Abstract
Purpose: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the primary reason of chronic kidney disease. Our objective was to discover potential autophagy-related biomarkers of tubulointerstitial injury in DKD and assess their clinical value.
Methods: We retrieved four datasets (GSE104954, GSE30122, GSE30529, and GSE99340) of renal tubule samples from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and used two algorithms (LASSO and SVM-RFE) to screen for autophagy-related differentially expressed genes (ARDEGs) in DKD. Tripartite motif containing 22 (TRIM22) was identified for subsequent validation. Validation of TRIM22 and autophagic indicators expression in clinical samples and HK-2 cells stimulated by high glucose using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and western blot.
Results: We identified four ARDEGs (TRIM22, PLK2, HTR2B, and FAS) using a diagnostic gene model. ROC curves further confirmed that TRIM22 had the best diagnostic efficacy for DKD. Both clinical samples and HK-2 cells stimulated by high glucose showed high protein expression of TRIM22. The correlation analysis revealed that TRIM22 correlates with SQSTM1, NGAL, and some clinical and pathological indicators in patients with DKD.
Conclusion: We identified TRIM22 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for DKD, revealing its high diagnostic value in patients with DKD with moderate-to-severe interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA). TRIM22 is involved in tubulointerstitial injury and autophagy dysregulation in DKD.
期刊介绍:
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
