PG - 249-256 LID - S0188-4409(19)30828-8 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.arcmed.2019.08.007 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) and its soluble form (suPAR) are new injury biomarkers that have been recently suggested to play a vital role in renal diseases. AIM AND METHODS: We evaluated the expression of uPAR and the serum concentration of suPAR in type 2 diabetes (T(2)DM) patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) to determine the role of this molecule as a biomarker in DKD. The uPAR immunohistochemical staining was performed in biopsy-confirmed DKD renal tissues. Meanwhile, the serum suPAR, Interleukin-18 (IL-18) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels of 70 diabetic patients with or without DKD and 15 healthy controls were measured. RESULTS: The uPAR expression in DKD patients was significantly increased compared to that in healthy controls and was widely colocalized with the podocyte marker WT1. Meanwhile, serum suPAR and IL-18 levels gradually increased as DKD progressed to the advanced stage. Moreover, serum suPAR and IL-18 levels were negatively correlated with eGFR (rho = ‒0.734, rho = ‒0.462, p <0.01) and positively correlated with the urine protein to creatinine ratio (UP/CR) (rho = 0.730, rho = 0.440, p <0.01). The suPAR AUC performed better than the IL-18 AUC for the diagnosis of proteinuria (0.845 vs. 0.753, p <0.01) and the decline of renal function (0.895 vs. 0.796, p <0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The uPAR expressed in the renal tissues of DKD patients. The soluble form of uPAR, suPAR, can be detected in the serum of DKD patients and has a better diagnostic efficiency in the diagnosis of proteinuria and renal dysfunction in patients with T(2)DM than that of IL-18.
