Background. Bone morphogenic protein-7 (BMP-7), an essential developmental renal morphogen, is a secreted differentiation factor of the adult collecting duct. It activates receptors in the collecting duct, distal nephron, proximal tubule, and glomerulus. BMP-7 is therapeutic in tubulointerstitial nephritis raising the question of broader efficacy in chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods. Diabetes was induced in 200 g rats by a single dose of streptozotocin. After 16 weeks, glomerular hypertrophy and proteinuria were established, and therapy with BMP-7 (10, 30, or 100 mug/kg intravenously twice a week), enalapril (20 mg/kg), or vehicle was begun and continued until 32 weeks. Kidney weight, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), urine albumin excretion, blood pressure, pathology, and BMP-7 expression were measured.Results. Diabetic vehicle-treated rats developed renal insufficiency by 32 weeks (GFR, 0.34+/-0.02 mL/min/100 g body weight vs. 0.55+/-0.02 in normal). In the diabetic BMP-7 high-dose-treated rats, GFR was preserved (0.70+/-0.08, P
