2 The ideal biomarker identifies early stages of disease or is indicative of disease prognosis or correlates well with progression, response to therapy and clinically meaningful endpoints 2

3 Clinically useful biomarker should be highly sensitive and specific in detecting disease it should be reproducible and standardized across different clinical laboratories it should be relatively easy to perform so that the information is readily available to clinicians 3

4 Hypothetical ROC: plot of the sensitivity of a test vs. 1-specificity for different cut-off values of a biomarker 4

5 Clinically useful biomarker the inherent error in the technical measurement and the coefficient of variation should be sufficiently low over the entire spectrum of values for the biomarker small changes in the biomarker should reflect true changes in the clinical condition of the patient 5

6 Proposed mechanisms for increased biomarker levels in plasma and urine (1) Increased synthesis in extrarenal tissues (2) Release from circulating immune cells (3) Glomerular filtration Increased biomarker levels in plasma (4) Impaired reabsorption in the proximal tubule (5) Increased synthesis in tubular cells Increased biomarker levels in urine (6) Release from infiltrating immune cells 6 Martensson J et al BJA, 2012

8 Biomarkers in kidney disease 1. biomarkers for early diagnosis of AKI 2. biomarkers to distinguish patients with diff. diagnosis of AKI 3. biomarkers for stratification and prognosis of AKI 4. biomarkers for GFR measurement 5. biomarkers of inflammation and fibrosis 6. biomarkers for evaluation of CKD progression 7. biomarkers for cardiovascular disease prediction in CKD 8

35 - omics informally refers to a field of study in biology such as genomics, proteinomics, metabolomics) 35 Atzler D et al. Nephrol Dial Transplant, 2014

36 Genomics is defined as the study of genes and their functions, and related techniques / the study of the genome and its action genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify genes involved in human disease - this method searches the genome for small variations, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that occur more frequently in people with a particular disease than in people without the disease each study can look at hundreds or thousands of SNPs at the same time

37 UMOD - gene encoding uromodulin ELMO1- engulfment and cell motility 1 gene 37 Atzler D et al. Nephrol Dial Transplant, 2014

38 GoKinD = Genetics of Kidneys in Diabetes study collection 38 Pezzolesi et al. Diabetes, 2009

39 Proteomics proteomics studies the structure and function of proteins, the principal constituents of the protoplasm of all cells proteome is derived from PROTEins expressed by a genome, and it refers to all the proteins produced by an organism, much like the genome is the entire set of genes proteome often is defined as the proteins present in one sample (tissue, organism, cell culture) at a certain point in time 39

40 Proteomics the most commonly used technologies includes twodimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and capillary electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry (CE-MS) proteomic approaches have identified potential biomarkers, including specific collagen fragments, β2 microglobulin, proinflammatory cytokines and retinol binding protein urinary peptide classifier, consisting of 273 defined urinary peptides, was recently discovered as a good classifier in patients with CKD 40

43 Metabolomics is analytical approaches that aim to identify (and quantify) small molecules (metabolites < 1.5 kda) in a single experiment there is no single-instrument platform that can cover all metabolites; therefore, two main technologies, i.e. nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS), are applied 43 Atzler D et al.

47 microrna are endogenously produced short non-coding RNAs about nucleotides in length that have been shown to play a key role in mammalian posttranscriptional gene expression by repressing translation or inducing target degradation, ultimately resulting in gene silencing mirnas are capable of regulating several key biological pathways and cellular functions there are over 1000 mirnas within the human genome and it is estimated that about 60% of the human proteincoding genes can be regulated by mirnas 47 Kato M et al. Free Radic Biol Med, 2013
