A novel somatostatin analogue prevents early renal complications in the nonobese diabetic mouse

Abstract: GH antagonism by PTR-3173 has a blunting effect on renal/glomerular hypertrophy, albuminuria, and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in diabetic NOD mice. This phenomenon is apparently associated with the prevention of renal IGF-I accumulation. Thus, modulation of GH effects may have beneficial therapeutic implications in diabetic nephropathy.

“…Further, as a novel finding we have demonstrated octreotide treatment to be effective in reducing renal and glomerular growth along with a reduction in GH hypersecretion and increased local kidney IGF-I levels. Similar effects were observed just recently in the NOD mouse using a novel somatostatin analogue (Landau et al 2001). This may provide further evidence for a significant role for GH and IGF-I in diabetic renal growth and morphological changes in experimental diabetes in mice as has previously been demonstrated in diabetic rats.…”

“…Indeed, we and others have previously shown that the inhibition of GH, either by the use of a GHR antagonist [7] or a somatostatin analogue, has protective renal effects in animals with type I DM [8]. In addition, GH administration to diabetic rats had adverse renal effects, such as worsening albuminuria and increased renal IGFBP1 levels, which, as mentioned, may increase the local trapping of IGF-I [9].…”

“…Lean heterozygous and nondiabetic db/N mice were used as controls. All animals were killed 4 weeks after the onset of diabetes mellitus, as previously described [11]. Body weight was measured twice weekly.…”

“…A subset of experiments was performed using a somatostatin analogue (PTR-313: Peptor, Rehovot, Israel) previously described by us as having protective effects on the kidney in a model of type 1 diabetes mellitus [11]. The agent was provided daily over 4 weeks by s.c. injections (1 mg kg −1 day −1 ) to diabetic animals, with control animals receiving the equivalent amount of saline.…”
