[Correlation Research on Blood Glucose Fluctuation in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients and Vas- cular Endothelial Injury/Platelet Activation/PKCβ1 Expression].

Objective To observe the correlation between blood glucose fluctuation in type 2 dia- betes mellitus ( T2DM) patients and vascular endothelial injury/platelet activation/protein kinase Cβ1 (PKCpβ1). Methods Capillary blood was collected from finger tips of 38 T2DM patients at 7 time points, i.e., before 3 meals, 2 h after 3 meals, 21:00 pm before sleep. The mean amplitude of plasma glucose excursions (MAGE) was calculated. The peripheral blood platelet aggregation rate (PAG) induced by a- denosine diphosphate (ADP) and platelet membrane protein level of CD62p were determined by platelet fluorescent aggregometer and flow cytometry respectively. HbAlc was measured by ion-exchange high- performance liquid chromatography. Serum levels of E-selectin, von Willebrand factor ( vWF), and PKCβ1 were detected by ELISA. Meanwhile, liver and renal functions, blood lipids were also measured. Their blood pressure was measured and body mass index (BMI) calculated. By taking HbA1c as a moni- tored index for assessing long-term glucose control, MAGE as an indicator for assessing glucose fluctua- tion, the correlations between serum markers for vascular endothelial injury (levels of E-selectin and vWF)/platelet activation indices (PAG and CD62p expression) and PKCβ1 level/MAGE respectively were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis and multivariant Logistic regression. The correlations be- tween PKCβ1 level and MAGE/HbA1 c were also analyzed. Results In simple correlation analysis, there were no significant correlations between age/BMI/course of disease/medical history/serum levels of E-se- lectin/vWF/PKCβ1/PAG/CD62p expression and MAGE (P >0. 05). There were significant correlations be- tween vascular endothelial injury markers ( E-selectin and vWF)/platelet activation indicators ( PAG, CD62p expression) and MAGE (r =0. 468, 0. 609, 0. 451 , 0. 674; P <0. 01). There were significant corre- lations between PKCβ1 and glucose assessment indicators (MAGE and HbA1c)/vascular endothelial inju- ry markers ( E-selectin and vWF) , platelet activation indicators ( PAG and CD62p expression) (r = 0. 643, 0. 705, 0. 394, 0. 665, 0. 441 , 0. 577; P <0. 01). Conclusion PKCβ1 , the key regulatory gene of coronary artery disease with blood stasis syndrome, was closely related with the degree of vascular en- dothelial injury and aggregation level of platelet activation in T2DM patients with blood glucose fluctuation.
