Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA genes can influence the expression of miRNAs that modulate the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β pathway and play crucial roles in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) susceptibility. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of SNPs in miRNA genes targeting the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β pathway with T2DM.
This case-control study included 1,416 subjects with T2DM and 1,694 non-diabetics. Eleven SNPs in miRNA genes (rs895819 in miR-27a, rs11888095 in miR-128a, rs2292832 in miR-149, rs6502892 in miR-22, rs13283671 in miR-31, rs1076063 and rs1076064 in miR-378a, rs10061133 in miR-449b, rs3746444 in miR-499a and rs678956 and rs476364 in miR-326) involved in PI3K/AKT/GSK3β pathway were genotyped by TaqMan Genotyping Assay, and the associations of these SNPs with T2DM were analyzed using online SHesis and SNPstats.
The results showed that miR-378a rs1076064 G allele could be a protective factor against T2DM (p<0.001, OR=0.828; 95% CI:0.749-0.916), whereas the miR-31 rs13283671 C allele could increase the risk of developing T2DM (p=0.003, OR=1.193; 95% CI:1.060-1.342). In addition, the miR-378a rs1076063A-rs1076064G haplotype could be a protective against T2DM (p<0.001, OR=0.731; 95% CI:0.649-0.824). According to inheritance mode analysis, compared with the AA-AG genotype, the GG genotype of rs1076064 showed a protective effect in T2DM in the recessive mode (p<0.01, OR=0.71; 95% CI: 0.59-0.84). For rs13283671, compared with the TT genotype, the CT-CC genotype showed a risk effect in T2DM in the dominant inheritance model (p<0.01, OR=1.29; 95% CI: 1.12-1.49). Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) Portal database analysis showed that miR-31 rs13283671 CT and CC genotypes had lower AKT expression than TT genotypes.
In conclusion, rs13283671 in miR-31 and rs1076064 in miR-378a involved in the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β pathway were associated with T2DM susceptibility in a Chinese population.
微小RNA(miRNA)基因中的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)可影响miRNA的表达,这些miRNA可调节PI3K/AKT/GSK3β信号通路,并在2型糖尿病(T2DM)易感性中起关键作用。本研究旨在探讨靶向PI3K/AKT/GSK3β信号通路的miRNA基因中的SNP与T2DM的相关性。
本病例对照研究纳入了1416例T2DM患者和1694例非糖尿病患者。采用TaqMan基因分型技术对参与PI3K/AKT/GSK3β信号通路的11个miRNA基因中的SNP(miR-27a中的rs895819、miR-128a中的rs11888095、miR-149中的rs2292832、miR-22中的rs6502892、miR-31中的rs13283671、miR-378a中的rs1076063和rs1076064、miR-449b中的rs10061133、miR-;499a中的rs3746444以及miR-326中的rs678956和rs476364)进行基因分型,并使用在线SHesis和SNPstats分析这些SNP与T2DM的相关性。
结果显示,miR-378a rs1076064的G等位基因可能是T2DM的保护因素(p<0.001,OR=0.828;95%CI:0.749-0.916),而miR-31 rs13283671的C等位基因可能增加患T2DM的风险(p=0.003,OR=1.193;95%CI:1.060-1.342)。此外,miR-378a rs1076063A-rs1076064G单倍型可能对T2DM具有保护作用(p<0.001,OR=0.731;95%CI:0.649-0.824)。根据遗传模式分析,与AA-AG基因型相比,rs1076064的GG基因型在隐性模式下对T2DM具有保护作用(p<0.01,OR=0.71;95%CI:0.59-0.84)。对于rs13283671,与TT基因型相比,CT-CC基因型在显性遗传模型中对T2DM具有风险作用(p<0.01,OR=1.29;95%CI:1.12-1.49)。基因型-组织表达(GTEx)门户数据库分析显示,miR-31 rs13283671的CT和CC基因型的AKT表达低于TT基因型。
总之,参与PI3K/AKT/GSK3β信号通路的miR-31中的rs13283671和miR-378a中的rs1076064与中国人群的T2DM易感性相关。
