319-OR: Effect of Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) on the Kidney Transcriptome of Youth with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: VSG attenuates early diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in youth with T2D, yet the molecular mechanisms of VSG on kidney health are unknown. We analyzed single-cell RNA sequencing data from paired kidney biopsies obtained from youth with T2D before and 1-year after VSG. Methods: Data from 5 youths with T2D who underwent kidney biopsies before and after VSG were included in this analysis (pre-VSG:17±2 years, HbA1c 7.5±2.6%, BMI 41±3 kg/m2, 40% with albuminuria (UACR≥30mg/g). A total of 23598 cells were profiled from the five paired kidney biopsies, with 19735 cells from 12 HC. Cell selective differentially expressed genes in disease (T2D vs. HC) were computed. Disease genes that reversed directionality post-VSG were termed "suppressed by VSG" or "upregulated by VSG," depending on the direction of the reversal. Results: VSG resulted in the normalization of HbA1c and UACR in all cases at 12 months. Post VSG, 73% of proximal tubule (PT) genes that were upregulated in T2D vs. HC were suppressed in VSG vs. T2D. These suppressed genes were enriched for glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and TCA cycle pathways (Figure). Gene and pathway changes in the PT were similar to what was recently demonstrated with SGLT2i in T2D youth. Conclusion: VSG, like SGLT2i, is associated with reduced central carbon metabolism in the PT and other nephron segments. Disclosure A.Naik: Advisory Panel; CareDx. K.N.Z.Fuller: None. P.E.Ladd: None.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
