AIMS/HYPOTHESISMetformin, a mainstay of treatment for type 2 diabetes, can cause vitamin B12 deficiency. Clinical risk factors have been identified but genetic factors remain undiscovered. Our objective was to identify and validate genetic predisposing factors and establish clinical utility.METHODSIndividuals with metformin-induced vitamin B12 deficiency (n=487) and metformin-tolerant control individuals (n=6686) were identified in UK Biobank. Genome-wide association analysis was undertaken using logistic regression. Replication was undertaken in three cohorts: a Scottish cohort; the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS); and a separate cohort from Liverpool. In the Liverpool cohort, plasma metformin levels were also measured.RESULTSAnalysis identified a genome-wide significant non-synonymous SNP in the cubilin gene (CUBN, rs1801222/p.S253F) associated with metformin-induced vitamin B12 deficiency (additive model; adjusted p=1.86×10-10; OR 1.56 [95% CI 1.36, 1.79] for AG vs GG genotype; OR 2.43 [95% CI 1.85, 3.20] for AA vs GG genotype), which was replicated in both the Scottish and the DPPOS cohorts. Vitamin B12 deficiency occurred in 0.84-1.20% of non-metformin-exposed individuals regardless of rs1801222 genotype. However, a large interaction with metformin use was observed, with vitamin B12 deficiency occurring at 6.02% in GG, 7.96% in GA and 12.84% in AA genotype groups. When followed up from metformin initiation, 10% with the AA genotype were vitamin B12 deficient by 11 years vs 21 years for 10% of the GG group.CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATIONThe observed genetic association suggests that the rs180122 genotype should be considered a significant risk factor for metformin-induced vitamin B12 deficiency. While clinical monitoring of serum vitamin B12 levels in patients on metformin is inconsistently done, this finding highlights the potential clinical utility of targeted monitoring for certain subsets of individuals, including those genetically at high risk.
目的/假设二甲双胍是治疗2型糖尿病的主要药物,可导致维生素B12缺乏。临床危险因素已经确定,但遗传因素仍未发现。我们的目的是确定和验证遗传易感因素,并建立临床应用。方法在英国生物银行(UK Biobank)鉴定二甲双胍诱导的维生素B12缺乏症(n=487)和二甲双胍耐受对照(n=6686)。采用logistic回归进行全基因组关联分析。在三个队列中进行了重复研究:苏格兰队列;糖尿病预防项目结果研究(DPPOS);另一组来自利物浦。在利物浦队列中,也测量了血浆二甲双胍水平。结果在cubilin基因(CUBN, rs1801222/p)中发现了一个全基因组显著的非同义SNP。S253F)与二甲双胍诱导的维生素B12缺乏症相关(加性模型;校正p=1.86×10-10; AG与GG基因型的OR为1.56 [95% CI 1.36, 1.79]; AA与GG基因型的OR为2.43 [95% CI 1.85, 3.20]),该结果在苏格兰和DPPOS队列中都得到了重复。无论rs1801222基因型如何,非二甲双胍暴露个体中维生素B12缺乏症发生率为0.84-1.20%。然而,与二甲双胍的使用有很大的相互作用,GG、GA和AA基因型组维生素B12缺乏率分别为6.02%、7.96%和12.84%。当从二甲双胍开始随访时,10%的AA基因型缺乏维生素B12 11年,而10%的GG组缺乏维生素B12 21年。结论/解释观察到的遗传关联提示rs180122基因型应被认为是二甲双胍诱导的维生素B12缺乏症的重要危险因素。虽然对服用二甲双胍的患者血清维生素B12水平的临床监测并不一致,但这一发现强调了对某些个体亚群(包括那些遗传上高风险的个体)进行针对性监测的潜在临床效用。

AIMS/HYPOTHESISRegenerating endogenous pancreatic beta cells is a potentially curative yet currently elusive strategy for diabetes therapy. Mimicking the microenvironment of the developing pancreas and leveraging vascular signals that support pancreatic endocrinogenesis may promote beta cell regeneration. We aimed to investigate whether recovery from experimental hypovascularisation of the endocrine pancreas could trigger mouse beta cell proliferation.METHODSA doxycycline (DOX)-inducible transgenic mouse model was used to induce conditional intra-islet hypovascularisation. In this model, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A signalling within pancreatic islets is antagonised through beta cell-specific overexpression of a VEGF-A decoy receptor, soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFLT1). Cessation of sFLT1 overexpression was induced by DOX withdrawal. sFLT1 expression, vessel kinetics and beta cell proliferation upon DOX administration and withdrawal were analysed using quantitative RT-PCR and immunostaining. Single-cell RNA-seq was used to investigate the effects on the islet cells' transcriptome and perform pathway enrichment analysis. RIP-rtTA;TetO-GFP mice were studied in parallel to assess the dependency of cell cycle induction on vessel manipulation. Additionally, in vitro experiments were conducted to further elucidate and validate our in vivo findings.RESULTSSerendipitously, we discovered that sFLT1 overexpression in beta cells induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and activates proliferation-associated pathways. Upon cessation of sFLT1 overexpression, ER stress decreased and beta cell proliferation was promoted independently of vessel recovery, as shown by cumulative BrdU labelling over 7 days (mean ± SEM vs control: 14.3 ± 1.3% vs 5.2 ± 0.6%) during the DOX withdrawal period. Transient GFP overexpression also induced ER stress and a subsequent reduction thereof resulted in increased beta cell proliferation (mean ± SEM vs control: 7.2 ± 0.4% vs 5.1 ± 0.5%). Chemical, transient induction of ER stress in vitro by ER-stress-inducing compounds reproduced this beta cell cycling response, as assessed by cumulative EdU labelling during a 3 day washout period (mean ± SEM vs control: 2.6 ± 0.4% vs 0.8 ± 0.2% for thapsigargin and 3.8 ± 0.9% vs 1.0 ± 0.2% for tunicamycin), which further increased under high-glucose conditions when islets were exposed to thapsigargin (mean ± SEM vs control: 9.0 ± 1.2% vs 2.0 ± 0.4%).CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATIONOur findings uncover a link between transgene (over)expression, ER stress, glucose and cell cycle activation in mouse beta cells.DATA AND CODE AVAILABILITYThe single-cell RNA-seq data generated in this study are deposited at GEO (NCBI) with accession code GSE274443.
目的/假设再生内源性胰腺β细胞是一种潜在的治疗糖尿病的策略,但目前尚不明确。模拟发育中的胰腺微环境和利用支持胰腺内分泌发生的血管信号可能促进β细胞再生。我们的目的是研究从实验性胰腺内分泌血管减少中恢复是否会触发小鼠β细胞增殖。方法采用多西环素(DOX)诱导的转基因小鼠模型诱导条件胰岛内低血管化。在该模型中,胰岛内的血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)-A信号通过β细胞特异性过表达VEGF-A诱骗受体,可溶性fms样酪氨酸激酶1 (sFLT1)被拮抗。停用DOX可诱导sFLT1过表达的停止。使用定量RT-PCR和免疫染色分析sFLT1表达、血管动力学和β细胞增殖在DOX给药和停药后的变化。单细胞RNA-seq用于研究对胰岛细胞转录组的影响,并进行途径富集分析。RIP-rtTA;平行研究TetO-GFP小鼠,以评估血管操作对细胞周期诱导的依赖性。此外,我们还进行了体外实验来进一步阐明和验证我们在体内的发现。结果我们偶然发现sFLT1在β细胞中的过表达可诱导内质网(ER)应激并激活增殖相关途径。停止sFLT1过表达后,内质膜应激降低,β细胞增殖独立于血管恢复而得到促进,正如在DOX停药期间7天内累积BrdU标记所显示的那样(平均±SEM vs对照组:14.3±1.3% vs 5.2±0.6%)。瞬时GFP过表达也会诱导内质网应激,随后的内质网应激降低导致β细胞增殖增加(平均±SEM vs对照组:7.2±0.4% vs 5.1±0.5%)。通过3天洗脱期的累积EdU标记(平均±SEM vs对照组:2.6±0.4% vs 0.8±0.2% thapsigargin, 3.8±0.9% vs 1.0±0.2% tunicamycin)来评估,内质酰胺应激诱导化合物在体外的化学瞬时诱导内质酰胺应激重现了这种β细胞循环反应,当胰岛暴露于thapsigargin时,高糖条件下进一步增加(平均±SEM vs对照组:9.0±1.2% vs 2.0±0.4%)。结论/解释:我们的研究结果揭示了小鼠β细胞中转基因(过)表达、内质网应激、葡萄糖和细胞周期激活之间的联系。数据和代码可用性本研究生成的单细胞RNA-seq数据存放在GEO (NCBI),登录代码为GSE274443。

AIMS/HYPOTHESISPhysical education (PE) in adolescents with type 1 diabetes remains underexplored despite its key role in shaping adolescents' engagement with physical activity. While the only available data about inclusion of individuals with type 1 diabetes in PE lessons are based on interviews with teachers, this study aimed to explore the first-person perspectives of adolescents.METHODSThis was a child-centred qualitative study using grounded theory. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 25 adolescents (11-15 years) with type 1 diabetes recruited from diverse middle schools.RESULTSStudents' experiences in PE are shaped by the balance between equal participation, recognition of diabetes-related needs and discreet support for autonomous glucose management, which together foster a psychologically healthy environment prompting competence, connection and autonomy. Fear of hypoglycaemia was not identified as a barrier to PE participation. Adolescents instead called for greater teacher support and regretted that excessive caution sometimes undermined their engagement and sense of competence. They sought equal participation without discrimination, with minimal adjustments for hypoglycaemic episodes. The practical constraints of insulin pumps further highlight the need for more discreet technological designs.CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATIONThe study emphasises teachers' central role and the need for education on self-regulating physical effort according to glucose levels, which remains underdeveloped. Practical recommendations are identified to better meet the needs of young people with type 1 diabetes in middle school PE.
目的/假设1型糖尿病青少年的体育教育(PE)在塑造青少年参与体育活动方面发挥着关键作用,但仍未得到充分研究。虽然关于将1型糖尿病患者纳入体育课的唯一可用数据是基于对教师的采访,但本研究旨在探索青少年的第一人称视角。方法本研究以儿童为中心,采用扎根理论进行定性研究。我们对来自不同中学的25名1型糖尿病青少年(11-15岁)进行了半结构化访谈。结果学生的体育体验是通过平等参与、对糖尿病相关需求的认识和对自主血糖管理的谨慎支持之间的平衡来塑造的,这些共同营造了一个促进能力、联系和自主的心理健康环境。对低血糖的恐惧并未被确定为体育参与的障碍。青少年反而要求教师给予更多的支持,并对过度的谨慎有时会破坏他们的参与度和能力感感到遗憾。他们寻求平等参与,不受歧视,对低血糖发作的调整最小。胰岛素泵的实际限制进一步强调了对更谨慎的技术设计的需要。结论/解释:该研究强调了教师的核心作用,以及根据血糖水平自我调节体力的教育的必要性,这方面的教育仍不发达。为更好地满足青少年1型糖尿病患者在中学体育教学中的需求,提出了切实可行的建议。

AIMS/HYPOTHESISMicroRNAs are potential predictors and mediators of metabolic disease. Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is the most common comorbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF). Here we aimed to investigate serum microRNAs in individuals with CF and differing glucose tolerance status. Specifically, we hypothesised that the circulating microRNA profile varies depending on glucose tolerance status and can change rapidly in response to a glucose challenge in individuals with CF.METHODSWe studied a cohort of 93 adult Danish participants with CF from four glucose tolerance categories: normal glucose tolerance, indeterminate glucose tolerance, impaired glucose tolerance and CFRD. In a cross-sectional design we sampled during an OGTT at baseline, 10 min, 30 min, 60 min and 180 min. A total serum microRNA sequencing was performed using baseline and 60 min samples from 12 selected individuals, three from each category. We identified 16 candidate microRNAs, and these were further investigated in the full cohort at all OGTT timepoints using a locked nucleic acid reverse transcription quantitative PCR assay. Three microRNAs were selected for in-depth assessment including impact on insulin secretion.RESULTSWe identified four microRNAs differentially expressed at baseline (miR-34a-5p, miR-122-5p, miR-885-3 and miR-885-5p) and 12 with differential expression changes in response to glucose ingestion. Locked nucleic acid reverse transcription quantitative PCR assay validated the results of eight of these microRNAs and miR-34a-5p, miR-122-5p and miR-223-3p were selected for in-depth assessment. MiR-34a-5p and miR-122-5p were elevated at baseline in indeterminate glucose tolerance and CFRD and were associated with elevated liver damage markers. MiR-223-3p was differentially expressed during the OGTT, with different patterns depending on glucose tolerance state. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was increased after overexpression of miR-122-5p or miR-223-3p and cell viability was decreased after overexpression of miR-34a-5p in insulin-secreting cells.CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATIONMiR-34a-5p and miR-122-5p show potential as biomarkers for CFRD development and liver damage. MiR-122-5p and miR-223-3p could mitigate CFRD development by increasing the secretory capacity of the beta cells while miR-34a-5p might propagate CFRD development by reducing cell viability. We propose that circulating microRNAs can serve as biomarkers for CF complications. We further advocate that circulating microRNAs can play a part in the intricate crosstalk between metabolic organs and the endocrine pancreas in health and disease.
目的/假设microrna是代谢性疾病的潜在预测因子和介质。囊性纤维化相关性糖尿病(CFRD)是囊性纤维化(CF)最常见的合并症。在这里,我们的目的是研究CF患者和不同葡萄糖耐量状态的血清microrna。具体来说,我们假设循环microRNA谱的变化取决于糖耐量状态,并且可以在CF患者的葡萄糖挑战下迅速改变。方法我们研究了93名成年CF患者的队列,他们来自四种糖耐量类别:正常糖耐量,不确定糖耐量,糖耐量受损和CFRD。在横断面设计中,我们在基线、10分钟、30分钟、60分钟和180分钟的OGTT期间取样。使用基线和60分钟样本从12个选定的个体中进行总血清microRNA测序,每个类别中有3个。我们确定了16个候选microrna,并使用锁定核酸反转录定量PCR法在所有OGTT时间点的全队列中进一步研究了这些候选microrna。选择三个microrna进行深入评估,包括对胰岛素分泌的影响。结果:我们鉴定了4种microrna在基线时差异表达(miR-34a-5p, miR-122-5p, miR-885-3和miR-885-5p), 12种microrna在葡萄糖摄入反应中差异表达。锁定核酸反转录定量PCR验证了其中8个microrna的结果,并选择miR-34a-5p、miR-122-5p和miR-223-3p进行深入评估。在不确定的糖耐量和CFRD中,MiR-34a-5p和miR-122-5p在基线时升高,并与肝损伤标志物升高相关。在OGTT期间,MiR-223-3p存在差异表达,其表达模式取决于葡萄糖耐量状态。过表达miR-122-5p或miR-223-3p后,葡萄糖刺激的胰岛素分泌增加,过表达miR-34a-5p后,胰岛素分泌细胞活力降低。结论/解释mir -34a-5p和miR-122-5p显示出作为CFRD发展和肝损伤的生物标志物的潜力。MiR-122-5p和miR-223-3p可以通过增加β细胞的分泌能力来减缓CFRD的发展,而miR-34a-5p可能通过降低细胞活力来促进CFRD的发展。我们提出循环microrna可以作为CF并发症的生物标志物。我们进一步主张,在健康和疾病中,循环microrna可以在代谢器官和内分泌胰腺之间复杂的串扰中发挥作用。

We further advocate that circulating microRNAs can play a part in the intricate crosstalk between metabolic organs and the endocrine pancreas in health and disease.","PeriodicalId":11164,"journal":{"name":"Diabetologia","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145907802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims/hypothesis: Diabetes heterogeneity has been modelled as a continuum in European populations, but its phenotypes and long-term comorbidity risks remain unclear in Chinese individuals. This study aimed to identify distinct phenotypes and evaluate their links to future cardiometabolic risks in a large Chinese cohort.

Methods: The discriminative dimensionality reduction with trees (DDRTree) algorithm was used to develop a tree structure based on nine clinical variables. Cox proportional hazard models or logistic regression models were used to analyse probabilities of diabetes-related outcomes.

Results: This study included 19,612 individuals with newly diagnosed diabetes (36.8% male, mean age 59.01 years [SD 8.63]) from the China Cardiometabolic Disease and Cancer Cohort (4C) study. All nine clinical variables used for establishing DDRTree models were gradient distributed across the tree. By overlaying risks of diabetes-related outcomes, we show how these risks differ by participant phenotype. Participants characterised by hyperglycaemia, obesity and dyslipidaemia showed elevated risks of insulin initiation, hypoglycaemia and chronic kidney diseases, while those with hypertension and high creatinine, total cholesterol and alanine aminotransferase levels were associated with a higher risk of CVD. Notably, social determinants and lifestyle factors further contributed to the observed heterogeneity.

Conclusions/interpretation: These findings characterise the heterogeneity of diabetes phenotypes and complication risks in the Chinese population, suggesting potential implications for personalised diabetes care. Given the observed phenotypic differences, management strategies should consider population-specific characteristics.

目的/假设:糖尿病异质性在欧洲人群中被建模为连续体,但其在中国个体中的表型和长期合并症风险仍不清楚。本研究旨在在一个大型中国队列中确定不同的表型并评估它们与未来心脏代谢风险的联系。方法:采用判别降维树(DDRTree)算法建立基于9个临床变量的树状结构。采用Cox比例风险模型或logistic回归模型分析糖尿病相关结局的概率。结果:本研究纳入了来自中国心血管代谢疾病和癌症队列(4C)研究的19612例新诊断糖尿病患者(36.8%为男性,平均年龄59.01岁[SD 8.63])。用于建立DDRTree模型的9个临床变量均呈梯度分布。通过叠加糖尿病相关结果的风险,我们展示了这些风险如何因参与者表型而不同。以高血糖、肥胖和血脂异常为特征的参与者表现出胰岛素启动、低血糖和慢性肾脏疾病的高风险,而高血压、高肌酐、总胆固醇和丙氨酸转氨酶水平的参与者则与心血管疾病的高风险相关。值得注意的是,社会决定因素和生活方式因素进一步导致了观察到的异质性。结论/解释:这些发现表征了中国人群中糖尿病表型和并发症风险的异质性,提示了个性化糖尿病护理的潜在意义。鉴于观察到的表型差异,管理策略应考虑群体特异性特征。

HLA-focused type 1 diabetes genetic risk prediction in populations of diverse ancestry. 不同祖先人群中以hla为中心的1型糖尿病遗传风险预测
IF 10.2 1区 医学 Q1 ENDOCRINOLOGY & METABOLISM Pub Date : 2026-01-01 Epub Date: 2025-10-02 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-025-06563-8

Aims/hypothesis: Type 1 diabetes is characterised by the destruction of pancreatic beta cells. Genetic factors account for approximately 50% of the total risk, with variants in the HLA region contributing to half of this genetic risk. Research has historically focused on populations of European ancestry. We developed HLA-focused type 1 diabetes genetic risk scores (T1D GRSHLA) using SNPs or HLA alleles from four ancestry groups (admixed African [AFR; T1D GRSHLA-AFR], admixed American [AMR; T1D GRSHLA-AMR], European [EUR; T1D GRSHLA-EUR] and Finnish [FIN; T1D GRSHLA-FIN]). We also developed an across-ancestry GRS (ALL; T1D GRSHLA-ALL). We assessed the performance of the GRS in each population to determine the transferability of constructed scores.

Methods: A total of 41,689 samples and 13,695 SNPs in the HLA region were genotyped, with HLA alleles imputed using the HLA-TAPAS multi-ethnic reference panel. Conditionally independent SNPs and HLA alleles associated with type 1 diabetes were identified in each population group to construct T1D GRSHLA models. Generated T1D GRSHLA models were used to predict HLA-focused type 1 diabetes genetic risk across four ancestry groups. The performance of each T1D GRSHLA model was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) AUCs, and compared statistically.

Results: Each T1D GRSHLA model included a different number of conditionally independent HLA-region SNPs (AFR, n=5; AMR, n=3; EUR, n=38; FIN, n=6; ALL, n=36) and HLA alleles (AFR, n=6; AMR, n=5; EUR, n=40; FIN, n=8; ALL, n=41). The ROC AUC values for the T1D GRSHLA from SNPs or HLA alleles were similar, and ranged from 0.73 (T1D GRSHLA-allele-AMR applied to FIN) to 0.88 (T1D GRSHLA-allele-EUR applied to EUR). The ROC AUC using the combined set of conditionally independent SNPs (T1D GRSHLA-SNP-ALL) or HLA alleles (T1D GRSHLA-allele-ALL) performed uniformly well across all ancestry groups, with values ranging from 0.82 to 0.88 for SNPs and 0.80 to 0.87 for HLA alleles.

Conclusions/interpretation: T1D GRSHLA models derived from SNPs performed equivalently to those derived from HLA alleles across ancestries. In addition, T1D GRSHLA-SNP-ALL and GRSHLA-allele-ALL models had consistently high ROC AUC values when applied across ancestry groups. Larger studies in more diverse populations are needed to better assess the transferability of T1D GRSHLA across ancestries.

目的/假设:1型糖尿病的特征是胰腺细胞的破坏。遗传因素约占总风险的50%,HLA区域的变异占这种遗传风险的一半。历史上的研究主要集中在欧洲血统的人群上。我们使用来自四个祖先群体(混合非洲人[AFR; T1D GRSHLA-AFR],混合美国人[AMR; T1D GRSHLA-AMR],欧洲人[EUR; T1D GRSHLA-EUR]和芬兰人[FIN; T1D GRSHLA-FIN])的snp或HLA等位基因开发了以HLA为重点的1型糖尿病遗传风险评分(T1D GRSHLA)。我们还开发了一个跨祖先GRS (ALL; T1D GRSHLA-ALL)。我们评估了GRS在每个人群中的表现,以确定构建分数的可转移性。方法:采用HLA- tapas多民族参考面板,对HLA区41689份样本和13695个snp进行基因分型,并进行HLA等位基因的估算。在每个人群组中鉴定与1型糖尿病相关的条件独立snp和HLA等位基因,构建T1D GRSHLA模型。生成的T1D GRSHLA模型用于预测四个祖先群体中以hla为中心的1型糖尿病遗传风险。采用受试者工作特征(ROC) auc评估各T1D GRSHLA模型的性能,并进行统计学比较。结果:每个T1D GRSHLA模型包含不同数量的条件独立HLA区域snp (AFR, n=5; AMR, n=3; EUR, n=38; FIN, n=6; ALL, n=36)和HLA等位基因(AFR, n=6; AMR, n=5; EUR, n=40; FIN, n=8; ALL, n=41)。来自snp或HLA等位基因的T1D GRSHLA的ROC AUC值相似,范围从0.73 (T1D GRSHLA-allele- amr适用于FIN)到0.88 (T1D GRSHLA-allele-EUR适用于EUR)。使用条件独立snp (T1D GRSHLA-SNP-ALL)或HLA等位基因(T1D grshla -等位基因-all)组合的ROC AUC在所有祖先群体中表现一致,snp的值为0.82至0.88,HLA等位基因的值为0.80至0.87。结论/解释:来自snp的T1D GRSHLA模型的表现与来自不同祖先的HLA等位基因的模型相当。此外,T1D GRSHLA-SNP-ALL和grshla -等位基因-all模型在跨祖先群体应用时具有一致的高ROC AUC值。需要在更多样化的人群中进行更大规模的研究,以更好地评估T1D GRSHLA在不同祖先之间的可转移性。

Aims/hypothesis: Upregulation of miR-146a-5p and miR-29-3p is observed in chronic non-healing wounds in diabetes. Their single or combined inhibition's molecular and cellular effects were assessed in human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells) and in vivo using a mouse model of type 1 diabetes.

Methods: As primary outcomes, we screened for proteome changes in HaCaT cells by LC-MS/MS after transfection with miR-146a-5p or miR-29a-3p inhibitors individually or in combination and following stimulation with TNF-α. Moreover, as a secondary outcome, we collected the data and cryopreserved and paraffin-embedded skin biopsies to estimate the tissue response to miRNA inhibition using immunofluorescence and histological analysis. Cryopreserved biopsies were also used for the LC-MS/MS proteome profiling to identify targets and cellular pathways involved in observed tissue changes.

Results: We identified a panel of extracellular matrix proteins, mainly laminins, whose levels changed after transfection with miR-146a-5p or miR-29a-3p inhibitors in HaCaT cells, counteracting TNF-α effects. There was a difference in wound closure rate in vivo between the dual inhibition of miR-146a-5p and miR-29a-3p and scramble controls on day 8 (p<0.01) and day 9 (p<0.05), although not at day 10. Histological analysis at day 10 shows a loose papillary layer in the scramble inhibition group, indicating incomplete wound closure compared with dual miRNA inhibition. Moreover, the dual action of the inhibitors decreased inflammation at day 3 and day 10 (both p<0.001) and reactive oxygen species formation (p<0.01) 3 days post wounding, while increasing the angiogenesis on day 3 (p<0.01) and day 10 (p<0.001). This was consistent with cytoskeletal rearrangements and collagen alterations observed in proteome profiling.

Conclusions/interpretation: These findings demonstrate that dual inhibition of miR-146a-5p and miR-29a-3p in vitro synergises in a bidirectional manner, resulting either in intermediate effects or in cancelling each other's activity for the levels of specific proteins of basal lamina that impair proliferation and cell motility, compared with the individual inhibitors. Topical supplementation of miR-146a-5p and miR-29a-3p inhibitors to diabetic mouse wounds resulted in a reduction in wound size on days 8 and 9, which correspond to the later stages of healing, but did not lead to complete healing by day 10. However, dual inhibition demonstrates favourable effects on high oxidative stress, elevated inflammation and poor angiogenesis. These effects are superior to single miRNA inhibition, suggesting that combined miRNA inhibition could be a promising therapeutic strategy for diabetic wound healing. Nevertheless, further studies in humans are warranted.

目的/假设:在糖尿病慢性不愈合伤口中观察到miR-146a-5p和miR-29-3p的上调。在人类角化细胞(HaCaT细胞)和1型糖尿病小鼠模型中评估了它们单独或联合抑制的分子和细胞效应。方法:作为主要结果,我们在单独或联合转染miR-146a-5p或miR-29a-3p抑制剂以及TNF-α刺激后,通过LC-MS/MS筛选HaCaT细胞的蛋白质组变化。此外,作为次要结果,我们收集数据、冷冻保存和石蜡包埋皮肤活检,利用免疫荧光和组织学分析来评估组织对miRNA抑制的反应。冷冻保存活检也用于LC-MS/MS蛋白质组分析,以确定观察到的组织变化涉及的靶点和细胞途径。结果:我们鉴定了一组细胞外基质蛋白,主要是层粘蛋白,在HaCaT细胞中转染miR-146a-5p或miR-29a-3p抑制剂后,其水平发生变化,抵消TNF-α的作用。在体内,miR-146a-5p和miR-29a-3p的双重抑制与scramble对照组在第8天的伤口愈合率存在差异(p)。这些发现表明,与单个抑制剂相比,miR-146a-5p和miR-29a-3p的双重抑制在体外以双向方式协同作用,导致中间效应或相互抵消损害增殖和细胞运动的基板特定蛋白水平的活性。在糖尿病小鼠伤口局部补充miR-146a-5p和miR-29a-3p抑制剂可在第8天和第9天减少伤口大小,这与愈合的后期阶段相对应,但不能在第10天完全愈合。然而,双重抑制对高氧化应激、炎症升高和血管生成不良有良好的影响。这些效果优于单一miRNA抑制,表明联合miRNA抑制可能是糖尿病伤口愈合的一种有前途的治疗策略。然而,进一步的人体研究是必要的。
