2型糖尿病患者胰岛素受体胰岛素结合域基因突变的研究

Study on Mutations in Insulin Binding Domain of Insulin Receptor Gene in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

目的:研究胰岛素受体结合域基因突变与胰岛素受体(INSR)功能异常的关系。方法:采用聚合酶链反应-单链构象多态性(PCR-SSCP)分析法和核酸银染法,对70例2型糖尿病患者INSR结合域基因第2,3,6三个外显子(exon)及部分相邻内含子进行基因突变检测。结果:在对外显子6的检测中发现有9例突变,突变又可分为B,C两种不同的SSCP带型。其中B型7例,C型2例,C型突变经测序结果,与外显子6的3′端毗邻的内含子的第43位A→C突变。在外显子3中发现了2例突变,为同一带型。在外显子2中尚未发现突变带型。结论:INSR结合域基因的突变在2型糖尿病中出现的频率较低。C型突变对INSR结合域的影响及其在2型糖尿病发病中的作用尚待进一步研究。

Objective:To study the relationship between the mutations in insulin binding domain of insulin receptor (INSR) gene and the abnormality in the function of insulin receptor. Methods:Using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and silver-staining technique,the gene mutations of exon 2,3,6 and parts of the adjoining in-trons in insulin binding domain of INSR were detected in 70 patients with type 2 diabetes.Results:In examining exon 6,9 mutations that could be divided into 2 different SSCP types were found,among which 7 of them were type B and the other 2 were type C. The type C mutation was A→single-base mutant at position 43 in the 3'-intron linked to exon 6. Two same mutations were found in examining exon 3 and no mutation was found in examining exon 2. Conclusion:The frequency of mutations in insulin binding domain of INSR gene is relatively low in patients with type 2 diabetes, and more works is needed to study the effect of type C mutant to the insulin binding domain of INSR and its role in process of type 2 diabetes.
