Chromogranin-A is a member of the granine protein family. It is produced in neuroendocrine cells via secretory granules. Many cleavage proteins are formed from chromogranin-A, from which some have well known biological activity, while the function of others is not yet fully known. Serum chromogranin-A levels are used in neuroendocrine tumour diagnostics. Recent studies showed that one of its cleavage protein, WE-14 may also play a role in the development of type 1 diabetes. WE-14 may function as an autoantigen for T-cells involved in the destruction of β-cells. This mechanism was previously observed only in non-obese diabetic mice. Novel results show that WE-14 also serves as a target for autoreactive cells in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic patients as well, which reaction can be increased with transglutaminase. In this paper the authors summarize the recent knowledge about chromogranin-A and its potential role in the pathomechanism of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(5), 163–170.

: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial, progressive, autoimmune disease with a strong genetic feature that can affect multiple organs, including kidney, eyes, and nerves. Early detection of type 1 diabetes can help critically to avoid serious damages to these organs. MicroRNAs are small RNA molecules that act in post-transcriptional gene regulation by attaching to the complementary sequence in the 3'-untranslated region of their target genes. Alterations in the expression of microRNA coding genes are extensively reported in several diseases such as type 1 diabetes. Presenting non-invasive biomarkers for early detection of type 1 diabetes by quantifying microRNAs gene expression level can be an influential step in biotechnology and medicine. This review discusses the area of microRNAs dysregulation in type 1 diabetes and affected molecular mechanisms involved in pancreatic islet cells formation and dysregulation in the expression of inflammatory elements as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the frequency of chronic complications and identify thepredicting factors that may be used for their early detection. Material and Method: The research group included 144 T1DM children with disease duration > 5 years ordisease onset during puberty. Complication screening included: full ophthalmologicexamination, UAE level determination, diabetic neuropathy assessment. Results: Retinopathy prevalence was 12.5 %. Factors associated with retinopathy were:hyperglycemia, duration of diabetes and dyslipidemia. Microalbuminuria wasdetected in 23 patients (15.97%) and correlated with HbA1c or insulin therapyregimen. Diabetic neuropathy prevalence (45.8%) was studied in relation to UAE.Peripheral somatic neuropathy was significantly correlated with the diabeticnephropathy stage. Autonomic neuropathy was detected only in 13.8% patients, yetits prevalence increased with the increase in UAE. Conclusions: Chronic diabeticcomplications are relatively less frequent as compared to adults, yet their evolutionis distinct due to the age-specific characteristics.
