Diabetes Is Associated with Increased Autoreactivity of Mannan-Binding Lectin

Abstract: Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) has been reported to be involved in the pathophysiology of diabetic nephropathy. MBL is a pattern-recognition molecule of the innate immune system that initiates the lectin pathway of the complement system upon recognition of evolutionary conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns or to altered self-tissue. Our group have previously shown direct effects of MBL on diabetes-induced kidney damage, and we hypothesized that MBL may cause autoactivation of the complement system via … Show more

“…Later studies have furthermore demonstrated a predictive role for high MBL serum levels for the development of micro- and macroalbuminuria [25]. In recent studies, we demonstrated that MBL indeed accumulates in the kidneys of diabetic mice with late vascular complications, thus strengthening the hypothesis of an autoreactive role of MBL in diabetic nephropathy [19, 20]. Our present findings further link the complement system to the pathophysiology of complications in type 1 diabetes.…”

“…In vitro studies have suggested that MBL is able to bind to hyperglycemia-induced neoepitopes of the Amadori type and activate complement [35, 36]. By two supplementary designed studies, we have recently found MBL to accumulate in the kidney in an in vivo IVIS study and in the glomerulus by immunofluorescence [19, 20]. As vascular tissue and organs throughout the body are exposed to hyperglycemia in diabetes, autoattack of MBL could potentially occur in several sites.…”

“…36 The increased level of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) regulates risk of developing microalbuminuria and DN. [37][38][39] In addition, Axelgaard et al 40 In conclusion, high-glucose stimulation enhances ALPK1 expression in the kidney in vitro and in vivo. Elevated ALPK1 expression up-regulates the renal levels of CCL2 and CCL5 in cultured kidney cell and in mice model.…”

“…The increased level of mannose‐binding lectin (MBL) regulates risk of developing microalbuminuria and DN . In addition, Axelgaard et al reported that MBL accumulates in the kidney during late DN. These results implicate the critical role of ALPK1 in the pathogenesis of renal injury in patients with chronic gout.…”

“…Which is well-defined as the presence of trace albuminuria followed by a diminished glomerular filtration rate (GFR) [2]. This signifies the inability of kidneys to prevent urinary protein leakage characterizes a significant primary sign of renal impairment in patients with T1DM [3]. One-third of T1DM patient's progress to DN, on the other hand, this incidence is much lower with T1DM [4].…”
