The Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (rs1292037 and rs13137) in miR-21 Were Associated with T2DM in a Chinese Population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Insulin receptor (INSR), insulin receptor substrate (IRS) and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) play important roles in the insulin resistance pathway. The microRNA (miRNA or miR) involved in INSR, IRS or GLUT4 could be associated with the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Methods

The aim of this study was to investigate the association of T2DM with 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 7 miRNAs (miR-195, miR-126, miR-144, miR-155, miR-21, miR-93 and miR-222) involved in the insulin resistance pathway. A total of 1593 subjects with T2DM and 1656 nondiabetic subjects were genotyped. Then, the associations of these SNPs with the development of T2DM and individual metabolic traits were evaluated, such as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C).

Results

Our data showed that the C allele of rs1292037 in miR-21 could increase the risk of developing T2DM (P = 0.002, OR = 1.17; 95% CI: 1.06-1.29). In addition, the T allele of rs13137 in miR-21 could be a risk factor for T2DM (P = 0.003, OR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.05-1.28). According to inheritance mode analysis, compared with the T/T-T/C genotype, the C/C genotype of rs1292037 showed a risk effect in T2DM in the recessive mode (P = 0.001, OR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.13-1.63). For rs13137, compared with the A/A-A/T genotype, the T/T genotype also showed a risk effect in T2DM in the recessive mode (P = 0.001, OR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.13-1.62). Moreover, in the nondiabetic group, compared with the rs78312845 A/G (FPG = 5.177±0.488mmol/L; HbA1C = 5.147±0.293%) and A/A genotypes (FPG = 5.155±0.486mmol/L; HbA1C = 5.136±0.299%), the G/G genotype (FPG = 4.887±0.482mmol/L; HbA1C = 4.960±0.397%) was associated with lower FPG (P = 0.012 and 0.019) and HbA1C (P = 0.008 and 0.011).

Conclusion

Our results revealed that rs1292037 and rs13137 in miR-21 were associated with T2DM susceptibility in a Han Chinese population. Moreover, the rs78312845 in miR-195 contributed to the level of FPG and HbA1C in nondiabetic group in the Han Chinese population.

Project description:Premature ovarian failure (POF) is an ovarian defect characterized by the premature depletion of ovarian follicles in individuals <40 years old, and is a major cause of infertility in females. Genetic factors are considered to be responsible for the development of POF, however, the exact pathogenesis remains to be elucidated in the majority of cases. In the present study, the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9), bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15), inhibin βB (INHBB) and follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) genes were investigated, and their association with POF in a Chinese Hui population of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in western China was evaluated. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 63 patients diagnosed with POF (POF group) and 58 normal control individuals (control group), from which the genomic DNA was isolated. The GDF9, BMP15, INHBB and FSHR genes were amplified using polymerase chain reaction assays, and their SNPs were determined by sequencing. In the four SNPs identified across the GDF9 loci, D57Y (169G>T), rs1049127 (546G>A), rs254286 (447C>T) and rs254285 (969C>G), the frequencies of the 546G>A genotype and allele A were significantly higher in the POF group, compared with the normal control group (34.92, vs. 6.90%; P<0.05 and 19.05, vs. 3.23%; P<0.05, respectively), while no significant differences were observed in the occurrence of the c.447C>T and c.969C>G mutations between the two groups (60.32, vs. 50% and 50.79, vs. 55.17%, respectively). The c.169G>T mutation within the GDF9 gene was only detected in two patients with POF, and the mutation did not occur in the normal control group. A total of three SNPs were detected within the BMP15 gene, including rs3810682 (-9C>G), rs79377927 (788_789insTCT) and rs17003221 (852C>T), and no significant differences were observed in the frequencies of the -9C>G and 852C>T genotypes between the POF and control groups (7.94, vs. 6.90% and 4.76, vs. 3.45%, respectively). The 788_789insTCT genotype was detected in only two patients with POF. A novel mutation, c.1095C>A, was identified in exon 2 of the INHBB gene, however, no significant difference was found in the occurrence of the mutation between the two groups (30.16, vs. 22.41%; P>0.05). The rs6165 (919G>A) and rs6166 (2039G>A) SNPs were detected in exon 10 of the FSHR gene; however, no significant difference was observed in the genotype frequencies between the two groups (92.06, vs. 91.38% and 96.83, vs. 93.10%, respectively). These results demonstrated that GDF9 c.169G>T (D57Y), c.546G>A (rs1049127), and BMP15 rs79377927 (788_789insTCT) were associated with POF in the Chinese Hui population.
