Project description:With an escalating global burden, T2DM is associated to long-term complications that have contributed to the burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The objective of this manuscript is to conduct an Exome-Wide Association Study (EWAS) on T2DM Emirati individuals to improve our understanding on diabetes-related complications for a more enhanced disease management and improve therapeutic targets.

Project description:Global transcript profiling to identify differentially expressed skeletal muscle genes in insulin resistance, a major risk factor for Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Compared gene expression profiles of skeletal muscle tissues from 18 insulin-sensitive versus 17 insulin-resistant equally obese, non-diabetic Pima Indians. Keywords: other
Project description:Our main purpose is to screen specific biomarkers for supporting diagnoses of type-2 diabetic nephropathy (T2DN), type-2 diabetic retinopathy (T2DR), and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) without these complications. The miRNA expression database was built to study T2D in humans with the performance of the GeneChip™ miRNA 4.0 array analysis. The notable highlight of the analysis results in RNA expression shows there are three main groups which include one control group and two diabetic groups. It is used to apply grouping to the miRNA-expression analysis.
Project description:Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a known complication of transplantation which affected the prognosis. Tacrolimus (Tac, or FK506) is a widely used immunosuppressant, has been reported as a risk factor for PTDM and further develops complications in heart and skeletal muscle , while the mechanism is still largely unknown. The gene expression of rat muscles of control group and Tac induced PTDM group were analyzed.
Project description:Diabetes mellitus (DM) after transplantation remains a crucial clinical problem in kidney transplantation. To obtain insights into molecular mechanisms underlying the development of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) and its early impact on glomerular structures, here we comparatively analyze the proteome of histologically normal appearing glomeruli from patients with PTDM from normoglycemic (NG) transplant recipients, and from recipients with pre-existing type 2 DM (PTDM)
Project description:Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the common chronic complications of diabetes. Circular RNA (circRNA) plays a vital role in the pathological process of diabetic retinopathy (DR), this study aims to explore the differences in circRNA expression profiles and functions between DR and non-DR patients.Serum from diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with DR (n=5) and without DR (n=5) were extracted for circRNA microarray analysis using Arraystar Human circRNA expression profile (v2.0). Another 5 DR and 5 non-DR patients were included for quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) validation. Enriched signaling pathways were analyzed by GO and KEGG analysis. circRNA–miRNA networks were constructed by bioinformatics analysis.
Project description:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), one of the most common pregnancy complications, affects approximately 6% of pregnancies. This study attempted to use the data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry (MS) to identify the potential protein biomarkers from the placental tissues from the GDM patients and the normal pregnant women.
Project description:Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disorder that disrupts the body from shifting glucose into the cells resulting in hyperglycaemia (1). Insulin dependence or DM that resembles type I diabetes in humans is commonly observed in dogs (2). Canine DM diagnosis is based on fasting hyperglycaemia and glucosuria with clinical presentation of polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and weight loss (2). Its treatment goal is blood glucose control, which can be accomplished through insulin therapy, dietary modification and control of concurrent disorders (3). The major complications of DM include diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy and atherosclerosis induced by chronic hyperglycaemia via several pathways (4). The proposed unifying mechanism that mediates the tissue-damaging effects of hyperglycaemia is superoxide overproduction (5). Effective monitoring is required for DM treatment to reduce the risk of progression and complication. Hence, the identification of novel biomarkers is being researched (6, 7). Proteomics has been recognised as an important tool for establishing a diagnosis of disease aetiology and monitoring therapy outcomes (8, 9). Proteomic patterns were applied to detect diabetes and complications, as well as to evaluate treatment effectiveness in humans (10-12). There is limited information on proteomic data in DM dogs (13-15). In a proteomic analysis of serum samples from DM dogs, most upregulated proteins are involved in oxidative state, defence and inflammation (13). Medicinal plants are utilised in DM dogs as an adjunct medicine in combination with standard treatment to prevent the development of long-term diabetes complications and improve overall well-being. Curcumin, the most phytochemically active curcuminoid extracted from Curcuma longa, has gained attention in human and laboratory animals. Curcumin is known to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties (16-18). In humans and experimental animals with DM, curcumin has an antioxidant potential of enhanced reduced glutathione (GSH) and reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (19, 20). The anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin in DM were reported via decreased interleukin-1β (IL‐1β), interleukin-6 (IL‐6), interleukin-8 (IL‐8) and tumour necrosis factor-α levels and also diminished monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and C-reactive protein levels (19-21). There has been no published evidence of the impact, safety and proteomic profiles of curcuminoids, particularly curcumin, in client-own DM dogs. Accordingly, the aims of the present study were (1) to evaluate the effects of curcuminoid supplementation on canine DM-associated oxidative stress and inflammation, (2) to determine the safety of curcuminoid supplementation in canine diabetes and (3) to determine whether curcuminoid has an impact on proteins implicated in DM-associated complications by a proteomic analysis.
