Abstract:
Objective:To observe the expression of serum nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) in patients with early diabetic nephropathy (EDN) and the effect of pioglitazone on the expression of inflammatory factors and renal protective mechanism.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted.From January 2019 to December 2019, the patients were divided into pioglitazone group ( n=35) and glimepiride group ( n=34). At the same time, 30 healthy people in the physical examination center of our hospital were selected as the control group.The levels of serum NF-κB and MCP-1 were detected by immunohistochemistry.The changes of fasting glucose, Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), renal function, urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), and hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hsCRP), interleukin-6(IL-6), homeostasis model insulin Resistance index (HOMA-IR) were detected and compared among the three groups before treatment, pioglitazone group and glimepiride treatment group after treatment.To observe the effect of pioglitazone on serum NF-kB and MCP-1 expression in patients with early type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Results:Serum NF-κB, MCP-1, UAER, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, hsCRP, IL-6 were significantly higher in the diabetic nephropathy group than those in the control group before treatment ( t values were 9.16, 7.61, 16.99, 17.01, 17.05, 12.01, 8.69, 6.28, all P<0.01). After 12 weeks of treatment, the levels of NF- κB, MCP-1, HOMA-IR, hsCRP, IL-6 and UAER in pioglitazone group were lower than those in glimepiide group ( t values were -5.03, -4.63, -2.35, -8.03, -3.06, -2.10, P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in fasting blood glucose and HbA1c between the pioglitazone group and the glimepiide group (all P>0.05). Serum NF-κB, MCP-1, HbA1c, HOMA-IR and UAER in EDN group were significantly positively correlated ( R values were 0.568, 0.532, 0.521, 0.466, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The expression of NF - κ B and MCP-1 in serum of EDN patients was increased, which indicated that there was chronic inflammation in patients.Pioglitazone could down regulate the expression of NF - κ B and MCP-1, so as to play an anti-inflammatory and renal protective role.
