RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Inflammation and endothelial damage play a pivotal role in Fabry disease (FD) manifestations. In daily clinical practice, FD is mainly monitored by traditional biomarkers of target organ injury, such as serum creatinine and proteinuria, which provide no information about inflammation and endothelial damage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated the serum levels of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT), an oxidative stress biomarker, and of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) and syndecan-1 in classical FD patients on enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for at least 6 months and their relationship with Fabry-related cardiac and renal manifestations. RESULTS: Fifty-two classical FD patients (37 females) on ERT for 62.0 ± 27.5 months were included in the study. The main clinical manifestations included nephropathy (67.3%) and cardiomyopathy (21.1%). Serum levels of 3-NT, syndecan-1, and GDF-15 were 33.3 (4.8-111.1) nmol/mL, 55.7 (38.8-74.9) ng/mL, and 541.8 (392.2-784.4) pg/mL, respectively. There was a direct correlation between interventricular septal thickness and serum GDF-15 (r = 0.59; p < 0.001) and syndecan-1 (r = 0.30, p = 0.04). Among kidney parameters, there was a significant correlation between estimated glomerular filtration rate and GDF-15 (r = -0.61; p < 0.001), as well as between 24 h proteinuria and syndecan-1 (r = 0.28; p = 0.04). Serum GDF-15 levels were significantly higher in patients with cardiomyopathy (p = 0.03) as well in those with both nephropathy and cardiomyopathy (p = 0.02) than in patients without these comorbidities. Serum GDF-15 levels were also significantly higher in patients who started ERT at an older age (≥40 years). In multivariate analysis, syndecan-1, 3-NT, GDF-15, time on ERT, and arterial pressure differentiated Fabry patients with both cardiac and renal involvement from those without these manifestations. CONCLUSIONS: GDF-15 and syndecan-1 were associated with parameters of cardiac and renal involvement in classic FD patients on ERT. Their potential association with residual risk and disease outcomes should be investigated.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the potential anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin D supplementation under uremic conditions, both in vivo and in vitro, and its effects on the parameters of mineral metabolism. METHODS: Thirty-two hemodialysis patients were randomly assigned to receive placebo (N=14) or cholecalciferol (N=18) for six months. Serum levels of calcium, phosphate, total alkaline phosphatase, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), and vitamin D were measured at baseline and after three and six months. The levels of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23), interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were also measured at baseline and at six months. Human monocytes were used for in vitro experiments and treated with cholecalciferol (150 nM) and uremic serum. Cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and cathelicidin (CAMP) expression were evaluated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate assay, and real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, respectively. RESULTS: Both patient groups were clinically and biochemically similar at baseline. After six months, the levels of vitamin D and iPTH were higher and lower, respectively, in the cholecalciferol group than in the placebo group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the parameters of mineral metabolism, such as IL-1ß and hs-CRP levels, in both groups. Treatment with uremic serum lowered the monocyte viability (p<0.0001) and increased ROS production (p<0.01) and CAMP expression (p<0.05); these effects were counterbalanced by cholecalciferol treatment (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Thus, cholecalciferol supplementation is an efficient strategy to ameliorate hypovitaminosis D in hemodialysis patients, but its beneficial effects on the control of secondary hyperparathyroidism are relatively unclear. Even though cholecalciferol exhibited anti-inflammatory effects in vitro, its short-term supplementation was not effective in improving the inflammatory profile of patients on hemodialysis, as indicated by the IL-1ß and hs-CRP levels.
