Abstract
Urinary extracellular vesicles (uEV) are a largely unexplored source of kidney-derived mRNAs with potential to serve as a liquid kidney biopsy. We assessed ∼200 uEV mRNA samples from clinical studies by genome-wide sequencing to discover mechanisms and candidate biomarkers of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in Type 1 diabetes (T1D) with replication in Type 1 and 2 diabetes. Sequencing reproducibly showed >10,000 mRNAs with similarity to kidney transcriptome. T1D DKD groups showed 13 upregulated genes prevalently expressed in proximal tubules, correlated with hyperglycemia and involved in cellular/oxidative stress homeostasis. We used six of them (GPX3, NOX4, MSRB, MSRA, HRSP12 and CRYAB) to construct a transcriptional “stress score” that... (More)

We used six of them (GPX3, NOX4, MSRB, MSRA, HRSP12 and CRYAB) to construct a transcriptional “stress score” that reflected long-term decline of kidney function and could even identify normoalbuminuric individuals showing early decline. We thus provide workflow and web-resource for studying uEV transcriptomes in clinical urine samples and stress-linked DKD markers as potential early non-invasive biomarkers or drug targets. (Less)
