Association of obesity risk SNPs in PCSK1 with insulin sensitivity and proinsulin conversion.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Prohormone convertase 1 is involved in maturation of peptides. Rare mutations in gene PCSK1, encoding this enzyme, cause childhood obesity and abnormal glucose homeostasis with elevated proinsulin concentrations. Common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within this gene, rs6232 and rs6235, are associated with obesity. We studied whether these SNPs influence the prediabetic traits insulin resistance, beta-cell dysfunction, or glucose intolerance. METHODS:We genotyped 1498 German subjects for SNPs rs6232 and rs6235 within PCSK1. The subjects were metabolically characterized by oral glucose tolerance test with glucose, insulin, proinsulin, and C-peptide measurements. A subgroup of 512 subjects underwent a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. RESULTS:The minor allele frequencies were 25.8% for SNP rs6235 and 6.0% for rs6232. After adjustment for sex and age, we found no association of SNPs rs6235 and rs6232 with BMI or other weight-related traits (all p >or= 0.07). Both minor alleles, adjusted for sex, age, BMI and insulin sensitivity were associated with elevated AUCproinsulin and AUCproinsulin/AUCinsulin (rs6235: p(additive) model or= 0.08). The minor allele of SNP rs6232 was additionally associated with 15% higher OGTT-derived and 19% higher clamp-derived insulin sensitivity (pdom

Project description:INTRODUCTION: Recent meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies revealed new genetic loci associated with fasting glycemia. For several of these loci, the mechanism of action in glucose homeostasis is unclear. The objective of the study was to establish metabolic phenotypes for these genetic variants to deliver clues to their pathomechanism. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study 1782 non-diabetic volunteers at increased risk for type 2 diabetes underwent an oral glucose tolerance test. Insulin, C-peptide and proinsulin were measured and genotyping was performed for 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in or near the genes GCK (rs4607517), DGKB (rs2191349), GCKR (rs780094), ADCY5 (rs11708067), MADD (rs7944584), ADRA2A (rs10885122), FADS1 (rs174550), CRY2 (rs11605924), SLC2A2 (rs11920090), PROX1 (rs340874), GLIS3 (rs7034200) and C2CD4B (rs11071657). Parameters of insulin secretion (AUC Insulin(0-30)/AUC Glucose(0-30), AUC C-peptide(0-120)/AUC Glucose(0-120)), proinsulin-to-insulin conversion (fasting proinsulin, fasting proinsulin/insulin, AUC Proinsulin(0-120)/AUCInsulin(0-120)) and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, Matsuda-Index) were assessed. RESULTS: After adjustment for confounding variables, the effect alleles of the ADCY5 and MADD SNPs were associated with an impaired proinsulin-to-insulin conversion (p?=?0.002 and p?=?0.0001, respectively). GLIS3 was nominally associated with impaired proinsulin-to-insulin conversion and insulin secretion. The diabetogenic alleles of DGKB and PROX1 were nominally associated with reduced insulin secretion. Nominally significant effects on insulin sensitivity could be found for MADD and PROX1. DISCUSSION: By examining parameters of glucose-stimulated proinsulin-to-insulin conversion during an OGTT, we show that the SNP in ADCY5 is implicated in defective proinsulin-to-insulin conversion. In addition, we confirmed previous findings on the role of a genetic variant in MADD on proinsulin-to-insulin conversion. These effects may also be related to neighboring regions of the genome.

Project description:PurposeDiabetes mellitus is a kind of highly prevalent chronic disease in the world. The intervention measures on the risk factors of prediabetes contribute to control and reduce the occurrence of diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between proinsulin (PI), true insulin (TI), PI/TI, 25(OH) D3, waist circumference (WC), and risk of prediabetes.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 1662 subjects including 615 prediabetes and 1047 non-prediabetes were recruited. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to explore the association of PI, TI, PI/TI, 25(OH) D3, and waist circumference with prediabetes. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by logistic regression. Receiver-Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the risk of prediabetes.ResultsOur study showed that FPI, 2hPI, FTI, 2hTI, FPI/FTI, and WC could enhance the risk of prediabetes (OR 1.034; OR 1.007; OR 1.005; OR 1.002; OR 3.577, OR 1.053, respectively; all p< 0.001). Stratified analyses indicated that FPI/FTI associated with an increased risk of prediabetes in men (OR 2.080, p = 0.042). FTI have a weak association with prediabetes risk in men and women (OR 0.987, p = 0.001; OR 0.994, p = 0.004, respectively). 2hPI could decrease prediabetes in women (OR 0.995, p = 0.037). Interesting, the sensitivity (86.0%) and AUC (0.942, p< 0.001) of combination (FPI+FTI+2hPI+2hTI+25(OH) D3+WC) were higher than the diagnostic value of these alone diagnoses. The optimal cutoff point of FPI, FTI, 2hPI, 2hTI, 25(OH) D3, and WC for indicating prediabetes were 15.5 mU/l, 66.5 mU/l, 71.5 mU/l, 460.5 mU/l, 35.5 ng/ml, and 80.5 cm, respectively. What's more, the combination (FPI+FTI+2hPI+2hTI+25(OH) D3+WC) significantly improved the diagnostic value beyond the alone diagnoses of prediabetes in men and women (AUC 0.771; AUC 0.760, respectively).ConclusionThe FPI, 2hPI, FTI, 2hTI, FPI/FTI, and WC significantly associated with an increased risk of prediabetes. The combination of FPI, FTI, 2hPI, 2hTI, 25(OH) D3, and WC might be used as diagnostic indicators for prediabetes.
