Introduction: New biomarkers, such as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a member of the lipocalin family, and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) have been utilised in recent years to identify the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, attempts to use them as broad markers to check for renal injury in patients and to pinpoint the kidney injury site have been unsuccessful. Therefore the search for an ideal panel of biomarkers predicting progression of CKD is still ongoing. The present study is designed to evaluate the biomarkers for CKD from NGAL, KIM-1, Beta trace protein (BTP) and Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA).
Materials and methods: For this case-control study, 100 participants were selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria at the Index Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Madhya Pradesh, there were 67 male subjects and 33 female CKD subjects and 100 non-CKD subjects (60 male and 40 female) matched for age and sex were taken from the hospital.
Results: Between the CKD and non-CKD participants, the levels of BTP, plasma NGAL, KIM-1, and ADMA were compared and found to be substantially higher than those in the controls.
Conclusion: Abnormal renal function is linked to disturbed blood levels of BTP, NGAL, KIM-1, and ADMA. Strong correlations exist between increased blood levels of BTP, NGAL, KIM-1, and ADMA and reduced kidney function. They might thus be used to estimate the decline of renal function and the progression of CKD.

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a condition in which nerve fibers are continually exposed to high glucose-induced free radicals. Recent discoveries demonstrated that melatonin is an indole hormone that contributes to neuroprotection through the modulation of autophagy. Herein, this study aims to examine the neuroprotective effects of melatonin on Schwann cells under high glucose conditions. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-Diphenyltetrazolium Bromide (MTT) assay was used to measure cell viability. The activation of autophagosomes was determined using acridine orange staining (AO). Western blot assay was used to measure the expression of proteins involved in autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Our results demonstrated that melatonin at 1 µM has the highest protective effects on high glucose-induced cell death. Melatonin concentrations of 5 and 10 µM were found to be the most effective in reducing autophagy induced by high glucose. Under high glucose conditions, the protein expressions of LC3, ATF4, ATF6, CHOP, PERK and eIF2-α were up-regulated in Schwann cells. However, melatonin attenuated these changes by downregulating LC3 and the ER stress markers ATF4, ATF6, CHOP, PERK and eIF2-α protein expressions in Schwann cells. In conclusion, melatonin alleviates high glucose-induced autophagy in Schwann cells through PERK-eIF2α-ATF4-CHOP signaling pathways.
