Background

Malnutrition in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) and/or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been associated with adverse outcomes. However, there is little information on the incidence of HCC during the compensated phase of LC in relation to the nutritional status.

Aim

To evaluate the association between the incidence of HCC in compensated LC and their nutritional status.

Methods

Patients with compensated liver cirrhosis with no previous history of ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding attending the Gastroenterology outpatient service at Centro Medico Nacional Siglo XXI were included in a prospective cohort. Clinical and nutritional parameters were collected, including the Royal Free Hospital Subjective Global Assessment (RFH-SGA) as an indicator of protein-calorie malnutrition and the triceps skinfold thickness, which classified patients as having normal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), above average SAT, and below average SAT. Follow-up was censored at the time of HCC diagnosis or LC decompensation.

Results

About 31/187 (16.0 %) and 22/187 (11.8 %) patients were categorized as having above- or below-average SAT at baseline, respectively. 10/187 patients (5.3 %) developed HCC during the compensated phase of LC at a median of 22 months (IQR: 10.0–36.75). A higher risk of HCC was observed in subjects below average SAT (HR: 4.064, CI 95 %: 1.012–16.317, p = 0.048). After adjusting the Cox models for age and α-fetoprotein at baseline, the statistical significance of the association between SAT and HCC was not modified.

Conclusion

These results suggest that decreased SAT may precede the diagnosis of HCC in compensated LC.
背景肝硬化(LC)和/或肝细胞癌(HCC)患者营养不良与不良预后有关。方法 将既往无腹水、肝性脑病或静脉曲张出血病史、在二十一世纪国立医学中心消化内科门诊就诊的代偿期肝硬化患者纳入前瞻性队列。研究人员收集了临床和营养参数,包括作为蛋白质-热量营养不良指标的皇家自由医院主观全面评估(RFH-SGA)和三头肌皮褶厚度,后者将患者分为皮下脂肪组织(SAT)正常、SAT高于平均水平和SAT低于平均水平。结果约有 31/187 例(16.0%)和 22/187 例(11.8%)患者在基线时分别被归类为 SAT 高于或低于平均水平。10/187(5.3%)例患者在 LC 代偿期中位 22 个月(IQR:10.0-36.75)时发展为 HCC。低于平均 SAT 的受试者发生 HCC 的风险更高(HR:4.064,CI 95 %:1.012-16.317,P = 0.048)。在根据基线时的年龄和α-胎儿蛋白对 Cox 模型进行调整后,SAT 与 HCC 之间相关性的统计学意义没有改变。

Background

Cell cycle progression and leukemia development are tightly regulated processes in which even a small imbalance in the expression of cell cycle regulatory molecules and microRNAs (miRNAs) can lead to an increased risk of cancer/leukemia development. Here, we focus on the study of a ubiquitous, multifunctional, and oncogenic miRNA-hsa-miR-155–5p (miR-155, MIR155HG), which is overexpressed in malignancies including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Nonetheless, the precise mechanism of how miR-155 regulates the cell cycle in leukemic cells remains the subject of extensive research.

Methods

We edited the CLL cell line MEC-1 by CRISPR/Cas9 to introduce a short deletion within the MIR155HG gene. To describe changes at the transcriptome and miRNome level in miR-155-deficient cells, we performed mRNA-seq/miRNA-seq and validated changes by qRT-PCR. Flow cytometry was used to measure cell cycle kinetics. A WST-1 assay, hemocytometer, and Annexin V/PI staining assessed cell viability and proliferation.

Results

The limited but phenotypically robust miR-155 modification impaired cell proliferation, cell cycle, and cell ploidy. This was accompanied by overexpression of the negative cell cycle regulator p21/CDKN1A and Cyclin D1 (CCND1). We confirmed the overexpression of canonical miR-155 targets such as PU.1, FOS, SHIP-1, TP53INP1 and revealed new potential targets (FCRL5, ISG15, and MX1).

Conclusions

We demonstrate that miR-155 deficiency impairs cell proliferation, cell cycle, transcriptome, and miRNome via deregulation of the MIR155HG/TP53INP1/CDKN1A/CCND1 axis. Our CLL model is valuable for further studies to manipulate miRNA levels to revert highly aggressive leukemic cells to nearly benign or non-leukemic types.
背景细胞周期的进展和白血病的发生是一个受到严格调控的过程,在这个过程中,即使细胞周期调控分子和微RNA(miRNA)的表达出现微小的失衡,也会导致癌症/白血病发生风险的增加。在这里,我们重点研究了一种无处不在、多功能的致癌 miRNA-hsa-miR-155-5p(miR-155,MIR155HG),它在包括慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)在内的恶性肿瘤中过度表达。然而,miR-155 如何调节白血病细胞的细胞周期的确切机制仍是广泛研究的主题。方法我们通过 CRISPR/Cas9 编辑了 CLL 细胞系 MEC-1,在 MIR155HG 基因中引入了一个短缺失。为了描述 miR-155 缺陷细胞中转录组和 miRN 组水平的变化,我们进行了 mRNA-seq/miRNA-seq 分析,并通过 qRT-PCR 验证了这些变化。流式细胞仪用于测量细胞周期动力学。WST-1检测法、血细胞计数器和Annexin V/PI染色法评估了细胞活力和增殖情况。与此同时,细胞周期负调控因子 p21/CDKN1A 和细胞周期蛋白 D1(CCND1)也出现了过表达。我们证实了典型的 miR-155 靶点如 PU.1、FOS、SHIP-1、TP53INP1 的过表达,并揭示了新的潜在靶点(FCRL5、ISG15 和 MX1)。我们的 CLL 模型对于进一步研究操纵 miRNA 水平将高侵袭性白血病细胞逆转为近似良性或非白血病类型很有价值。

Background

Von Willebrand disease (VWD), is the most common inherited bleeding disorder worldwide, but its diagnosis is complicated, expensive, and poorly evaluated in several countries.

Objective

To report our long-term experience with the diagnosis of VWD based on a cost-effective strategy.

Methods

We studied 802 Mexican patients, men and women, children, and adults, with clinical suspicion of VWD. The following tests were performed: blood count, bleeding time, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen concentration, VWF antigen, ristocetin cofactor activity, collagen binding assay, ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation, FVIII activity, and VWF multimers analysis.

Results

VWD was diagnosed in 639 patients; 582 had type 1 VWD (91.1%). Type 2 VWD was found in 52 patients (8.1%). Type 2A was present in 25 cases (48.1%), while types 2B and 2 M accounted for 21 (40.4) and six (11.5%) cases, respectively. Type 3 VWD was present in five patients (0.8%). The mean age of patients with VWD was 25.3 years (range: 2–71) for males and 22.1 (range: 1–54) for females. The diagnosis was inconclusive in 40 cases (5.0%) and was discarded in 123 (15.3%). Blood group O was the most common among patients with VWD.

Conclusion

Using a low-cost diagnostic strategy, we confirmed that VWD is as common in Mexico as in other countries. Review of the patient's history is mandatory when VWD is suspected, although laboratory confirmation may be difficult and expensive. The consequences of a lack of accurate and timely diagnosis affect the promptness and quality of treatment.
背景:冯-威廉氏病(Von Willebrand disease,VWD)是全球最常见的遗传性出血性疾病,但在一些国家,其诊断复杂、昂贵且评估不足:方法:我们研究了 802 名墨西哥患者,其中包括男性、女性和儿童:我们对 802 名临床怀疑患有 VWD 的墨西哥男性、女性、儿童和成人患者进行了研究。进行了以下检查:血细胞计数、出血时间、凝血酶原时间、活化部分凝血活酶时间、纤维蛋白原浓度、VWF 抗原、利斯托西汀辅助因子活性、胶原蛋白结合试验、利斯托西汀诱导的血小板聚集、FVIII 活性和 VWF 多聚体分析:639名患者确诊为VWD,其中582人属于1型VWD(91.1%)。52 名患者(8.1%)发现了 2 型 VWD。2A型有25例(48.1%),2B型和2M型分别有21例(40.4%)和6例(11.5%)。3型VWD患者有5例(0.8%)。男性 VWD 患者的平均年龄为 25.3 岁(范围:2-71 岁),女性为 22.1 岁(范围:1-54 岁)。40例(5.0%)诊断结果不确定,123例(15.3%)诊断结果不确定。在 VWD 患者中,O 型血最为常见:我们采用低成本诊断策略证实,VWD 在墨西哥与其他国家一样常见。在怀疑有 VWD 的情况下,尽管实验室确诊可能比较困难且费用昂贵,但仍有必要对患者的病史进行审查。缺乏准确及时的诊断会影响治疗的及时性和质量。

Background

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk is higher among non-Hispanic black (NHB) and Hispanic individuals, for reasons that are unclear.

Aims

With this cross-sectional study, we tested the hypothesis that racial disparities in T2D prevalence can be partially traced to heterogeneity in etiology, as indicated by genetic subtypes that reflect distinct T2D phenotypes.

Methods

Using a diverse sample of 361 US adults with T2D (69.5% women; 34.1% NHB; 13.9% Hispanic), we derived genetic risk scores (GRS) representing five distinct T2D pathophysiological pathways from 94 loci: β-cell, proinsulin, obesity, lipodystrophy, and liver/lipid. Genetic predisposition for insulin resistance (IR) was also assessed using a 52-SNP IR risk score.

Results

The β-cell and proinsulin scores (as median [IQR]) were higher among NHB participants relative to NHW and Hispanics (β-cell GRS [NHB, 0.842(0.784–0.887) vs. NHW, 0.762(0.702–0.835) and Hispanic, 0.772(0.717–0.848)]); proinsulin GRS (NHB, 1.006[0.973–1.070] vs. NHW, 0.969[0.853–1.044] and Hispanic, 0.976[0.901–1.048]), whereas the liver/lipid and 52-SNP IR scores were higher in both NHB and Hispanic participants versus NHW (liver/lipid GRS [NHB, 1.09(0.78–1.18) and Hispanic, 0.895(0.736–1.227) vs. NHW, 0.794(0.666–1.157)]); 52-SNP IR GRS (NHB, 0.0095[0.009–0.010] and Hispanic, 0.0096 [0.0092–0.0101] vs. NHW, 0.0090[0.0084–0.0095]).

Conclusions

Impaired β-cell function may underlie T2D etiology more profoundly in NHB, whereas hepatic dysfunction, lipid metabolism abnormalities, and genetic IR contribute to T2D etiology to a greater degree in both NHB and Hispanics. Further validation of these findings may form the basis for a personalized medicine approach to prevention and treatment of T2D.
背景:2 型糖尿病(T2D)在非西班牙裔黑人(NHB)和西班牙裔个体中的风险较高,其原因尚不清楚。目的:通过这项横断面研究,我们检验了以下假设:T2D 患病率的种族差异可部分归因于病因的异质性,如反映不同 T2D 表型的遗传亚型所示:我们利用 361 名患有 T2D 的美国成年人(69.5% 为女性;34.1% 为非裔美国人;13.9% 为西班牙裔美国人)的不同样本,从 94 个基因位点得出了代表五种不同 T2D 病理生理途径的遗传风险评分(GRS):β 细胞、胰岛素原、肥胖、脂肪营养不良和肝脏/脂质。此外,还使用 52-SNP IR 风险评分对胰岛素抵抗(IR)的遗传易感性进行了评估:β细胞和胰岛素原评分(中位数[IQR])在 NHB 参与者中高于 NHW 和西班牙裔(β细胞 GRS [NHB,0.842(0.784-0.887) vs. NHW,0.762-0.887])。NHW,0.762(0.702-0.835) 和西班牙裔,0.772(0.717-0.848)]);前胰岛素 GRS(NHB,1.006[0.973-1.070] vs. NHW,0.969[0.853-1.044] 和西班牙裔,0.976[0.901-1.0.048]),而 NHB 和西班牙裔参与者的肝脏/血脂和 52-SNP IR 评分均高于 NHW(肝脏/血脂 GRS [NHB, 1.09(0.78-1.18) and Hispanic, 0.895(0.736-1.227) vs. NHW, 0.794(0.666-1.157)]); 52-SNP IR GRS (NHB, 0.0095[0.009-0.010] and Hispanic, 0.0096 [0.0092-0.0101] vs. NHW, 0.0090[0.0084-0.0095]).Conclusions:结论:β细胞功能受损可能是非黑即白人群T2D病因的更深层次原因,而非黑即白人群和西班牙裔人群的肝功能异常、脂代谢异常和遗传性IR对T2D病因的影响程度更大。对这些发现的进一步验证可为预防和治疗 T2D 的个性化医学方法奠定基础。

Background

Double- and single-strand DNA breaks (DSBs and SSBs, respectively) in spermatozoa, which emerge from intrinsic and extrinsic degenerative processes, are likely related to the underlying male pathology.

Aim

To determine whether the incidence of DSBs in the human ejaculate is a consistent predictor of whole sperm DNA fragmentation (W-SDF = SSBs + DSBs).

Methods

A correlation between the proportion of spermatozoa that showed whole W-SDF and those displaying only DSBs in DNA. Two patient cohorts were established: W-SDF ≤30% (low SDF; n = 153) and W-SDF ≥30% (high SDF; n = 222).

Results

An increasing level of W-SDF is associated with an increased incidence of DSBs in the ejaculate. When data from both the low and high W-SDF groups were combined, a linear relationship was observed, with DSBs increasing by 0.799 units for each unit increase in W-SDF. However, when the cohorts were analyzed separately, the relationships differed. In the low SDF group, DSBs increased linearly by 0.559 units for each unit increase in W-SDF. In the high SDF group, DSBs increased exponentially by 0.602 units per unit of W-SDF. Furthermore, the data dispersion between the two variables was significantly different between the cohorts, with the high SDF group showing 0.8 times greater variability than the low SDF group.

Conclusions

While the presence of DSBs in sperm is correlated with the W-SDF present in raw semen samples, the biological mechanisms responsible for DSBs are expressed in different proportions and/or at different levels in ejaculates with higher levels of DNA damage.
背景:精子中的双链和单链DNA断裂(DSBs和SSBs)分别来自内在和外在的退化过程,可能与潜在的男性病理学有关。目的:确定人类射精中DSBs的发生率是否是整个精子DNA碎片(W-SDF = SSBs + DSBs)的一致预测指标:显示全W-SDF的精子比例与DNA中仅显示DSB的精子比例之间存在相关性。建立了两个患者群:结果:W-SDF ≤30%(低 SDF;n = 153)和 W-SDF ≥30%(高 SDF;n = 222):结果:W-SDF水平的增加与射精中DSB发生率的增加有关。将低 W-SDF 组和高 W-SDF 组的数据合并后,观察到一种线性关系,W-SDF 每增加一个单位,DSB 就增加 0.799 个单位。然而,如果对这两组数据分别进行分析,其关系则有所不同。在低 SDF 组,W-SDF 每增加一个单位,DSB 线性增加 0.559 个单位。而在高 SDF 组中,W-SDF 每增加一个单位,DSB 就以 0.602 个单位的指数形式增加。此外,两个变量之间的数据离散度在不同组别之间存在显著差异,高 SDF 组的变异性是低 SDF 组的 0.8 倍:结论:虽然精子中DSB的存在与原始精液样本中的W-SDF相关,但在DNA损伤水平较高的射精中,造成DSB的生物机制的表达比例和/或水平不同。

Frailty has been conceptualized not only as a physical disease, but also as a multidomain entity that encompasses a multimorbid status, disability, cognitive impairment, psychosocial risk factors, and even geriatric syndromes. In addition to physical ailments and depending on the diagnostic model. Standardized neuropsychological tests can identify cognitive deficiencies along with mild cognitive impairment, a pre-dementia stage characterized by memory and/or other cognitive domain impairments with relatively preserved instrumental activities of daily living. Hence, the possibility of cognitive frailty (CF), a construct that refers to physical frailty in concurrence with non-dementia cognitive decline, is proposed. The estimated prevalence of CF ranges from 10.3 to 42.8%. It is likely that the pathway to overt cognitive impairment, which does not yet involve physical function, begins with the asymptomatic early accumulation of progressive brain damage. Thus, timely detection strategies that target the initial phases of CF are warranted. The pathophysiological components of CF include dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis stress response, imbalance in energy metabolism, impaired cardiovascular function, mitochondrial deterioration, and vascular age-related arterial stiffness. Changes that contribute to this disease can also occur at the cellular level, including overexpression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, activation of proinflammatory pathways, endothelial dysfunction, reduced nitric oxide production, and increased oxidative stress. Non-pharmacological interventions, that range from dietary and nutritional counseling to psychosocial therapy, are currently the main approaches. Both cognitive and physical training programs are considered to be the best researched and most useful multidomain interventions. Clinicians recognize CF as a valid concept that warrants prevention and treatment strategies supported by current research.
虚弱不仅被视为一种身体疾病,也被视为一个多领域的实体,包括多病状态、残疾、认知障碍、社会心理风险因素,甚至老年综合症。除了躯体疾病外,根据诊断模式的不同。标准化的神经心理学测试可以发现认知缺陷和轻度认知功能障碍,轻度认知功能障碍是痴呆症的前期阶段,其特点是记忆力和/或其他认知领域受损,但日常生活的工具性活动相对保持不变。因此,有人提出了认知功能虚弱(CF)的可能性,这一概念是指身体虚弱与非痴呆认知功能衰退同时存在。据估计,认知虚弱的发病率在 10.3%至 42.8%之间。通往明显认知功能障碍(尚未涉及身体功能)的道路很可能始于无症状的渐进性脑损伤的早期积累。因此,针对 CF 初期阶段的及时检测策略是有必要的。CF 的病理生理学成分包括下丘脑-垂体轴应激反应失调、能量代谢失衡、心血管功能受损、线粒体退化以及与血管老化相关的动脉僵化。导致这种疾病的变化也可能发生在细胞层面,包括肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统过度表达、促炎症途径激活、内皮功能障碍、一氧化氮生成减少和氧化应激增加。从饮食和营养咨询到社会心理治疗等非药物干预措施是目前的主要方法。认知和体能训练计划被认为是研究最充分、最有用的多领域干预措施。临床医生认为,CF 是一个有效的概念,需要有当前研究支持的预防和治疗策略。

Background

Success of assisted reproductive techniques depends on multiple factors including maternal endocrine status, hormonal balance, and paternal sperm quality. A comprehensive pre-treatment evaluation allows better prediction of outcomes and avoidance of unnecessary procedures and expenses.

Methods

To examine the impact of female hormonal profiles and sperm DNA damage on the success of assisted reproduction, medical data were extracted from the clinical records of infertile couples including couples’ age and levels of maternal anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin (PRL), as well as the DNA fragmentation index (DFI) in men. Any correlation between these parameters and clinical outcomes was investigated.

Results

DFI and FSH independently influenced the rate of high-quality embryos. A decrease in maternal age and PRL levels increased the rate of these embryos. On the other hand, an increase in maternal body mass index (BMI) or AMH levels was associated with a reduced chance of achieving high quality embryos. In addition, any reduction in PRL levels could be associated with a higher fertilization rate. FSH levels above the normal range contribute to a reduced rate of high-quality embryos. Overall, our findings demonstrate the complex interplay between different factors and their influence on fertilization success and emphasize the importance of optimizing these variables to achieve the best possible outcome.

Conclusion

Several factors can influence the outcome of infertility treatment. These factors include paternal DFI, maternal age, BMI, AMH, FSH, and PRL levels.
背景:辅助生殖技术的成功与否取决于多种因素,包括母体的内分泌状态、荷尔蒙平衡和父亲的精子质量。全面的治疗前评估可以更好地预测结果,避免不必要的程序和费用:为了研究女性荷尔蒙状况和精子 DNA 损伤对辅助生殖成功率的影响,我们从不孕夫妇的临床记录中提取了医疗数据,包括夫妇的年龄、母体抗穆勒氏管激素(AMH)、卵泡刺激素(FSH)、黄体生成素(LH)和催乳素(PRL)的水平,以及男性的 DNA 断裂指数(DFI)。研究还调查了这些参数与临床结果之间的相关性:结果:DFI 和 FSH 对优质胚胎率有独立影响。母体年龄和 PRL 水平的降低提高了优质胚胎率。另一方面,母体体重指数(BMI)或 AMH 水平的增加与获得优质胚胎的几率降低有关。此外,任何 PRL 水平的降低都可能与受精率的提高有关。FSH 水平超过正常范围会导致优质胚胎率降低。总之,我们的研究结果表明了不同因素之间复杂的相互作用及其对受精成功率的影响,并强调了优化这些变量以获得最佳结果的重要性:结论:有几个因素会影响不孕症治疗的结果。这些因素包括父亲的DFI、母亲的年龄、体重指数、AMH、FSH和PRL水平。

Problem

Endometriosis is associated with gastrointestinal (GI) and urogenital (UG) microbial dysbiosis in patients with endometriosis (P-EOSIS). Sexual partner exposure may contribute to microbial dysbiosis but has not been studied in P-EOSIS. We hypothesized that sexual partner number, hormonal and surgical therapy would affect GI/UG microbial dysbiosis in P-EOSIS.

Methods of Study

Urine, fecal and vaginal swabs from control (n = 15) and P-EOSIS (n = 33) were collected on the day of surgery (DOS) and ∼1–3 weeks post-surgical intervention (PSI).
Control and P-EOSIS were grouped based on hormonal therapy (HT) to determine the effect of HT on microbial profiles, Control (HT n = 8; no HT n = 7) and P-EOSIS (HT n = 18; no HT n = 15). Samples underwent DNA extraction and sequencing of the V4 region of 16S rRNA gene. Sequences were processed using QIIME2 and amplicon sequence variants (ASV) were analyzed for microbial differences. Pearson's and Spearman correlation analyses determined associations among microbial features and sexual partner exposure.

Results

P-EOSIS had microbial dysbiosis characterized by unique GI/UG bacteria and altered microbial richness and diversity. Hormonal and surgical intervention in P-EOSIS restored GI microbial diversity. Increased sexual partner exposure decreased GI/UG microbial diversity. P-EOSIS who had 10 or more sexual partners had greater microbial dysbiosis compared to 4–6 partners. Surgical intervention negatively correlated with sexual partner numbers and GI/UG microbial abundance.

Discussion

Increased sexual partner exposure may enhance microbial dysbiosis in P-EOSIS and diminish the effectiveness of HT and surgical interventions.
问题子宫内膜异位症患者(P-EOSIS)的胃肠道(GI)和泌尿生殖道(UG)微生物菌群失调与子宫内膜异位症有关。性伴侣接触可能会导致微生物菌群失调,但尚未对 P-EOSIS 进行研究。我们假设性伴侣数量、激素和手术治疗会影响 P-EOSIS 的消化道/子宫内膜微生物菌群失调。研究方法在手术当天(DOS)和手术后 1-3 周(PSI)收集对照组(n = 15)和 P-EOSIS 组(n = 33)的尿液、粪便和阴道拭子。对照组和P-EOSIS组根据激素疗法(HT)分组,以确定HT对微生物特征的影响,对照组(HT n = 8;无HT n = 7)和P-EOSIS组(HT n = 18;无HT n = 15)。样本进行了 DNA 提取和 16S rRNA 基因 V4 区域测序。使用 QIIME2 对序列进行处理,并分析扩增子序列变异(ASV)以确定微生物差异。Pearson和Spearman相关性分析确定了微生物特征与性伴侣暴露之间的关联。对P-EOSIS进行激素和手术干预可恢复消化道微生物多样性。性伴侣接触增加会降低消化道/胃肠道微生物多样性。与 4-6 个性伴侣相比,有 10 个或更多性伴侣的 P-EOSIS 微生物菌群失调程度更高。手术干预与性伴侣数量和 GI/UG 微生物丰富度呈负相关。讨论性伴侣暴露增加可能会加重 P-EOSIS 微生物菌群失调,降低 HT 和手术干预的效果。

Background. Aims/hypothesis

The role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathogenesis and progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been described, but data remain scarce and conflicting.

Objectives

To evaluate the potential biological involvement of miRNA expression in the immune response and beta cell function in T1D.

Methods

We screened 10 serum miRNAs from 142 subjects divided into three groups: healthy individuals (control group; n = 52) and patients at different stages of T1D progression, from the initial immunological manifestation, presenting islet cell autoantibodies (AbP group; n = 39), to partial and severe beta cell damage in T1D (recent T1D group; n = 51).

Results

Three miRNAs (miR-200c-3p, miR-301a-3p, and miR-382–5p) were highly expressed in the AbP and/or recent T1D groups compared to the control group. Furthermore, in the AbP group, miR-301a-3p and miR-382–5p were positively correlated with insulin autoantibody levels and miR-382–5p was negatively correlated with C-peptide levels. In the recent T1D group, miR-200c-3p expression was positively correlated with IA-2A levels. Enrichment analysis of differentially expressed miRNAs showed their involvement in immune response, inflammatory pathways, proliferation/survival/apoptosis mechanisms, bacterial and viral infection, and insulin resistance.

Conclusion

Our data indicated that miR-200c-3p, miR-301a-3p, and miR-382–5p might be involved in T1D pathogenesis. Proliferative, metabolic, and immune responses were main pathways associated with serum miRNA target genes.
背景情况:目的/假设:微RNA(miRNA)在1型糖尿病(T1D)发病机制和进展中的作用已被描述,但数据仍然稀少且相互矛盾:评估 miRNA 表达在 T1D 免疫反应和 beta 细胞功能中的潜在生物学参与:我们筛选了 142 名受试者的 10 个血清 miRNA,分为三组:健康人(对照组;n = 52)和处于 T1D 进展不同阶段的患者,从最初的免疫学表现、出现胰岛细胞自身抗体(AbP 组;n = 39)到 T1D 中部分和严重的 beta 细胞损伤(近期 T1D 组;n = 51):结果:与对照组相比,三种 miRNA(miR-200c-3p、miR-301a-3p 和 miR-382-5p)在 AbP 组和/或近期 T1D 组中高表达。此外,在 AbP 组中,miR-301a-3p 和 miR-382-5p 与胰岛素自身抗体水平呈正相关,而 miR-382-5p 与 C 肽水平呈负相关。在近期 T1D 组中,miR-200c-3p 的表达与 IA-2A 水平呈正相关。对差异表达的 miRNA 进行的富集分析表明,它们参与了免疫反应、炎症通路、增殖/存活/凋亡机制、细菌和病毒感染以及胰岛素抵抗:我们的数据表明,miR-200c-3p、miR-301a-3p 和 miR-382-5p 可能参与了 T1D 的发病机制。增殖、代谢和免疫反应是与血清 miRNA 靶基因相关的主要途径。
