Project description:To evaluate whether serum micoRNAs can be biomarkers for diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus, we analyzed the serum microRNA expression profiles in 6 patients with new-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus and 6 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. A difference was observed in 31 miRNAs between the patients and controls (fold change ≥ 2, P < 0.05)
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE21321: Blood microRNA profiles and upregulation of hsa-miR-144 in males with type 2 diabetes mellitus. GSE26167: MicroRNA 144 impairs insulin signaling by inhibiting the expression of insulin receptor substrate 1 in Type 2 Diabetes mellitus Refer to individual Series
Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus represents a major health problem with increasing prevalence worldwide. Limited efficacy of current therapies have prompted a search for novel therapeutic options. Here we show that treatment of pre-diabetic mice with mitochondrially targeted tamoxifen, a potential anti-cancer agent with senolytic activity, improves glucose tolerance and reduces body weight with most pronounced reduction of visceral adipose tissue due to reduced food intake, suppressed adipogenesis and elimination of senescent cells. Glucose-lowering effect of mitochondrially targeted tamoxifen is linked to improvement of type 2 diabetes mellitus-related hormones profile and is accompanied by reduced lipid accumulation in liver. Lower senescent cell burden in various tissues, as well as its inhibitory effect on pre-adipocyte differentiation, results in lower level of circulating inflammatory mediators that typically enhance metabolic dysfunction. Targeting senescence with mitochodrially targeted tamoxifen thus represents an approach to the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its related comorbidities, promising a complex impact on senescence-related pathologies in aging population of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with potential translation into the clinic.
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:The oligo microarrays were used to determine gene expression profiles displayed by peripheral blood mononuclear cells from type 1 diabetes mellitus patients
