biomarker to distinguish MCI (T2DM-MCI) from non-MCI (T2DM-nMCI) in T2DM patients. Methods: Eight hundred fifty-two T2DM patients collected from five medical centers were assigned randomly to training and validation cohorts. Plasma Aβ, platelet glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotypes, and olfactory and cognitive functions were measured by ELISA, dot blot, RT-PCR, Connecticut Chemosensory Clinical Research Center (CCCRC) olfactory test based on the diluted butanol, and Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE) test, respectively, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied. Results: Elevation of plasma Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 is an independent risk factor of MCI in T2DM patients. Although using Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 alone only reached an AUC of 0.631 for MCI diagnosis, addition of the elevated Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 to our previous model (i.e., activated platelet GSK-3β, ApoE ε4 genotype, olfactory decline, and aging) significantly increased the discriminating efficiency of T2DM-MCI from T2DM-nMCI, with an AUC of 0.846 (95% CI: 0.794-0.897) to 0.869 (95% CI: 0.822-0.916) in the training cohort and an AUC of 0.848 (95% CI: 0.815-0.882) to 0.867 (95% CI: 0.835-0.899) in the validation cohort, respectively. Conclusion: A combination of the elevated plasma Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 with activated platelet GSK-3β, ApoE ε4 genotype, olfactory decline, and aging could efficiently diagnose MCI in T2DM patients. Further longitudinal studies may consummate the model for early prediction of AD.
