Abstract

Objective. The hallmarks of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are insulin resistance (IR) and insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins essential for the insulin signaling. IRS-1 gene has not only been shown to be associated with T2DM, but also has indicated that it may significantly correlate with diabetic complications, such as coronary heart disease and obesity. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes of the lipid panel data in T2DM patients with comorbid obesity and/or essential hypertension in connection with the IRS-1 (rs2943640) polymorphism.

Methods. The study involved 33 T2DM patients and 10 healthy individuals. The IRS-1 (rs2943640) polymorphism was genotyped using a TaqMan real-time polymerase chain reaction method. Blood serum lipid panel data were determined with commercially available kits using a Cobas 6000 analyzer.

Results. Analysis of the serum lipid panel data depending on the presence of the C/A alleles of IRS-1 (rs2943640) polymorphism in T2DM patients, regardless of the presence/absence of comorbidities, showed significantly lower level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and significantly higher level of non-HDL-C in the carriers of C allele vs. carriers of A allele. In T2DM patients with comorbid obesity and essential hypertension, proatherogenic lipid changes were found in both C and A alleles carriers. Analysis of the effect of IRS-1 (rs2943640) genotypes on serum lipid panel data in T2DM patients, regardless of the presence/absence of comorbidities, showed that the CC genotype carriers had more pronounced pro-atherogenic changes vs. carriers of СА and АА genotypes. In the comorbid course of T2DM (both in combination with obesity and obesity and essential hypertension), pro-atherogenic changes were found in the carriers of the CA genotype of IRS-1 (rs2943640) polymorphism.

Conclusions. The presence of the C allele of IRS-1 (rs2943640) polymorphism in both homo-zygous and heterozygous states indicates increased risk of pro-atherogenic changes in T2DM patients with comorbid obesity and/or essential hypertension.
