چکیده

Whereas it is generally perceived to be harmful, enhanced coagulation activation can also convey salutary effects. The high prevalence of the prothrombotic factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation in whites has been attributed to a positive selection pressure (eg, resulting from reduced blood loss or improved survival in sepsis). The consequences of enhanced coagulation activation, as observed in FVL carriers, on microvascular diabetic complications remain unknown. We therefore investigated the role of FVL in diabetic nephropathy. In heterozygous or homozygous diabetic FVL mice, albuminuria and indices of diabetic nephropathy were reduced compared with diabetic wild-type mice. This was associated with reduced glomerular apoptosis and preservation of podocytes in diabetic FVL-positive mice. In vitro, low-dose thrombin (50pM) prevented, whereas high-dose thrombin (20nM) aggravated, glucose-induced apoptosis in podocytes. In diabetic patients, the FVL mutation, but not the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 4G/5G polymorphism, is associated with reduced albuminuria, which is consistent with a nephroprotective role of low but sustained thrombin generation. Consistently, anticoagulation of diabetic FVL-positive mice with hirudin abolished the nephroprotective effect. These results identify a nephroprotective function of low but sustained thrombin levels in FVL carriers, supporting a dual, context-dependent function of thrombin in chronic diseases.

The lectin-like domain of thrombomodulin ameliorates diabetic glomerulopathy via complement inhibition.

Coagulation and complement regulators belong to two interactive systems constituting emerging mechanisms of diabetic nephropathy. Thrombomodulin (TM) regulates both coagulation and complement activation, in part through discrete domains. TM's lectin like domain dampens complement activation, while its EGF-like domains independently enhance activation of the anti-coagulant and cytoprotective ser...

Notoginsenoside R1 ameliorates podocyte injury in rats with diabetic nephropathy by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway

The present study was designed to examine the protective effect of notoginsenoside R1 (NR1) on podocytes in a rat model of streptozotocin (STZ)‑induced diabetic nephropathy (DN), and to explore the mechanism responsible for NR1-induced renal protection. Diabetes was induced by a single injection of STZ, and NR1 was administered daily at a dose of 5 mg/kg (low dose), 10 mg/kg (medium) and 20 mg/...

Dazed and confused by HHV-6.

clinical data generated by Wang and colleagues point to a decisive role for low but sustained thrombin generation in the protective phenotype of FVL carriers. Indeed, hiru-din (a specific thrombin inhibitor) largely prevented the beneficial effect of the FVL mutation on the damage of diabetic nephropa-thy in mice, whereas diabetic patients carrying the 4G/5G polymorphism in the gene encoding pl...

Glucose-induced reactive oxygen species cause apoptosis of podocytes and podocyte depletion at the onset of diabetic nephropathy.

Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease in the U.S. Recent studies demonstrate that loss of podocytes is an early feature of diabetic nephropathy that predicts its progressive course. Cause and consequences of podocyte loss during early diabetic nephropathy remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that podocyte apoptosis increased sharply with onset of hyp...
