    Abstract Increased triglycerides (TG) and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are dyslipidemias characteristic of diabetes. Here, we aimed to examine associations of TG/HDL-C ratio with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and kidney dysfunction among patients with diabetic nephropathy. This retrospective observational study consists of patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy at Nara Medical University Hospital. Exposure of interest was TG/HDL-C ratio measured at kidney biopsy. Outcome variables were kidney histological findings, incident CVD and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Multivariable logistic regression models and Cox proportional hazard models were used to examined these associations. A total of 353 subjects were divided into quartiles based on TG/HDL-C ratio: Quartile 1 (reference), <1.96; Quartile 2, 1.96-3.10; Quartile 3, 3.11-4.55; and Quartile 4, ≥4.56. TG/HDL-C ratio was not a predictor of any histological findings in fully adjusted models. During median follow-up periods of 6.2 and 7.3 years, 152 and 90 subjects developed CVD and ESKD, respectively. Higher TG/HDL-C ratio was independently associated with higher incidences of CVD even after adjustments for potential confounders (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] for Quartile 3 vs. reference; 1.73 [1.08-2.79] and Quartile 4 vs. reference; 1.86 [1.10-3.17]). Although there was a weak association between TG/HDL-C ratio and ESKD in the univariable model, the association was not significant in fully adjusted models. In conclusion, among patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy, higher TG/HDL-C ratio was independently associated with higher incidences of CVD but not with kidney outcomes, suggesting different impact of TG/HDL-C ratio on cardiorenal outcomes.

    Abstract Aim: To examine whether serum β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) could improve the prediction performance for kidney failure with replacement therapy (KFRT) among patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).
    Methods: Patients with biopsy-proven DN at Nara Medical University Hospital were included. The exposure of interest was log-transformed serum β2-MG levels measured at kidney biopsy. The outcome variable was KFRT. Multivariable Cox regression models and competing-risk regression models, with all-cause mortality as a competing event, were performed. Model fit by adding serum β2-MG levels was calculated using the Akaike information criterion (AIC). The net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) indexes were used to evaluate the improvement of predictive performance for 5-year cumulative incidence of KFRT by serum β2-MG levels.
    Results: Among 408 patients, 99 developed KFRT during a median follow-up period of 6.7 years. A higher serum β2-MG level (1-unit increase in log-transformed serum β2-MG level) was associated with a higher incidence of KFRT, even after adjustments for previously known clinical and histological risk factors (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval {CI}]: 3.30 [1.57-6.94] and subdistribution hazard ratio [95% CI]: 3.07 [1.55-6.06]). The addition of log-transformed serum β2-MG level reduced AIC and improved the prediction of KFRT (NRI and IDI: 0.32 [0.09-0.54] and 0.03 [0.01-0.56], respectively).
    Conclusions: Among patients with biopsy-proven DN, serum β2-MG was an independent predictor of KFRT and improved prediction performance. In addition to serum creatinine, serum β2-MG should probably be measured for DN.

    Abstract Background: Studies on kidney function and histological findings in diabetic nephropathy (DN) with low urinary protein (UP) are few. We examined the differential impact of histological changes on kidney outcomes between non-proteinuric and proteinuric DN.
    Methods: Patients diagnosed with DN by renal biopsy during 1981-2014 were divided into non-proteinuric (UP ≤ 0.5 g/day) and proteinuric (UP > 0.5 g/day) DN. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to examine the association of glomerular lesions (GLs) and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) development after adjusting for relevant confounders.
    Results: The non-proteinuric and proteinuric DN groups included 197 and 199 patients, respectively. During the 10.7-year median follow-up period, 16 and 83 patients developed ESKD in the non-proteinuric and proteinuric DN groups, respectively. In the multivariable Cox hazard model, hazard ratios (HRs) [95% confidence intervals (CIs)] of GL and IFTA for ESKD in proteinuric DN were 2.94 [1.67-5.36] and 3.82 [2.06-7.53], respectively. Meanwhile, HRs [95% CIs] of GL and IFTA in non-proteinuric DN were < 0.01 [0-2.48] and 4.98 [1.33-18.0], respectively. IFTA was consistently associated with higher incidences of ESKD regardless of proteinuria levels (P for interaction = 0.49). The prognostic impact of GLs on ESKD was significantly decreased as proteinuria levels decreased (P for interaction < 0.01).
    Conclusions: IFTA is consistently a useful predictor of kidney prognosis in both non-proteinuric and proteinuric DN, while GLs are a significant predictor of kidney prognosis only in proteinuric DN.

    Abstract Cabozantinib is known as an inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases mainly targeting AXL receptor tyrosine kinase (AXL), MET proto-oncogene-encoded receptor tyrosine kinase (MET), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. Growth arrest-specific 6 (GAS6) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), the natural ligands of AXL and MET, respectively, are associated with the induction of cancer cell proliferation or metastasis. Currently, it is still unclear how cabozantinib regulates cancer cell migration and invasion by inhibiting AXL and MET. This study was conducted to investigate the mechanism underlying the anti-cancer effects of cabozantinib through regulation of AXL and MET signaling.The results of Boyden chamber assays showed that cancer cell migration was induced by GAS6 and HGF in SKOV3 cells in serum-free medium. Combinatorial treatment with GAS6 and HGF exerted an additive effect on cell migration. Furthermore, we examined the role of AXL and MET signaling in cell migration. Short interfering RNA targeting AXL and MET inhibited GAS6- and HGF-induced migration, respectively. Double knockdown of AXL and MET completely suppressed cell migration induced by combination treatment with GAS6 and HGF compared to AXL or MET inhibition alone. Finally, we investigated the effects of cabozantinib on cell migration and invasion. Cabozantinib inhibited AXL and MET phosphorylation and downregulated the downstream mediators, phosphorylated SRC in the presence of both GAS6 and HGF in SKOV3 cells. The cell migration and invasion induced by combined GAS6 and HGF treatment were suppressed by cabozantinib, but not by capmatinib, a selective MET inhibitor.Our data indicate that the GAS6-AXL and HGF-MET signal pathways markedly contribute to cancer cell migration and invasion in an independent manner, suggesting that simultaneous inhibition of these two pathways contributes to the anti-cancer effects of cabozantinib.

    Abstract Background: Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (
    Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) in patients refractory to PSL assessed by using cardiac metabolic activity (CMA) in
    Methods: A total of 59 patients with active CS were prospectively enrolled. CMA (standardized uptake value × accumulation area) was used as an indicator of active inflammation, and a 6-month regimen of PSL therapy was introduced, followed by a second FDG scan. Poor responders to PSL therapy (CMA reduction rate <70%) and patients with recurrent CS (CMA reduction rate ≥70% after initial PSL therapy but CMA recurred after an additional 6 months of therapy) were randomly assigned to the MTX or repeat PSL (re-PSL) therapy groups for another 6 months.
    Results: Fifty-six patients completed the initial 6-month PSL therapy regimen. Median CMA reduced from 203.3 to 1.0 (P < 0.001), and 47 patients were allocated to the response group, 9 to the poor response group, and 2 to the recurrent group. Accordingly, 11 patients were randomly assigned to the MTX (n = 5) or re-PSL (n = 6) groups. After 6 months, neither group showed a significant reduction in CMA values. MTX was comparable to re-PSL in reducing CMA.
    Conclusions: The 6-month regimen of PSL was a potent therapeutic tool for active CS. When MTX was added to low-dose PSL in patients refractory to the initial PSL therapy, there was no significant difference compared with re-PSL. Further studies are needed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of MTX for active CS, including how MTX works when it is administered in higher doses or for longer periods.
