Plasma Prekallikrein Is Associated With Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Type 1 Diabetes

Abstract: The hypothesis that plasma prekallikrein (PK) is a risk factor for the development of vascular complications was assessed in a study using the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)/Epidemiology and Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) cohort of subjects with type 1 diabetes. The circulating levels of plasma PK activity were measured in the plasma of 636 subjects with type 1 diabetes (EDIC years 3–5). Common and internal carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) were measured by B-mode ultrasono… Show more

“…Recent genome-wide meta-analysis studies indicate that the KLKB1 SNP rs3733402 has a positive correlation with circulating B-type natriuretic peptide, a recognized cardioprotective vasodilator in African Americans ( 29 ). Other recent studies show that PK deficient mice ( klkb1 −/− mice) have reduced arterial thrombosis providing support in mouse models to enhance the observation made in human association studies ( 6 9 ). It is of interest that mechanism for delayed thrombosis in klkb1 −/− mice is mediated in part through elevated prostacyclin and vasculo-protective transcription factors Sirt1 and KLF4 with reduction of vessel wall tissue factor and not reduced contact activation as is commonly believed ( 7 ).…”

“…Alternatively, the minor G allele of an exonic SNP rs3733402 (N124S) of KLKB1 is significantly associated with reduced CVD. These data suggest that a selected KLKB1 SNP (rs3733402) mirrors the phenotype observed in patient studies with diabetes and on murine deletions of klkb1 ( 7 9 ).…”

“…Elevated PK levels have been implicated in vascular disease, hypertension and nephropathy in diabetic patients in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology and Diabetes Intervention and Complications Study [108,109]. A PK Asn124Ser polymorphism that reduces HK binding was linked to reduced bradykinin and plasma renin concentrations [110,111], and with reduced risks for hypertension and coronary artery disease [112].…”
