IntroductionWe investigated the association between cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and decline in kidney function in type 1 diabetes.Research design and methodsWe included 329 persons with type 1 diabetes. CAN was assessed by cardiovascular reflex tests (CARTs): heart rate response to deep breathing (E/I ratio), to standing (30/15 ratio) and to the Valsalva maneuvre. Two or more pathological CARTs defined CAN diagnosis. Outcomes were yearly change in albuminuria or yearly change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). An endpoint of eGFR decline >30%, development of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) or death was examined.Associations were assessed by linear and Cox regression.ResultsParticipants were aged 55.2 (9.4) years, 52% were male, with a diabetes duration of 40.1 (8.9) years, HbA1c of 7.9% (62.5 mmol/mol), eGFR 77.9 (27.7) mL/min/1.73 m2, urinary albumin excretion rate of 14.5 (7–58) mg/24 hours, and 31% were diagnosed with CAN.CAN was associated with a 7.8% higher albuminuria increase per year (95% CI: 0.50% to 15.63%, p=0.036) versus no CAN. The endpoint of ESKD, all-cause mortality and ≥30% decline in eGFR was associated with CAN (HR=2.497, p=0.0254).ConclusionCAN and sympathetic dysfunction were associated with increase in albuminuria in individuals with type 1 diabetes suggesting its role as a potential marker of diabetic kidney disease progression.

Background. Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is involved in the development of diabetic nephropathy. MBL is a part of the innate immune system where it can activate the complement system. Serum MBL level predicts later renal impairment in diabetes patients. Direct involvement of MBL in the development of diabetic kidney disease is observed in one animal strain. However, this involvement may differ among the animal strains. We thus examined the impact of the genetic background on the role of MBL in diabetic nephropathy.Materials/Methods. C57BL/6JBomTac and 129S6/SvEvTac mice were compared. In both strains, experimental type 1 diabetes was induced in wild-type (WT) and MBL-knockout (MBL-KO) mice by streptozotocin. Nondiabetic WT and MBL-KO mice were used as controls. We tested if MBL modified the diabetes-induced kidney changes by two-way ANOVA allowing for interaction.Results. MBL aggravated diabetes-induced kidney growth and glomerulus enlargement in C57BL/6JBomTac mice. MBL did not modify diabetes effects on glomerular basement membrane thickness or mesangial volume in any strain. Diabetes-induced changes in renal gene transcription of growth factors and matrix components were unaffected by MBL.Conclusions. Strain-specific MBL effects were found on downstream diabetic kidney changes. This emphasizes the importance of genetic background in this model of diabetic complications.

We examined the association of urine inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase (IPP2K) with the presence and progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) lesions. Urine IPP2K was measured at baseline by quantitative liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in 215 participants from the Renin-Angiotensin System Study who had type 1 diabetes and were normoalbuminuric and normotensive with normal or increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Urine IPP2K was detectable in 166 participants. Participants with IPP2K below the limit of quantification (LOQ) were assigned concentrations of LOQ/√2. All concentrations were then standardized to urine creatinine (Cr) concentration. Kidney morphometric data were available from biopsies at baseline and after 5 yr. Relationships of IPP2K/Cr with morphometric variables were assessed by linear regression after adjustment for age, sex, diabetes duration, hemoglobin A1c, mean arterial pressure, treatment assignment, and, for longitudinal analyses, baseline structure. Baseline mean age was 29.7 yr, mean diabetes duration 11.2 yr, median albumin excretion rate 5.0 μg/min, and mean iohexol GFR 129 ml·min−1·1.73m−2. Higher IPP2K/Cr was associated with higher baseline peripheral glomerular total filtration surface density [Sv(PGBM/glom), tertile 3 vs. tertile 1 β = 0.527, P = 0.011] and with greater preservation of Sv(PGBM/glom) after 5 yr ( tertile 3 vs. tertile 1 β = 0.317, P = 0.013). Smaller increases in mesangial fractional volume ( tertile 3 vs. tertile 1 β = −0.578, P = 0.018) were observed after 5 yr in men with higher urine IPP2K/Cr concentrations. Higher urine IPP2K/Cr is associated with less severe kidney lesions at baseline and with preservation of kidney structure over 5 yr in individuals with type 1 diabetes and no clinical evidence of DKD at baseline.
