Background
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor, cMet, activate biological pathways necessary for repair and regeneration following kidney injury. Here, we evaluated the clinical role of urinary cMet as prognostic biomarker in diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Methods
A total of 218 patients with DN were enrolled in this study. We examined the association of urine cMet levels and long-term outcomes in patients with DN.
Results
The levels of urinary cMet were higher in patients with decreased renal function than in patients with relatively preserved renal function (5.17 ± 9.56 ng/ml versus 1.86 ± 4.85 ng/ml, P = 0.001). A fully adjusted model revealed that a urinary cMet cutoff of 2.9 ng/mL was associated with a hazard ratio for end-stage renal disease of 2.50 (95% confidence interval 1.18–4.53, P = 0.007). The addition of urinary cMet to serum creatinine and proteinuria provided the highest net reclassification improvement. We found that in primary cultured human glomerular endothelial cells, TGFβ treatment induced fibrosis, and the protein expression levels of collagen IV, fibronectin, and αSMA were decreased after administration of an agonistic cMet antibody.
Conclusion
In conclusion, elevated levels of urinary cMet at the time of initial diagnosis could predict renal outcomes in patients with DN.
