PTHrP Promotes RBP4 Expression Under the Control of PPARγ in the Kidney.

Int J Mol Sci

December 2024

Departamento de Ciencias Básicas de la Salud, Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Avda. de Atenas s/n, 28922 Alcorcón, Madrid, Spain.

Article Synopsis
  • PTHrP and RBP4 are linked to worse kidney disease outcomes, and their relationship with PPARγ, a protective nuclear receptor, was investigated.
  • The study examined levels of these proteins in different mouse models, including controls, diabetics, and those overexpressing PTHrP.
  • Findings indicated that RBP4 and PTHrP levels increase during kidney pathology, suggesting that insulin and PPARγ play crucial roles in regulating their expression to maintain kidney health.

Background/objectives: Dietary protein intake can potentially influence renal function. This study aimed to elucidate the association between dietary protein supplementation and a decrease in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in Japanese stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation.

Methods: From July 2017 to June 2021, 60 patients undergoing post-stroke rehabilitation were randomly assigned to a rehabilitation alone or rehabilitation nutrition group, which received 120 g Reha-Time Jelly after each session.

Simultaneous detection of multiple urinary biomarkers in patients with early-stage diabetic kidney disease using Luminex liquid suspension chip technology.

National Health Commission (NHC) Key Laboratory of Hormones and Development, Tianjin Key Laboratory of Metabolic Diseases, Chu Hsien-I Memorial Hospital & Tianjin Institute of Endocrinology, Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, China.

Background: Several urinary biomarkers have good diagnostic value for diabetic kidney disease (DKD); however, the predictive value is limited with the use of single biomarkers. We investigated the clinical value of Luminex liquid suspension chip detection of several urinary biomarkers simultaneously.

Methods: The study included 737 patients: 585 with diabetes mellitus (DM) and 152 with DKD.

Background: This study aims to analyse changes in urinary kidney injury markers in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP), investigate the risk factors for MPP-related acute kidney injury (AKI) and establish a model to predict MPP-related AKI.

Methods: Ninety-five children were enrolled based on the study's inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were divided into a severe MPP (SMPP) group and a non-SMPP group and then into an AKI group and a non-AKI group according to the presence of AKI.

Objective: To investigate the distribution of nine (9) urine biomarkers in people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with or without microvascular complications.

Methods: In total, 407 people with T2DM were enrolled from 2021 to 2022. According to diabetic retinopathy (DR) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR), the 407 people were divided into four (4) groups, DR(-)UACR(-), DR(+)UACR(-), DR(-)UACR(+), and DR( + )UACR(+).
