Henagliflozin Delays the Progress of Diabetic Nephropathy Via Regulates Gut-Renal Axis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a serious complication of diabetes, and it is also the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the world. The aggravation of progressive proteinuria and the decrease of glomerular filtration rate are the important reasons for the development of DKD into ESRD. It is an important task in the medical field to delay the development of DKD into ESRD. In recent years, gut microbiota disorder has been considered as an important influencing factor of DKD, and the concept of gut-renal axis has attracted more and more attention. The disorder of gut microbiota in DKD patients is mainly manifested by the decrease in the abundance of probiotics such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia, which produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), and the increase in the abundance of uremic toxin-producing bacteria such as Ruminococcus, Alistipes and Subdoligranulum. Improving gut microbiota disorder and increasing the concentration of beneficial metabolites such as SCFA in serum have positive effects on improving DKD. In recent years, with the application of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i), diabetes has been effectively treated. SGLT-2i can reduce blood glucose concentration by inhibiting renal tubular glucose reabsorption, and at the same time, it can play a renal protection role independent of blood glucose reduction by correcting the unbalanced tubuloglomerular feedback during diabetes and improving inflammation. However, the mechanism of its renal protection seems to be more than that. Studies have shown that SGLT-2i can reduce proteinuria in DKD mice by regulating the disordered gut microbiota during DKD, but not all SGLT-2i preparations have the effect of protecting target organs by regulating gut microbiota. Wang found that canagliflozin can regulate the gut microbiota of diabetes mice and improve cardiovascular complications; Lee reported that dapagliflozin could reduce the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroides in DKD mice and increase the abundance of Akkermansia. Yang found that dapagliflozin increased the abundance of Proteobacteria in diabetes rats, but it did not seem to affect the ratio of Firmicutes/Bacteroides. Van Bommel reported that dapagliflozin would not affect the gut microbiot of diabetes patients. Whether henagliflozin can improve DKD by regulating the gut-renal axis is worthy of further study.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Henagliflozin On the basis of basic treatment, the patients in the Hengglinide（tabuletta） intervention group were given Hengglinide once a day, 10mg or 5mg each time in the morning, and continued to intervene for 12 months. |
Drug: Henagliflozin
On the basis of hypoglycemic therapy, the patients in the intervention group were given the drug treatment of hengglinide, once a day, 10mg or 5mg each time, taken in the morning, for 12 months.
|
| Placebo Comparator: Placebo The blank control group was treated with placebo (starch tablets) once a day, 10mg or 5mg each time, taken in the morning for 12 months. |
Drug: Placebo
On the basis of basic treatment, patients in the blank control group were given starch tablets once a day, 10mg or 5mg each time, taken in the morning for 12 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Detection of intestinal flora difference between intervention group and control group with diabetic nephropathy by bacterial 16srDNA sequencing [baseline、1 month、3 month、6 month and 12 month]
16srDNA sequencing was used to detect the difference of relative abundance of different kinds of intestinal flora between the two groups.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Statistical analysis of the degree of proteinuria relief in intervention group and control group. [baseline、1 month、3 month、6 month and 12 month]
T-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to compare the difference of urinary microalbumin creatinine ratio in two groups of diabetic nephropathy patients in regular urine biochemical tests.
