| Research Abstract |
Recently we proposed that hyperglycemia-induced ROS production from mitochondria is a key event in the development of diabetic complications (Nishikawa et al. 2000; Nature 404: 787-90). During 2001-2002, we have performed below project based on our hypothesis.
Objective - To evaluate urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine as a marker for the progression of diabetic macroangiopathic complications.
Research design and methods - The content of urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), the coronary heart disease (CHD) risk score, the severity of diabetic retinopathy, and urinary albumin excretion were examined in 96 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus including 32 patients, who had been nominated for Kumamoto Study (Shichiri M, et al, Diabetes Care 23 Suppl 2:B21-29, 2000). In addition, the patients from Kumamoto were further evaluated the effect of intensive insulin therapy on urinary 8-OHdG excretion.
Results - The urinary 8-OHdG/creatinine ratio (U8-OHdG) was 2.5 fold elevated in patients with increased HbA1c compared to those with normal HbA1c (p<0.05). In addition, U8-OHdG was 2.3 fold elevated in patients with increased IMT (p<0.005). A similar result was observed between U8-OHdG and CHD risk score (p<0.01). U8-OHdG was significantly elevated in patients with simple retinopathy (p<0.05) and those with advanced retinopathy (p<0.01) compared to patients without retinopathy. Similarly, U8-OHdG was significantly elevated in patients with albuminuria (p<0.01). Furthermore, U8-OHdG was significantly lower in multiple insulin injection therapy group compared with conventional insulin injection therapy group in patients from Kumamoto Study (p<0.01).
Conclusions - Hyperglycemia suggested to be independently increase 8-OHdG in type 2 diabetic patients. 8-OHdG is a useful biomarker of not only microvascular but also microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.
