The Impact of Glycosylation of Osteopontin on Urinary Stone Formation.

ABSTRACT: Osteopontin (OPN) is a matrix glycoprotein of urinary calculi. This study aims to identify the role of aberrant glycosylation of OPN in urolithiasis. We retrospectively measured urinary glycosylated OPN normalized by urinary full-length-OPN levels in 110 urolithiasis patients and 157 healthy volunteers and 21 patients were prospectively longitudinal follow-up during stone treatment. The urinary full-length-OPN levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and glycosylated OPN was measured using a lectin array and lectin blotting. The assays were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve to discriminate stone forming urolithiasis patients. In the retrospective cohort, urinary Gal3C-S lectin reactive- (Gal3C-S-) OPN/full-length-OPN, was significantly higher in the stone forming urolithiasis patients than in the healthy volunteers (p < 0.0001), with good discrimination (AUC, 0.953), 90% sensitivity, and 92% specificity. The Lycopersicon esculentum lectin analysis of urinary full-length-OPN showed that urinary full-length-OPN in stone forming urolithiasis patients had a polyLacNAc structure that was not observed in healthy volunteers. In the prospective longitudinal follow-up study, 92.8% of the stone-free urolithiasis group had Gal3C-S-OPN/full-length-OPN levels below the cutoff value after ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URS), whereas 71.4% of the residual-stone urolithiasis group did not show decreased levels after URS. Therefore, Gal3C-S-OPN/full-length-OPN levels could be used as a urolithiasis biomarker.

Project description:Introduction: In complex microbial communities, the importance of microbial species at very low abundance levels and their prevalence for overall community structure and function is increasingly being recognized. Clinical microbiome studies on urinary stone disease (USD) have indicated that both the gut and urinary tract microbiota are associated with the onset of the disease and that kidney stones them-selves harbor a complex, yet consistent and viable, microbiome. However, how rare phylotypes contribute to this association remains unclear. Delineating the contribution of rare and common phylotypes to urinary stone disease is important for the development of bacteriotherapies to promote urologic health. Methods: The objectives of the current report were to conduct a metaanalysis of 16S rRNA datasets derived from the kidney stone, stool, and urine samples of participants with or without urinary stone disease. To delineate the impact of rare and common phylotypes, metaanalyses were conducted by first separating rare and common taxa determined by both the frequency and abundance of amplicon sequence variants. Results: Consistent with previous analyses, we found that gut, upper urinary, and lower urinary tract microbiomes were all unique. Rare phylotypes comprised the majority of species observed in all sample types, with kidney stones exhibiting the greatest bias toward rarity, followed by urine and stool. Both rare and common fractions contributed significantly to the differences observed between sample types and health disparity. Furthermore, the rare and common fractions were taxonomically unique across all sample types. A total of 222 and 320 unique rare phylotypes from urine and stool samples were found to be significantly associated with USD. A co-occurrence correlation analysis revealed that rare phylotypes are most important for microbiome structure in stones, followed by urine and stool. Discussion: Collectively, the results indicate that rare phylotypes may be important for the pathophysiology of USD, particularly in the kidney stone matrix, which is inherently a very low microbial biomass niche that can have implications for the diagnosis and treatment of kidney stones. Further studies are needed to investigate the functional significance of rare phylotypes in kidney stone pathogenesis.

Project description:Background and objectivesThe matricellular protein osteopontin is involved in the pathogenesis of both kidney and cardiovascular disease. However, whether circulating and urinary osteopontin levels are associated with the risk of these diseases is less studied.Design setting participants and measurementsA community-based cohort of elderly men (Uppsala Longitudinal Study of Adult Men [ULSAM]; n = 741; mean age: 77 years) was used to study the associations between plasma and urinary osteopontin, incident chronic kidney disease, and the risk of cardiovascular death during a median of 8 years of follow-up.ResultsThere was no significant cross-sectional correlation between plasma and urinary osteopontin (Spearman ρ = 0.07, p = 0.13). Higher urinary osteopontin, but not plasma osteopontin, was associated with incident chronic kidney disease in multivariable models adjusted for age, cardiovascular risk factors, baseline glomerular filtration rate, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, and the inflammatory markers interleukin 6 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (odds ratio for 1 standard deviation [SD] of urinary osteopontin, 1.42, 95% CI 1.00-2.02, p = 0.048). Conversely, plasma osteopontin, but not urinary osteopontin, was independently associated with cardiovascular death (multivariable hazard ratio per SD increase, 1.35, 95% CI 1.14-1.58, p < 0.001, and 1.00, 95% CI 0.79-1.26, p = 0.99, respectively). The addition of plasma osteopontin to a model with established cardiovascular risk factors significantly increased the C-statistics for the prediction of cardiovascular death (p < 0.002).ConclusionsHigher urinary osteopontin specifically predicts incident chronic kidney disease, while plasma osteopontin specifically predicts cardiovascular death. Our data put forward osteopontin as an important factor in the detrimental interplay between the kidney and the cardiovascular system. The clinical implications, and why plasma and urinary osteopontin mirror different pathologies, remain to be established.
