Using Glycated Albumin and Stimulated C-Peptide to Define Partial Remission in Type 1 Diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To propose a new definition of partial remission (PR) for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) of all-ages using insulin dose and glycated albumin (GA), and find the optimal cut-off values for stimulated C-peptide to diagnose PR in different age-groups.

Research design and methods

Patients with newly diagnosed T1D (n=301) were included. GA/insulin dose was used to diagnose PR, and insulin dose-adjusted glycated albumin (IDAGA) was proposed to facilitate clinical application. The optimal diagnostic levels of IDAGA and stimulated C-peptide were determined in different age-groups (≤ 12y, 12-18y and ≥ 18y). Furthermore, the diagnostic consistency between different PR definitions was studied.

Results

GA≤ 23%/insulin dose ≤ 0.5u/kg/day was used to define PR, and IDAGA (GA (%) + 40 * insulin dose(u/kg/day)) ≤ 40 was feasible in all age-groups. Whereas, the optimal diagnostic level showed difference for stimulated C-peptide (265.5, 449.3 and 241.1 pmol/L for the ≤ 12y, 12-18y and ≥ 18y age-group, respectively). About 40% of patients met the PR definition by stimulated C-peptide but not GA/insulin dose or IDAGA, who showed dyslipidemia and higher insulin resistance.

Conclusions

A new definition of the PR phase is proposed using GA/insulin dose, and the calculated IDAGA≤ 40 applies to all age-groups. The stimulated C-peptide to diagnose PR is the highest in the 12-18y age-group, which reflects the effect of puberty on metabolism. For patients with insulin resistance, it is not recommended to use stimulated C-peptide alone to diagnose PR.

Project description:ObjectiveType 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder in which autoreactive T cells destroy insulin-producing β-cells. Interventions that preserve β-cell function represent a fundamental therapeutic goal in T1D and biomarkers that predict and monitor β-cell function, and changes in islet autoantigenic signatures are needed. As proinsulin and neoantigens derived from proinsulin peptides (hybrid insulin peptides, HIPs) are important T1D autoantigens, we analysed peripheral blood CD4+ T-cell autoantigen-specific proliferative responses and their relationship to estimated β-cell function.MethodsWe recruited 72 people with and 42 without T1D, including 17 pre-diabetic islet antibody-positive and 9 antibody-negative first-degree relatives and 16 unrelated healthy controls with T1D-risk HLA types. We estimated C-peptide level at 3-month intervals for 2 years post-diagnosis and measured CD4+ T-cell proliferation to proinsulin epitopes and HIPs using an optimised bioassay.ResultsWe show that CD4+ T-cell proliferation to any islet peptide and to multiple epitopes were significantly more frequent in pre-diabetic islet antibody-positive siblings and participants with T1D ≤ 3 months of duration, than in participants with T1D > 3 months or healthy controls. Among participants with T1D and first-degree relatives, CD4+ T-cell proliferation occurred most frequently in response to proinsulin33-63 (full-length C-peptide). Proinsulin33-63-specific responses were associated with HLA-DR3-DQ2 and/or HLA-DR4/DQ8. In children with T1D, proinsulin33-63-specific T-cell proliferation positively associated with concurrent estimated C-peptide and predicted survival in honeymoon.ConclusionCD4+ T-cell proliferative responses to proinsulin-containing autoantigens are common before and immediately after diagnosis of T1D but decline thereafter. Proinsulin33-63-specific CD4+ T-cell response is a novel marker of estimated residual endogenous β-cell function and predicts a better 2-year disease outcome.
