    Abstract Context Glucose tolerance worsens after distal pancreatectomy (DP); however, the long-term incidence and factors affecting interindividual variation in this worsening are unclear. Objective To investigate the changes in diabetes-related traits before and after DP and to clarify the incidence of diabetes and its predictors. Methods Among 493 registered patients, 117 underwent DP. Among these, 56 patients without diabetes before surgery were included in the study. Glucose and endocrine function were prospectively assessed using a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test preoperatively, 1 month after DP, and every 6 months thereafter for up to 36 months. Pancreatic volumetry was performed using multidetector row computed tomography before and after surgery. Results Insulin secretion decreased and blood glucose levels worsened after DP. Residual pancreatic volume was significantly associated with the reserve capacity of insulin secretion but not with blood glucose levels or the development of diabetes. Among 56 patients, 33 developed diabetes mellitus. The cumulative incidence of diabetes at 36 months after DP was 74.1%. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that impaired glucose tolerance as a preoperative factor as well as a decreased insulinogenic index and impaired glucose tolerance at 1 month postoperatively were identified as risk factors for diabetes following DP. Conclusion Impaired glucose tolerance and reduced early-phase insulin response to glucose are involved in the development of new-onset diabetes after DP; the latter is an additional factor in the development of diabetes and becomes apparent when pancreatic beta cell mass is reduced after DP.

    Abstract Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) values obtained from CGM systems using the same sensor but with different internal algorithms (the first- and third-generation FreeStyle Libre (1st-gen-libre and 3rd-gen-libre, respectively)) were compared. We used 19,819 paired and simultaneously measured CGM values of 13 patients with diabetes. The average CGM value was significantly higher (P < 0.0001) and the time below range (CGM value < 70 mg/dL) was significantly lower (P < 0.0001) with the 3rd-gen-libre than with the 1st-gen-libre. There was a significant correlation (P < 0.0001) between the CGM values of the 3rd-gen-libre (y-axis, mg/dL) and 1st-gen-libre (x-axis, mg/dL) using the following formula: y = 0.9728x + 10.024. On assessing the association between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c (%), y-axis) and the average CGM values (x-axis, mg/dL) by applying the obtained equation to previously reported 1st-gen-libre data and converting it to 3rd-gen-libre data, we obtained the equation y = 0.02628x + 3.233, indicating that the glucose management indicator reported in the West may be underestimated compared with the laboratory-measured HbA1c in the Japanese population. Glucose values from the same sensor were found to be significantly different between readers with different algorithms, and the calculation of CGM-related indices may need to be individualized for each device.

    Abstract We previously reported that four hyperglycemia loci are located on three chromosomes in the Nagoya-Shibata-Yasuda (NSY) mouse model, commonly used to study type 2 diabetes. However, we did not search for hyperglycemia loci across all chromosomes. In this study, we performed quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping of longitudinal phenotypes from crosses between NSY (hyperglycemic) and C3H (normoglycemic) mice. We identified four new QTLs for hyperglycemia, namely Nidd5nsy, Nidd6nsy, Nidd1c3h, and Nidd2c3h, on Chromosome 1, 4, 10, and 13, respectively. These QTLs were associated with hyperglycemia in young mice and had attenuated effects in older mice. Nidd5nsy and Nidd6nsy were hyperglycemic with NSY alleles, and Nidd1c3h and Nidd2c3h were hyperglycemic with C3H alleles. We further bred Nidd5nsy congenic mice and demonstrated that Nidd5nsy has a strong effect on hyperglycemia when young, accompanied by insulin resistance and visceral fat accumulation. These results showed that the effects of individual QTLs strengthened or weakened with age, and that the sum of the effects of QTLs captured the age-related deterioration of glucose tolerance in individuals. Our results support the importance of longitudinal phenotypes in the genetic analysis of polygenic traits and have implications for the genetic basis and pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes in humans.

    Abstract Context The glucose tolerance of patients changes considerably from before to after pancreaticoduodenectomy wherein approximately half of the pancreas is resected. Objective The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for diabetes after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Methods This study is a part of an ongoing prospective study, the Kindai Prospective Study on Metabolism and Endocrinology after Pancreatectomy (KIP-MEP) study. Of the 457 patients enrolled to date, 96 patients without diabetes who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy were investigated in this study. Preoperatively, 1 month post-pancreaticoduodenectomy, and every 6 months thereafter, the glucose metabolism and endocrine function were evaluated using the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Various other metabolic, endocrine, and exocrine indices were also examined over a period of up to 36 months. Results Of the 96 patients analyzed in this study, 33 were newly diagnosed with diabetes. The cumulative diabetes incidence at 36 months following pancreaticoduodenectomy was 53.8%. The preoperative insulinogenic index and ΔC-peptide in the glucagon stimulation test were significantly lower in the progressors to diabetes than in the nonprogressors. Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the insulinogenic index was the only significant risk factor for new-onset diabetes. Conclusion The majority of patients developed new-onset diabetes after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and a low value of the insulinogenic index was suggested to be a risk factor for diabetes. Preoperative assessment for the prediction of the onset of diabetes serves as useful information for patients and is important for postoperative glycemic control and diabetes management in patients who require pancreaticoduodenectomy.

    AbstractThe targets for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived metrics were recently set; however, studies on CGM data over a long period with stable glycemic control are limited. We analyzed 194,279 CGM values obtained from 19 adult Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes. CGM data obtained during stable glycemic control over four months were analyzed. CGM-related metrics of different durations “within 120, 90, 60, 30, and 7 days” were calculated from baseline. Time in range (TIR; glucose 70–180 mg/dL), time above range (TAR; glucose ≥ 181 mg/dL), and average glucose levels, but not time below range (TBR; glucose ≤ 69 mg/dL), strongly correlated with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values (P < 0.0001). TBR correlated with glucose coefficient of variation (CV) (P < 0.01). Fasting serum C-peptide levels negatively correlated with glucose CV (P < 0.01). HbA1c of approximately 7% corresponded to TIR of 74% and TAR of 20%. The shorter the CGM period, the weaker was the relationship between HbA1c and CGM-related metrics. TIR, TAR, and average glucose levels accurately reflected HbA1c values in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes with stable glycemic control. Glucose CV and TBR complemented the limitation of HbA1c to detect glucose variability and hypoglycemia. Stable glycemic control with minimal hypoglycemia depended on residual β-cell function.

    Abstract Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor, and some histological variants (oncocytic, myxoid, and sarcomatoid ACCs) have been reported in addition to the conventional ACC. Among these subtypes, oncocytic ACC is histologically characterized by the presence of abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm in the carcinoma cells owing to the accumulation of mitochondria, which generally yields high 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake on positron emission tomography (PET). Herein, we report the case of a 21-year-old woman with oncocytic ACC with low FDG uptake on PET scan. Her circulating levels of androgens were high, and androgen-synthesis enzymes were detected in carcinoma cells. The patient also had hypocholesterolemia. However, glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) was not detected in the tumor, which was considered to account for the low FDG uptake by the tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of low FDG uptake by oncocytic ACC without GLUT1 expression. Additionally, since hypocholesterolemia was reported in 3 previous reports of androgen-producing tumors, a possible correlation between androgenicity in adrenal tumors and the development of hypocholesterolemia could be postulated; however, further investigations are needed for clarification. This case highlights important information regarding the diversity of ACC and its impact on hypocholesterolemia.

    Abstract Mixed corticomedullary tumors (MCMTs) are rare and comprise medullary and cortical cells in a single adrenal tumor. The mechanisms underlying their development have not been fully elucidated. Here, we report a case of MCMT in a 42-year-old woman. Based on the preoperative clinical findings, the patient was diagnosed as having a pheochromocytoma with subclinical Cushing syndrome. Postoperative pathological diagnosis revealed that the tumor demonstrated morphologically distinct medullary and cortical components, which produced catecholamines and cortisol, respectively. Hybrid tumor cells producing both catecholamines and cortisol were not detected. Adrenocorticotropin (ACTH)-positive tumor cells were identified to be present in the pheochromocytoma. This ectopic production of ACTH can contribute to an autonomous cortisol production in a paracrine manner. In addition, micronodules producing aldosterone were detected in the adrenal tissue adjacent to the tumor. The simultaneous development of these 2 lesions may not be correlated with each other; however, this case confirms the importance of a detailed histopathological examination of the adrenal lesions harboring complicated hormonal abnormalities by providing pivotal and indispensable information on their pathogenesis and the possible interaction of the hormones produced in the adrenal gland.

    Abstract Context The rate of glucose metabolism changes drastically after partial pancreatectomy. Objective This work aims to analyze changes in patients’ glucose metabolism and endocrine and exocrine function before and after partial pancreatectomy relative to different resection types (Kindai Prospective Study on Metabolism and Endocrinology after Pancreatectomy: KIP-MEP study). Methods A series of 278 consecutive patients with scheduled pancreatectomy were enrolled into our prospective study. Of them, 109 individuals without diabetes, who underwent partial pancreatectomy, were investigated. Data were compared between patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD, n = 73) and those with distal pancreatectomy (DP, n = 36). Results Blood glucose levels during the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (75gOGTT) significantly decreased after pancreatectomy in the PD group (area under the curve [AUC] –9.3%, P &lt; .01), and significantly increased in the DP population (AUC + 16.8%, P &lt; .01). Insulin secretion rate during the 75gOGTT and glucagon stimulation test significantly decreased after pancreatectomy both in the PD and DP groups (P &lt; .001). Both groups showed similar homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) values after pancreatectomy. Decrease in exocrine function quality after pancreatectomy was more marked in association with PD than DP (P &lt; .01). Multiple regression analysis indicated that resection type and preoperative HOMA-IR independently influenced glucose tolerance-related postoperative outcomes. Conclusions Blood glucose levels after the OGTT differed markedly between PD and DP populations. The observed differences between PD and DP suggest the importance of individualization in the management of metabolism and nutrition after partial pancreatectomy.

    Abstract Characterization of adrenocortical disorders is challenging because of varying origins, laterality, the presence or absence of hormone production, and unclarity about the benign or malignant nature of the lesion. Histopathological examination in conjunction with immunohistochemistry is generally considered mandatory in this characterization. We report a rare case of bilateral adrenocortical adenomas associated with unilateral adrenal endothelial cysts in a 65-year-old woman whose condition was not diagnosed before surgery. Detailed histological examination of the resected adrenal glands revealed hyperplasia in the zona glomerulosa. Despite hyperplasia, the patient had normal serum aldosterone levels and renin activity without clinical evidence of hypertension. The patient was treated with a sodium-glucose cotransporter protein 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. This may have stimulated the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in which both relatively large bilateral adrenocortical adenomas and unilateral adrenal endothelial cysts were detected. This case also highlights the complexity and difficulty of preoperative diagnosis. Furthermore, this case reports the first detailed histopathological examination of adrenal lesions with SGLT2 treatment and the possibility of SGLT2 inhibitor treatment resulting in histological hyperplasia in the zona glomerulosa; however, it is difficult to prove a causative relationship between SGLT2 inhibitors and hyperplasia of the zona glomerulosa based on the data of this case. It can be confirmed only under limited conditions; therefore, further studies on adrenal gland histology employing SGLT2 inhibition are warranted.

    AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Hyperglycemia is a risk factor for sarcopenia when comparing individuals with and without diabetes. However, no studies have investigated whether the findings could be extrapolated to patients with diabetes with relatively higher glycemic levels. Here, we aimed to clarify whether glycemic control was associated with sarcopenia in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Study participants consisted of patients with type 2 diabetes (n = 746, the average age was 69.9 years) and an older general population (n = 2,067, the average age was 68.2 years). Sarcopenia was defined as weak grip strength or slow usual gait speed and low skeletal mass index. RESULTS: Among patients with type 2 diabetes, 52 were diagnosed as having sarcopenia. The frequency of sarcopenia increased linearly with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, particularly in lean individuals (HbA1c <6.5%, 7.0%, ≥6.5% and <7.0%: 18.5%; HbA1c ≥7.0% and <8.0%: 20.3%; HbA1c ≥8.0%: 26.7%). The linear association was independent of major covariates, including anthropometric factors and duration of diabetes (HbA1c <6.5%: reference; ≥6.5% and <7.0%: odds ratio [OR] 4.38, P = 0.030; HbA1c ≥7.0% and <8.0%: 4.29, P = 0.024; HbA1c ≥8.0%: 7.82, P = 0.003). HbA1c level was specifically associated with low skeletal mass index (HbA1c ≥8.0%: OR 5.42, P < 0.001) rather than weak grip strength (OR 1.89, P = 0.058) or slow gait speed (OR 1.13, P = 0.672). No significant association was observed in the general population with a better glycemic profile. CONCLUSIONS: Poor glycemic control in patients with diabetes was associated with low muscle mass.

    AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Patients with a total pancreatectomy and type 1 diabetes are similar in regard to absolute insulin deficiency, but different in regard to glucagon, providing a unique opportunity to study the contribution of glucagon to glucose metabolism in an insulin-dependent state. The aim of the present study was to investigate the contribution of glucagon to glucose homeostasis in complete insulin deficiency in vivo. METHODS: A total of 38 individuals with a complete lack of endogenous insulin (fasting C-peptide <0.0066 nmol/L) and whose glycemic control was optimized with an insulin pump during hospitalization were retrospectively studied. The basal insulin requirement, time-to-time adjustment of the basal insulin infusion rate, prandial insulin requirement and fasting plasma glucagon were compared between patients with a total pancreatectomy (n = 10) and those with type 1 diabetes (n = 28) after achievement of optimal glycemic control. RESULTS: Total daily insulin (P = 0.03) and basal insulin (P = 0.000006), but not prandial insulin requirements, were significantly lower in total pancreatectomy patients than in type 1 diabetes patients. The basal percentage (basal insulin/total daily insulin) was also significantly lower in total pancreatectomy patients than in type 1 diabetes patients (15.8 ± 7.8 vs 32.9 ± 10.1%, P = 0.00003). An increase in the insulin infusion rate early in the morning was not necessary in most patients with a pancreatectomy. The fasting plasma glucagon concentration was significantly lower in total pancreatectomy patients than in type 1 diabetes patients (P = 0.00007), and was positively correlated with the basal insulin requirement (P = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS: The difference in insulin requirements between total pancreatectomy and type 1 diabetes patients suggests a contribution of glucagon to the basal insulin requirement and dawn phenomenon.

    Aims/Introduction: Differences in the efficacy and safety of antidiabetic drugs among different ethnic groups are well documented. Metformin is widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in Western countries, but high doses of metformin have been approved only recently for clinical use in Japan. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of dosage and dosing frequency on the efficacy and safety of high-dose metformin in Japanese patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 71 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes were prospectively studied for the effects of dosage and dosing frequency on the efficacy and safety of metformin during hospitalization. Dose effects were studied in 27 patients treated with 0, 500, 1,000, 1,500 and 2,250 mg/day of metformin. The effect of dosing frequency was compared in 56 patients with 1,500 mg/day of metformin administered either two or three times per day. Results: Significant dose-dependent improvement in daily profiles of blood glucose was observed with metformin dosages up to 1,500 mg/day, with a trend towards further improvement observed at 2,250 mg/day. The efficacy of 1,500 mg of metformin was comparable when the drug was administered either two or three times per day. The most frequently reported side-effects were gastrointestinal symptoms, which were not affected by the dosage or dosing frequency of metformin. Conclusions: These results show that the efficacy of high-dose metformin is dose-dependent in Japanese patients. The efficacy and safety of metformin were similar when the drug was administered either two or three times per day.

    Background: We report a rare case of a juxta-adrenal schwannoma that could not be discriminated from an adrenal tumor before surgical resection and was complicated by bilateral hyperaldosteronism. To the best of our knowledge, this is first case in which both a juxta-adrenal schwannoma and hyperaldosteronism co-existed. Case presentation: A 69-year-old male treated for hypertension was found to have a left supra-renal mass (5.8 x 5.2 cm) by abdominal computed tomography. His laboratory data showed that his plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) was within the normal range, but his plasma renin activity (PRA) was reduced, resulting in an increased aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR). Load tests of captopril or furosemide in the standing position demonstrated autonomous aldosterone secretion and renin suppression. Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) with ACTH stimulation indicated bilateral hypersecretion of aldosterone. A left supra-renal tumor was resected because of the possibility of malignancy and was found to be a benign schwannoma arising from the juxta-adrenal region together with an adrenal gland. The dissected left adrenal gland was morphologically hyperplastic in the zona glomerulosa, but was immunohistochemically negative for CYP11B2 (aldosterone synthase). Multiple CYP11B2positive adrenocortical micronodules were detected in the adrenal gland, indicating micronodular hyperplasia. Although bilateral aldosteronism was indicated by AVS before the operation, the PRA, PAC and ARR values were within their respective reference ranges after resection of the unilateral tumor, suggesting that the slight increase in hormone secretion from the remaining right-sided lesion could not be detected after resection. Conclusion: A clinical and morphologic diagnosis of juxta-adrenal schwannoma is difficult, particularly in a case of hyperaldosteronism, as shown in this case. These data suggest the complexity and difficulty diagnosing adrenal incidentaloma.

    Our previous observations clarified that Graves' disease (GD) is the most frequent autoimmune disease in patients with alopecia areata (AA), and 42.7% of patients with AA were positive for thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb). A class II HLA haplotype DRB1*15:01-DQB1*06:02 was suggested to contribute to autoimmunity against the thyroid gland in M. To further clarify the genetic factors contributing to organ specificity in autoimmune diseases, we studied the contribution of non-HLA genes to organ specificity in GD and AA. A high frequency of AA (13.4%) was observed in patients with GD, indicating strong phenotypic association between GD and AA. CTLA4 and TSHR were significantly associated with GD (Pc = 0.007 and Pc < 0.002, respectively), but not with AA, even in TRAb-positive patients. The difference in the association between GD and AA suggests that the CTLA4 and TSHR are not main factors contributing to determining common genetic basis among GD and AA.

    Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) is a co-stimulatory molecule that inhibits T cell proliferation. We aimed to clarify PD-1 expression in CD4(+) T cells and the association between PD-1 expression and the 7785C/T polymorphism of PDCD1, with a focus on the two subtypes of type 1 diabetes, type 1A diabetes (T1AD) and fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D), in the Japanese population. We examined 22 patients with T1AD, 15 with FT1D, 19 with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 29 healthy control (HC) subjects. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and real-time PCR were utilized to analyse PD-1 expression quantitatively. Genotyping of 7785C/T in PDCD1 was performed using the TaqMan method in a total of 63 subjects (21 with T1AD, 15 with FT1D and 27 HC). FACS revealed a significant reduction in PD-1 expression in CD4(+) T cells in patients with T1AD (mean: 42 vs. 60% in FT1D, P=00450; vs. 58% in T2D, P = 00098; vs. 60% in HC, P=00018). PD-1 mRNA expression in CD4(+) T cells was also significantly lower in patients with T1AD than in the HC subjects. Of the 63 subjects, PD-1 expression was significantly lower in individuals with the 7785C/C genotype than in those with the C/T and T/T genotypes (mean: 41 vs. 59%, P=00016). Our results indicate that lower PD-1 expression in CD4(+) T-cells might contribute to the development of T1AD through T cell activation.

    Context: Multiple autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmunity against the thyroid gland and pancreatic islets, are often observed in a single patient. Although alopecia areata (AA) is one of the most frequent organ-specific autoimmune diseases, the association of AA with other autoimmune diseases and the genetic basis of the association remain to be analyzed. Objective: The aim of this study was to clarify the similarities and differences in HLA and clinical characteristics of thyroid and islet autoimmunity in patients with AA. Participants: A total of 126 patients with AA were newly recruited. Anti-islet and antithyroid autoantibodies were tested, and genotypes of HLA genes were determined. Results: Among the autoimmune diseases associated with AA, autoimmune thyroid disease was most frequent (10.0%), followed by vitiligo (2.7%) and rheumatoid arthritis (0.9%) but not type 1 diabetes (0.0%). The prevalence of thyroid-related autoantibodies in patients with AA was significantly higher than that in controls (TSH receptor antibody [TRAb]: 42.7% vs 1.2%, P = 1.6 x 10(-46); thyroid peroxidase antibody: 29.1% vs 11.6%; P = 1.7 x 10(-6)), whereas the prevalence of islet-related autoantibodies was comparable between patients with AA and control subjects. The frequency of DRB1*15:01-DQB1*06:02, a protective haplotype for type 1 diabetes, was significantly higher in TRAb-positive (12.8%, P = .0028, corrected P value [P-c] = .02) but not TRAb-negative (7.1%, not significant) patients with AA than in control subjects (4.5%). The frequency of DRB1*04:05-DQB1*04: 01, a susceptible haplotype for type 1 diabetes, was significantly lower in patients with AA (TRAb-positive: 8.5%; TRAb-negative: 11.9%) than in those with type 1 diabetes (29.5%, P-c = .0003 and P-c = .0008, respectively). Conclusion: AA was associated with thyroid autoimmunity but not islet autoimmunity, which correlated with class II HLA haplotypes susceptible or resistant to each autoimmune disease.

    Background: A susceptibility locus, Nidd2n, for type 2 diabetes has been mapped to mouse chromosome 14 (Chr 14) and confirmed using the consomic strain (C3H-Chr 14(NSY)) of the Nagoya-Shibata-Yasuda (NSY) mouse, an animal model of spontaneous type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to localize and characterize Nidd2n. Results: We constructed two novel congenic strains homozygous for different segments of NSY-Chr 14 on the control C3H/HeNcrj (C3H) background: R1 (C3H.NSY-(D14Mit206-D14Mit5)) possesses the proximal and middle segment, and R2 (C3H.NSY-(D14Mit206-D14Mit186)) possesses the most proximal segment of NSY-Chr 14. Diabetes-related phenotypes were studied in comparison with those of consomic C3H-Chr 14(NSY) (R0) and parental NSY and C3H strains. Congenic R1 and R2 showed significantly higher post-challenge glucose than that in C3H mice. Fasting glucose, in contrast, was significantly lower in R1 and R2 than in C3H mice. Insulin sensitivity was significantly impaired in R1 and R2 compared to C3H mice. R2 showed significantly higher body weight and fat-pad weight than those in C3H and R1. Leptin level was significantly higher in R0, R1 and R2 than in C3H mice, with R2 showing the highest level, similar to that in NSY mice. Serum adiponectin level was significantly lower in R0, R1 and R2 than in C3H mice, while it was significantly higher in NSY than in C3H mice. Conclusions: These data indicate that Chr 14 harbors multiple genes for diabetes-related phenotypes. The original Nidd2n, which is located in the middle region of Chr 14, was divided into two segments; Nidd2.1n in proximal Chr 14 and Nidd2.2n in distal Chr 14. Nidd2.1n contributes to post-challenge hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and adiposity. Nidd2.2n contributes to fasting as well as post-challenge hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Adp1n, which contributes to decreased adiposity and increased insulin sensitivity, rather than a diabetogenic gene, was mapped in the middle segment.

    [抄録]目的: 円形脱毛症患者における甲状腺自己免疫および膵島自己免疫の臨床的・遺伝的実態を明らかにする. 方法: 円形脱毛症患者110例について臨床的特徴および自己免疫疾患の合併率を検討し, 血清学的に抗サイログロブリン（Tg）抗体, 抗甲状腺ペルオキシダーゼ（TPO）抗体, 甲状腺刺激ホルモン受容体抗体（TRAb)抗glutamic acid decarboxylase（GAD）抗体, 抗insulinoma-associated antigen2（IA-2抗体）, インスリン自己抗体（IAA）を測定した. またHLA-DRB1, -DQB1, -A, -B, -C 遺伝子型を決定した. 結果: 円形脱毛症患者は健常対照者に比し, 抗Tg抗体, 抗IA-2抗体, IAA, 抗GAD抗体陽性率は同等であったが, 抗TPO抗体（29.1％ vs. 11.6％, P＜0.001）, TRAb（42.7％ vs. 1.2％, P＜0.001）の陽性率は有意に高値を示した. 膵島関連自己抗体価の比較では抗GAD抗体, 抗IA-2抗体, IAAはいずれも健常対照者との間に差を認めず, 自己免疫性甲状腺疾患患者に比し有意に低値であった. 遺伝子解析において円形脱毛症患者は健常対照者に比し, A, 33: 03 が有意に低頻度であり（3.2％ vs. 9.7％, Pc＝0.036）, DRB1, 04: 05 -DQB1, 04:01 は低頻度の傾向, DRB1, 15: 01-DQB1, 06: 02 は高頻度の傾向を示した. 結語: 円形脱毛症には甲状腺自己免疫を高率に合併するが, 膵島自己免疫・１型糖尿病の合併は稀であること、遺伝子解析でも円形脱毛症では１型糖尿病の疾患感受性ハプロタイプが低頻度、疾患抵抗性ハプロタイプが高頻度であるという今回の結果から、円形脱毛症が自己免疫性甲状腺疾患とは共通性を有するのに対し、１型糖尿病とは臨床的にも遺伝的にも異質性を有することが示唆された.

    The quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping in segregating crosses of NSY (Nagoya-Shibata-Yasuda) mice, an animal model of type 2 diabetes, with nondiabetic strain C3H/He mice has identified diabetogenic QTLs on multiple chromosomes. The QTL on chromosome 11 (Chr11) (Nidd1n) showing the largest effect on hyperglycemia was confirmed by our previous studies with homozygous consomic mice, C3H-11(NSY), in which the NSY-derived whole Chr11 was introgressed onto control C3H background genes. C3H-11(NSY) mice also showed a streptozotocin (STZ) sensitivity. In the present study, we constructed heterozygous C3H-11(NSY) mice and the phenotypes were analyzed in detail in comparison with those of homozygous C3H-11(NSY) and C3H mice. Heterozygous C3H-11(NSY) mice had significantly higher blood glucose levels and STZ sensitivity than those in C3H mice. Hyperglycemia and STZ sensitivity in heterozygous C3H-11(NSY) mice, however, were not as severe as in homozygous C3H-11(NSY) mice. The body weight and fat pad weight in heterozygous C3H-11(NSY) mice were similar to those in C3H and homozygous C3H-11(NSY) mice. These data indicated that the introgression of Chr11 of the diabetes-susceptible NSY strain onto diabetes-resistant C3H caused marked changes in the glucose tolerance and STZ susceptibility even in a heterozygous state, and suggested that the mode of inheritance of a gene or genes on Chr11 for hyperglycemia and STZ sensitivity is additive.

    We studied the time course of serum insulin level in a patient who injected large amounts of regular insulin in an attempted suicide. A 58-year-old woman attempted suicide by subcutaneously injecting herself with 2400 U regular insulin. On arrival, the serum glucose level was 2.4 mmol/L (44 mg/dL) and the serum insulin level was 40,000 pmol/L (5700 mu IU/mL). The serum insulin level was high, with a maximum of 110,000 pmol/L (16,000 mu IU/mL) at 13 h after injection, followed by an initial rapid decrease and a subsequent slow decrease, with hyperinsulinemia lasting as long as 5 days after injection.

    In contrast to the large number of studies on autoimmunity against the thyroid gland in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, little is known about the anti-islet autoimmune status in patients with autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs). We therefore studied the anti-islet autoimmune status in patients with AITD and the clinical and genetic characteristics of AITD patients with anti-islet autoimmunity. The positivity and titer of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GAD Ab) were studied in 866 Japanese patients with AITD (546 with Graves disease and 320 with Hashimoto thyroiditis), 221 patients with thyroid disease of nonautoimmune origin, and 282 control subjects. The clinical characteristics and genotypes of HLA-DRB1, DQB1, and CTLA4 were compared between AITD patients with and without GAD Ab. The prevalence of GAD Ab was significantly higher in AITD patients than in control subjects (5.8% vs 2.1%, P = .01), particularly in Graves disease (7.1% vs 2.1%, P = .0019). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was significantly higher in AITD patients with GAD Ab than in those without (40.0% vs 10.1%, P < .0001), particularly in those with a high titer of GAD Ab (high vs low titer: 64% vs 16%, P = .001) and also in those positive for insulinoma-associated antigen 2 (IA-2) Ab (IA-2 positive vs negative: 75.0% vs 31.3%, P = .016). The AITD patients with GAD Ab were characterized by younger age at onset of diabetes, lower body mass index, higher hemoglobin AI, level, and higher frequency of insulin therapy than those without GAD Ab. The frequency of the DRB1*0405-DQB1*0401 haplotype was significantly higher in AITD patients with GAD Ab than in those without GAD Ab and control subjects. A single nucleotide polymorphism (rs3087243) of CTLA4 was significantly associated with AITD, but not with positivity of GAD Ab. These results indicate that patients with AITD, and in particular Graves disease, are prone to develop beta-cell autoimmunity and insulin-requiring diabetes, particularly those with a high titer of GAD Ab and/or positive for both GAD and 1A-2 Ab. Glutamic acid decarboxylase Ab positivity in AITD patients was associated with HLA, conferring susceptibility to type 1 diabetes mellitus. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    OBJECTIVE-Tissue-specific self-antigens are ectopically expressed within the thymus and play an important role in the induction of central tolerance. Insulin is expressed in both pancreatic islets and the thymus and is considered to be the primary antigen for type 1 diabetes. Here, we report the role of the insulin transactivator MafA in the expression of insulin in the thymus and susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-The expression profiles of transcriptional factors (Rix I, NeuroD, Mafa, and Aire) in pancreatic islets and the thymus were examined in nonobese diabetic (NOD) and control mice. Thymic Ins2 expression and serum autoantibodies were examined in Mafa knockout mice. Luciferase reporter assay was performed for newly identified polymorphisms of mouse Mafa and human MAFA. A case-control study was applied for human MAFA polymorphisms. RESULTS-Mafa, Ins2, and Aire expression was detected in the thymus. Mafa expression was lower in NOD thymus than in the control and was correlated with Ins2 expression. Targeted disruption of MafA reduced thymic Ins2 expression and induced autoantibodies against pancreatic islets. Functional polymorphisms of MafA were newly identified in NOD mice and humans, and polymorphisms of human MAFA were associated with susceptibility to type 1 diabetes but not to autoimmune thyroid disease. CONCLUSIONS-These data indicate that functional polymorphisms of MafA are associated with reduced expression of insulin in the thymus and susceptibility to type 1 diabetes in the NOD mouse as well as human type 1 diabetes.

    Diabetogenic loci for type 2 diabetes have been mapped to mouse chromosome (Chr) 11 and 14 in the Nagoya-Shibata-Yasuda (NSY) mouse, an animal model of type 2 diabetes. We aimed to obtain direct evidence of these genes on each chromosome and to clarify their function and interaction in conferring susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. We established three consomic strains homozygous for diabetogenic NSY-Chr11, NSY-Chr14 or both on the control C3H background (C3H-11(NSY), C3H-14(NSY) and C3H-11(NSY)14(NSY), respectively), and monitored diabetes-related phenotypes longitudinally. The glucokinase gene was sequenced as a positional candidate gene on Chr11. C3H-11(NSY) mice showed hyperglycaemia associated with impaired insulin secretion and age-dependent insulin resistance without obesity. C3H-14(NSY) mice exhibited hyperglycaemia mainly due to insulin resistance, with a slight increase in percentage body fat. C3H-11(NSY)14(NSY) double consomic mice showed marked hyperglycaemia and obesity, which was not observed in single consomic strains. Sequences of the glucokinase gene were allelically variant between NSY and C3H mice. These data provide direct evidence that Chr11 and Chr14 harbour major susceptibility genes for type 2 diabetes. These two chromosomes interact to cause more severe hyperglycaemia and obesity, which was not observed with the presence of either single chromosome, indicating different modes of gene-gene interaction depending on the phenotype. Marked changes in the phenotypes retained in the consomic strains will facilitate fine mapping and the identification of the responsible genes and their interaction with each other, other genes and environmental factors.

    Type 1 diabetes is a multifactorial disease caused by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. The genetic factors involved consist of multiple susceptibility genes, at least five of which, HLA, INS, CTLA4, PTPN22 and IL2RA/CD25, have been shown to be associated with type 1 diabetes in Caucasian (Western) populations, as has recently been confirmed by genome-wide association studies. It has been proposed, however, that the contribution of these genes to type 1 diabetes susceptibility may be different in Asian (Eastern) populations. HLA and INS genes are consistently associated with type 1 diabetes in both Caucasian and Asian populations, but apparent differences in disease-associated alleles and haplotypes are observed between Japanese and Caucasian subjects. The association of CTLA4 with type 1 diabetes is concentrated in a subset of patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in both Japanese and Caucasian populations, while the association of PTPN22 with type 1 diabetes in Japanese and most Asian populations is not as clear as in Caucasians. IL2RA/CD25 genes seem to be similarly distributed in type 1 diabetes patients in the two populations, whereas genetic heterogeneity may exist regarding SUMO4, with an association of the M55V variant with type 1 diabetes observed in Asians, but not in Caucasians. Genome-wide association studies (GWA) are largely outstanding for Asian populations but they are now underway in Japan. This review reports on the discovered similarities and differences in susceptibility genes for type 1 diabetes between East and West and discusses the most recent observations made by the involved investigators.

    Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-linked susceptibility to type 1 diabetes consists of multiple components. Previous studies with NOD mice congenic for the MHC from a sister strain, the CTS mouse, mapped Idd16, a second component of MHC-linked susceptibility to type 1 diabetes, in the region adjacent to, but distinct from Idd1 in the class II region. In this study, three lines of subcongenic strains were established from the original congenic strain. Phenotypic analysis of the strains indicated that MHC-linked susceptibility to type 1 diabetes consists of at least three components: Idd1, Idd16.2 adjacent to Idd1, and Idd16.1 telomeric to Idd16.2.

    Oxidative stress has been implicated in the destruction of S cells in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Thioredoxin has been shown to protect cells from oxidative stress and apoptosis. In this study, we screened for sequence variants of the human thioredoxin gene (TXN), and studied the association of the variants in persons with T1D in Japanese. The frequency of the A allele of the G/A SNP in the 3' flanking region was highest in T1D (8.4%), followed by type 2 diabetes (6.8%), and the lowest in the controls (5.9%), suggesting the contribution of TXN polymorphism to susceptibility to T1D.

    A recent dramatic increase in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus has made the proper management of the disease in this population more important. Here, we discuss the present status of diabetes management in the elderly in Japan. As a characteristic feature of elderly persons, body weight reduction is difficult, because of the profound adaptive reduction in resting energy expenditure under calorie restriction in the elderly. However, hyperglycemia increases the risk for diabetic complications, except proliferative retinopathy, similarly in elderly and non-elderly. Of note, there is marked clinical heterogeneity in this generation in the following aspects: duration, complication status (past aspect), insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity, familial support and physical exercise/activity (present aspect), as well as the expected lifespan (future aspect). This heterogeneity among the elderly should render diabetes treatment diverse, and in fact, one of the largest surveys in Japan demonstrated significant diversity in diabetes management in the elderly. In Japan, thus, the present management of diabetes in the elderly is considerably diverse, reflecting the clinical heterogeneity among elderly patients with diabetes. Further clinical evidence is awaited for the establishment of proper and safe management of diabetes in the elderly. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Objective: This study aimed to investigate the renoprotective effect on diabetic nephropathy of a novel class of Ca2+ channel blocker, cilnidipine, that inhibits both L-type and N-type Ca2+ channels; a conventional L-type Ca2+ Channel blocker was substituted with cilnidipine in type 2 diabetic patients with albuminuria. Methods: Urinary albumin index (UAI), serum creatinine, and blood pressure were measured in 38 outpatients with type 2 diabetes receiving amlodipine, an L-type Ca2+ channel blocker, in addition to an angiotensin 1 converting enzyme inhibitor and/or an angiotensin type 1 receptor blocker. Amlodipine was then substituted with cilnidipine, and the same parameters were measured after 3 months. Results: Although blood pressure was not significantly changed after substitution with cilnidipine, log-transformed UAI was significantly decreased (P=.004) with a mean reduction of 28% [95% confidence interval (CI)=11-42]. Serum creatinine was significantly (P=.04) increased (from 0.82 +/- 0.22 to 0.86 +/- 0.23 mg/dl). When the subjects were divided into two groups according to the change in serum creatinine, UAI change was significant only in those with an increase in serum creatinine, who exhibited a mean reduction of UAI of 39% (95% CI=16-56, P=.005), but not in those without an increase in serum creatinine, whose mean reduction of UAI was 18% (95% Cl=- 12 to 40, P=.2). Conclusions: In patients with diabetic nephropathy, blocking N-type Ca 2+ channels with a new class of Ca 2+ channel blocker resulted in a significant reduction in albuminuria, suggesting a renoprotective effect of N-type Ca 2+ channel blockade, even when combined with renin-angiotensin inhibition.

    Context: Despite distinct differences in the pathogenesis, epidemiological data have indicated familial clustering of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, suggesting a common genetic basis between these two types of diabetes. Few shared susceptibility genes, however, have been reported to date. Objective: Small ubiquitin-like modifier 4 (SUMO4) has been identified as a candidate gene for the IDDM5 locus and suggested to have possible involvement in immune responses, such as autoimmunity and inflammation. Recent reports demonstrated that a polymorphism with an amino acid substitution (Met55Val) in SUMO4 was associated with type 1 diabetes in Asian populations, although no association was reproduced in subjects of Caucasian descent. The present study aimed to clarify the contribution of SUMO4 to type 2 diabetes susceptibility in the Japanese population. Subjects: The 753 subjects included 355 cases and 398 control subjects. Methods: The SUMO4 Met55Val (rs237025) and 001Msp (rs577001) polymorphisms were genotyped. Results: Strong linkage disequilibrium (D': 1.0 in each pair of single-nucleotide polymorphisms) across the MAP3K7IP2/SUMO4 region was shown in the Japanese population. The frequency of genotypes with the G allele of the SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism was significantly higher in patients with type 2 diabetes [odds ratio, 1.46; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08-1.93; P = 0.01, X(2) 2 test]. The association was concentrated in patients without insulin therapy (odds ratio, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.13-2.15; P = 0.0072), but not in those with insulin (odds ratio, 1.24; 95% CI, 0.81-1.89; not significant). Conclusions: These data, together with previous reports, suggest the contribution of the SUMO4 Met55Val polymorphism to both type 1 and type 2 diabetes susceptibility in the Japanese population.

    A recent study in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse demonstrated the involvement of interleukin (IL)-21 in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. A strong susceptibility locus, Idd3, has also been mapped to the interval containing the routine gene for IL-21 (I/21), making I/21 and the human orthologue IL21 a functional and positional candidate gene for type 1 diabetes. To investigate the contribution of the human genes for IL-21 and its receptor (IL-21R) to susceptibility to type 1 diabetes, we re-sequenced IL21 to identify novel sequence variants, searched for informative variants of IL21R, and studied the association of theme variants with the disease. Two polymorphisms, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and a mononucleotide repeat polymorphism, were identified for IL21, and an allele of the mononucleotide repeat polymorphism was positively associated with the IL21R were identified, one of which was associated with the disease. Scoring of individuals according to the status of these alleles showed a significant trend for high scores for susceptibility in diabetes patients, suggesting the contribution of IL21 and IL21R to disease susceptibility in an additive manner. These data suggest a contribution of IL21 and IL21R to genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes and possible involvement of IL-21 and its receptor system in the disease pathogenesis.

    lestimide, have been clinically used as cholesterol-lowering agents. These agents bind bile acids in the intestine and reduce enterohepatic circulation of bile acids, leading to accelerated conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. A significant improvement in glycemic control was reported in patients with type 2 diabetes whose hyperlipidemia was treated with bile acid-binding resins. To confirm the effect of such drugs on glucose metabolism and to investigate the underlying mechanisms, an animal model of type 2 diabetes was given a high-fat diet with and without colestimide. Diet-induced obesity and fatty liver were markedly ameliorated by colestimide without decreasing the food intake. Hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and insulin response to glucose, as well as dyslipidemia, were markedly and significantly ameliorated by the treatment. Gene expression of the liver indicated reduced expression of small heterodimer partner, a pleiotropic regulator of diverse metabolic pathways, as well as genes for both fatty acid synthesis and gluconeogenesis, by treatment with colestimide. This study provides a molecular basis for a link between bile acids and glucose metabolism and suggests the bile acid metabolism pathway as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.

    Type I diabetes is a polygenic disease with a major susceptibility locus, IDDM1, located in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region. Although class 11 loci, DR and DQ genes in particular, are major components of IDDM1, accumulating lines of evidence indicated that IDDM1 consists of multiple components and that non-class 11 genes in addition to class 11 genes contribute to susceptibility to and/or age-at-onset of type I diabetes. To identify a second component of IDDM1, we investigated the association of a panel of polymorphisms in 2.2 Mb region of the HLA encompassing from class 11 to class I regions with type 1 diabetes. Polymorphisms types were: DRB1 and DQB1 in class 11; two microsatellite markers, BAT2-GT and TNF alpha in class 111; and, five microsatellite markers, STR-MICA, MIB, C1-3-1, C2-4-4, and C3-2-10 in class I region. A total of > 200 Japanese patients and healthy control subjects were studied. Class 11 DRB1*0405 and DQB1*0401 were significantly associated with susceptibility to, but not with age-at-onset of, type 1 diabetes. C1-3-1, located near C locus, was significantly associated with not only susceptibility to, but also age-at-onset of type I diabetes. These data suggest that a second component of IDDM1 maps to the HLA class I region, contributing to susceptibility to as well as age-at-onset of type I diabetes.

    Multiple genes are involved in the susceptibility to autoimmune type I diabetes. The immunoreceptor programmed cell death-1 (PDCD-1), an inhibitory costimulatory molecule regulating peripheral tolerance, was reported to play a role in the development of type 1 diabetes, making the human PDCD-1 gene, PDCD1, as a candidate for disease susceptibility. In this article, we sequenced all 5 exons and exon-intron junctions of PDCD1] in Japanese subjects, and found 10 sequence variants. Preliminary data suggested no association of these polymorphisms with type 1 diabetes. These sequence variants are valuable for further studies to clarify contribution of PDCD1] to susceptibility to type I diabetes.

    Although major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-linked susceptibility is the strongest component, recent studies demonstrated that MHC-linked susceptibility to type 1 diabetes consists of multiple components both in humans and non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse. In the NOD mouse, Idd16 has been mapped to the region adjacent to, but distinct from Idd1 in the MHC class II region. Establishment of subcongenic NOD.CTS-H2 lines that possess the same MHC class II as the NOD mouse but non-NOD-derived chromosomal region in its adjacent regions, would facilitate further narrowing down of the localization of Idd16.

    Type 1 diabetes is under polygenic control both in humans and the NOD mouse. Recently a possible role of IL-21 in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes was demonstrated in the NOD mouse. Furthermore, the murine IL-21 gene is mapped to the Idd3 interval, making the human IL-21 gene (IL21) a functional as well as positional candidate for susceptibility. We therefore screened sequence variants of IL21 and studied the association with type 1 diabetes. Preliminary data showed no association of IL21 polymorphisms with the disease, suggesting that IL21 plays little role in susceptibility to type 1 diabetes in Japanese.

    Recent study demonstrated that M55V variant in SUMO4 at IDDM5 was associated with susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. Subsequent studies, however, showed inconsistency in the association. To clarify the population-wide effect on the association of SUMO4 with type 1 diabetes, we have performed meta-analysis including our own data in Asian populations, which confirmed a highly significant association in Asian populations (summary odds ratio [OR]: 1.29, P = 7.0 x 10(-6)), but indicated significant heterogeneity in the genetic effect of the SUMO4 gene on type 1 diabetes among diverse ethnic groups. These observations indicated the association of SUMO4 with type 1 diabetes in Asian populations.

    A recombinant major histocompatibility complex (MHC) with the same class III region as the NOD mouse, but different class II region from the NOD mouse was identified in the NON mouse, and NOD mice congenic for this recombinant MHC, NOD.NON-H2, was established. None of the congenic mice homozygous for the NON MHC developed type 1 diabetes, indicating that the NOD MHC is necessary for the development of type 1 diabetes. A small portion of MHC heterozygotes developed late-onset type 1 diabetes, suggesting the contribution of class III MHC to type 1 diabetes susceptibility.

    Association studies are a potentially powerful approach to identifying susceptibility variants for common multifactorial diseases such as type I diabetes, but the results are not always consistently reproducible. The IDDM5 locus has recently been narrowed to an similar to 200-kb interval on chromosome 6q25 by two independent groups. These studies demonstrated that alleles at markers in the mitogen-activating protein kinase 7 interacting protein 2 (MAP3K7IP2)/ SUMO4 region were associated with susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. Subsequent studies, however, showed inconsistency in the association of the SUMO4 gene with type I diabetes. To clarify the contribution of the M55V polymorphism of the SUMO4 gene to type I diabetes susceptibility, 541 type I diabetic patients and 768 control subjects were studied in Asian populations. The M55V polymorphism was significantly associated with type 1 diabetes in Asian populations (summary odds ratio [OR] 1.46, P = 0.00083, Mantel-Haenszel test). Meta-analysis of published studies and the present data confirmed a highly significant association in Asian populations (summary OR 1.29, P = 7.0 x 10(-6)) but indicated heterogeneity in the genetic effect of the SUMO4/MAP3K7IP2 locus on type I diabetes among diverse ethnic groups. These data indicate that the MAP3K7IP2/SUMO4 locus in the IDDM5 interval is associated with type 1 diabetes in Asian populations.

    糖尿病を発症するマウス(Nagoya-Shibata-Yasuda mouse：NSY)の糖尿病感受性遺伝子を有する染色体を、非糖尿病マウス(C3H)へ導入した系統であるコンソミックマウス/コンジェニックマウスの作製により、糖尿病および糖尿病関連形質の疾患感受性領域を特定の染色体/領域に絞り込んできた(Kobayashi M, Babaya N, et al., BMC Genet 2020、Babaya N et al., Int J Endocrinol 2018、Babaya N et al., BMC Genet 2014、Babaya N et al., J Diabetes Res 2013、Babaya N et al., Diabetologia 2010 など)。今年度は、1番染色体コンジェニック系統の表現型解析を行い、加齢に伴う遺伝子座の影響を検討した。 ヒトにおいては２型糖尿病患者の表現型パネル作成を行っているが、その過程で副腎腫瘤をもつ個人を2例同定し、病理学的解析を行い報告した（Babaya N et al., J Endocr Soc 2021、Yoshida S, Babaya N et al., J Endocr Soc 2021、今村、馬場谷他, 第22回日本内分泌学会近畿支部学術集会）。また、ヒト糖尿病における新たな臨床ツールcontinuous glucose monitoring(CGM)の関連指標とHbA1c・残存膵β細胞機能との関連解析についての発表を行った（馬場谷他, 第94回日本内分泌学会学術集会）。さらには、膵部分切除術（膵頭十二指腸切除術と膵尾部切除術）後の糖尿病発症率の解析を行い、術式の違いによる糖尿病発症率に差があることを明らかにし報告した(Niwano F, Babaya N, et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab)。

    本研究は１型糖尿病の濃厚発症家系を対象とした責任遺伝子変異の解明を目的としている。我が国における１型糖尿病の有病率は欧米に比べて低いため、濃厚発症家系の集積は容易ではないが、本研究申請時以降も新規4家系13名の検体を上乗せすることに成功し、合計で13家系54名（罹患者35名、非罹患者19名）について、既に全エクソームシーケンス作業は完了している。本研究の解析対象者を選別する際に、糖尿病の病型診断として確実な１型糖尿病に限定して効率的に解析を進める必要がある。この目的のためには、高額な次世代シーケンス工程に入る前に、HLA遺伝子型タイピングをおこない、１型糖尿病の疾患感受性ハプロタイプを有することを確認するスクリーニング工程が非常に有効な手段であると考えられる。確実な１型糖尿病を選別するため、多数検体に対するHLAタイピングが必要であるが、不確実な病型診断を回避することにより、さらに高額な次世代シーケンス行程を必要かつ最小限に抑制するに足る十分な効果があった。また、独立基盤形成支援にともなう交付決定後増額を得たことにより各家系の発端者に対して全ゲノムシーケンス（WGS）を実施することができ、全エクソームシーケンス（WES）だけでは検出し得ない、染色体上の大きな構造変異の探索の探索やミスアライメントの検証など変異解析の精度を飛躍的に向上させることができた。 また次世代シーケンス解析によって同定された遺伝子変異が、技術的に生じるノイズではなく、実際に遺伝子配列の変異があることを検証するため、Taqman法を用いて遺伝子型を決定することにより、次世代シーケンスの結果を随時検証した。 上記の結果を、18th Immunology of Diabetes Society Congress(2021.11.2. Virtual conference)にて発表し、現在論文執筆中である。

    本研究では、１型糖尿病において治療困難の原因となる膵β細胞機能の完全廃絶を規定する遺伝因子を同定し、その分子メカニズムを明らかにするとともに、膵β細胞機能の完全廃絶を予知・予測するバイオマーカーを探索・同定することにより、内因性インスリンの完全廃絶阻止に資する基盤情報を得ることを目的として研究を進めている。 １）膵β細胞機能の完全廃絶を規定する遺伝因子の解析： 膵β細胞が発症時から完全廃絶する劇症１型糖尿病のゲノムワイド関連解析（GWAS）でゲノムワイド有意水準をクリアしたHLA領域とCSAD領域のターゲットリシークエンスを進め、劇症化・膵β細胞機能完全廃絶の直接原因となる変異・多型の同定・抽出を進めている。また、自己免疫性１型糖尿病（急性発症・緩徐進行）を対象としたGWASを新たに進めており、劇症１型糖尿病のGWAS結果と対比した解析を行うことで、１型糖尿病の劇症化・膵β細胞機能の完全廃絶に関与する遺伝子を抽出・同定し、膵β細胞機能完全廃絶を規定する体質・遺伝子の全貌解明へと展開する。 ２）膵β細胞機能の完全廃絶を予知・予測するバイオマーカーの探索： 劇症１型糖尿病のGWASで同定した染色体12q13.13のCSADがコードする遺伝子の機能に関連する血中バイオマーカーの探索を進めた結果、CSADが律速酵素として生合成する産物Taurineがバイオマーカーとなりうる可能性が示唆された。これと並行して血中メタボローム解析を施行し、アミノ酸以外の各種メタボライトも含めた解析で膵β細胞完全廃絶に関与するバイオマーカーの探索を進めている。

    糖尿病を発症するマウス(NSY)の糖尿病感受性遺伝子を有する染色体を、非糖尿病マウス(C3H)へ導入した系統であるコンソミックマウス/コンジェニックマウスの作製により、糖尿病および糖尿病関連形質の疾患感受性領域を特定の染色体/領域に絞り込んできた(Babaya N et al., BMC Genet 2014、Babaya N et al., J Diabetes Res 2013、Babaya N et al., Diabetologia 2010、Babaya N et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2005)。 今年度は、14番染色体コンジェニック・コンソミック系統の表現型解析が終了し、ストレプトゾトシン感受性（膵β細胞の脆弱性）領域が14番染色体のテロメア側に存在することを報告した（Babaya N et al., Int J Endocrinol 2018）。 また、NSYマウスとは異なる系統（A/J、SM系統）のコンジェニックマウスを用いて、ストレプトゾトシン感受性に関しての遺伝子同定をおこなった。この結果、NSYマウスと同様に別系統のマウスにおいても11番染色体上にストレプトゾトシン感受性領域が存在することが明らかとなった（Maegawa T, Babaya N, et al., Mamm Genome 2018）。 ヒトにおいては２型糖尿病患者の表現型パネル作成を行っているが、その過程で特異な表現型をもつ個人を1例同定し、遺伝子解析を行い報告した（Babaya N, et al., J Endocr Soc 2018）。これまで実験動物においてのみ証明されているIRS2遺伝子の糖尿病に対する影響が、ヒトにおいても関与している可能性を示した。

    本研究では１型糖尿病の成因を分子レベルで解明し、それに基づいた予知・予防・根治療法の構築・確率を目的として、分子遺伝学的アプローチを駆使して１型糖尿病の疾患感受性遺伝子の同定・解析を進めた。 これまでに全国規模で収集を進めてきた濃厚発症家系においては、次世代シーケンス技術を用いて全エクソン塩基配列解析を行い、rare variantの同定を進めている。また、多数の症例・対照におけるゲノムワイド関連解析（GWAS）も並行して行い、多くの症例に共通するありふれた多型（common variant）の同定・解析を進めた。 rare variantの解析では家系内に３名以上の患者を有する濃厚家系の構成員（2n=66）と孤発の１型糖尿病孤発例（2n=676）、健常対照者（2n=792）を比較解析した結果、濃厚家系ではHLA-DR8ハプロタイプ（DRB1*08:02-DQB1 *03:02）が極めて高率であることが明らかとなった。HLA以外の新規遺伝子座を同定する目的で、濃厚家系における構成員のエクソームシークエンスを完了し、原因となる変異・多型の絞り込みを進めている。 common variant の解析では全国規模で集積した多数例の劇症１型糖尿病を対象としてGWAS解析を完了し、HLA以外にゲインムワイドの有意水準をクリアする新たな遺伝子を染色体12q13.13に同定し、報告した（Diabetes 68:665-675, 2019）.

    1)ヒトにおける膵島破壊に関わる疾患感受性遺伝子の探索：１型糖尿病濃厚発症家系を7家系集積し、全エクソームシーケンス解析をおこなうことで候補遺伝子変異の探索をおこなった。そのうち1家系における変異が欧米白人には欠損し日本人特有の変異であること、孤発例日本人１型糖尿病の発症とも関連していることを見いだし（リスクアリル頻度：患者群6.1% vs 対照群0.7％、p<0.0003, オッズ比9.07、95％CI3.05-26.93）、また複数の家系に共通して1型糖尿病の発症に関与する遺伝子領域を連鎖解析にて同定し、その成果について第61回日本糖尿病学会年次学術集会シンポジウム5．1型糖尿病研究の最前線 －多様化する病態と診断上の課題－、「1型糖尿病の遺伝素因 Genetic factors of type 1 diabetes」 （東京、2018.5．24）にて口演発表をおこなった。その後、更に2家系の1型糖尿病濃厚発症家系を新規に見いだし、日本人に特有の膵島破壊に関わる遺伝素因の解明を進行中である。 2)マウスを用いた膵島破壊修飾モデルの作出：Mafa遺伝子ノックアウトNODマウスを作出し、8週齢における膵島炎スコアを検討した結果、ノックアウトマウスにて有意に膵島炎スコアが高いことを見いだした。さらに１型糖尿病の累積発症率を検討中である。 3)膵島破壊の新規バイオマーカーの探索：1型糖尿病19名、2型糖尿病6名、膵性糖尿病4名、バセドウ病6名の血漿サンプルの集積を完了し、このうち自己免疫性１型糖尿病（インスリン分泌能微小残存）、自己免疫性１型糖尿病（インスリン分泌完全枯渇）、２型糖尿病（インスリン非依存状態）において、miRNA解析をおこなった。

    ２型糖尿病は、複数の遺伝因子と環境因子との複雑な相互作用により発症する多因子疾患である。本研究では、疾患モデルマウスを用いて２型糖尿病関連形質の感受性遺伝子同定を行った。また、ヒトにおける表現型パネル作成を行い、その過程で得られた特異な症例について報告した(Babaya N, et al., BMC Endocrine Disorders、2017)。さらに、１型糖尿病、バセドウ病の疾患感受性遺伝子に関する報告を行った(Babaya N, et al., Hum Immunol、2017, and Babaya N, et al., J Clin Endocrinol Metab、2015)。

    １型糖尿病の自己免疫と臓器特異性を一元的に説明する遺伝子の同定を目的に、標的臓器の異なる自己免疫の相互関係を解析した結果、膵β細胞と甲状腺、甲状腺と毛包自己免疫が相互に合併、膵β細胞と毛包自己免疫の合併は極めて稀であった。遺伝的背景を解析するとHLAが臓器特異性に大きく関与し、DR4 (DRB1*04:05-DQB1*04:01)が膵β細胞特異性に寄与することが示された。自己免疫と膵β細胞特異性の両者に関与するMAFAをノックアウトしたNODマウスでは発症が予想に反して発症が抑制されること、その機序として、膵β細胞特異的調節性T細胞がラ氏島炎部位に集積することが一因である可能性が示された。

    １型糖尿病における膵β細胞破壊のメカニズムを解明する目的で以下の解析をおこなった。(1) ヒトにおいて標的臓器を決定するHLA遺伝子とnon-HLA遺伝子について解明した（J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2015、Hum Immnol 2017）。また1型糖尿病発症家系を集めて日本人特有の新規Rare variantを同定した。(2) インスリンに対する免疫寛容を誘導する転写因子Mafa遺伝子の欠損マウスモデルを作出し、膵島炎は亢進するが免疫制御性リンパ球浸潤も増加するため糖尿病発症が抑制されることを解明した（第29回糖尿病・肥満動物学会、京都、平成27年2月14日にて発表）。

    現在50以上の1型糖尿病疾患感受性遺伝子座が報告されているが、これら全てをあわせても1型糖尿病の遺伝素因の70－80％しか説明できない。残されたmissing heritabilityの一部は、アリル頻度は低いが浸透率が高いrare variantにより説明できる。 日本人では１型糖尿病発症頻度が低いので3人以上の同胞発症家系は稀である。我々は4姉妹中3人に１型糖尿病を認め、残りの1人は膵島自己抗体が陽性である１家系を見いだした。これら4姉妹および両親を対象に全エクソームシークエンスを行い、全変異から11の候補変異に絞り込み、さらにゲノム連鎖解析の結果等から１つの変異を候補変異として絞り込んだ。

    １型糖尿病は膵β細胞が免疫機序により破壊される臓器特異的自己免疫疾患であり、免疫調節機能を明らかにすることが治療につながる。１型糖尿病における免疫調節機能を解明するため、新規１型糖尿病感受性遺伝子の同定を行うとともに、複数の異なる臓器における自己免疫疾患の関連について解析を行い、遺伝子間の関連を明らかにした。新規１型糖尿病感受性遺伝子Mafa遺伝子では、１型のノックアウトマウスを作成し解析をしたところ、Mafa遺伝子が糖尿病発症と膵島炎に関わる遺伝子であることが明らかとなった。

    「１型糖尿病でなぜ膵β細胞だけが破壊されるのか？」を分子レベルで解明することを目的として研究を進めた。胸腺で自己抗原インスリンの発現調節に寄与する転写因子MafAをノックアウトした１型糖尿病モデルNODマウスでは１型糖尿病発症が有意に抑制されること、ヒト対応遺伝子MAFAの機能亢進型多型は１型糖尿病と負の関連を示すことが明らかとなった。毛包に対する臓器特異的自己免疫疾患である円形脱毛症では甲状腺自己免疫を高率に合併するが、１型糖尿病との合併は極めて稀であること、その理由として両疾患に対するHLAクラスⅡハプロタイプの感受性、抵抗性が逆方向を向いていることが示された。
