KIM-1 protein, a biomarker associated with kidney disease

Keywords: KIM-1, biomarker, kidney disease, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease

Abstract

Kidney disease refers to a functional abnormality in the kidneys that has health implications. In Mexico, acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease have a high incidence and represent a public health problem with significant economic repercussions. The timely diagnosis of kidney disease would have a positive effect on the treatment and prognosis of the disease. KIM-1(Kidney Injury Molecule-1) is a glycoprotein that acts as a receptor for phosphatidylserine and TIM-4 (T-Cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin Domain-4). Although it is expressed in various cells and tissues, its expression occurs mainly in proximal tubular epithelial cells in nephrons. In healthy people, KIM-1 is not expressed, but during tubular epithelial cell injury it is overexpressed, and its soluble fraction is secreted into urine and/ or filtered into the blood, increasing its concentration, and allowing detection in these fluids; for this reason, it has been proposed as a biomarker for kidney injury. In early stages, KIM-1 has a protective role against kidney insult, but its sustained expression in tubular epithelial cells has been associated with chronic kidney disease or kidney fibrosis. In this review, we describe KIM-1 structure, expression, and function in both, immune system, and kidney disease.
