<a>Glucokinase (GCK) regulates insulin secretion and hepatic glucose metabolism, its inactivating variants could cause diabetes. We aimed to evaluate the association of a low-frequency variant of GCK (rs13306393) with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), prediabetes or both (IGR) in Chinese population. An association study was firstly conducted in a random cluster sampling population (Samples 1, 537 T2DM, 768 prediabetes and 1912 controls), then another independent Samples 2 (3896 T2DM, 2301 prediabetes and 868 controls) was used to confirm the findings in Samples 1. A-allele of rs13306393 was associated with T2DM [OR 3.08 (95%CI 1.77-5.36), p=0.00007] in Samples 1. Rs13306393 was also associated with prediabetes [OR 1.67 (95%CI 1.05-2.65), p=0.03] in Samples 2. In pooled analysis of two samples, A-allele increased the risk of T2DM [OR1.57 (95%CI 1.15-2.15), p=0.005], prediabetes [OR 1.83 (95%CI 1.33-2.54), p=0.0003) or IGR [OR 1.68 (95% CI 1.26-2.25), p=0.0004], insulin resistance estimated by homeostasis model assessment (beta=0.043, p=0.001), HbA1c (beta=0.029, P=0.029) and urinary albumin excretion (beta=0.033, p=0.025) irrespective of age, gender and BMI. Thus, the Chinese specific low-frequency variant increased the risk of T2DM through reducing insulin sensitivity rather than islet beta cell function, which should be considered in clinical use of GCK activators in the future.</a>

Objective: Obesity-induced Insulin Resistance (IR) is one of the main causes of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and accompanies the progression of T2DM. Serum Ferritin has been shown to be associated with IR. Inflammation is also suggested to be involved in IR and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. However, there is lack of enough evidence concerning the interrelationship between serum Ferritin, inflammation, and IR in the Chinese population with T2DM. In this study, the relationships between serum Ferritin and inflammatory biomarkers with IR in Chinese population were investigated. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 207 Chinese participants, aged 40-60 years in Tianjin, China. Serum Ferritin, transferrin, and folate were measured by immuno-assay analyzer. The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. IR was evaluated by Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) of IR. Correlations were examined by regression analyses. Results: Serum Ferritin level was higher in non-diabetic obese and diabetic group than the non-diabetic lean group. The levels of TNF-α and CRP were significantly higher in the diabetic obese group than non-diabetic and diabetic lean subjects. Serum Ferritin, TNF-α, and CRP were all correlated with BMI. TNF-α correlated with IR and FPI. TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, and CRP were all correlated with FPG and HbA1c. Conclusion: In Chinese population, IR had a significant association with TNF-α but not with serum Ferritin. Serum Ferritin, TNF-α, and CRP were all correlated with BMI. Inflammation and glucose metabolism factors (FPG, HbA1c) showed a strong correlation with each other as well as with adiposity.
