The changes in glomerular extracellular matrices components in diabetic nephropathy were investigated. Indirect immunofluorescence staining, using polyclonal antibodies to heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HS-PG), laminin, type IV collagen, and fibronectin was carried out on renal specimens obtained by needle biopsy. Immunofluorescence intensity and distribution were observed. HS-PG and laminin decreased in the capillary walls; on the other hand, type IV collagen and fibronectin tended to increase in the mesangial area. HS-PG and laminin decreased in inverse proportion to sclerosis grades and proteinuria. These changes seemed to play an important role in progression of diabetic glomerulosclerosis.
