- Urinary CD80 and Serum suPAR as Biomarkers of Glomerular Disease among Adults in Brazil(2023) ZEN, Renata de Cassia; DOMINGUEZ, Wagner Vasques; BRAGA, Ivone; REIS, Luciene Machado dos; JORGE, Lecticia Barbosa; YU, Luis; WORONIK, Viktoria; DIAS, Cristiane BitencourtIntroduction: Urinary CD80 has been shown to have good specificity for minimal change disease (MCD) in children. However, the investigation of circulating factors such as soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) as biomarkers of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is quite controversial. The objective of this study was to determine whether urinary CD80 and serum suPAR can be used for the diagnosis of MCD and FSGS, respectively, in the adult population of Brazil. We also attempted to determine whether those biomarkers assess the response to immunosuppressive treatment. Methods: This was a prospective study in which urine and blood samples were collected for analysis of CD80 and suPAR, respectively, only in the moment of renal biopsy, from patients undergoing to diagnostic renal biopsy. At and six months after biopsy, we analyzed serum creatinine, serum albumin, and proteinuria in order to evaluate the use of the CD80 and suPAR collected in diagnosis as markers of response to immunosuppressive treatment. In healthy controls were collected urinary CD80 and proteinuria, serum suPAR, and creatinine. Results: The results of 70 renal biopsies were grouped, by diagnosis, as follows: FSGS (n = 18); membranous nephropathy (n = 14); MCD (n = 5); and other glomerulopathies (n = 33). There was no significant difference among the groups in terms of the urinary CD80 levels, and serum suPAR was not significantly higher in the FSGS group, as would have been expected. Urinary CD80 correlated positively with nephrotic syndrome, regardless of the type of glomerular disease. Neither biomarker correlated with proteinuria at six months after biopsy. Conclusion: In adults, urinary CD80 can serve as a marker of nephrotic syndrome but is not specific for MCD, whereas serum suPAR does not appear to be useful as a diagnostic or treatment response marker.
- Advanced Glycation End Products and Bone Metabolism in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease(2023) QUADROS, Kelcia R. S.; ROZA, Noemi A. V.; FRANCA, Renata A.; ESTEVES, Andre B. A.; BARRETO, Joaquim; DOMINGUEZ, Wagner V.; FURUKAWA, Luzia N. S.; CARAMORI, Jacqueline Teixeira; SPOSITO, Andrei C.; OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo Bueno deAdvanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulation may be involved in the progression of CKD-bone disorders. We sought to determine the relationship between AGEs measured in the blood, skin, and bone with histomorphometry parameters, bone protein, gene expression, and serum biomarkers of bone metabolism in patients with CKD stages 3 to 5D patients. Serum levels of AGEs were estimated by pentosidine, glycated hemoglobin (A1c), and N-carboxymethyl lysine (CML). The accumulation of AGEs in the skin was estimated from skin autofluorescence (SAF). Bone AGEs accumulation and multiligand receptor for AGEs (RAGEs) expression were evaluated by immunohistochemistry; bone samples were used to evaluate protein and gene expression and histomorphometric analysis. Data are from 86 patients (age: 51 +/- 13 years; 60 [70%] on dialysis). Median serum levels of pentosidine, CML, A1c, and SAF were 71.6 pmol/mL, 15.2 ng/mL, 5.4%, and 3.05 arbitrary units, respectively. AGEs covered 3.92% of trabecular bone and 5.42% of the cortical bone surface, whereas RAGEs were expressed in 0.7% and 0.83% of trabecular and cortical bone surfaces, respectively. AGEs accumulation in bone was inversely related to serum receptor activator of NF-KB ligand/parathyroid hormone (PTH) ratio (R = -0.25; p = 0.03), and RAGE expression was negatively related to serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b/PTH (R = -0.31; p = 0.01). Patients with higher AGEs accumulation presented decreased bone protein expression (sclerostin [1.96 (0.11-40.3) vs. 89.3 (2.88-401) ng/mg; p = 0.004]; Dickkopf-related protein 1 [0.064 (0.03-0.46) vs. 1.36 (0.39-5.87) ng/mg; p = 0.0001]; FGF-23 [1.07 (0.4-32.6) vs. 44.1 (6-162) ng/mg; p = 0.01]; and osteoprotegerin [0.16 (0.08-2.4) vs. 6.5 (1.1-23.7) ng/mg; p = 0.001]), upregulation of the p53 gene, and downregulation of Dickkopf-1 gene expression. Patients with high serum A1c levels presented greater cortical porosity and Mlt and reduced osteoblast surface/bone surface, eroded surface/bone surface, osteoclast surface/bone surface, mineral apposition rate, and adjusted area. Cortical thickness was negatively correlated with serum A1c (R = -0.28; p = 0.02) and pentosidine levels (R = -0.27; p = 0.02). AGEs accumulation in the bone of CKD patients was related to decreased bone protein expression, gene expression changes, and increased skeletal resistance to PTH; A1c and pentosidine levels were related to decreased cortical thickness; and A1c levels were related to increased cortical porosity and Mlt.
conferenceObject Increased Expression of DKK-1 in an Adynamic Bone Disease Model: Role of Phosphate(2023) TRUYTS, Tania; FERREIRA, Juliana; NEVES, Katia; OLIVEIRA, Ivone; DOMINGUEZ, Wagner; JORGETTI, Vanda; MOYSES, Rosa; REIS, Luciene dos- N-Acetyl-l-Cysteine Ameliorations Renal Function Early After Renal Ischemia and Reperfusion; it is not Protective over a Long Term under a High-Sodium Diet in Rats(2023) PEREIRA, Rafael Canavel; ROMAO, Carolina Martinez; CORREA, Beatriz Santos Geoffroy; DOMINGUEZ, Wagner Vasques; FURUKAWA, Luzia Naoko ShinoharaObjective: To evaluate the early and late effects of N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) treatment on renal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) insult in adult Wistar rats influenced by chronic high sodium (HS) intake. Methods: Adult male Wistar rats (8 weeks of age) received an HS (8.0% NaCl) or normal sodium (NS; 1.3% NaCl) diet and NAC (600 mg/L) in drinking water or normal water. At 11 weeks of age, the rats underwent a renal I/R procedure. They followed for 10 weeks after I/R, at the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 10th weeks, in which tail blood pressure (tBP) and renal function were evaluated. And renal renin gene expression was evaluated in the 10th week after I/R. Results: During the study, it was observed that the tBP remained consistently higher in the HS-I/R+water group compared to the NS-I/R+water group. However, in the early weeks following I/R (1st, 2nd, and 4th weeks), the tBP was lower in the HS-I/ R+NAC group than in the HS-I/R+water group. In the 10th week after I/R, the serum creatinine levels were higher in both the HS-I/R+NAC and NS-I/R+NAC groups compared to the HS-I/R+water and NS-I/R+water groups. Conversely, the creatinine clearance was higher in the HS-I/R+NAC group than in the HS-I/R+ group in the 2nd week following I/R. Additionally, the urinary protein levels were higher in the HS-I/R+NAC group than in the NS-I/R+NAC group in the 10th week after I/R. It was also observed that NAC treatment resulted in increased renal renin gene expression in the 10th week following I/R. Conclusions: After renal I/R in animals given HS, NAC treatment was initially effective in lowering blood pressure or increasing creatinine clearance. However, these positive effects did not persist over the long term, resulting in decreased kidney function and increased blood pressure. Furthermore, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system was increased by HS intake, and the benefits of the NS diet were less effective than those of the HS diet. Thus, NAC provides temporary protection only in the early stages following an insult.
