PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 130:155642. [PMID: 38759315 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Huangkui capsule (HKC), as an ethanol extract of Abelmoschus manihot (L.), has a significant efficacy in treatment of the patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The bioactive ingredients of HKC mainly include the flavonoids such as rutin, hyperoside, hibifolin, isoquercetin, myricetin, quercetin and quercetin-3-O-robinobioside. PURPOSE To explore the molecular mechanisms of A. manihot in treatment of DKD. STUDY DESIGN A single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of kidneys in db/db mice with and without HKC administration. METHODS Urinary biochemical and histopathological examination in C57BL/6 and db/db mice of DKD and HKC groups was done. Single-cell RNA sequencing pipeline was then performed. The regulatory mechanisms of seven flavonoids in HKC were revealed by cell communication, prediction of transcription factor regulatory network, and molecular docking. RESULTS By constructing ligand-receptor regulatory network and performing molecular docking between 75 receptors with different activities and seven flavonoids. 11 key receptors in 4 cell types (segment 3 proximal convoluted tubular cell, ascending limbs of the loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, and T cell) in kidneys were found to be directly interacted with HKC. The interactions regulated 8 downstream regulons. The docking receptors in T cell led to transcriptional event differences in the regulons such as Cebpb, Rel, Tbx21 and Klf2 and consequently affected the activation, differentiation, and infiltration of T cell, while the receptors Tgfbr1 and Ldlr in stromal cells of kidneys were closely associated with the downstream transcriptional events of renal injury and proteinuria in DKD. CONCLUSION The current study provides novel information of the key receptors and regulons in renal cells for a better understanding of the cell type specific molecular mechanisms of A. manihot in treatment of DKD.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common and severe clinical renal syndromes with high morbidity and mortality. Ferroptosis is a form of programmed cell death (PCD), is characterized by iron overload, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and lipid peroxidation. As ferroptosis has been increasingly studied in recent years, it is closely associated with the pathophysiological process of AKI and provides a target for the treatment of AKI. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, summarizes its role in various AKI models, and explores its interaction with other forms of cell death, it also presents research on ferroptosis in AKI progression to other diseases. Additionally, the review highlights methods for detecting and assessing AKI through the lens of ferroptosis and describes potential inhibitors of ferroptosis for AKI treatment. Finally, the review presents a perspective on the future of clinical AKI treatment, aiming to stimulate further research on ferroptosis in AKI.

Multicentre, retrospective cohort study protocol to identify racial and ethnic differences in acute kidney injuries in children and adolescents with diabetic ketoacidosis. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e086261. [PMID: 38839382 PMCID: PMC11163677 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2024-086261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Approximately 40% of children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) develop acute kidney injury (AKI), which increases the risk of chronic kidney damage. At present, there is limited knowledge of racial or ethnic differences in diabetes-related kidney injury in children with diabetes. Understanding whether such differences exist will provide a foundation for addressing disparities in diabetes care that may continue into adulthood. Further, it is currently unclear which children are at risk to develop worsening or sustained DKA-related AKI. The primary aim is to determine whether race and ethnicity are associated with DKA-related AKI. The secondary aim is to determine factors associated with sustained AKI in children with DKA. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This retrospective, multicentre, cross-sectional study of children with type 1 or type 2 diabetes with DKA will be conducted through the Paediatric Emergency Medicine Collaborative Research Committee. Children aged 2-18 years who were treated in a participating emergency department between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2023 will be included. Children with non-ketotic hyperglycaemic-hyperosmolar state or who were transferred from an outside facility will be excluded. The relevant predictor is race and ethnicity. The primary outcome is the presence of AKI, defined by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. The secondary outcome is 'sustained' AKI, defined as having AKI ≥48 hours, unresolved AKI at last creatinine measurement or need for renal replacement therapy. Statistical inference of the associations between predictors (ie, race and ethnicity) and outcomes (ie, AKI and sustained AKI) will use random effects regression models, accounting for hospital variation and clustering. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The Institutional Review Board of Children's Minnesota approved this study. 12 additional sites have obtained institutional review board approval, and all sites will obtain local approval prior to participation. Results will be presented at local or national conferences and for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Glycoprotein acetyls (GlycA's) are biomarkers of systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease, yet little is known about their role in type 1 diabetes (T1D). In this study we examined the associations among GlycA's, central adiposity, insulin resistance, and early kidney injury in youth with T1D. METHODS Glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow by iohexol and p-aminohippurate clearance, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), central adiposity by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and estimated insulin sensitivity were assessed in 50 youth with T1D (16±3.0 years of age, 50% female, glycated hemoglobin 8.7%±1.3%, T1D duration 5.7±2.6 years). Concentrations of GlycA were quantified by targeted nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Correlation and multivariable linear regression analyses were performed. RESULTS GlycA's were higher in girls vs boys (1.05±0.26 vs 0.84±0.15 mmol/L, p=0.001) and in participants living with overweight/obesity vs normal weight (1.12±0.23 vs 0.87±0.20 mmol/L, p=0.0004). GlycA's correlated positively with estimated intraglomerular pressure (r=0.52, p=0.001), UACR (r=0.53, p<0.0001), and trunk mass (r=0.45, p=0.001), and inversely with estimated insulin sensitivity (r=-0.36, p=0.01). All relationships remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, and glycated hemoglobin. CONCLUSIONS As biomarkers of inflammation, GlycA's were higher in girls and those with overweight or obese body habitus in T1D. GlycA's associated with parameters of early kidney dysfunction, central adiposity, and insulin resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The objective of this study was to explore the association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and cardiovascular risk factors in the Indian population. METHODS AND RESULTS This was a cross-sectional, population-based study. The study enrolled adults aged 20 years and above residing in rural, sub-urban, and urban. All participants completed a detailed questionnaire, underwent anthropometric measurements, and had blood samples collected. Participants were divided into three tertiles based on their SUA concentrations. A total of 2976 participants were included in this study, with 865 from rural, 1030 from sub-urban, and 1081 from urban populations. The mean values of cardiovascular risk factors were significantly higher in tertile 3 (p < 0.001) as compared to the other tertiles. However, we observed a negative trend between the increase of SUA and SUA/Scr ratio and HbA1c levels (Pearson correlation r = -0.068; p < 0.001 and r = -0.140; p < 0.001, respectively). The healthy and prediabetic groups did not show any significant change in HbA1c with increasing SUA levels, while an inverse trend was observed in diabetics. In the diabetic population, both men and women showed an inverse trend between increasing SUA levels and HbA1c in both known and newly diagnosed diabetes (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The study found a positive association between SUA levels and cardiovascular risk factors. However, HbA1c was inversely correlated with increasing SUA tertiles in both known and newly diagnosed diabetes, as compared to the general population. Additionally, both men and women with diabetes consistently showed an inverse relationship between increasing SUA/SCr ratio and HbA1c levels.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are public health problems that cause a high socioeconomic burden worldwide. In recent years, the landscape of AKI etiology has shifted: Emerging evidence has demonstrated that DM is an independent risk factor for the onset of AKI, while an alternative perspective considers AKI as a bona fide complication of DM. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically characterize the features of AKI in DM. In this review, we summarized the epidemiology of AKI in DM. While focusing on circulation- and tissue-specific microenvironment changes after DM, we described the active cellular and molecular mechanisms of increased kidney susceptibility to AKI under DM stress. We also reviewed the current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for AKI in DM recommended in the clinic. Updated recognition of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and medications of AKI in DM is believed to reveal a path to mitigate the frequency of AKI and DM comorbidity that will ultimately improve the quality of life in DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One-third of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus manifest with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Most children presenting with DKA are in a volume-depleted state, leading to acute kidney injury (AKI). Besides volume depletion, hyperglycemia can induce tubular injury and kidney inflammation. Therefore, a thorough knowledge of incidence of AKI, risk factors, and outcomes in pediatric DKA is desirable to improve its management and outcomes. OBJECTIVE To synthesize currently available evidence on the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in children with DKA. DATA SOURCES We searched three electronic databases (EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science) from inception to September 2022 for original studies reporting AKI in children with DKA. Search strategies for the individual databases were drafted using free text words and MeSH incorporating "acute kidney injury" and "diabetic ketoacidosis." STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Cohort and cross-sectional studies reporting AKI in children with type 1 DM and DKA were included. PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTIONS Children (aged less than 18 years) with type 1 DM and DKA. STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS METHODS The critical appraisal tool of NHLBI for cohort studies was used to assess the quality of the studies. We estimated the pooled incidence of AKI with 95% CI in children with DKA using a random effects model. The primary outcome was the pooled incidence of AKI during the DKA episodes. RESULTS Twenty-one studies assessing 4087 children (4500 DKA episodes) reported AKI during DKA episodes. The pooled incidence of any stage of AKI during the DKA episode was 47% (95% CI: 40 to 55). Severe AKI was observed in 28% (21 to 35) of DKA episodes; however, only 4% (1 to 11%) of children with AKI received dialysis. Low serum bicarbonate, low corrected sodium, higher blood sugar, and high blood urea nitrogen at presentation have been reported to be associated with the development of AKI. CONCLUSION AKI developed in almost half of the DKA episodes, and every fourth DKA episode was associated with severe AKI. The recovery rate from DKA-associated AKI appears to be high; however, further studies are needed to assess the exact impact of AKI on long-term outcomes. REGISTRATION PROSPERO (CRD42022303200).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The high-temperature requirement A 1 (HtrA1) is a multidomain secretory protein with serine-protease activity, expressed in many tissues, including placenta, where its expression is higher in the first trimester, suggesting an association of this serine protease in early phases of human placenta development. In this study, we evaluated maternal serum HtrA1 levels in the first and third trimester of gestation. In particular, we evaluated a possible role of HtrA1 as an early marker of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the first trimester of gestation. METHODS We evaluated HtrA1 serum levels in the third trimester (36-40 weeks) in normal pregnancies (n = 20) and GDM pregnancies (n = 20) by using ELISA analysis. Secondly, we performed the same analysis by using the first trimester sera (10-12 weeks) of healthy pregnant women that will develop a normal pregnancy (n = 210) or GDM (n = 28) during pregnancy. RESULTS We found that HtrA1 serum levels in the third trimester were higher in pregnancies complicated by GDM. Interestingly, higher HtrA1 serum levels were also found in the first trimester in women developing GDM later during the second-third trimester. No significant differences in terms of maternal age and gestational age were found between cases and controls. Women with GDM shown significantly higher pre-pregnancy BMI values compared to controls. Moreover, the probability of GDM occurrence significantly increased with increasing HtrA1 levels and BMI values. The ROC curve showed a good accuracy in predicting GDM, with an AUC of 0.74 (95%CI: 0.64-0.92). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest an important role of HtrA1 as an early predictive marker of GDM in the first trimester of gestation, showing a significative clinical relevance for prevention of this disease.

[PMID: 36227434 PMCID: PMC10060302 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-022-05735-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2022] [Revised: 08/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycaemia without ketoacidosis are common acute complications of diabetes. Their association with acute kidney injury (AKI) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) was studied. METHODS The study group consisted of 197 children with type 1 diabetes with average diabetes duration of 8.08 ± 2.32 years. The medical history of the patients was retrospectively reviewed. The number of children with severe hyperglycaemia, DKA and AKI was assessed. The association with the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was analysed. RESULTS AKI was found in 14% of cases hospitalised for DKA and 8% of cases hospitalised for hyperglycaemia. Patients with AKI showed a significantly increased corrected sodium (141.23 ± 5.09 mmol/L, p = 0.035). Patients with AKI in DKA showed a significant increase in WBC (20.73 ± 8.71 × 103/µL, p = 0.0009). Follow-up analysis after a minimum of 5 years of diabetes revealed that a single episode of DKA was found in 63 patients and a single episode of AKI in 18 patients. Two or more episodes of DKA were found in 18 patients, and nine cases were complicated by AKI. These patients showed a significant increase in urinary albumin excretion (44.20 ± 64.21 mg/24 h), the highest values of eGFR and the worst glycaemic control. CONCLUSIONS Diabetic children can develop AKI in the course of DKA and hyperglycaemia without ketoacidosis, which is associated with volume depletion and reflected by corrected sodium concentration. AKI in DKA seems to be complicated by stress and inflammation activation. AKI and poor glycaemic control with repeated DKA episodes can magnify the risk of progression to DKD.

Determinants of acute kidney injury in children with new onset type 1 diabetes: A cohort study of children aged <15 years: Auckland, New Zealand (2006–2016). Endocrinol Diabetes Metab 2022; 5:e362. [PMID: 35927794 PMCID: PMC9471584 DOI: 10.1002/edm2.362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) may contribute to the risk of diabetic kidney disease, however, there have been limited studies of the incidence of AKI in well‐defined populations of children with type 1 diabetes. The aim was to quantify AKI in children presenting with new onset type 1 diabetes from the regional paediatric diabetes service, Auckland, New Zealand. Research Design and Methods A retrospective analysis of a prospectively identified cohort study of children and adolescents presenting from 2006 to 2016 with type 1 diabetes aged <15 years. AKI was defined using Kidney Disease/Improving Global Outcomes serum creatinine criteria. Results There were 586 subjects: 52% male, with mean (SD) age 8.9 (3.8) years, with 151(25.8%) in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). AKI was present in 47%, 278/586, AKI was increased in those with DKA (125/151 (83%) DKA vs. 153/435 (35%) no‐DKA). Univariable analysis showed that increased HbA1c, higher glucose levels, lower BMI SDS, lower bicarbonate and pH levels were all associated with AKI (p < .001). In multivariable analysis, AKI was associated with DKA and higher glucose levels independently. The majority of cases were stage 1 (203/278 [73%]), or stage 2 AKI 62/278 (22%). 13/278 (5%) had severe, Stage 3 AKI, and all presented in DKA (13/151 (8%) vs. 0/435 (0%) without DKA, p < .001). Conclusion In this regional paediatric, cohort AKI is a common complication of children presenting with new onset type 1 diabetes. AKI is independently associated with higher glucose levels and DKA, and all cases of Stage 3 AKI were associated with DKA. In this regional paediatric cohort AKI is a common complication of children presenting with new onset type 1 diabetes. AKI is independently associated with higher glucose levels and DKA, and all cases of Stage 3 AKI were associated with DKA.

High Glycated Hemoglobin Instead of High Body Mass Index Might Increase the Urine N-Acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase Con-Centration in Children and Adolescents with Diabetes Mellitus. LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:life12060879. [PMID: 35743910 PMCID: PMC9225163 DOI: 10.3390/life12060879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Children with diabetes, and particularly those with obesity, have poor glycemic control. They are thus at higher risk of early microvascular complications. Renal tubulointerstitial markers are integral to evaluating diabetic nephropathy. Various biomarkers have been proposed, but their role in the obese pediatric population is uncertain. We investigated renal injury markers in children with diabetes, according to obesity, and determined their role as early predictors of diabetic nephropathy. Fifty-three children and adolescents, diagnosed with either type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus, and 43 control children, aged 7-18 years, were included. Clinical and laboratory characteristics, including six renal injury markers, were compared among subjects according to body mass index and presence of diabetes mellitus. Urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, kidney injury molecule-1, and N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) showed significant difference between controls and diabetic children, whereas urine NAG was the only biomarker that was significantly lower either in non-obese or obese controls as compared to diabetic children. Urine NGAL, KIM-1, and NAG showed significant correlations with both HbA1c and urine ACR, whereas only urine NAG was significantly correlated with HbA1c even when groups were subdivided based on the presence of either obesity or diabetes. After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, duration of known diabetes, and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, HbA1c remained a significant risk factor for elevated urine NAG. Urine NAG could be a useful indicator of tubulointerstitial damage in children with diabetes in the pre-albuminuric state. Tighter glycemic control appears to be crucial for avoiding early progression to diabetic nephropathy.
