Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies evaluating the association between monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) -2518 A > G (rs1024611) polymorphism and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) are contradictory. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and more reliable estimation of the relationship between the MCP-1 rs1024611 polymorphism and T2DM and DN risk. METHODS Eligible articles were retrieved from the PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. The effect summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained to calculate the summary effect size. Heterogeneity was analyzed by subgroup analysis and meta-regression. Publication bias was tested using funnel plots and Egger's test. RESULTS In total, sixteen studies were included. Thirteen studies involving 2,363 patients with T2DM and 4,650 healthy controls found no significant association between the MCP-1 rs1024611 polymorphism and T2DM in the overall population. Ethnicity stratification found an association between the GG + GA genotype and decreased T2DM risk in Caucasians (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.66-0.93, P = 0.006; PQ = 0.372). No significant risks were found in the Asian population for any genetic models. Seven studies found an association between the GG + GA genotype and DN risk in the Asian population (OR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.11-1.71, P = 0.004, PQ = 0.222). No significant risks were found in the Caucasian population with any genetic models. There were no statistically significant differences in genotype distribution between patients with T2DM and DN in Asians or Caucasians. Meta-regression revealed that genotyping method was a major driver of heterogeneity in five genetic models (GG + GA vs. AA: P = 0.032; GG vs. GA + AA: P = 0.028; GG vs. AA: P = 0.035; GG vs. GA: P = 0.041; G vs. A: P = 0.041). CONCLUSION The MCP-1 rs1024611 polymorphism is associated with susceptibility to T2DM in Caucasians and DN in Asians. Larger, well-designed cohort studies are needed in the future to verify this association.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its secondary complications result from the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. To understand the role of these factors on disease susceptibility, the present study was conducted to assess the association of eNOS and MCP-1 variants with T2D and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in two ethnically and geographically different cohorts from North India. A total of 1313 subjects from two cohorts were genotyped for eNOS (rs2070744, rs869109213 and rs1799983) and MCP-1 (rs1024611 and rs3917887) variants. Cohort-I (Punjab) comprised 461 T2D cases (204 T2D with DN and 257 T2D without DN) and 315 healthy controls. Cohort-II (Jammu and Kashmir) included 337 T2D (150 T2D with DN and 187 T2D without DN) and 200 controls. Allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies were compared among the studied participants, and phenotype-genotype interactions were determined. Meta-analysis was performed to investigate the association between the selected variants and disease susceptibility. All three eNOS variants were associated with 1.5-4.0-fold risk of DN in both cohorts. MCP-1 rs1024611 conferred twofold risk towards DN progression in cohort-II, while rs3917887 provided twofold risk for both T2D and DN in both cohorts. eNOS and MCP-1 haplotypes conferred risk for T2D and DN susceptibility. Phenotype-genotype interactions showed significant associations between the studied variants and anthropometric and biochemical parameters. In meta-analysis, all eNOS variants conferred risk towards DN progression, whereas no significant association was observed for MCP-1 rs1024611. We show evidences for an association of eNOS and MCP-1 variants with T2D and DN susceptibility.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) has been the leading cause of chronic kidney disease for over 20 years. Yet, over these two decades, the clinical approach to this condition has not much improved beyond the administration of glucose-lowering agents, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers for blood pressure control, and lipid-lowering agents. The proportion of diabetic patients who develop DKD and progress to end-stage renal disease has remained nearly the same. This unmet need for DKD treatment is caused by the complex pathophysiology of DKD, and the difficulty of translating treatment from bench to bed, which further adds to the growing argument that DKD is not a homogeneous disease. To better capture the full spectrum of DKD in our design of treatment regimens, we need improved diagnostic tools that can better distinguish the subgroups within the condition. For instance, DKD is typically placed in the broad category of a non-inflammatory kidney disease. However, genome-wide transcriptome analysis studies consistently indicate the inflammatory signaling pathway activation in DKD. This review will utilize human data in discussing the potential for redefining the role of inflammation in DKD. We also comment on the therapeutic potential of targeted anti-inflammatory therapy for DKD.

Abstract
A critical link between metabolic disorders and a form of low-grade systemic and chronic inflammation has been recently established and named 'Metaflammation'. Metaflammation has been recognized as a key mediator of both microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes and as a significant contributor to the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The goal of this review is to summarize the contribution of diabetes-induced inflammation and the related signaling pathways to diabetic complications, with a particular focus on how innate immunity and lipid metabolism influence each other.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children has risen significantly, owing to the worldwide childhood obesity epidemic in the last two decades. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is closely linked to sedentary lifestyle, increased body mass index, and visceral adiposity. In addition, individual genetic variations also have a role in the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the gene polymorphisms of MCP-1 (-2518 A/G) (rs1024611), CCR-2 (190 G/A) (rs1799864), ABCA1 (883 G/A) (rs4149313), and IL-17A (-197 G/A) (rs2275913) in obese Turkish children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. METHODS The study recruited 186 obese children aged 10-17 years, including 101 children with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and 85 children without non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Anthropometric measurements, insulin resistance, a liver panel, a lipid profile, liver ultrasound examination, and genotyping of the four variants were performed. RESULTS No difference was found between the groups in respect to age and gender, body mass index, waist/hip ratio, or body fat ratio. In addition to the elevated ALT levels, AST and GGT levels were found significantly higher in the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease group compared to the non non-alcoholic fatty liver disease group (p<0.05). The A-allele of IL-17A (-197 G/A) (rs2275913) was associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (odds ratio [OR] 2.05, 95% confidence interval: 1.12-3.77, p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest that there may be an association between IL-17A (-197 G/A) (rs2275913) polymorphism and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease development in obese Turkish children.

Abstract
In an ideal world, every condition would have a sensitive and specific marker that could be measured in a noninvasive or minimally invasive way. Instead, the medical community depends on invasive biomarkers, which carry inherent risks, to make a diagnosis and plan treatment. In this review article, the current state of research into biomarkers for a range of kidney diseases is discussed, beginning with those biomarkers that are already in clinical use and then moving to conditions for which no validated biomarker yet exists. This review focusses on diabetic nephropathy at the proteinuric end of the spectrum and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis at the nephritic end. An interesting feature is that the same biomarker, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1, also known as CCL2), has been identified as a potential target in both conditions, which suggests a shared pathogenic process that results in two very distinct clinical presentations. One of the major limiting features of research into this area, particularly for ANCA-associated vasculitis, is the recruitment of a sufficient number of patients to generate strong enough evidence to justify the biomarker’s routine use; this overlap in biomarkers may enable research in one condition to be applied more generally. In addition to their role as biomarkers, these molecules are also therapeutic targets, and some early research has been carried out to investigate this. Overall, this review brings together research from diverse fields to focus attention on the outstanding areas and the future areas that warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that chemokines play an important role in the development of chronic inflammation in adipose tissue, obesity pathogenesis, glucose intolerance and type 2 diabetes. It has also been revealed that some SNPs in chemokine genes are associated with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and diabetes complications in different ethnic groups. The aim of this study was to determine the associations between SNPs in chemokine genes and type 2 diabetes in participants of Tatar ethnic group, living in Bashkortostan. Case-control and cross-sectional study were included in our study design. Five SNPs were genotyped in 440 type 2 diabetes (160 men and 280 women), 58.8 ± 9.2 years old (mean ± SD), BMI 29.3 ± 3.9 kg/m2 (mean ± SD) patients of Tatar ethnicity, and a control group of 500 Tatars (180 men and 320 women), 55.2 ± 11.6 years old (mean ± SD), BMI 25.9 ± 4.3 kg/m2 (mean ± SD). The SNPs rs6749704 in CCL20 [odds ratio (OR) = 2.77 (95% CI 1.81-4.25), р = 0.0001], rs2107538 in CCL5 [odds ratio (OR) = 1.80 (95% CI 1.46-2.22), p = 0.0001] were significantly associated with type 2 diabetes. Regression analysis revealed that rs1696941 in CCL11 was associated with the onset age and duration of type 2 diabetes as well as with HbA1c level (p = 0.034, p = 0.036 and p = 0.0054, respectively). The SNPs rs223828 in CCL17 and rs6749704 in CCL20 were correlated with obesity as estimated by BMI (p = 0.0004, p = 0.029, respectively). Rs223828 in CCL17 revealed the association with postprandial glucose level (p = 0.024) and HbA1c (p = 0.008). These data demonstrate that variants of chemokine genes are associated with type 2 diabetes and obesity of Tatar ethnic group inhabiting Bashkortostan Republic. Novel associations of the polymorphic loci in CCL20 (rs6749704) and CCL5 (rs2107538) genes with type 2 diabetes had been identified as a result of the conducted research.

Abstract
Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). MCP-1 2518 A>G gene polymorphism is associated with MCP-1 status. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the association between MCP-1 2518 A>G gene polymorphism and CKD risk. The eligible studies regarding the relationship between MCP-1 2518 A>G gene polymorphism and CKD risk were searched through electronic databases. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by using a fixed-effects model, or in the presence of heterogeneity, a random-effects model. A total of 2415 cases and 2011 controls were recruited in our investigation. A allele/GG genotype was not associated with CKD risk in overall populations, Asians, Caucasians, and Africans. AA/AG genotype was not associated with the risk of CKD in overall populations, Asians, Caucasians, and Africans. AA genotype was associated with a lower risk of CKD in Caucasians (OR 0.816, 95% CI 0.703-0.947). AG genotype was associated with a higher risk of CKD in Caucasians (OR 1.230, 95% CI 1.042-1.452). There was no marked publication bias. In conclusion, AA genotype may be a protective factor against CKD susceptibility in Caucasians. AG genotype may be a risk factor for CKD risk in Caucasians. However, more studies are needed in the future.

Abstract
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody- (ANCA-) associated vasculitis (AAV) are relapsing-remitting disorders with unpredictable prognosis. There is a need of biomarkers for distinguishing which patients will have a more severe outcome and also for predicting relapses in disease activity. This study confirms the previous results of urinary MCP-1 (uMCP-1) as a prognostic marker and explores its potential as a marker of disease activity. Method. 114 patients with AAV were followed regularly between 2002 and 2011 at Skåne University Hospital. Urine samples, blood samples, and clinical status were registered. The urine samples were analyzed in an in-house-developed ELISA. PCR-RLFP was used to analyze the MCP-1 and CCR2 genes. Results. Patients with severe prognosis had significantly higher levels of uMCP-1 compared to patients with nonsevere prognosis and healthy controls. Patients with renal damage had higher levels compared to patients who did not have renal damage. There was also a tendency of higher uMCP-1 levels in active disease as compared to remission. AA in the -2518 position in the MCP-1 gene was associated with a more severe outcome compared to the A/G or the G/G genotype. The A/A genotype were also associated with higher levels of uMCP-1. No significant associations were seen for the CCR2-V64I. Conclusion. This study confirmed the connection between high uMCP-1 levels and poor prognosis and also disease activity. It also suggests an association of the A/A genotype at position -2518 in the MCP-1 gene and poor prognosis in AAV. uMCP-1 is clearly a candidate biomarker of potential clinical value. The A/A genotype association needs further evaluation.

Abstract
Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common complication after solid organ transplantation, especially in recipients treated with calcineurin inhibitors. Previous studies suggest that chronic inflammation and chemokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can increase or decrease transcriptional activity and can change the production of chemokines. The aim of this study was to examine the association between CCL2 and CCL5 gene polymorphisms and the development of post-transplant diabetes mellitus. The study included 315 patients who received kidney transplants and were treated with calcineurin inhibitors. Patients were divided into two subgroups: with PTDM (n=43) and without PTDM (n=272). An additive model of univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the hazard of PTDM development was significantly positively associated with the number of CCL2 rs1024611 G alleles (HR 1.65; 95%CI 1.08-2.53; p=0.021). Multivariate Cox regression analysis, taking into the account the recipient's sex, age and BMI, as well as the number of G alleles of the CCL2 rs1024611 polymorphism, revealed that this polymorphism is an independent risk factor for post-transplant diabetes. The results of our study suggest an association between the CCL2 gene rs1024611 G allele and PTDM in patients treated with tacrolimus or cyclosporine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a member of CC chemokine that plays an important role in the recruitment of monocytes/macrophages into renal tubulointerstitium. A biallelic A/G polymorphism at position ∼2518 in the MCP-1 gene was found to regulate MCP-1 expression. MCP-1 and its A/G gene polymorphism have been implicated in the pathogenesis of some renal diseases. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of the MCP-1 gene polymorphism as early predictors of the development of glomerulonephropathy in SLE patients. We also aimed to measure the serum and urinary levels of MCP-1 in patients with SLE, to find out its relation to clinical disease activity. METHODS 140 SLE patients (100 with nephritis and 40 without nephritis) and 80 controls were included in this study. MCP-1 gene polymorphism was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction. Serum and urine MCP-1 level were measured using high-sensitivity enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The A/A genotype was more common in controls than in SLE patients, whereas both the A/G (P<0.000) and G/G (P<0.000) genotypes were more frequent in SLE patients. Carriers of G allele of the MCP-1 ∼2518 polymorphism had more than 7 fold increased risk to develop glomerulo-nephropathy in patients with SLE. High MCP-1 circulating levels production from patients with A/G and G/G genotypes was significantly higher than in A/A genotype. In addition there were significant differences in the mean levels of serum MCP-1 (P<0.001) and urinary MCP-1 (P<0.001) between patients and controls. CONCLUSION The present study provides a new evidence that the presence of MCP-1 A (-2518) G gene polymorphism and high circulating MCP-1 levels can play an important role in the development of SLE and nephropathy in Egyptians.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays a major role in the pathogenesis and progression of different types of human renal disease. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of MCP-1 gene -2518 A>G promoter polymorphism in chronic renal failure (CRF) patients requiring long-term hemodialysis. METHODS The study population consisted of 201 adult CRF patients requiring long-term hemodialysis and 194 healthy controls. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was used for genotyping of MCP-1 -2518 A>G polymorphism in the CRF patients and healthy controls. RESULTS There were statistically significant differences in terms of genotypic (χ (2) = 12.69, p = 0.02) and allelic (χ (2) = 5.72, p = 0.02) frequencies of MCP-1 -2518 A>G between CRF patients and control subjects. According to our results, in the patient group MCP-1 -2518 AA genotype frequency was significantly higher than that of control group. On the other hand, heterozygous AG genotype frequency in the control group was significantly higher than that of the study group. Three different main disease subgroups of CRF (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and atherosclerosis) patients were also evaluated, and significant associations were found between hypertension (genotype: χ (2) = 9.28, p = 0.01; allele: χ (2) = 6.00, p = 0.01), atherosclerosis (genotype: χ (2) = 5.37, p = 0.02; allele: χ (2) = 4.13, p = 0.04), and distributions of MCP-1 -2518 A>G genotypes and alleles. However, no significant association was found between diabetes mellitus and distributions of MCP-1 -2518 A>G genotype and allele frequencies (genotype: χ (2) = 2.37, p = 0.3; allele: χ (2) = 1.88, p = 0.17). CONCLUSION Current data show that MCP-1 -2518 AA genotype may cause susceptibility to CRF, while G allele may have a protective effect against development of CRF. In addition, MCP-1 -2518 AA genotype seems to associate with CRF originated from hypertension and atherosclerosis in our study population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major microvascular complication that develops in nearly 20-30% of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and is currently the leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a potent chemokine secreted by adipocytes, has been implicated as a causal factor in the progression of vascular complications in T2D, thus MCP-1 appears to be a promising candidate for association study. AIM The objective of the present study is to evaluate the association, if any, of g.-2518A>G polymorphism (rs1024611) in MCP-1 gene in T2D cases with and without ESRD in the population of Punjab from North-West India. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 571 samples from Punjab comprising 350 T2D cases (145 with ESRD and 205 without ESRD) and 221 controls were genotyped for g.-2518A>G MCP-1 polymorphism using amplification refractory mutation system- polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS The frequency of G allele was observed to be higher in T2D cases with ESRD (34.49%) compared to T2D cases without ESRD (24.39%) and controls (31.67%). Under the dominant model, G allele increased the risk of ESRD by 1.68-fold [p = 0.047, OR = 1.68 (1.0-2.79) at 95% CI]. CONCLUSION MCP-1 -2518 GG genotype and G allele may increase the risk of progression to ESRD in T2D cases.

Abstract
By using pseudorabies virus expressing green fluorescence protein, we found that efferent bone marrow-neural connections trace to sympathetic centers of the central nervous system in normal mice. However, this was markedly reduced in type 1 diabetes, suggesting a significant loss of bone marrow innervation. This loss of innervation was associated with a change in hematopoiesis toward generation of more monocytes and an altered diurnal release of monocytes in rodents and patients with type 1 diabetes. In the hypothalamus and granular insular cortex of mice with type 1 diabetes, bone marrow-derived microglia/macrophages were activated and found at a greater density than in controls. Infiltration of CD45(+)/CCR2(+)/GR-1(+)/Iba-1(+) bone marrow-derived monocytes into the hypothalamus could be mitigated by treatment with minocycline, an anti-inflammatory agent capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. Our studies suggest that targeting central inflammation may facilitate management of microvascular complications.

Abstract
AIMS Inflammatory markers play an important role in the development of diseases related to metabolic syndrome, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD). The present study evaluates the association of -2518A>G polymorphism in the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene with T2D and CAD. RESULTS The frequency of the G allele is greater in CAD cases (35%) as compared to T2D (24.6%) and controls (31%), while the frequency of the A allele is higher in T2D cases (75.4%) as compared to CAD cases (65%) and controls (69%). The analysis has revealed that in comparison to T2D cases, the G allele increases the risk of CAD by 1.9-fold (p=0.008; odds ratio [OR]=1.9, 1.18-3.06 at 95% confidence interval [CI]) but in comparison to controls the G-allele provided protection against T2D (p=0.011; OR=0.55, 0.35-0.87 at 95% CI), both under the dominant model (AG+GG vs. AA). CONCLUSION Results of the present study suggests that G-allele of MCP-1 -2518A>G polymorphism is associated with reduced risk of T2D and increased risk of CAD in the population of Punjab. The results indicate that there is a difference in the association of risk alleles with phenotypes of metabolic syndrome. Body mass index and waist circumference are important risk factors for T2D in the population of Punjab.

Abstract
PURPOSE Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a chemokine that can increase adhesion molecule expression on monocytes and produce superoxide anions. Hyperglycemia induces MCP-1 production in vascular endothelial cells and retinal pigmented epithelial cells, and has been implicated as a causal factor in the facilitation of vascular complications in diabetes. In the present study, we evaluated the association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the MCP-1 gene with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in a Korean population with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a case-control study, which enrolled 590 subjects with type 2 diabetes, and SNP genotyping of c.2518A/G in the MCP-1 gene was performed using polymerase chain reaction followed by digestion with PvuII restriction enzyme. RESULTS The prevalence of c.2518A/G polymorphism in diabetic patients was 13.2% (A/A), 47.1% (A/G) and 39.7% (G/G). In patients with diabetic retinopathy, the prevalence of PDR was significantly higher (p=0.009) in diabetic subjects with the c.2518A/A genotype (35.9%; n=78) compared to those with either the A/G or G/G genotype (22.3%, n=512). The prevalence of any other micro and macro-complications, including nephropathy and cerebrovascular events, were not different according to the c.2518A/G genotype. CONCLUSION Our new genetic findings suggest that the c.2518A/A genotype in MCP-1 could be used as a susceptibility gene to predispose Koreans exhibiting type 2 diabetes for the development of PDR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia could accelerate monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) production in monocytes and vascular endothelial cells. Recently, a genetic polymorphism (-2518 A/G) located in MCP-1 gene promoter has been found that could influence the expression of MCP-1. A large cohort study of Caucasians reported that MCP-1 G-2518 gene variant was negatively correlated with the prevalence of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. However, it is unclear whether this polymorphism is associated with type 2 diabetes in Han Chinese. METHODS We conducted a population-based case-control study of 416 type 2 diabetes cases and 416 controls. RESULTS Compared with the wild genotype AA, MCP-1 G-2518 gene variant could significantly decrease the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Han Chinese (adjusted OR=0.49, 95% CI 0.32-0.77, P<0.0001). The results of stratified analyses indicated that a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes related with variant genotypes was evident in younger participants (age ≤50) (adjusted OR=0.35, 95% CI 0.20-0.61, P<0.0001), and similar results were observed in males (adjusted OR=0.37, 95% CI 0.21-0.66, P=0.001) and urban participants (adjusted OR=0.35, 95% CI 0.21-0.58, P<0.0001). In addition, a statistically significant difference was observed between MCP-1-2518 A/G polymorphism and waist to hip ratio. CONCLUSIONS Our present pilot study indicated that MCP-1 G-2518 gene variant could significantly decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes in a Chinese population.

Abstract
Tissue macrophage accumulation is thought to induce insulin resistance during obesity and stimulate the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The objective of this study was to investigate genotypic and allelic frequencies of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene polymorphism in the healthy and patients with and without DN. The MCP-1 genotypes were determined in 43 patients with nephropathy and 43 without nephropathy and a control group of 105 healthy individuals. The genotype MCP-1 (-2518G/A) distribution did differ between the control group and the type 2 diabetic patients (P = 0.004). The frequency of the polymorphic G allele was also no similar for the group with type 2 diabetes as for the control group with 20.9 and 32.4%, respectively (P = 0.012). The AA genotype and A allele at MCP-1 -2518 was an independent risk factor for the progression of type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, MCP-1 AA genotype and A allele may play a specific role(s) in determining diabetic susceptibility, but do not seem to be important in the clinical manifestations of DN.

Abstract
Approximately a third of patients with diabetes develop diabetic kidney disease, and diabetes is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in most developed countries. Hyperglycaemia is known to activate genes that ultimately lead to extracellular matrix accumulation, the hallmark of diabetic nephropathy. Several transcription factors have been implicated in glucose-mediated expression of genes involved in diabetic nephropathy. This review focuses on the transcription factors upstream stimulatory factors 1 and 2 (USF1 and 2), activator protein 1 (AP-1), nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, cAMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB), nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), and stimulating protein 1 (Sp1). In response to high glucose, several of these transcription factors regulate the gene encoding the profibrotic cytokine transforming growth factor beta, as well as genes for a range of other proteins implicated in inflammation and extracellular matrix turnover, including thrombospondin 1, the chemokine CCL2, osteopontin, fibronectin, decorin, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 and aldose reductase. Identifying the molecular mechanisms by which diabetic nephropathy occurs has important clinical implications as therapies can then be tailored to target those at risk. Strategies to specifically target transcription factor activation and function may be employed to halt the progression of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Background Inflammatory cytokine genes have been proposed as good candidate genes for conferring susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy. In the present study, we examined the combined effect of multiple alleles of pro inflammatory cytokine genes for determining the risk of nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients. Methodology/Principal Findings Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of pro-inflammatory cytokine genes (CCL2, TGFB1, IL8, CCR5, and MMP9) were genotyped in two independently ascertained type 2 diabetic cohorts with (DN) and without nephropathy (DM); consisting of patients from North India (n = 495) and South India (n = 188). Genotyping was carried out using PCR, allele specific oligonucleotide-PCR (ASO-PCR), PCR-RFLP and TaqMan allelic discrimination assays and the gene–gene interaction among genetic variants were determined by multi dimensional reduction (MDR) software. Serum high sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) levels were measured by ELISA. The hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in DN as compared to the DM group (p<0.05). The CCL2, IL8, CCR5 and MMP9 polymorphisms were found to be associated with the risk of diabetic nephropathy. Frequency of CCL2 II, IL8 -251AA, CCR5 59029AA and MMP9 279Gln/Gln genotypes were significantly higher in DN than in DM group (p<0.05) and associated with an increased risk of nephropathy in both North and South Indian cohorts. CCR5 DD and IL8 -251AA genotypes were more prevalent in North Indian DN group only. The co-occurrence of risk associated genotypes (II, -2518GG (CCL2), DD (CCR5) and 279Gln/Gln (MMP9) conferred a tenfold increased risk of nephropathy among type 2 diabetics (p<0.0002). Conclusion The present study highlights that common variants of inflammatory cytokine genes exert a modest effect on risk of DN and a combination of risk alleles confer a substantial increased risk of nephropathy in type 2 diabetes among Asian Indians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both environmental and genetic factors contribute to the development and progression of chronic kidney disease. The completion of the human genome sequence and advances in genomic technology make possible identification of gene variants associated with renal failure. OBJECTIVE This review discusses the relevant genetic studies in chronic kidney disease, with particular emphasis on the most common causes of end stage renal failure, diabetic nephropathy and glomerulonephritis. METHODS Most of the studies presented were performed in recent years and employed association studies, both population-based and with candidate genes, as well as the genome-wide association and genome-wide scan approaches. RESULTS/CONCLUSION Increasing evidence supports an important role of genetic susceptibility in the development and progression of renal failure. Identification of disease genes will allow the identification of patients at high risk and the development of new strategies to prevent or delay the renal disease process.

Abstract
Despite current therapies, many diabetic patients will suffer from declining renal function in association with progressive kidney inflammation. Recently, animal model studies have demonstrated that kidney macrophage accumulation is a critical factor in the development of diabetic nephropathy. However, specific anti-inflammatory strategies are not yet being considered for the treatment of patients with diabetic renal injury. This review highlights the chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)/CC-chemokine ligand 2 as a major promoter of inflammation, renal injury, and fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy. Researchers have found that diabetes induces kidney MCP-1 production and that urine MCP-1 levels can be used to assess renal inflammation in this disease. In addition, genetic deletion and molecular blocking studies in rodents have identified MCP-1 as an important therapeutic target for treating diabetic nephropathy. Evidence also suggests that a polymorphism in the human MCP-1 gene is associated with progressive kidney failure in type 2 diabetes, which may identify patients at higher risk who need additional therapy. These findings provide a strong rationale for developing specific therapies against MCP-1 and inflammation in diabetic nephropathy.
