<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains the leading cause of chronic kidney disease. Dysregulation of circulating miRNAs has been reported, suggesting their pathological roles in DKD. This study aimed to investigate differentially expressed miRNAs in the sera of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with and without albuminuria in a selected Malaysian population. <b><i>Method:</i></b> Forty-one T2DM patients on follow-up at a community clinic were divided into normo-(NA), micro-(MIC), and macroalbuminuria (MAC) groups. Differential levels of miRNAs in 12 samples were determined using the pathway-focused (human fibrosis) miScript miRNA qPCR array and was validated in 33 samples, using the miScript custom qPCR array (CMIHS02742) (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Trends of upregulation of 3 miRNAs in the serum, namely, miR-874-3p, miR-101-3p, and miR-145-5p of T2DM patients with MAC compared to those with NA. Statistically significant upregulation of miR-874-3p (<i>p</i> = 0.04) and miR-101-3p (<i>p</i> = 0.01) was seen in validation cohort. Significant negative correlations between the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and miR-874-3p (<i>p</i> = 0.05), miR-101-3p (<i>p</i> = 0.03), and miR-145-5p (<i>p</i> = 0.05) as well as positive correlation between miR-874-3p and age (<i>p</i> = 0.03) were shown by Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Upregulation of previously known miRNA, namely, miR-145-5p, and possibly novel ones, namely, miR-874-3p and miR-101-3p in the serum of T2DM patients, was found in this study. There was a significant correlation between the eGFR and these miRNAs. The findings of this study have provided encouraging evidence to further investigate the putative roles of these differentially expressed miRNAs in DKD.

Abstract. The present study aimed to investigate the dynamics of clinical and laboratory parameters and serum Klotho protein level in patients with diabetic kidney disease using nephroprotective therapy combined with an inhibitor of the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) dapagliflozin. Methods. A total of 76 type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) were examined in this prospective study. Control group - 20 healthy subjects. 53 patients received a standard course of treatment, which included metformin, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers and statins. In addition to standard therapy, 23 patients have been prescribed the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin 10 mg per day. The treatment follow-up period was six months. Klotho concentration was determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results. The development of DN in type 2 diabetic patients was accompanied by a significant decrease in soluble Klotho protein in comparison with controls and patients without nephropathy. During follow-up, Klotho protein level was changed significantly in the group of DN patients with albuminuria. Standard therapy resulted in Klotho concentration increase by 14% compared to pre-treatment values; a more demonstrative increase in the Klotho level was found in the dapagliflozin group (almost 23%). Conclusions. SGLT2 inhibitor treatment resulted in a significant increase of pleiotropic serum protein Klotho in patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease.

Glucagon Like Peptide 1

Abstract Context In randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (GLP-RA) dulaglutide reduced HbA1c and body weight, but generalizability of such findings to real-world T2D patients is challenging. Objective We evaluated effectiveness of dulaglutide in routine clinical practice, especially in subgroups of patient that are underrepresented in RCTs. Design Retrospective multicenter study. Setting Diabetes outpatient clinics. Patients and intervention All consecutive patients who initiated dulaglutide between 2015 and 2018. Main outcome measures Changes in HbA1c and body weight were assessed up to 30 months after baseline. Effectiveness was analyzed in patient subgroups according to: prior use of GLP-1RA, persistence on treatment and dose, age, sex, disease duration, renal function, obesity, cardiovascular disease, or concomitant use of insulin or sulphonylurea. Results From a background population of 83,116 patients, 2084 initiated dulaglutide (15.3% switching from another GLP-1RA), 1307 of whom had at least 1 follow-up visit. Overall, dulaglutide reduced HbA1c by 1.0% and body weight by 2.9 kg at the end of observation. These effects were more pronounced in GLP-1RA-naïve patients and in those with shorter disease duration. Improvement in HbA1c was highly significant and consistent across all subgroups, including those aged ≥ 75 years, nonobese, or with chronic kidney disease. Body weight declined in all subgroups and significantly more with the 1.5-mg versus 0.75-mg dose. Conclusions In real-world T2D patients, effectiveness of dulaglutide on HbA1c and body weight reduction was highly consistent and significant even in subgroups of patients poorly represented in RCTs.

Background: We assessed the tolerability and efficacy of autologous skin cell grafts in older type 2 diabetic patients with chronic foot ulcers. Methods: Treatment with Hyalograft 3D and Laserskin Autograft was proposed to a consecutive series of type 2 diabetic patients older than 65 years affected by long-standing (&gt;6 months) foot ulcers with an area greater than 15 cm2. Ulcer healing rates and measurements of ulcer area were determined monthly for 12 months. Results: Seven patients with 12 ulcers, nine of which received the described treatment, were enrolled. During 12-month follow-up, all of the ulcers healed except one. In the remaining eight ulcers, the median healing time was 21 weeks (interquartile range, 4–29 weeks). Conclusions: Autologous skin cell grafts are feasible, well tolerated, and apparently effective in the treatment of diabetic ulcers of the lower limbs in advanced age. Age did not seem to moderate healing times. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 101(1): 55–58, 2011)

Background/Aims. Subclinical atherosclerosis and long-term glycemic variability have been reported to predict incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population. However, these associations have not been investigated in patients with type 2 diabetes with preserved kidney function.Methods. We prospectively followed up 162 patients with type 2 diabetes (mean age, 62.3 years; 53.6% men) and assessed whether carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measured by B-mode ultrasound and visit-to-visit HbA1c variability are associated with deterioration of CKD (incident CKD defined as estimated GFR [eGFR] < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2and progression of CKD stages) over a median follow-up of 6.0 years. At baseline, 25 patients (15.4%) had CKD. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used for identifying associated factors of CKD deterioration.Results.Estimated GFR decreased from75.8±16.3to67.4±18.2 mL/min/1.73 m2(p<0.01). Of 162 patients, 32 developed CKD and 8 made a progression of CKD stages. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that carotid IMT (HR: 4.0, 95% CI: 1.1–14.226.7, andp=0.03) and coefficient of variation of HbA1c (HR: 1.12, 95%: 1.04–1.21, andp=0.003) were predictors of deterioration of CKD independently of age, mean HbA1c, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, baseline eGFR, uric acid, and leucocyte count.Conclusions.Subclinical atherosclerosis and long-term glycemic variability predict deterioration of chronic kidney disease (as defined by incident or worsening CKD) in type 2 diabetic patients with preserved kidney function.
