Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Identification of unique inflammatory markers may facilitate prediction of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We previously compared transcript profiles of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells from non-obese diabetic mice with those from non-obese non-diabetic mice and found that bone marrow-derived dendritic cells' expressions of inflammatory mediators, including chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (CXCL1), were three to five times higher in 4-week-old female non-obese diabetic mice than in non-obese non-diabetic mice. In humans, microarray analysis results have suggested this chemokine be a biomarker representing active anti-islet autoimmunity. We investigated whether serum CXCL1 levels, reflecting active autoimmune processes, might serve as biomarkers for T1DM.
METHODS: The study groups consisted of 26 subjects with acute-onset T1DM, 20 with slowly progressive T1DM, and 20 with type 2 diabetes mellitus as disease controls. All subjects were Japanese. CXCL1 in sera were quantified by solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
RESULTS: Serum CXCL1 levels were significantly higher in subjects with acute-onset [median 113.2 ng/mL (41.75-457.2)] or slowly progressive [median 100.8 ng/mL (32.87-225.0)] T1DM than in those with type 2 diabetes mellitus [median 71.58 ng/mL (32.45-152.6), p = 0.01 and 0.03, respectively, Mann-Whitney U-test]. Decreases in fasting C-peptide levels per year correlated significantly with CXCL1 levels (n = 11, r(2) = 0.524, p = 0.012) in a subpopulation of slowly progressive T1DM subjects displaying preserved beta-cell function.
CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first study to show elevated serum CXCL1 in T1DM subjects, regardless of diabetes subtype, as compared to control type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects. We propose serum CXCL1 elevation to be a good T1DM marker, possibly indicating a predisposition to autoimmune disease development. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
