Soluble LRIG2 is a potential biomarker for type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes can delay the onset of microvascular and macrovascular complications. Therefore, the identification of a novel biomarker for diagnosing diabetes is necessary. In the present study, the role of serum soluble leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin like domains 2 (sLRIG2) was investigated as a diagnostic biomarker of type 2 diabetes.

Methods

A total of 240 subjects with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (n=80), prediabetes (n=80), or normal glucose tolerance (NGT; n=80) were included in this study. The fasting serum sLRIG2 level was measured using a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Serum sLRIG2 levels were compared among the three groups, and the associations of serum sLRIG2 levels with clinical variables were investigated.

Results

Serum sLRIG2 levels were significantly higher in subjects with type 2 diabetes (16.7±8.0 ng/mL) than in subjects without diabetes (NGT group: 12.3±5.3 ng/mL, P<0.001; prediabetes group: 13.2±5.8 ng/mL, P=0.002). Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c: r=0.378, P<0.001) and blood glucose (fasting: r=0.421, P<0.001; 2-hour postprandial: r=0.433, P<0.001) correlated more strongly with sLRIG2 than any other clinical variables.

Conclusions

The serum sLRIG2 levels correlated with glucose parameters; thus, sLRIG2 might be a novel diagnostic biomarker for type 2 diabetes.

Project description:Epidemiological surveys have shown that the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and malignancies is rapidly increasing worldwide and has become a major disease that threatens human life. In this study, we quantitatively analyzed the proteome of tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues from six patients withT2DM combined with colorectal cancer (CRC) and eight non-diabetic CRC, focusing on the effect of T2DM on tumor tissues. We analyzed the functional enrichment of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) using clusterProfiler in R and the expression level of protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11) and other key proteins in the TIMER and GEPIA2 databases. The HPA database was used to validate PTPN11 protein expression. The correlation between PTPN11 expression and clinicopathological features was analyzed by UALCAN database. The impact of PTPN11 on clinical prognosis was evaluated utilizing Kaplan-Meier Plotter. The correlation between PTPN11 expression and tumor-infiltrated immune cells was investigated via TIMER and TISIDB databases. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to examined the pathway of PTPN11 enrichment in CRC using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Furthermore, small interfering (si) RNA was used to knock down PTPN11 in CRC cell line SW480. Western blot analysis was used to detect PTPN11 expression in tissue samples or cells and the effect of PTPN11 knockdown on key proteins related to PI3K/AKT and cell cycle pathway in SW480 cells. Cell proliferation and wound healing assays were used to detect the effects of cell proliferation and migration after knockdown of PTPN11 or treatment with high glucose. We found that metabolic pathways such as oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and insulin secretion were significantly enriched in tumor tissues from diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic patients. In addition, PTPN11, a marker gene associated with T2DM and CRC, were mined in diabetic tumor tissues. PTPN11 showed high expression in diabetic tumor tissues compared to normal tissues. High PTPN11 expression predicted poor prognosis in CRC. PTPN11 expression was strongly associated with immune infiltrating cells in CRC. GSEA analysis revealed that PTPN11 was enriched in cancer-related pathways. Western blotting analysis indicated that PTPN11 knockdown reduced the protein levels of p-PI3K, p-AKT, CDK1 and CYCLIN D, without altering PI3K and AKT protein levels. Cell proliferation and wound healing data showed that PTPN11 and high glucose could increase the proliferation and migration ability. These findings showed that PTPN11 may be a potential key biomarker for CRC in patients with diabetes, which will provide new potential targets for future intervention of T2DM complicated with CRC.
