BACKGROUND: Microalbuminuria (MA) has been questioned as a predictor of progressive renal dysfunction in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Consequently, new clinical end points are needed that identify or predict patients that are at risk for early renal function decline (ERFD). The potential clinical utility of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis of blood plasma and other biofluids has recently been reported. This method provides an alternate physical basis with which to study disease-associated changes in the bulk plasma proteome. METHODS: DSC analysis of blood plasma was applied to identify unique signatures of ERFD in subjects enrolled in the 1st Joslin Study of the Natural History of Microalbuminuria in Type 1 Diabetes, a prospective cohort study of T1D patients. Recent data suggests that differences in the plasma peptidome of these patients correlate with longitudinal measures of renal function. Differences in DSC profile (thermogram) features were evaluated between T1D MA individuals exhibiting ERFD (n=15) and matched control subjects (n=14). RESULTS: The average control group thermogram resembled a previously defined healthy thermogram. Differences were evident between ERFD and control individuals. Heat capacity values of the main two transitions were found to be significant discriminators of patient status. CONCLUSIONS: Results from this pilot study suggest the potential utility of DSC proteome analysis to prognostic indicators of renal disease in T1D. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: DSC shows sensitivity to changes in the bulk plasma proteome that correlate with clinical status in T1D providing additional support for the utility of DSC profiling in clinical diagnostics.
