NT5C2 methylation regulatory interplay between DNMT1 and insulin receptor in type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Epigenetics alternation of non-genetic variation and genome-wide association study proven allelic variants may associate with insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes (T2D) development. We analyzed promoter DNA methylation array to evaluate the associated with increased susceptibility to T2D (30 cases, 10 controls) and found 1,091 gene hypermethylated in promoter regions. We performed the association study of T2D and found 698 single nucleotide polymorphisms in exon and promoter sites by using 2,270 subjects (560 cases, 1,710 controls). A comparison of DNA hypermethylation and gene silencing of mouse T2D results in our T2D patients' results showed that the 5'-nucleotidase, cytosolic II (NT5C2) and fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8) genes were strongly associated with increased susceptibility to T2D.
