Levels of urinary matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) and renal injuries in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy

Abstract: To determine correlations among the levels of urinary MMP-9 and type-IV collagen, hyperglycemia, urinary protein excretion, and renal injuries in patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy, we measured levels of urinary MMP-9 and protein, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (s-Cr), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and glycohemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in 47 diabetic patients and 14 healthy adults. Urinary type-IV collagen was also measured in 28 diabetic patients and seven healthy adults. Patients with diabetic … Show more

“…The MMP-9 expression level in the clinical DN group was higher than in the early DN group. This was consistent with the conclusions on the research on DN carried out by Tashiro K et al [11], in which the levels of MMP-9 in many albuminuria diabetic patients were significantly higher than that in the normal control group, and this increasing degree was consistent with the clinical staging of the disease. In DN patients, the expression of MMP-9 protein and its catalytic activity increased.…”

“…Whether the increased proteolytic cleavage of ENaC contributes to renal Na + retention in nephrotic syndrome warrants future analysis. The concentration of proteases may also be increased in the urine of diabetic patients [321] which is supported by a recent report that plasmin is increased in the urine of obese, diabetic and hypertensive ZSF1 rats [248]. Thus, it is tempting to speculate that an inappropriate ENaC activation by elevated levels of urinary proteases may contribute to arterial hypertension associated with diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome.…”

“…Importantly, increased MMP-9 in the plasma precedes the development of microalbuminuria in patients without changes in either MMP-1 or TIMP-1 levels (27). This finding is supported by more recent data demonstrating that urinary levels of MMP-9 are elevated in type 2 diabetic patients, and correlated with albuminuria (83). In human diabetic patients, expression of MMP-24 correlated with tubular atrophy (68).…”
