Abstract

LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults), a special subtype of type 1 diabetes, turns out to exhibit phenotypes mimicking the type 2 diabetes, which results in serious misdiagnosis issues. In order to better distinguish LADA from other diabetes subtypes, specific diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of LADA are required. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are recently shown to be promising biomarkers for disease diagnosis and subtyping. In this study, serum samples from LADA patients and type 2 diabetes patients were collected during the first diagnosis of diabetes and the miRNA transcriptomes of these patients and healthy individuals were profiled. Comparative analysis shows that the differentially expressed miRNAs between groups and their predicted target genes are enriched for several functions including immune regulation. Besides, a few miRNAs showing distinct expression pattern in LADA patients could discriminate LADA from type 2 diabetes, as validated by further qRT-PCR assay. In all, our study implies potential miRNA biomarkers which would be investigated in further clinical researches.

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.

Biomarkers for Diabetes

This feed focuses on the latest research on biomarkers used for monitoring disease progression in diabetes.

Autoimmune Diabetes & Tolerance

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.
