Effects of Apolipoprotein E Isoforms in Diabetic Nephropathy of Chinese Type 2 Diabetic Patients.

ABSTRACT: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major chronic complications of diabetes. Genetic polymorphism of Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) has been proposed to participating in DN. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the relationship between ApoE genetic polymorphism and the presence of DN in Chinese type 2 diabetic patients. We studied 845 diabetic patients who were divided into DN group (n = 429) and control group (n = 416). ApoE genotype was determined by ApoE genotyping chip and the plasmatic biochemical characterization was performed on all subjects. There were differences (P < 0.001) in HbA1c, creatinine, and urinary albumin between the two groups. The ApoE ?2 allelic frequency was 7.69% in DN group versus 3.49% in control group (OR = 2.22, 95% CI = 1.41-3.47, and P < 0.05), as expected, ApoE E2/E2 and E2/E3 genotype frequency were higher in DN group (13.75% versus 6.49%, P < 0.05). The ApoE ?4 allelic frequency was 7.93% in DN group versus 11.54% in control group (OR = 0.70, 95% CI = 0.50-0.97, and P < 0.05), and DN group presented a lower frequency of ApoE E3/E4 and E4/E4 genotype frequency (14.91% versus 19.96%, P < 0.05). These results suggest ApoE ?2 allele may be a risk factor; however ApoE ?4 allele may play a protective role of DN in Chinese type 2 diabetic patients.

Project description:BackgroundAcylcarnitines play a role in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the relationship between acylcarnitine and diabetic nephropathy was unclear. We aimed to explore the association of acylcarnitine metabolites with diabetic nephropathy and estimate the predictive value of acylcarnitine for diabetic nephropathy.MethodsA total of 1032 (mean age: 57.24 ± 13.82) T2DM participants were derived from Liaoning Medical University First Affiliated Hospital. Mass Spectrometry was utilized to measure levels of 25 acylcarnitine metabolites in fasting plasma. Diabetic nephropathy was ascertained based on the medical records. Factor analysis was used to reduce the dimensions and extract factors of the 25 acylcarnitine metabolites. Logistic regression was used to estimate the relationship between factors extracted from the 25 acylcarnitine metabolites and diabetic nephropathy. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to test the predictive values of acylcarnitine factors for diabetic nephropathy.ResultsAmong all T2DM participants, 138 (13.37%) patients had diabetic nephropathy. Six factors were extracted from 25 acylcarnitines, which account for 69.42% of the total variance. In multi-adjusted logistic regression models, the odds ratio (OR, 95% confidence interval [CI]) of diabetic nephropathy on factor 1 (including butyrylcarnitine/glutaryl-carnitine/hexanoylcarnitine/octanoylcarnitine/decanoylcarnitine/lauroylcarnitine/tetradecenoylcarnitine), factor 2 (including propionylcarnitine/palmitoylcarnitine/hydroxypalmitoleyl-carnitine/octadecanoylcarnitine/arachidiccarnitine), and factor 3 (including tetradecanoyldiacylcarnitine/behenic carnitine/tetracosanoic carnitine/hexacosanoic carnitine) were 1.33 (95%CI 1.12-1.58), 0.76 (95%CI 0.62-0.93), and 1.24 (95%CI 1.05-1.47), respectively. The area under the curve for diabetic nephropathy prediction was significantly increased after the complement of factors 1, 2, and 3 in traditional factors model (P < 0.01).ConclusionsSome plasma acylcarnitine metabolites extracted in factors 1 and 3 were higher in diabetic nephropathy, while factor 2 was lower in diabetic nephropathy among T2DM patients. The addition of acylcarnitine to traditional factors model improved the predictive value for diabetic nephropathy.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the structural-functional relationships and the prognostic factors for renal events, cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetic patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Japanese type 2 diabetic patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy (n = 260) were enrolled. Patients were stratified by albuminuria (proteinuria) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the time of renal biopsy. The outcomes were the first occurrence of renal events (requirement of dialysis or a 50% decline in eGFR from baseline), cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, coronary interventions, or nonfatal stroke), and all-cause mortality. RESULTS: The factors associated with albuminuria (proteinuria) regardless of eGFR were hematuria, diabetic retinopathy, low hemoglobin, and glomerular lesions. The factors associated with low eGFR regardless of albuminuria (proteinuria) were age and diffuse, nodular, tubulointerstitial, and vascular lesions. The glomerular, tubulointerstitial, and vascular lesions in patients with normoalbuminuria (normal proteinuria) and low eGFR were more advanced compared to those in patients with normoalbuminuria (normal proteinuria) and maintained eGFR. In addition, compared to patients with micro-/macroalbuminuria (mild/severe proteinuria) and low eGFR, their tubulointerstitial and vascular lesions were similar or more advanced in contrast to glomerular lesions. The mean follow-up period was 8.1 years. There were 118 renal events, 62 cardiovascular events, and 45 deaths. The pathological determinants were glomerular lesions, interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA), and arteriosclerosis for renal events, arteriosclerosis for cardiovascular events, and IFTA for all-cause mortality. The major clinical determinant for renal events and all-cause mortality was macroalbuminuria (severe proteinuria). CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that the characteristic pathological lesions as well as macroalbuminuria (severe proteinuria) were closely related to the long-term outcomes of biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes.
