Dysregulation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)-related genes in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease - Results from bioinformatics analysis and translational studies
The role of Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the immunopathogenesis of Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) remains elusive. We used a machine learning approach to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with NETs in human DKD kidney biopsy datasets and validated the results using single-nucleus RNA sequencing datasets. The expressions of these candidate genes and related cytokines were verified in blood obtained from DKD patients. Three NETs-associated genes (ITGAM, ITGB2 and TLR7) were identified, which all showed significant upregulation in both glomerular and tubulointerstitial compartments in human DKD kidneys. DKD patients showed significantly higher number of activated neutrophils with increased ITGAM and ITGB2 expression, higher serum IL-6 but lower IL-10, compared to healthy controls (p all <0.01). This study suggests that dysregulation of NETs-associated genes ITGAM and ITGB2 are related to the pathogenesis of DKD, and may serve as novel diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets in DKD.
