Popis: | Aims Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes are the prominent risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and -9 regulate vascular structure by degrading elastic fibre and inhibit angiogenesis by generating angiostatin. We hypothesized that MMP-2 and -9 were up-regulated in the arterial vasculature from CKD patients with diabetes, compared with those without diabetes. Methods and results During living donor transplantation procedures, arteries from donors ( n = 8) and recipients (non-diabetic, n = 8; diabetic, n = 8; matched in age, gender, and dialysis treatments) were harvested. Diabetic arteries had increased MMP-2 and -9 activities by 42 and 116% compared with non-diabetic ones. Diabetic arteries were the stiffest, and the stiffness measurement was highly correlated with the summation of MMP-2 + MMP-9 activities ( r = 0.738, P = 0.0002). Pulse wave velocity measurements correlated with MMP activity ( r = 0.683, P = 0.005). Elastic fibre degradation and calcification were worst in diabetic vessels. The phosphate level, which was 25% higher in diabetic patients, correlated with MMP activity ( r = 0.513, P = 0.04) and in vitro stiffness ( r = 0.545, P = 0.03), respectively. Angiostatin expression was doubled, whereas vascular endothelial growth factor was 50% reduced in diabetic compared with non-diabetic vessels. Microvascular density in diabetic vessels was 48% of that in non-diabetic ones, and it was strongly associated with MMP activity ( r = −0.792, P < 0.0001) and vasorelaxation ( r = 0.685, P = 0.0009). Conclusion Using a matched case–control design, we report up-regulation of MMP-2 and -9 in diabetic CKD arteries and correlate those with stiffening, impaired angiogenesis, and endothelial dysfunction. These findings may help to explain the high susceptibility of CVD in diabetic and non-diabetic CKD patients. |
