We examined monocyte prostaglandin synthase 2 (PGS2/COX2) expression in individuals at risk for or with type 1 diabetes including: (i) 58 established type 1 and 2 diabetic patients; (ii) 34 autoantibody positive (AA+) children and adults; (iii) 164 infants and young children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) susceptibility human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles; and (iv) 37 healthy control individuals, over a 5-yr period.
Established type 1 diabetic patients (1 month to 30+ yr post-disease onset) had significantly higher PGS2 expression than healthy controls; by contrast, insulin-treated type 2 diabetic patients had significantly lower PGS2 expression than healthy controls. Longitudinal studies of AA+ subjects at risk for type 1 diabetes indicated that 73% (11/15) of individuals who developed this disease during the study period expressed high levels of PGS2 prior to or after onset. We also found high level PGS2 expression in genetically at-risk infants and young children that correlated with having a first-degree relative with type 1 diabetes, but not with age, gender, or HLA genotype. In this population, high level PGS2 expression coincided with or preceded autoantibody detection in 30% (3/10) of subjects.
These findings suggest that high level monocyte PGS2 expression, although subject to fluctuation, is present in at-risk subjects at an early age and is maintained during progression to and after type 1 diabetes onset.
我们检测了1型糖尿病高危个体或1型糖尿病患者的单核细胞前列腺素合成酶2(PGS2/COX2)表达,这些个体包括:(i)58例确诊的1型和2型糖尿病患者;(ii)34例自身抗体阳性(AA+)的儿童和成人;(iii)164例具有胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(IDDM)易感人类白细胞抗原(HLA)等位基因的婴幼儿;以及(iv)37名健康对照个体,研究为期5年。
确诊的1型糖尿病患者(疾病发作后1个月至30多年)的PGS2表达显著高于健康对照;相比之下,接受胰岛素治疗的2型糖尿病患者的PGS2表达显著低于健康对照。对1型糖尿病高危AA+受试者的纵向研究表明,在研究期间患此病的个体中有73%(11/15)在发病前或发病后表达高水平的PGS2。我们还发现,在有1型糖尿病遗传风险的婴幼儿中,PGS2表达水平较高,这与有1型糖尿病的一级亲属有关,但与年龄、性别或HLA基因型无关。在这一人群中,30%(3/10)的受试者中PGS2高水平表达与自身抗体检测同时出现或先于自身抗体检测。
这些发现表明,高水平的单核细胞PGS2表达虽然会有波动,但在高危个体中在早期就已存在,并在发展为1型糖尿病及发病后持续存在。
