Abstract
Aims
This study aims to investigate miR-486-5p and miR-novel-chr1_40444 expressions in dysglycemic individuals. Validating RNA-sequencing findings in a larger sample via reverse transcription qPCR (RT-qPCR), we aim to address global diagnostic and screening limitations, using an African cohort as an example.
Materials and Methods
This cross-sectional study involved 1,271 individuals [normoglycemic (n = 974), prediabetic (n = 206), screen-detected type 2 diabetes (n = 91)] from the ongoing Vascular and Metabolic Health (VMH) study in Cape Town, South Africa. Whole blood miRNA expression was assessed using TaqMan-based RT-qPCR, with data normalized to an endogenous control (miR-16-5p).
Results
Significant underexpression was observed in prediabetes vs normoglycemia for miR-486-5p (P = 0.038), whilst both miRNAs demonstrated significant upregulation in screen-detected type 2 diabetes vs normoglycemia (miR-486-5p, P = 0.009; miR-novel-chr1_40444, P < 0.001), and screen-detected type 2 diabetes in comparison with prediabetes (miR-486-5p, P < 0.001; miR-novel-chr1_40444, P < 0.001). Multivariable regression analyses revealed pronounced interrelations between miR-novel-chr1_40444 and screen-detected type 2 diabetes in unadjusted and adjusted models (Model 1: P < 0.001, Model 2: P < 0.001, Model 3: P = 0.030). Moreover, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves revealed significantly enhanced diagnostic capabilities for screen-detected type 2 diabetes vs either normoglycemia (AUC = 0.971, P < 0.001), non-diabetes (AUC = 0.959, P < 0.001), or prediabetes (AUC = 0.902, P < 0.001) when combining the miRNAs with 2 h postprandial glucose.
Conclusions
This study demonstrated the enhanced power of incorporating miRNAs with traditional markers in distinguishing screen-detected type 2 diabetes, warranting further investigations on their unique role in the development of type 2 diabetes.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes Investigation is your core diabetes journal from Asia; the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). The journal publishes original research, country reports, commentaries, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, letters, as well as editorials and news. Embracing clinical and experimental research in diabetes and related areas, the Journal of Diabetes Investigation includes aspects of prevention, treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology. Translational research focused on the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers is also welcome. Journal of Diabetes Investigation is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
