Despite the wealth of information on biomarkers of diabetes complications in adults with type 1 diabetes, data in the pediatric population is limited. This study explores the potential marker soluble alpha KL for early diabetic nephropathy in children and identifies miR-192 as a key regulator of KL levels, senescence, and oxidative stress in the development of diabetic nephropathy.
Despite the wealth of information on biomarkers of diabetes complications in adults with type 1 diabetes, data in the pediatric population is limited. Diabetic nephropathy (DN), the leading cause of mortality in type 1 diabetes T1D), could be potentially missed in youth, as albuminuria, the current gold standard, may be transient and may not reflect permanent renal impairment. Soluble alpha KL has emerged as a potential marker of early diabetic nephropathy. Seventy-nine pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes meeting ISPAD criteria for nephropathy screening were consecutively recruited (90% Caucasian, 51% male, mean age 16.1 +/- 3.1 years, duration of T1D 7.2 +/- 3.9 years, 2-year average HbA1c 8.0 +/- 1.3%, and serum and urine samples were collected for analysis. Serum Klotho (KL) and circulating miRNA levels of select miRNA involved in the pathogenesis of DN were estimated. KL had a strong inverse correlation with diabetes duration and HbA1c, two important risk factors in the development of diabetes complications. Serum miR-192 were negatively associated with KL among children with prolonged duration of diabetes (>= 12 years) after adjustment for age and sex. In cell culture, overexpression of miR-192 significantly downregulated KL mRNA and protein levels, and reduced KL levels in the media. miR-192 mimic reduced luciferase activity in a reporter containing the KL 3' UTR (60% compared to controls, p<0.01), and the inhibitor rescued it. Deletion of a potential binding site for miR-192 in the KL 3'UTR completely abolished the effect of miR-192 in the reporter assay, suggesting that KL is a direct target gene of miR-192. Overexpression of miR-192 significantly increased oxidative stress (MDA) and expression of inflammatory and senescence markers IL-6 and p16. Inhibition of miR-192 significantly reduced levels of MDA, IL-6 and p16. In summary, we demonstrate an increase in miR-192 and a decrease in KL levels in children with prolonged duration of T1D. We demonstrate a novel role for miR-192 in directly regulating KL levels, and through that, senescence and oxidative stress, key pathological processes in the development of DN. miR-192 and/or KL levels are altered with severity and duration of diabetes and could serve as early biomarkers for DN.
