Abstract Background Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is an important inflammatory marker in diabetic nephropathy. Many studies assessed the association between MMP-9 gene polymorphism and different microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus, though the results were inconclusive and need further exploration. Our study aimed to assess the association between MMP-9 -1562C/T gene polymorphism and diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results Taking CC genotype of rs3918242 (MMP-9-1562C/T SNP) as the reference genotype and C as the reference allele, TT genotype, T allele showed significantly lower frequency in diabetic nephropathy group than without nephropathy (2.9% versus 20%, 20% versus 35.7% respectively), with the possible significant protective effect against diabetic nephropathy development (OR = 0.269, 0.450 respectively); it was considered as an independent predictor for diabetic nephropathy occurrence. Conclusions This study suggested that T allele of MMP-9 -1562C/T single nucleotide polymorphism had a protective role against diabetic nephropathy development and also had a role for early prediction of patients susceptible to this complication, so it helps in prevention and management of those patients.

Microvascular complications of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), (retinopathy and nephropathy) have a similar etiopathogenetic mechanism besides genetic predisposition. Even though these two complications frequently co-exist, their frequency varies. The association of these two signicant complications and their coexistence needs a relook. To study prevalence of retinopathy and nephropathy in Type 2 diabetes mel Aim: litus. Comparison of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy in Type 2 diabetes mellitus and its correlation of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy with duration of illness and various risk factors that affects development, progression and severity of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. 100 diabetic patients were taken up for study for a period of one year meeti Methodology: ng the criteria for the present study. Detailed history was taken from patient and meticulous examination was done of all patients with special emphasis on renal and ophthalmic symptoms. Clinical data and investigation prole was tabulated. Statistical analysis was done. Among 100 patients, 22 had diabetic retinopathy. Among patients with diab Results & Conclusion: etic retinopathy, 68.18% patients had positive family history. Among 100 patients, 32 had diabetic nephropathy, mean FBS was 207 mg%, PPBS was 317.8 mg% and mean HbA was 9.2%. Among patients with diabetic retinopathy, mean FBS was 211 mg%, PPBS was 324.9 1c mg%, HbA was 9.5%. From this study it is found that diabetic nephropathy starts earlier than retinopathy. In this study 1c hypertension was found to accelerate progression into nephropathy and retinopathy.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic, non communicable, multisystem disease that has reached epidemic proportions. Chronic exposure to hyperglycaemia affects the microvasculature, eventually leading to diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy with high impact on the quality of life and overall life expectancy. Sexual dysfunction is an often-overlooked microvascular complication of T2DM, with a complex pathogenesis originating from endothelial dysfunction. Objective: The purpose of this review is to present current definitions, epidemiological data and risk factors for diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and sexual dysfunction. We also describe the clinical and laboratory evaluation that is mandatory for the diagnosis of these conditions. Method: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed to identify data from clinical studies for the prevalence, risk factors and diagnostic methods of microvascular complications of T2DM. Results: Diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy affect approximately 25% of patients with T2DM; diabetic neuropathy is encountered in almost 50% of the diabetic population, while the prevalence of erectile dysfunction ranges from 35-90% in diabetic men. The duration of T2DM along with glycemic, blood pressure and lipid control are common risk factors for the development of these complications. Criteria for the diagnosis of these conditions are well established, but exclusion of other causes is mandatory. Conclusion: Early detection of microvascular complications associated with T2DM is important, as early intervention leads to better outcomes. However, this requires awareness of their definition, prevalence and diagnostic modalities.

Objective. The interaction between advanced glycation end products and their cellular receptor (RAGE) has an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic microvascular complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the 2184A/G polymorphism in the RAGE gene and diabetic nephropathy in Chinese Han patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods. A total of 868 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (486 without and 382 with diabetic nephropathy) were enrolled in this study. The genotype and allele frequencies of the 2184A/G polymorphism were detected using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment-length polymorphism method. Results. The G allele and AG + GG genotype frequencies in patients with diabetic nephropathy were significantly lower than those in patients without diabetic nephropathy (P=0.001 and P=0.005, resp.). After adjustments for possible confounders, multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that the 2184A/G polymorphism was independently associated with diabetic nephropathy (OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.22–0.92, P=0.028). Conclusions. Our study indicated that the 2184A/G polymorphism in the RAGE gene was significantly associated with diabetic nephropathy in Chinese Han patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract. Background: The study was designed to test the possible association between either polymorphisms of the matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) gene (rs17576, rs3918242) or the MMP-3 5A/6A gene polymorphism (rs3025058) with markers of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The second aim of the study was to demonstrate an association between either the rs17576, rs3918242 or rs3025058 and subclinical markers of coronary artery disease in the same subset of patients with T2DM. Patients and methods: A total of 595 subjects with T2DM and 200 subjects without T2DM (control group) were enrolled in the prospective study. Subclinical markers of carotid atherosclerosis were assessed ultrasonographically. Additionally, in a subset of subjects with T2DM a coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) was performed for diagnostic purposes. Genotyping of all three polymorphisms (rs17576, rs3918242, rs3025058) was performed with real-time PCR systems. Results: The comparison of atherosclerosis parameters was performed with regard to different genotypes of MMP-9 rs17576, rs3918242, and MMP-3 rs3025058 polymorphisms upon enrolment and during follow-up. In our study, we found an association between the MMP-3 rs3025058 and CIMT at the time of recruitment. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed the association of either the A- allele or the A- genotypes of the rs3025058 (MMP-3) with carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) progression in a 3.8-year follow-up. We demonstrated the effect of the rs3025058 on subclinical markers of coronary atherosclerosis (coronary calcium score, number of coronary arteries with more than 50 % stenosis, and presence of at least one vessel with more than 50 % stenosis). Conclusions: We found an association between the MMP-3 rs3025058 and subclinical markers of carotid (CIMT) and coronary atherosclerosis at the time of recruitment. Moreover, we demonstrated the effect of the MMP-3 rs3025058 on CIMT progression in the 3.8-year follow-up in patients with T2DM.
