چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to examine serum markers of the TNF and Fas pathways for association with cystatin-C based estimated glomerular filtration rate (cC-GFR) in subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and no proteinuria. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS The study group (the 2nd Joslin Kidney Study) comprised patients with T1DM and normoalbuminuria (NA) (n = 363) or microalbuminuria (MA) (n = 304). Impaired renal function (cC-GFR <90 ml/min) was present in only 10% of patients with NA and 36% of those with MA. We measured markers of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) pathway [TNFalpha, soluble TNF receptor 1 (sTNFR1), and 2 (sTNFR2)], its downstream effectors [soluble intercellular and soluble vascular adhesion molecules (sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1), interleukin 8 (IL8/CXCL8), monocytes chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1), and IFNgamma inducible protein-10 (IP10/CXCL10)], the Fas pathway [soluble Fas (sFas) and Fas ligand (sFasL)], CRP, and IL6. RESULTS Of these, TNFalpha, sTNFRs, sFas, sICAM-1, and sIP10 were associated with cC-GFR. However, only the TNF receptors and sFas were associated with cC-GFR in multivariate analysis. Variation in the concentration of the TNF receptors had a much stronger impact on GFR than clinical covariates such as age and albumin excretion. CONCLUSIONS Elevated concentrations of serum markers of the TNFalpha and Fas-pathways are strongly associated with decreased renal function in nonproteinuric type 1 diabetic patients. These effects are independent of those of urinary albumin excretion. Follow-up studies are needed to characterize the role of these markers in early progressive renal function decline.
