Abstract

Aims/Introduction: We investigated the relationship of circulating TSP‐1 mRNA and miR‐194 with diabetic kidney disease's degree. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 167 hospitalized type 2 diabetes patients in the endocrinology department. Patients were split into three groups according to urinary microalbumin: A, B and C. The control group comprised healthy outpatients (n = 163). The quantities of microribonucleic acid (miR)‐194 and thrombospondin‐1 (TSP‐1) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in the participants' circulation were measured using a quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction. Results: Circulating TSP‐1 mRNA (P = 0.024) and miR‐194 (P = 0.029) expressions significantly increased in type 2 diabetes patients. Circulating TSP‐1 mRNA (P = 0.040) and miR‐194 (P = 0.007) expression levels differed significantly among the three groups; circulating TSP‐1 mRNA expression increased with urinary microalbumin. However, miR‐194 declined in group B and increased in group C. Circulating TSP‐1 mRNA was positively correlated with cystatin‐c (r = 0.281; P = 0.021) and microalbumin/creatinine ratio (UmALB/Cr; r = 0.317; P = 0.009); miR‐194 was positively correlated with UmALB/Cr (r = 0.405; P = 0.003). Stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis showed cystatin‐c (β = 0.578; P = 0.021) and UmALB/Cr (β = 0.001; P = 0.009) as independent factors for TSP‐1 mRNA; UmALB/Cr (β = 0.005; P = 0.028) as an independent factor for miR194. Areas under the curve for circulating TSP‐1 mRNA and miR194 were 0.756 (95% confidence interval 0.620–0.893; sensitivity 0.69 and specificity 0.71, P < 0.01) and 0.584 (95% confidence interval 0.421–0.748; sensitivity 0.54 and specificity 0.52, P < 0.01), respectively. Conclusions: Circulating TSP‐1 mRNA and miR‐194 expressions significantly increased in type 2 diabetes patients. The microalbumin group had lower levels of miR‐194 (a risk factor that is valuable for type 2 diabetes kidney disease evaluation). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
