Abstract
Introduction: The early diagnosis of kidney injury in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is important to prevent the long-term damaging effects of kidney loss and is decisive for patient outcomes. While SIRT2 is implicated in diabetes pathogenesis, its correlation with diabetic nephropathy remains unexplored. This study was designed to evaluate the association of urine SIRT2 levels with diabetic kidney injury, as well as potential underlying mechanisms.
Methods: In T2DM patients, db/db mice, and high glucose plus palmitic acid treated HK2 cell models, ELISA, Immunoturbidimetry, Immunohistochemistry, Western blot, and Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to detect SIRT2 levels and kidney damage. According to urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), 163 T2DM patients were divided into three groups. Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between urinary sirtuin2/creatinine ratio (USCR) and biomarkers of kidney injury. The influencing factors of albuminuria in T2DM patients were analyzed by logistic regression model.
Results: In our findings, the Macro group exhibited the highest USCR levels as UACR increased. There was a positive association between USCR and UACR, α1-microglobulin/creatinine ratio (UαCR), β2-microglobulin/creatinine ratio (UβCR), and retinol-binding protein/creatinine ratio (URCR), with a negative correlation observed with eGFR. Logistic ordered multiclassification regression analysis, adjusting for confounding variables, confirmed that USCR remained a significant risk factor for the severity of albuminuria in T2DM patients. In the db/db mice kidney SIRT2 protein level increased significantly. Increased SIRT2 protein levels were also observed in renal tubular epithelial cells treated with high glucose plus palmitic acid. Moreover, SIRT2 promotes the expression of proinflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 by modulating the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and p-JNK in renal tubular cells induced by high glucose and palmitic acid.
Conclusion: Urinary SIRT2 is closely related to eGFR, renal tubule injury, and urinary albumin excretion in T2DM patients, which is expected to be an important indicator to comprehensively reflect renal injury.
期刊介绍：
This journal comprises both clinical and basic studies at the interface of nephrology, hypertension and cardiovascular research. The topics to be covered include the structural organization and biochemistry of the normal and diseased kidney, the molecular biology of transporters, the physiology and pathophysiology of glomerular filtration and tubular transport, endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell function and blood pressure control, as well as water, electrolyte and mineral metabolism. Also discussed are the (patho)physiology and (patho) biochemistry of renal hormones, the molecular biology, genetics and clinical course of renal disease and hypertension, the renal elimination, action and clinical use of drugs, as well as dialysis and transplantation. Featuring peer-reviewed original papers, editorials translating basic science into patient-oriented research and disease, in depth reviews, and regular special topic sections, ''Kidney & Blood Pressure Research'' is an important source of information for researchers in nephrology and cardiovascular medicine.
