Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Study on the Anti-proteinuric Effects of Pioglitazone in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes.
Pioglitazone is an insulin sensitising drug used in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. In addition to its blood sugar lowering effect, pioglitazone also has a number of other beneficial effects, one of which is to reduce the loss of protein in the urine. The mechanism of this protein "sparing effect" of pioglitazone is not fully understood. The proposed study will investigate whether pioglitazone has beneficial effects on the filtration characteristics of filters in the kidney that are responsible for retaining protein in the body. The effect of pioglitazone on the size of the pores in the filters and also the electrostatic charge barriers that surround these pores will be investigated. The clinical study will involve 12 patients with type 2 diabetes with minimal urine protein loss, taking low dose pioglitazone for 3 months. Blood and urine samples will be collected at the beginning, mid point and end of the study and used to measure the concentration of specific proteins of different size and electrostatic charge. This data will be used to identify and characterise changes in the filtration properties of the kidney filters during the study.
In addition to their insulin sensitising action, thiazolidinediones (TZDs) have beneficial
effects on vascular function. These include a decrease in proteinuria and amelioration of
diabetic nephropathy. Although the anti-proteinuric effect of TZDs is well established the
mechanism(s) underlying these changes has yet to be determined. Possible mechanisms include
altered renal haemodynamics, maintenance of anionic electrostatic filtration barriers in the
glomerular basement membrane and pleiotropic effects.
The target of TZDs, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), directly
modulate vessel wall function. The kidney differentially expresses all PPAR isoforms and
there is evidence that TZDs have pleiotropic effects in the kidney over and above their
metabolic and haemodynamic actions. These effects include a direct action on cultured
mesangial cells, inhibition of in vivo mesangial expansion, reduction in podocyte injury,
and decreased production of type IV collagen and urinary endothelin-1 levels in early stage
diabetic nephropathy.
Glomerular ultrafiltration of plasma proteins is governed by the size of the filtration
pores and the extent of anionic sites in the basement membrane and podocyte slit pore
junction. It is possible that the anti-proteinuric effect of TZDs is attributable to an
increase in size and/or charge selectivity in the glomerular filtration barrier. A Medline
search showed there have been no studies on the effect of TZDs on protein ultrafiltration.
The aim of the proposed study is to measure urinary protein size and charge selectivity in
patients with early stage diabetic nephropathy before and after treatment with the TZD,
pioglitazone.
