Association of MMP-9 polymorphisms with diabetic nephropathy risk: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a multifactorial disease with gene-environment interaction resulting in progressive renal function damage. Multiple studies have assessed the association between matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) gene promoter polymorphism and DN susceptibility. However, the results are inconclusive. In the present study, we will conduct a meta-analysis to further examine this relationship more precisely. METHODS:Electronic databases (Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase, Google Scholar, Wanfang, China Biological Medicine and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) will be used to search clinical case-control studies about MMP-9 polymorphism and DN published until 18 August 2020. The language will be restricted to Chinese and English. Two reviewers will take charge of completing the selection of study, the extraction of data as well as the assessment of study quality independently. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale will be used to evaluate the study quality. We will evaluate the association under 5 genetic models. Fixed-effects or random-effects models will be used to calculate the effect sizes of odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals. Afterwards, subgroup analysis will be conducted in terms of the ethnicity and genotyping method. Additionally, sensitivity analysis will be performed via sequentially omitting each of the included studies one at a time. The funnel plots, Egger regression test, and Begg rank correlation test will be used to test the potential publication bias. All the statistical analyses will be performed using Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 12.0. RESULTS:This protocol reported according to the Preferred Reporting ltems for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement. This study will provide a better understanding of the association between MMP-9 polymorphisms and DN risk. CONCLUSION:Publishing this protocol will minimize the potential bias related to data mining, thus contributing to generation of reliable evidence. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER:DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/H5FS4.

Project description:BackgroundNitric oxide (NO) has numerous functions in the kidney, including control of renal and glomerular hemodynamics, by interfering at multiple pathological and physiologically critical steps of nephron function. Endothelial NOS (eNOS) gene has been considered a potential candidate gene to diabetic nephropathy (DN) susceptibility. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (eNOS-3) polymorphisms have been associated with DN, however some studies do not confirm this association. The analyzed polymorphisms were 4b/4a, T-786C, and G986T.MethodsThe Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement was used in this report. Case-control studies that had diabetic patients with DN as cases and diabetic patients without nephropathy as controls, as well as that evaluated at least one of the three polymorphisms of interest were considered eligible. All studies published up until December 31st, 2012 were identified by searching electronic databases. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium assessment was performed. Gene-disease association was measured using odds ratio estimation based on the following genetic contrast/models: (1) allele contrast; (2) additive model; (3) recessive model; (4) dominant model and (4) co-dominant model.ResultsTwenty-two studies were eligible for meta-analysis (4b/a: 15 studies, T-786C: 5 studies, and G984T: 12 studies). Considering 4b/a polymorphism, an association with DN was observed for all genetic models: allele contrast (OR = 1.14, CI: 1.04-1.25); additive (OR = 1.77, CI: 1.37-2.28); recessive (OR = 1.77, CI: 1.38-2,27); dominant (OR = 1.12, CI: 1.01-1.24), with the exception for co-dominance model. As well, T-786C polymorphism showed association with all models, with exception for co-dominance model: allele contrast (OR = 1.22, CI: 1.07-1.39), additive (OR = 1.52, CI: 1.18-1.97), recessive (OR = 1.50, CI: 1.16-1.93), and dominant (OR = 1.11, CI: 1.01-1.23). For the G894T polymorphism, an association with DN was observed in allelic contrast (OR = 1.12, CI: 1.03-1.25) and co-dominance models (OR = 1.13, CI: 1.04-1.37).ConclusionsIn the present study, there was association of DN with eNOS 4b/a and T-786C polymorphism, which held in all genetic models tested, except for co-dominance model. G894T polymorphism was associated with DN only in allele contrast and in co-dominance model. This data suggested that the eNOS gene could play a role in the development of DN.

Project description:Background: Rhein is considered to have beneficial influence on diabetic nephropathy. Animal experiments suggested that the mechanisms of rhein against diabetic nephropathy may involve many processes, but the credibility of the evidence is unclear. Therefore, we conducted systematic review and meta-analysis of pre-clinical animal data to assess the current evidence for rhein effects and mechanisms in treating diabetic nephropathy. Methods: The databases of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP information database, Wanfang Data Information Site, and Chinese Biomedical Literature were searched for this review. SYRCLE's risk of bias tool for animal studies was applied to assess the methodological quality of studies. A meta-analysis was performed according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions by using RevMan 5.3 and STATA/SE 12.0 software. This study was registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42018105220. Results: Twenty-five studies involving 537 animals were included. There was significant association of rhein with levels of blood glucose (P < 0.05), serum creatinine (Scr) (P < 0.05), urine protein (P < 0.05), kidney tubules injury index (P < 0.05), relative area of kidney collagen (P < 0.05), transforming growth factor-β1 (P < 0.05), malondialdehyde (P < 0.05), and superoxide dismutase (P < 0.05) compared with that in the control group. No significant association between rhein and endothelin (P > 0.05) was found. Subgroup analysis showed that the hypoglycemic effect of rhein on type 2 diabetic nephropathy was better than on type 1 diabetic nephropathy (P < 0.05). Conclusions: These findings suggested that rhein has beneficial effects on animal models of diabetic nephropathy, and that the mechanisms are mostly involved with ameliorating levels of TGF-β1, renal fibrosis, metabolism, and oxidative stress status. However, some factors such as possible publication bias, methodological quality, and sample size may affect the accuracy of positive findings. These limitations suggested that a cautious interpretation of the positive results of this systematic review and meta-analysis is necessary. Therefore, high methodological quality and well-reported animal experiments are needed in future research.

Project description:IntroductionDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is a long-term kidney disease among diabetic patients. It is the leading cause of end-stage renal failure. In Ethiopia, DN affects the majority of diabetic populations, but there were inconsistent findings about the determinant factors across the studies.MethodsWe have accessed studies using PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, Web of Science, OVID, and search engines including Google and Google Scholar published up to June 2023. The study populations were diabetic patients with nephropathy. The quality of each included article was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa quality assessment scale. The odds ratios of risk factors were pooled using a random-effect meta-analysis model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochrane Q statistics and I-Square (I2). The publication bias was detected using the funnel plot and/or Egger's test (p< 0.05). Trim and fill analysis was carried out to treat the publication bias. The protocol has been registered with the reference number CRD42023434547.ResultsA total of sixteen articles were used for this reviewed study. Of which, eleven articles were used for advanced age, ten articles for duration of diabetic illness, ten articles for poor glycemic control, and eleven articles for having co-morbid hypertension. Diabetic patients with advanced age (AOR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.03-120, I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.488), longer duration of diabetic illness (AOR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.05-1.45, I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.567), poor glycemic control (AOR = 2.57, 95% CI: 1.07-6.14; I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.996), and having co-morbid hypertension (AOR = 4.03, 95% CI: 2.00-8.12, I2 = 0.0%, p = 0.964) were found to be factors associated with DN.ConclusionsThe findings of the study revealed that diabetic patients with advanced age, longer duration of diabetic illness, poor glycemic control status, and co-morbid hypertension were the determinant factors of DN. Therefore, treatment of co-morbid hypertension and high blood glucose and regular screening of renal function should be implemented to detect, treat, and reduce the progression of DN. Furthermore, healthcare workers should give due attention to diabetes with advanced age and a longer duration of diabetes illness to prevent the occurrence of DN.
