Abstract EN
A number of studies have shown that proinflammatory cytokines have important roles in determining the development of microvascular diabetic complications, including nephropathy.
Inflammatory biomarkers should be useful for diagnosis or monitoring of diabetic nephropathy.
Mindin (spondin 2) is a member of the mindin-/F-spondin family of secreted extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins.
Recent studies showed that mindin is essential for initiation of innate immune response and represents a unique pattern-recognition molecule in the ECM.
Previously, we demonstrated that the levels of urinary mindin in patients with type 2 diabetes were higher than those in healthy individuals.
We propose that urinary mindin is a potent biomarker for the development of diabetic nephropathy.
