Project description:We have read with great interest the accepted manuscript of the meta-analysis performed by Huang, et al. titled "A functional polymorphism rs10830963 in melatonin receptor 1B associated with the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus" published online in the 2019 December 6 issue of Bioscience Reports (https://doi.org/10.1042/BSR20190744). We do agree with the authors' final conclusion that such a meta-analysis should eventually confirm that the MTNR1B rs10830963 G allele is significantly associated with increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) development in pregnant populations with Asian and European ancestry. However we have surprisingly found that our genetic association study (PLoS One (2017), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0169781) was included in this meta-analysis, but with mistakenly calculated odds ratios (OR). Therefore we would suggest to use the correct OR values based on our original publication that were already indicating a high genetic effect size for the MTNR1B rs10830963 risk variant on GDM development.

Project description:The melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) polymorphism rs10830963 C>G has been reported to be associated with the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with inconsistent results. To clarify the effect of the polymorphism on the risk of GDM, a meta-analysis therefore was performed. Pooled OR with its corresponding 95%CI was used to estimate the strength of the association. Totally 14 eligible studies with a number of 5033 GDM patients and 5614 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Results indicated that the variant G allele was significantly associated with an increased GDM risk (CG vs. CC: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.11-1.40, P < 0.001; GG vs. CC: OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.45-2.19, P < 0.001; G vs. C: OR = 1.33, 95% CI = 1.21-1.47, P < 0.001). In the stratified analysis by ethnicity, similar results were found in Asians (CG vs. CC: OR = 1.15, 95%CI = 1.02-1.28, P = 0.020; GG vs. CC: OR = 1.52, 95% CI = 1.23-1.89, P < 0.001; G vs. C: OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.10-1.37, P < 0.001) and in Caucasians (CG vs. CC: OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 1.16-1.70, P < 0.001; GG vs. CC: OR = 2.21, 95% CI = 1.54-3.17, P < 0.001; G vs. C: OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.24-1.73, P < 0.001). FPRP and TSA analyses confirmed findings support that the rs10830963 G allele increases the risk of GDM, and further functional experimental studies are warranted to explore and clarify the potential mechanism.

Project description:Background and aimsIt has been indicated that Melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) gene rs10830963 C/G polymorphism was associated with the increased type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk. Nevertheless, due to the inconsistent results among the individual studies on this topic, no consensus has been reached now. Hence, the present meta-analysis was conducted to illuminate the potential association of human MTNR1B gene rs10830963 C/G polymorphism and T2DM.Methods and resultsThere were 13,752 participants from 7 studies in the present meta-analysis. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were assessed by using the fixed or random effects models. A significant association between MTNR1B gene rs10830963 C/G polymorphism and T2DM was found under recessive (OR: 1.148, 95% CI: 1.052-1.253, P = 0.002), homozygous (OR: 1.197, 95% CI: 1.023-1.401, P = 0.025), and additive (OR: 1.067, 95% CI: 1.017-1.120, P = 0.008) genetic models.ConclusionsMTNR1B gene rs10830963 C/G polymorphism was significantly related to T2DM in the Chinese population. The persons with G allele of the MTNRB1 gene rs10830963 C/G polymorphism might be the T2DM susceptible population.

Project description:Melatonin receptor 1B (MT2, encoded by the MTNR1B gene), a high-affinity receptor for melatonin, is associated with glucose homeostasis including glucose uptake and transport. The rs10830963 variant in the MTNR1B gene is linked to glucose metabolism disorders including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); however, the relationship between MT2-mediated melatonin signaling and a high birth weight of GDM infants from maternal glucose abnormality remains poorly understood. This article aims to investigate the relationship between rs10830963 variants and GDM development, as well as the effects of MT2 receptor on glucose uptake and transport in trophoblasts. TaqMan-MGB (minor groove binder) probe quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays were used for rs10930963 genotyping. MT2 expression in the placenta of GDM and normal pregnant women was detected by immunofluorescence, western blot, and qPCR. The relationship between MT2 and glucose transporters (GLUTs) or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) was established by western blot, and glucose consumption of trophoblasts was measured by a glucose assay kit. The results showed that the genotype and allele frequencies of rs10830963 were significantly different between GDM and normal pregnant women (P<0.05). The fasting, 1-h and 2-h plasma glucose levels of G-allele carriers were significantly higher than those of C-allele carriers (P<0.05). Besides, the protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of MT2 in the placenta of GDM was significantly higher than that of normal pregnant women (P<0.05). Melatonin could stimulate glucose uptake and GLUT4 and PPARγ protein expression in trophoblasts, which could be attenuated by MT2 receptor knockdown. In conclusion, the rs10830963 variant was associated with an increased risk of GDM. The MT2 receptor is essential for melatonin to raise glucose uptake and transport, which may be mediated by PPARγ.

Project description:Studies have investigated the relationship between genetic variants and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, the results remain inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of rs10830963 and rs1387153 variants in melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) and rs1801278 variant in insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) with GDM susceptibility. Electronic database of PubMed, Medline, Embase, and CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) were searched for relevant studies between 2005 and 2014. The odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) were employed to estimate the association. Total ten case-control studies, including 3428 GDM cases and 4637 healthy controls, met the inclusion criteria. Our results showed a significant association between the three genetic variants and GDM risk, rs10830963 with a P-value less than 0.0001, rs1387153 with a P-value of 0.0002, and rs1801278 with a P-value of 0.001. Furthermore, all the genetic models in these three polymorphisms were associated with increased risks of GDM as well (P< = 0.009). In conclusion, our study found that the genetic polymorphisms rs10830963 and rs1387153 in MTNR1B and rs1801278 in IRS1 were associated with an increased risk of developing GDM. However, further studies with gene-gene and gene-environmental interactions should be considered.

Project description:Background The MTHFD1 G1958A polymorphism is a common variation in the gene encoding methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1), an enzyme crucial for folate metabolism. This study investigated the association between the MTHFD1 G1958A polymorphism, which is involved in folate metabolism, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. Methods A case-control study was conducted and 304 pregnant women (152 with gestational diabetes as cases and 152 healthy pregnant as controls) participated in the study. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) techniques were used to determine the MTHFD1 1958G>A polymorphism genotypes. Results Analysis of genotype frequencies revealed a statistically significant difference (p-value < 0.05) between the GDM group and the control group, suggesting a potential association between this gene variant and the development of GDM. Interestingly, while allele frequencies alone did not show a significant association with GDM risk, analysis in a recessive model (both severe and mild forms) demonstrated a strong link between the homozygous AA genotype and increased susceptibility to GDM. Conclusion This study provides the first evidence linking the MTHFD1 G1958A polymorphism and GDM risk in an Indian setting. These findings warrant further investigation into the functional impact of the MTHFD1 G1958A polymorphism and its potential role in the pathogenesis of GDM.

Project description:BACKGROUNDS: Two SNPs in melatonin receptor 1B gene, rs10830963 and rs1387153 showed significant associations with fasting plasma glucose levels and the risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in previous studies. Since T2DM and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) share similar characteristics, we suspected that the two genetic polymorphisms in MTNR1B may be associated with GDM, and conducted association studies between the polymorphisms and the disease. Furthermore, we also examined genetic effects of the two polymorphisms with various diabetes-related phenotypes. METHODS: A total of 1,918 subjects (928 GDM patients and 990 controls) were used for the study. Two MTNR1B polymorphisms were genotyped using TaqMan assay. The allele distributions of SNPs were evaluated by x2 models calculating odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and corresponding P values. Multiple regressions were used for association analyses of GDM-related traits. Finally, conditional analyses were also performed. RESULTS: We found significant associations between the two genetic variants and GDM, rs10830963, with a corrected P value of 0.0001, and rs1387153, with the corrected P value of 0.0008. In addition, we also found that the two SNPs were associated with various phenotypes such as homeostasis model assessment of beta-cell function and fasting glucose levels. Further conditional analyses results suggested that rs10830963 might be more likely functional in case/control analysis, although not clear in GDM-related phenotype analyses. CONCLUSION: There have been studies that found associations between genetic variants of other genes and GDM, this is the first study that found significant associations between SNPs of MTNR1B and GDM. The genetic effects of two SNPs identified in this study would be helpful in understanding the insight of GDM and other diabetes-related disorders.

Project description:Disturbed circadian rhythms have been a risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Melatonin is the major chronobiotic hormone regulating both circadian rhythm and glucose homeostasis. The rs10830963 (G allele) of the melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) gene has the strongest genetic associations with T2DM according to several genome-wide association studies. The MTNR1B rs10830963 G allele is also associated with disturbed circadian phenotypes and altered melatonin secretion, both factors that can elevate the risk of diabetes. Furthermore, evolutionary studies implied the presence of selection pressure and ethnic diversity in MTNR1B, which was consistent with the "thrifty gene" hypothesis in T2DM. The rs10830963 G risk allele is associated with delayed melatonin secretion onset in dim-light and prolonged duration of peak melatonin. This delayed melatonin secretion may help human ancestors adapt to famine or food shortages during long nights and early mornings and avoid nocturnal hypoglycemia but confers susceptibility to T2DM due to adequate energy intake in modern society. We provide new insight into the role of MTNR1B variants in T2DM via disturbed circadian rhythms from the perspective of the "thrifty gene" hypothesis; these data indicate a novel target for the prevention and treatment of susceptible populations with the thrifty genotype.

Project description:BackgroundSeasonal variation in glucose metabolism might be driven by changes in daylight. Melatonin entrains circadian regulation and is directly associated with daylight. The relationship between melatonin receptor 1B gene variants with glycemic traits and type 2 diabetes is well established. We studied if daylight length was associated with glycemic traits and if it modified the relationship between melatonin receptor 1B gene rs10830963 variant and glycemic traits.MaterialsA population-based sample of 3422 18-78-year-old individuals without diabetes underwent an oral glucose tolerance test twice, an average 6.8 years (SD = 0.9) apart and were genotyped for rs10830963. Daylight data was obtained from the Finnish Meteorological Institute.ResultsCross-sectionally, more daylight was associated with lower fasting glucose, but worse insulin sensitivity and secretion at follow-up. Longitudinally, individuals studied on lighter days at follow-up than at baseline showed higher glucose values during the oral glucose tolerance test and lower Corrected Insulin Response at follow-up. GG genotype carriers in the rs10830963 became more insulin resistant during follow-up if daylight length was shorter at follow-up than at baseline.ConclusionsOur study shows that individual glycemic profiles may vary according to daylight, MTNR1B genotype and their interaction. Future studies may consider taking daylight length into account. Key messages In Western Finland, the amount daylight follows an extensive annual variation ranging from 4 h 44 min to 20 h 17 min, making it ideal to study the associations between daylight and glycemic traits. Moreover, this allows researchers to explore if the relationship between the melatonin receptor 1B gene rs10830963 variant and glycemic traits is modified by the amount of daylight both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. This study shows that individuals, who participated in the study on lighter days at the follow-up than at the baseline, displayed to a greater extent worse glycemic profiles across the follow-up. Novel findings from the current study show that in the longitudinal analyses, each addition of the minor G allele of the melatonin receptor 1B gene rs10830963 was associated with worsening of fasting glucose values and insulin secretion across the 6.8-year follow-up. Importantly, this study shows that in those with the rs10830963 GG genotype, insulin sensitivity deteriorated the most significantly across the 6.8-year follow-up if the daylight length on the oral glucose tolerance testing date at the follow-up was shorter than at the baseline. Taken together, the current findings suggest that the amount of daylight may affect glycemic traits, especially fasting glucose and insulin secretion even though the effect size is small. The association can very according to the rs10830963 risk variant. Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms behind these associations.
