Increased urinary excretion of hedgehog interacting protein (uHhip) in early diabetic kidney disease.
Summary of "Increased urinary excretion of hedgehog interacting protein (uHhip) in early diabetic kidney disease."
Glomerular endothelial cell (GEC) dysfunction occurs in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and generally precedes albuminuria. We recently reported that hedgehog interacting protein (Hhip), highly expressed in GECs, contributes to DKD development in diabetic mice. Here, we hypothesized that urinary Hhip (uHhip) could identify early DKD; we tested uHhip in mice and humans with diabetes (DM). In both type 1 (Akita) and type 2 (db/db) DM mice, uHhip is elevated prior to the development of albuminuria, while non-DM controls excrete minimal amount of uHhip. In 87 type 2 DM patients and 39 healthy controls, the uHhip/creatinine (Cr) ratio provides a significant discrimination between non-DM and DM groups; 0 (0-69.5) in non-DM, 9.9 (1.7-39.5) in normoalbuminuric DM, 167.7 (95.7-558.7) in microalbuminuric DM, and 207.9 (0-957.2) in macroalbuminuric DM (median [IQR] ng/mmol, P < 0.0001). The log-uHhip/Cr is positively correlated with urine albumin/Cr ratio (UACR) (spearman correlation coefficient 0.47, P < 0.0001). The log-uHhip/Cr is also associated with eGFR, pulse pressure, and urinary cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TGFβ1) independent of UACR. By immunostaining, Hhip is localized in glomeruli and tubules, and is increased in human DM kidneys compared with non-DM kidneys. TGFβ1 shares the similar staining pattern as Hhip in human DM kidneys. Thus, uHhip appears to be a novel indicator of diabetic GEC injury and is elevated in early DKD before the development of microalbuminuria in mice and humans. Clinical value for detecting early DKD warrants further investigation.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Smoothened Receptor
A frizzled-like, G-protein-coupled receptor that associates with PATCHED RECEPTORS to transduce signals from HEDGEHOG PROTEINS and initiate hedgehog signaling to ZINC FINGER PROTEIN GLI1. It may normally inhibit signaling in the absence of SONIC HEDGEHOG PROTEIN binding to PATCHED RECEPTOR-1.
Patched-1 Receptor
A patched receptor for several HEDGEHOG PROTEINS that associates with the SMOOTHENED RECEPTOR to modulate hedgehog signaling. It is also a TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEIN; mutations in the patched-1 gene are associated with BASAL CELL NEVUS SYNDROME; SQUAMOUS CELL CARCNIOMA of the ESOPHAGUS; trichoepitheliomas, and CARCINOMA, TRANSITIONAL CELL of the URINARY BLADDER.
Hedgehog Proteins
A family of intercellular signaling proteins that play and important role in regulating the development of many TISSUES and organs. Their name derives from the observation of a hedgehog-like appearance in DROSOPHILA embryos with genetic mutations that block their action.
Host Cell Factor C1
A cellular transcriptional coactivator that was originally identified by its requirement for the stable assembly IMMEDIATE-EARLY PROTEINS of the HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS. It is a nuclear protein that is a transcriptional coactivator for a number of transcription factors including VP16 PROTEIN; GA-BINDING PROTEIN; EARLY GROWTH RESPONSE PROTEIN 2; and E2F4 TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR. It also interacts with and stabilizes HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS PROTEIN VMW65 and helps regulate GENETIC TRANSCRIPTION of IMMEDIATE-EARLY GENES in HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS.
Receptor-interacting Protein Serine-threonine Kinases
A family of serine-threonine kinases that plays a role in intracellular signal transduction by interacting with a variety of signaling adaptor proteins such as CRADD SIGNALING ADAPTOR PROTEIN; TNF RECEPTOR-ASSOCIATED FACTOR 2; and TNF RECEPTOR-ASSOCIATED DEATH DOMAIN PROTEIN. Although they were initially described as death domain-binding adaptor proteins, members of this family may contain other protein-binding domains such as those involving caspase activation and recruitment.
