RESUMEN

AIM: To investigate type III collagen (COL III) turnover in participants from the CANVAS Program biomarker substudy. METHODS: Biomarkers of COL III formation (PRO-C3) and COL III degradation fragments (C3M and CTX-III) were assessed in baseline and year 3 plasma from patients enrolled in CANVAS, investigating the effect of canagliflozin in participants with type 2 diabetes. The clinical outcomes investigated in this study were hospitalization for heart failure, cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality. RESULTS: Higher levels of PRO-C3 and C3M at baseline were associated with an increased incidence of all investigated outcomes, whereas levels of CTX-III at baseline were not associated with any of the investigated outcomes. Levels of PRO-C3 decreased and levels of CTX-III increased following canagliflozin treatment. An increase from baseline to year 3 in PRO-C3 in the placebo arm was associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular outcomes, and in all participants was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The changes in PRO-C3 and CTX-III reflect a shift in the dynamics of COL3 turnover following treatment with canagliflozin. These biomarkers are promising pharmacodynamic tools that can be used to monitor the impact of canagliflozin treatment and possibly other sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors on tissue remodelling in future interventional trials.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: This post-hoc study investigated whether biomarkers reflecting extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover predicted cardiovascular disease (CVD), mortality, and progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and microalbuminuria. METHODS: Serum levels of specific ECM turnover biomarkers were assessed in 192 participants with T2D and microalbuminuria from an observational study conducted at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen from 2007 to 2008. Endpoints included CVD events, mortality, and DKD progression, defined as decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of >30 %. RESULTS: Participants had a mean age of 59 years, with 75 % males. Over a median follow-up of 4.9 to 6.3 years, the study recorded 38 CVD events, 24 deaths, and 40 DKD events. Elevated levels of a degradation fragment of collagen type I (C1M) were associated with an increased risk of >30 % eGFR decline, although this association was not independent of other risk factors. No significant associations were found between other ECM turnover biomarkers and DKD progression, mortality, or CVD risk. CONCLUSION: Elevated C1M levels were linked to DKD progression in individuals with T2D and microalbuminuria, but not independently of other risk factors. None of the ECM turnover biomarkers were associated with CVD or mortality.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Diabetic cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN) are severe diabetic complications. Collagen type VI (COL6) and III (COL3) have been associated with nerve function. We investigated if markers of COL6 formation (PRO-C6) and COL3 degradation (C3M) were associated with neuropathy in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). METHODS: In a cross-sectional study including 300 people with T1D, serum and urine PRO-C6 and C3M were obtained. CAN was assessed by cardiovascular reflex tests: heart rate response to deep breathing (E/I ratio), to standing (30/15 ratio) and to the Valsalva maneuver (VM). Two or three pathological CARTs constituted CAN. DSPN was assessed by biothesiometry. Symmetrical vibration sensation threshold above 25 V constituted DSPN. RESULTS: Participants were (mean (SD)) 55.7 (9.3) years, 51% were males, diabetes duration was 40.0 (8.9) years, HbA1c was 63 (11 mmol/mol, (median (IQR)) serum PRO-C6 was 7.8 (6.2;11.0) ng/ml and C3M 8.3 (7.1;10.0) ng/ml. CAN and DSPN were diagnosed in 34% and 43% of participants, respectively. In models adjusted for relevant confounders a doubling of serum PRO-C6, was significantly associated with odds ratio > 2 for CAN and > 1 for DSPN, respectively. Significance was retained after additional adjustments for eGFR only for CAN. Higher serum C3M was associated with presence of CAN, but not after adjustment for eGFR. C3M was not associated with DSPN. Urine PRO-C6 analyses indicated similar associations. CONCLUSIONS: Results show previously undescribed associations between markers of collagen turnover and risk of CAN and to a lesser degree DSPN in T1D.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Diabetic kidney disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Dysregulated turnover of collagen type III is associated with development of kidney fibrosis. We investigated whether a degradation product of collagen type III (C3M) was a risk marker for progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and mortality during follow up in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and microalbuminuria. Moreover, we investigated whether C3M was correlated with markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction at baseline. METHODS: C3M was measured in serum (sC3M) and urine (uC3M) in 200 participants with T2D and microalbuminuria included in an observational, prospective study at Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen in Denmark from 2007-2008. Baseline measurements included 12 markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. The endpoints were CVD, mortality, and CKD progression (>30% decline in eGFR). RESULTS: Mean (SD) age was 59 (9) years, eGFR 90 (17) ml/min/1.73m2 and median (IQR) urine albumin excretion rate 102 (39-229) mg/24-h. At baseline all markers for inflammation were positively correlated with sC3M (p≤0.034). Some, but not all, markers for endothelial dysfunction were correlated with C3M. Median follow-up ranged from 4.9 to 6.3 years. Higher sC3M was associated with CKD progression (with mortality as competing risk) with a hazard ratio (per doubling) of 2.98 (95% CI: 1.41-6.26; p = 0.004) adjusted for traditional risk factors. uC3M was not associated with CKD progression. Neither sC3M or uC3M were associated with risk of CVD or mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Higher sC3M was a risk factor for chronic kidney disease progression and was correlated with markers of inflammation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Fibrosis is a suggested cause of graft failure and mortality among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Accumulating evidence suggests that collagen type VI is tightly linked to fibrosis and may be a marker of systemic fibrosis and ageing. We studied whether plasma endotrophin, a pro-collagen type VI fragment, is associated with graft failure and mortality among KTRs. METHODS: In cohort A (57% male, age 53 ± 13 years), we measured plasma endotrophin in 690 prevalent KTRs ≥1 year after transplantation. The non-overlapping cohort B included 500 incident KTRs with serial endotrophin measurements before and after kidney transplantation to assess trajectories and intra-individual variation of endotrophin. RESULTS: In cohort A, endotrophin was higher in KTRs compared with healthy controls. Concentrations were positively associated with female sex, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, markers of inflammation and kidney injury. Importantly, endotrophin was associated with graft failure {hazard ratio [HR] per doubling 1.87 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-3.28]} and mortality [HR per doubling 2.59 (95% CI 1.73-3.87)] independent of potential confounders. Data from cohort B showed that endotrophin concentrations strongly decrease after transplantation and remain stable during post-transplantation follow-up [intra-individual coefficient of variation 5.0% (95% CI 3.7-7.6)]. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma endotrophin is strongly associated with graft failure and mortality among KTRs. These findings suggest a key role of abnormal extracellular matrix turnover and fibrosis in graft and patient prognosis among KTRs and highlight the need for (interventional) studies targeting the profibrotic state of KTRs. The intra-individual stability after transplantation indicates potential use of endotrophin as a biomarker and outcome measure of fibrosis. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02811835.

RESUMEN

Better characterization of the potential kidney transplant recipient using novel biomarkers, for example, pretransplant plasma endotrophin, will lead to improved outcome after transplantation. This mini-review will focus on current knowledge about pretransplant recipients' characteristics, biomarkers, and immunology. Clinical characteristics of recipients including age, obesity, blood pressure, comorbidities, and estimated survival scores have been introduced for prediction of recipient and allograft survival. The pretransplant immunologic risk assessment include histocompatibility leukocyte antigens (HLAs), anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies, HLA-DQ mismatch, and non-HLA antibodies. Recently, there has been the hope that pretransplant determination of markers can further improve the prediction of posttransplant complications, both short-term and long-term outcomes including rejections, allograft loss, and mortality. Higher pretransplant plasma endotrophin levels were independently associated with posttransplant acute allograft injury in three prospective European cohorts. Elevated numbers of non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism mismatch have been associated with increased allograft loss in a multivariable analysis. It is concluded that there is a need for integration of clinical characteristics and novel molecular and immunological markers to improve future transplant medicine to reach better diagnostic decisions tailored to the individual patient.

RESUMEN

Delayed graft function after kidney transplantation is common and increases morbidity and health care costs. There is evidence that endotrophin, a specific fragment of pro-collagen type VI, promotes the inflammatory response in kidney diseases. We tested the hypothesis that pretransplant endotrophin in kidney transplant recipients may be associated with the risk of delayed graft function. Pretransplant plasma endotrophin was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in three independent cohorts with 806 kidney transplant recipients. The primary outcome was delayed graft function, i.e., the necessity of at least one dialysis session within one-week posttransplant. In the discovery cohort median pretransplant plasma endotrophin was higher in 32 recipients (12%) who showed delayed graft function when compared to 225 recipients without delayed graft function (58.4 ng/mL [IQR 33.4-69.0]; N = 32; vs. 39.5 ng/mL [IQR 30.6-54.5]; N = 225; P = 0.009). Multivariable logistic regression, fully adjusted for confounders showed, that pretransplant plasma endotrophin as a continuous variable was independently associated with delayed graft function in both validation cohorts, odds ratio 2.09 [95% CI 1.30-3.36] and 2.06 [95% CI 1.43-2.97]. Pretransplant plasma endotrophin, a potentially modifiable factor, was independently associated with increased risk of delayed graft function and may be a new avenue for therapeutic interventions.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Endotrophin, a collagen type VI-derived peptide, mediates metabolic dysregulation, inflammation, and fibrosis in animal models, but has not been studied in human heart failure (HF). METHODS: We examined the association between circulating endotrophin and outcomes in participants suffering from HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) enrolled in the TOPCAT trial (n=205). Associations were validated in a participant-level meta-analysis (n=810) that included participants with HFpEF from the PHFS study (United States; n=174), PEOPLE cohort (New Zealand; n=168), a randomized trial of vasodilator therapy (United States; n=45), a cohort from Donostia University Hospital and University of Navarra (Spain; n=171), and the TRAINING-HF trial (Spain; n=47). We also assessed associations in HF with reduced ejection fraction in PHFS (n=1,642). RESULTS: Plasma endotrophin levels at baseline were associated with risk of future death (standardized hazard ratio [HR] = 1.74; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.36-2.24; P<0.001) and death or HF-related hospital admission (DHFA; standardized HR=2.11; 95% CI= 1.67-2.67; P<0.001) in TOPCAT. Endotrophin improved reclassification and discrimination for these outcomes beyond the MAGGIC risk score and NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide). Findings were confirmed in the participant-level meta-analysis. In participants with HF with reduced ejection fraction in PHFS, endotrophin levels were associated with death (standardized HR=1.82; 95% CI=1.66-2.00; P<0.001) and DHFA (standardized HR=1.40; 95% CI=1.31-1.50; P<0.001), but the strength of the latter association was substantially lower than for the MAGGIC risk score (standardized HR=1.93; 95% CI=1.76-2.12) and BNP (standardized HR=1.78; 95% CI=1.66-1.92). CONCLUSIONS: Circulating endotrophin levels are independently associated with future poor outcomes in patients with HF, particularly in HFpEF.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Progressive fibrosis has been identified as the major predictor of mortality in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Several biomarkers are currently being evaluated for their ability to substitute the liver biopsy as the reference standard. Recent clinical studies in NAFLD/NASH patients support the utility of PRO-C3, a marker of type III collagen formation, as a marker for the degree of fibrosis, disease activity, and effect of treatment. Here we establish the healthy reference range, optimal sample handling conditions for both short- and long-term serum storage, and robustness for the PRO-C3 assay. METHODS: PRO-C3 was measured in 269 healthy volunteers and in 222 NAFLD patients. Robustness of the PRO-C3 assay was measured according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute standards and included validation of interference, precision, and reagent stability, whilst sample stability was defined for storage at different temperatures and for 3 freeze-thaw cycles. Fibrosis scoring was based on histological assessments and used as a reference for the diagnostic ability of PRO-C3 to discriminate between patients with different levels of fibrosis. RESULTS: Robustness of the PRO-C3 analysis validated by interference, precision, and reagent stability was found to be within the predefined acceptance criteria. The healthy reference range was determined to be 6.1-14.7 ng/ml. Levels of PRO-C3 were not affected by sex, age, BMI, or ethnicity. Levels of PRO-C3 were able to identify patients with clinically significant fibrosis and advanced fibrosis (AUC = 0.83 (95% CI [0.77-0.88], p <0.0001), and AUC = 0.79 (95% CI [0.73-0.85], p <0.0001), respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The assay proved to be robust and sample stability was found to comply with hospital sample handling requirements. PRO-C3 measured in samples from patients with NAFLD/NASH was diagnostic for significant and advanced liver fibrosis. LAY SUMMARY: We showed that PRO-C3 levels were stable under conditions conforming with hospital sample-handling requirements. We determined a healthy reference range and showed that PRO-C3 levels were not associated with sex, age, BMI, or ethnicity. Finally, we provide further evidence of an association of PRO-C3 with increasing liver fibrosis.

RESUMEN

There is an unmet need for high-quality liquid biomarkers that can safely and reproducibly predict the stage of fibrosis and the outcomes of chronic liver disease (CLD). The requirement for such markers has intensified because of the high global prevalence of diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In particular, there is a need for diagnostic and prognostic tools, as well as predictive biomarkers that reflect the efficacy of interventions, as described by the BEST criteria (Biomarkers, EndpointS, and other Tools Resource). This review covers the various liver collagens, their functional role in tissue homeostasis and delineates the common nomenclature for biomarkers based on BEST criteria. It addresses the common confounders affecting serological biomarkers, and describes defined collagen epitope biomarkers that originate from the dynamic processes of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling during liver injury.

RESUMEN

There is a need for noninvasive biomarkers that can identify patients with progressive liver fibrosis and monitor response to antifibrotic therapy. An equally important need is identification of patients with spontaneous fibrosis regression, since they may not need treatment nor be included in clinical studies with fibrosis as end point. Circulating biomarkers, originating from defined fragments of the scar tissue itself, may serve as valuable tools for this aspect of precision medicine. We investigated a panel of serological collagen formation and degradation markers to identify patients likely to regress or progress in absence of a therapeutic intervention. Plasma samples from patients with moderate-stage hepatitis C receiving placebo treatment in a phase II trial of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonist farglitazar were included. The patients had matched liver biopsies at baseline and 52 wk of follow-up. Serological biomarkers of collagen formation (PRO-C3, PRO-C4, PRO-C5) and collagen degradation (C3M, C4M, and C6M) were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis including PRO-C3 and C6M identified subjects with progressive liver fibrosis with an AUROC of 0.91 ( P < 0.0001) and positive and negative predictive values (PPV/NPV) of 75.0%/88.6%. Low levels of PRO-C5 predicted a spontaneous regression phenotype, with an odds ratio of 33.8 times higher compared with patients with high levels ( P < 0.0025) with an AUROC of 0.78 ( P < 0.0001) and PPV/NPV of 60.0%/95.7%. Two collagen fragments (PRO-C3 and C6M) identified liver fibrosis progressors, and one collagen fragment (PRO-C5) identified liver fibrosis regressors. These biomarkers may improve patient stratification and monitor treatment efficacy in studies with fibrosis as clinical end point. NEW & NOTEWORTHY In this study we report two biomarkers of collagen fragments (PRO-C3 and C6M) that are able to identify liver fibrosis progressors while one biomarker (PRO-C5) identified liver fibrosis regressors. In particular, we present three noninvasive biomarkers that can be used to identify patients with progressive liver fibrosis, monitor response to antifibrotic therapy, and also identify the spontaneous liver fibrosis regression phenotype.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Type 2 diabetes is a common risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Enhanced de novo collagen type VI (COL VI) formation has been associated with renal fibrosis and CKD. We investigated the hypothesis that PRO-C6, a product specifically generated during COL VI formation, is prognostic for adverse outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In a prospective, observational study, we measured PRO-C6 in the serum (S-PRO-C6) and urine (U-PRO-C6) of 198 patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria without symptoms of coronary artery disease. Patients were followed for a median of 6.5 years, and end points were a composite of cardiovascular events (n = 38), all-cause mortality (n = 26), and reduction of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of >30% (disease progression [n = 42]). Cox models were unadjusted and adjusted for the conventional risk factors of sex, age, BMI, systolic blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, smoking, HbA1c, plasma creatinine, and urinary albumin excretion rate. RESULTS: Doubling of S-PRO-C6 increased hazards for cardiovascular events (hazard ratio 3.06 [95% CI 1.31-7.14]), all-cause mortality (6.91 [2.96-16.11]), and disease progression (4.81 [1.92-12.01]). Addition of S-PRO-C6 to a model containing conventional risk factors improved relative integrated discrimination by 22.5% for cardiovascular events (P = 0.02), 76.8% for all-cause mortality (P = 0.002), and 53.3% for disease progression (P = 0.004). U-PRO-C6 was not significantly associated with any of the outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: S-PRO-C6 generated during COL VI formation predicts cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality, and disease progression in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria.
