The blood concentration of intact proinsulin, but not total proinsulin, has been suggested to be a diagnostic marker for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but a sensitive assay specific for rodent intact proinsulin is lacking. Here, a novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for mouse intact proinsulin was developed. The developed ELISA detected mouse intact proinsulin with the working range of 8.3 to 2700 pg/ml. Cross-reactivity with mouse split-32,33 proinsulin was approximately 100 times lower than the reactivity with mouse intact proinsulin, and no cross-reactivity with mouse insulin was detected. The developed ELISA was sufficiently sensitive to detect low levels of intact proinsulin in normal mouse plasma. The measurement by the developed ELISA revealed that intact proinsulin was elevated in the plasma of type 2 diabetic db/db mice as mice aged, and the ratio of intact proinsulin/insulin in plasma was correlated with levels of glycated hemoglobin A1c as seen in T2DM patients. These results suggest that the plasma level of intact proinsulin, but not total proinsulin, is a sensitive marker for pancreatic dysfunction and the ensuring diabetic disease progression of db/db mice. This ELISA could aid nonclinical evaluation of therapeutic interventions in T2DM. 相似文献

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) has been identified as a pro-inflammatory cytokine which is thought to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. However, to date, the various associations between factors related to the course of type 2 diabetes, like metabolic compensation, beta cell secretory dysfunction, insulin resistance and IL-12 serum levels, remain unclear. Our study involved 41 patients with type 2 diabetes, 19 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and 19 healthy controls. We measured serum levels of fasting glucose, HbA1c, 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol, and lipids. In addition, serum levels of C-peptide, insulin, proinsulin and IL-12 were assayed. HOMAIR score was calculated. The serum concentrations of IL-12 were higher in diabetics than in either patients with CAD or healthy controls, and were correlated with BMI, C-peptide, insulin, HOMAIR, proinsulin and HDL serum levels. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the IL-12 serum level in type 2 diabetics primarily is dependent upon fasting proinsulin concentration. Our results demonstrate that elevated IL-12 serum levels in type 2 diabetics treated with sulphonylureas are induced especially by peripheral insulin resistance and beta cells dysfunction, as expressed by fasting serum proinsulin levels. This finding gives us hope that treatment to decrease peripheral insulin resistance and to avoid excessive proinsulin secretion might be successful in the prevention of IL-12-induced atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Background
Diabetes mellitus is a common immune mediated disorder. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the level of serum and salivary IgA levels in patients with Type 1 diabetes.Material and Method
In this case control study, serum and salivary IgA levels of patients with diabetes type 1 and similar non diabetes subjects were measured. Age, gender, duration of diabetes and the last HbA1c level of diabetic patients were also studied. Data was analyzed by SPSS software.Results
Two hundred and fifty subjects (126 diabetics and 124 non diabetics) were enrolled in the study. The mean value of serum IgA in patients with Type 1 Diabetes and controls was 1.77± 1.55 g/lit and 2.39± 1.52 g/lit, respectively. The mean salivary IgA level in diabetics and controls was 276 ± 162.5 40 μg/ml and 129 ± 112.2 40 μg/ml, respectively. Selective IgA deficiency was detected in two (1.6%) and three(2.4%)cases of diabetic and control group; respectively (p=0.68). We found low salivary IgA level in 44.4% diabetic and 33.9% control (p=0.08). There was no significant correlation between serum and salivary IgA level. There was also significant association between serum IgA levels with age. Salivary IgA was significantly correlated with HbA1c level. But considering gender, duration of diabetes we didn’t find any association.Conclusion
We didn''t find any significant difference in serum and salivary IgA level among diabetic and non diabetics and also, no association between serum and salivary IgA levels. 相似文献4.

Upon chronic up-regulation of proinsulin synthesis, misfolded proinsulin can accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of pancreatic β-cells, promoting ER stress and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In Mutant Ins-gene-induced Diabetes of Youth (MIDY), misfolded mutant proinsulin impairs ER exit of co-expressed wild-type proinsulin, limiting insulin production and leading to eventual β-cell death. In this study we have investigated the hypothesis that increased expression of ER oxidoreductin-1α (Ero1α), despite its established role in the generation of H2O2, might nevertheless be beneficial in limiting proinsulin misfolding and its adverse downstream consequences. Increased Ero1α expression is effective in promoting wild-type proinsulin export from cells co-expressing misfolded mutant proinsulin. In addition, we find that upon increased Ero1α expression, some of the MIDY mutants themselves are directly rescued from ER retention. Secretory rescue of proinsulin-G(B23)V is correlated with improved oxidative folding of mutant proinsulin. Indeed, using three different variants of Ero1α, we find that expression of either wild-type or an Ero1α variant lacking regulatory disulfides can rescue mutant proinsulin-G(B23)V, in parallel with its ability to provide an oxidizing environment in the ER lumen, whereas beneficial effects were less apparent for a redox-inactive form of Ero1. Increased expression of protein disulfide isomerase antagonizes the rescue provided by oxidatively active Ero1. Importantly, ER stress induced by misfolded proinsulin was limited by increased expression of Ero1α, suggesting that enhancing the oxidative folding of proinsulin may be a viable therapeutic strategy in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

We studied serum level of intestinal flora endotoxin (LPS) in 45 children and adolescents aged 3-17 years old with diabetes mellitus type 1. Levels of endotoxin, were significantly elevated in type 1 diabetic patients (2.89 +/- 0.33 Eu/ml) compared with control (0.4 +/- 0.03 Eu/ml). There was significant difference in serum LPS levels in patients with type 1 diabetes onset (3.93 +/- 0.79 Eu/ml) compared with children and adolescent with old time diabetes (2.37 +/- 0.27 Eu/ml). These results have a major implication on our understanding of the role of gut flora endotoxin in pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. 相似文献

TCF7L2 and SLC30A8 have been found to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as well as with impaired proinsulin
processing recently, enzymes encoded by PCSK1 and PCSK2 are reported to play an important role in the process of proinsulin
conversion. To investigate whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of TCF7L2, SLC30A8, PCSK1 and PCSK2 were associated
with T2DM as well as with proinsulin conversion in a Han Chinese population from Chongqing. A case–control study was performed
in Han Chinese subjects with normal control (n = 152) and T2DM (n = 227), we genotyped rs7903146 and rs11196218 at TCF7L2, rs13266634 at SLC30A8, rs3811951 at PCSK1 and rs2021785 at PCSK2.
Plasma levels of proinsulin were measured with an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Genotype distribution and associations
with T2DM and fasting levels of proinsulin and proinsulin/insulin ratios were analyzed. We confirmed the association of risk
allele of rs2021785 at PCSK2 with type 2 diabetes also existed in Han Chinese population [OR = 1.4489 with 95% CI (1.0285,
2.0412), P = 0.0335]. Rs13266634 at SLC30A8 had a tendency to be associated with fasting plasma levels of proinsulin (P = 0.0639 in additive model). We did not find the significant association between other SNPs and T2DM or fasting levels of
proinsulin or proinsulin/insulin ratios. Our results provide evidence that the association of PCSK2 and T2DM was also existed
in Han Chinese population in Chongqing. We were underpowered to detect the association between other SNPs and T2DM or proinsulin
conversion. 相似文献

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the serum level of netrin and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-I) in patients with type IΙ diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and evaluate the association of their levels with the development of a diabetic complication.Patients and methodsThis study was carried out on type II diabetic patients with and without complications and healthy individuals served as controls. All subjects were submitted to the estimation of serum lipid profile, serum creatinine, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), visceral adiposity index (VAI), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), lipid accumulation product (LAP) and detection of serum level of netrin1 and VCAM1.ResultsDiabetic patients with complications had significantly higher serum levels of creatinine, ACR, cholesterol, Triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, netrin1, and VCAM1 than diabetic patients without complications. Likewise, the level of VAI and LAP as markers of excessive body fat were significantly higher in diabetic patients with complications than diabetic patients without complications. The netrin1 and VCAM1 were a significant discriminator of T2DM renal complications with a sensitivity of 96%, 90%, and specificity of 82.7%, 91.3% respectively.ConclusionIt can be concluded that serum netrin1 and VCAM1 correlated significantly with markers of excessive body fat, a renal complication in the patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine the reference interval of serum cobalt-binding capacity (CoBC), and to estimate the effect of factors unrelated to oxidative modification of serum albumin on this diagnostic marker. Healthy volunteers (n = 194), patients with autoimmune diseases (n = 44) and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 50) were enrolled in the study. The regional reference interval was found to be 0,462–0,744 mmol Co2+/L of serum. The study of serum CoBC in patients with autoimmune pathology and type 2 diabetes mellitus has shown that the CoBC level strongly depends on the serum protein profile. Therefore, this test may be used to diagnose the ischemia, although other pathologies associated with changes in the ratio of blood protein fractions can also influence the serum CoBC level. 相似文献

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is heterogeneous in many facets. The patients suffered from type 1 diabetes present several levels of islet function as well as variable number and type of islet-specific autoantibodies. This study was to investigate prevalence and heterogeneity of the islet autoantibodies and clinical phenotypes of type 1 diabetes mellitus; and also discussed the process of islet failure and its risk factors in Chinese type 1 diabetic patients. A total of 1,291 type 1 diabetic patients were enrolled in this study. Demographic information was collected. Laboratory tests including mixed-meal tolerance test, human leukocyte antigen alleles, hemoglobinA1c, lipids, thyroid function and islet autoantibodies were conducted. The frequency of islet-specific autoantibody in newly diagnosed T1DM patients (duration shorter than half year) was 73% in East China. According to binary logistic regressions, autoantibody positivity, longer duration and lower Body Mass Index were the risk factors of islet failure. As the disease developed, autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase declined as well as the other two autoantibodies against zinc transporter 8 and islet antigen 2. The decrease of autoantibodies was positively correlated with aggressive beta cell destruction. Autoantibodies can facilitate the identification of classic T1DM from other subtypes and predict the progression of islet failure. As there were obvious heterogeneity in autoantibodies and clinical manifestation in different phenotypes of the disease, we should take more factors into consideration when identifying type 1 diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

Objective: To explore the relationship between serum bilirubin concentration and clinicopathologic features and renal outcome in biopsy-diagnosed diabetic nephropathy (DN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: In this retrospective study, 118 patients with DN were enrolled. Participants were divided into two groups according to their median baseline serum bilirubin concentration: Group 1 (serum bilirubin ≤7.5 μmol /L); Group 2 (serum bilirubin >7.5 μmol /L). Basic clinical parameters were measured at the time of renal biopsy, and the relationships between serum bilirubin and the clinicopathologic features and renal outcome were analyzed.Results: Patients in Group 1 often had inferior renal function. Compared with Group 2, the glomerular classification and interstitial inflammation were more severe in subjects of Group 1, while arteriolar hyalinosis and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) were comparable between the groups. Serum bilirubin was negatively correlated with the severity of the glomerular classification, interstitial inflammation, and IFTA. In the prognostic analysis, higher serum bilirubin level was associated with a lower risk of progression to end-stage renal disease, which was independent of the effects of age, gender, duration of diabetes, anemia, serum glucose, and hypertension but not of estimated glomerular filtration rate (hazard ratio, 0.406; 95% confidence interval, 0.074 to 2.225; P = .299).Conclusion: Our study showed a negative correlation between serum bilirubin level and renal pathologic lesions in patients with DN; serum bilirubin showed an inverse association with DN progression, but this was not independent.Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; CKD = chronic kidney disease; DM = diabetes mellitus; DN = diabetic nephropathy; DR = diabetic retinopathy; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; ESRD = end-stage renal disease; HbA1c = glycated hemoglobin; HO-1 = heme oxygenase 1; HR = hazard ratio; IFTA = interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy; log-BIL = log-transformed baseline serum bilirubin; T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus 相似文献

The study aimed at assessing ICA and CF-ICA in the serum of patients with newly diagnosed and short-lasting diabetes mellitus type 1. Sixty patients with newly diagnosed diabetes type 1 (39 patients) and short-lasting diabetes of the same type (21 patients) aged between 2 and 34 years were classified. Anti-islet antibodies were detected with indirect immunoflourescence in specimens of fresh, frozen human pancreast in the tested group ICA were found in 53% of cases. At the time of diagnosis, ICA were found in 76% of children and in 14% of adult patients whereas respective data for diabetes mellitus lasting up to 2 years were 40% and 64%. Complement-fixing islet cytoplasmatic antibodies were found only in patients with ICA (47% of such cases). These antibodies were found in children with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus (36%). In case of adults CF-ICA were detected in 7% of newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus cases and in 45% of cases with the disease lasting for 2 years. Titres of ICA ranged from 1:1 to 1:128 whereas titres CF-ICA from 1:1 to 1:8. No correlation between ICA titre and CF-ICA titre was noted. 相似文献

The 125I-C1q binding test for the detection of soluble immune complexes in native unheated human serum was applied to the study of sera from 52 patients with diabetes mellitus in childhood. This radiolabeled C1q binding test is more sensitive and reproducible among the various methods proposed for the detection of immune complexes. The 125I-C1q binding activity in 52 sera from diabetes mellitus in childhood was 9.47 +/- 0.36% compared to 6.94 +/- 0.74% in normal controls. 125I-C1q binding values in diabetes mellitus in childhood were significantly higher than normal controls. Slight high values were seen in 3 patients with positive anti-DNA-antibodies in diabetes mellitus in childhood. 125I-C1q binding was not significantly increased in patients with positive antithyroid antibodies and insulin antibodies. There was no significant correlation between the duration of diabetes and 125I-C1q binding activity. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Prior studies have provided data indicating the existence of close interaction between pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function, but few clinical studies have explored this relationship in depth. We compared pancreatic exocrine function non-endoscopically in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and normal glucose tolerant controls, to assess the importance of local insulin production to pancreatic exocrine function. METHODS: The plasma amylase response to intravenous secretin challenge was measured in men with type 1 diabetes mellitus (n = 5), type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 5), and normal controls (n = 3). Patients were characterized by their urinary excretion of c-peptide and albumin over 24 hours. Autonomic neuropathy was non-invasively assessed by measuring RR variation (with deep respiration on EKG). RESULTS: Post-secretin amylase responses were generally absent with low baseline levels in the patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and controls showed similar twofold increases over baseline after secretin administration. When normal glucose tolerant and type 2 diabetic patients were pooled and compared against type 1 diabetes mellitus, the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.03). Total amylase response correlated positively, but weakly, with 24 h urinary C-peptide excretion (r = 0.507; p < 0.112), but not with glycemic control, duration of diabetes, or indices of autonomic neuropathy. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, but not type 2 diabetes mellitus, have reduced pancreatic exocrine function, supporting the concept of a local paracrine effect of insulin on pancreatic acinar cells. Further studies are needed to determine the clinical impact of this deficiency, and whether such patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus would benefit from therapy with pancreatic enzyme supplementation. 相似文献

Relating to the Williams' report suggesting twofold higher incidence of diabetes mellitus in patients with the cancer of the colon, the study aiming at comparing an incidence of diabetes mellitus in patients with stomach, lung, and colon malignancies were carried out. Coexistence of the above listed neoplasms with diabetes mellitus type II was assessed in patients hospitalized at the Department of Gastroenterology and Metabolic Diseases, Institute of the Internal Diseases, Medical Academy in Warsaw within 1978-1986. Moreover, glycaemia and insulinemia curves were plotted following oral glucose load (75 g) in 16 patients with the cancer of the colon and 15 patients without malignancy. Only patients with body weight not exceeding 10% of the normal body weight, without history of diabetes mellitus and not treated with corticosteroids were classified for the study. Mean glycaemia and insulinemia values did not differ statistically in the investigated groups except statistically significantly higher serum insulin level in patients with cancer of the lung in the thirties minute of the test. Differences statistically significant were also not observed in retrospective analysis. However, an incidence of diabetes mellitus in patients with the cancer of the colon was 10.5% being higher than mean incidence of diabetes mellitus in this age group. Moreover, glucose load test has shown tolerance abnormalities in 4 patients with cancer of the colon, 1 patient with cancer of the lung, and 1 patient without malignancy. The obtained results indicate tendency to higher incidence of carbohydrate metabolism disorders in patients with cancer of the colon. 相似文献

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is known to a neuropeptide that plays important roles in water conservation, sodium homeostasis,
and in the regulation of serum osmolality. Several studies have reported that the elevated AVP level is related with diabetes
mellitus as an acute or chronic stressor using type 1 diabetes mellitus animal models. However, it is unclear as to how the
immunoreactivity and protein level of AVP in the brain is regulated in animal models of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the present
study, Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats were employed as a type 2 diabetes mellitus model and were compared with Zucker lean
control (ZLC) rats with respect to AVP protein expression. Furthermore, in order to verify the regulation of AVP expression
before and after the onset of diabetes mellitus, pre-diabetic rats (4 week-old) and obese-diabetic rats (12 week-old) were
used. Blood glucose levels and water consumption were also measured and the results showed significantly high in 12 week-old
ZDF than any other groups. AVP expression levels in the paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nucleus were found to be significantly
higher in 12 week-old ZDF rats than in 12 week-old ZLC rats and than in 4 week-old rats by immunostaining and western blotting.
Enhanced expression of AVP in these animals may be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The folding of proinsulin, the single-chain precursor of insulin, ensures native disulfide pairing in pancreatic β-cells. Mutations that impair folding cause neonatal diabetes mellitus. Although the classical structure of insulin is well established, proinsulin is refractory to crystallization. Here, we employ heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy to characterize a monomeric analogue. Proinsulin contains a native-like insulin moiety (A- and B-domains); the tethered connecting (C) domain (as probed by {1H}-15N nuclear Overhauser enhancements) is progressively less ordered. Although the BC junction is flexible, residues near the CA junction exhibit α-helical-like features. Relative to canonical α-helices, however, segmental 13Cα/β chemical shifts are attenuated, suggesting that this junction and contiguous A-chain residues are molten. We propose that flexibility at each C-domain junction facilitates prohormone processing. Studies of protease SPC3 (PC1/3) suggest that C-domain sequences contribute to cleavage site selection. The structure of proinsulin provides a foundation for studies of insulin biosynthesis and its impairment in monogenic forms of diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

A study of the genetic determination of latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) is conducted on data consisting of clinical and genealogical data on 51 patients with LADA, 400 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 1 diabetes mellitus), and 504 patients with insulin-independent diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes mellitus), along with relatives of these patients (first degree of consanguinity). Testing of the Smith model revealed the genetic independence of LADA and both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. A study of genetic heterogeneity in accordance with the Smith model showed that LADA shares roughly the same number of common genes with type 1 diabetes mellitus and with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which also determines the clinical course of this form of diabetes. The inheritance of LADA is described by parameters of a polygenic threshold model. Within the framework of this model, it is found that genetic factors are responsible for 60.4% of the development of the disease. 相似文献

Autoantigenic peptides resulting from self-proteins such as proinsulin are important players in the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D). Self-proteins can be processed by cathepsins (Cats) within endocytic compartments and loaded to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules for CD4(+) T cell inspection. However, the processing and presentation of proinsulin by antigen-presenting cells (APC) in humans is only partially understood. Here we demonstrate that the processing of proinsulin by B cell or myeloid dendritic cell (mDC1)-derived lysosomal cathepsins resulted in several proinsulin-derived intermediates. These intermediates were similar to those obtained using purified CatG and, to a lesser extent, CatD, S, and V in vitro. Some of these intermediates polarized T cell activation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from T1D patients indicative for naturally processed T cell epitopes. Furthermore, CatG activity was found to be elevated in PBMC from T1D patients and abrogation of CatG activity resulted in functional inhibition of proinsulin-reactive T cells. Our data suggested the notion that CatG plays a critical role in proinsulin processing and is important in the activation process of diabetogenic T cells. 相似文献

Recent data indicate that serum Hsp70 (HSPA1A) levels are increased in type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus. However, there is no report in the literature on circulating Hsp70 levels in gestational diabetes mellitus. In this pilot study, we measured serum Hsp70 levels in 11 pregnant women with pregestational diabetes, 38 women with gestational diabetes, and 40 healthy pregnant women with ELISA. Plasma glucose levels, serum insulin concentrations, HbA1c values, and the Homeostatic Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) index were also determined. According to our results, serum Hsp70 concentrations were significantly higher in women with pregestational and gestational diabetes mellitus than in healthy pregnant women. In addition, pregestational diabetic women had significantly higher Hsp70 levels than those with gestational diabetes. Furthermore, in the group of women with gestational diabetes mellitus, serum Hsp70 levels showed a significant positive correlation with HbA1c values. However, there was no other relationship between clinical features and metabolic parameters of the study subjects and their serum Hsp70 levels in either study group. In conclusion, we demonstrated for the first time in the literature that serum Hsp70 levels are increased and correlate with HbA1c values in women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to determine whether circulating Hsp70 plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes or elevated serum Hsp70 levels are only consequences of the disease. 相似文献
