Differences in splicing factors may predict type 2 diabetes remission in the CORDIOPREV study.

ABSTRACT: Alternative splicing is a post-transcriptional process resulting in multiple protein isoforms from a single gene. Abnormal splicing may lead to metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). To identify the splicing factor expression that predicts T2DM remission in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients, we identified newly diagnosed T2DM at baseline (n = 190) from the CORDIOPREV study. Patients were classified as Responders (T2DM remission during 5 years without antidiabetic drugs) or non-Responders. Baseline dysregulation in 5 splicing factors (MBNL1, RBM5, hnRNP G/RBMX, CD44, NT5E) distinguished Responders from non-Responders. Adding these factors to clinical variables [AUC = 0.67], insulin resistance, and beta-cell indexes [AUC =
