Our aim was to evaluate in a cohort of 125 Italian patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who underwent neurological evaluation, the possible differences in the number of mitochondrial DNA copies (mtDNA) comparing positive and negative patients for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) or diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and comparing them with healthy controls. We also investigated a possible correlation of the number of mtDNA copies with the polymorphism rs3746444 of the MIR499A. T2D patients show a decrease in the number of mtDNA copies compared to healthy controls (p = 2 × 10-10). Dividing the T2D subjects by neurological evaluation, we found a significant mtDNA decrease in patients with DPN compared with those without (p = 0.02), while no differences were observed between subjects with and without CAN. Furthermore, the homozygous variant genotype for the polymorphism rs3746444 of MIR499A correlates with a decrease in the number of mtDNA copies, particularly in T2D patients (p = 0.009). Our data show a decrease in the number of mtDNA copies in subjects with T2D and suggest that this decrease is more evident in patients who develop DPN. Furthermore, the association of the variant allele of MIR499A with the number of mtDNA copies allows us to hypothesize a possible effect of this polymorphism in oxidative stress.

Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate in a cohort of 125 Italian patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), who underwent neurological evaluation, the possible differences in the number of mitochondrial DNA copies (mtDNA) comparing positive and negative patients for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) or diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and comparing them with healthy controls. We also investigated a possible correlation of the number of mtDNA copies with the polymorphism rs3746444 of the MIR499A. T2D patients show a decrease in the number of mtDNA copies compared to healthy controls (p = 2 × 10-10). Dividing the T2D subjects by neurological evaluation, we found a significant mtDNA decrease in patients with DPN compared with those without (p = 0.02), while no differences were observed between subjects with and without CAN. Furthermore, the homozygous variant genotype for the polymorphism rs3746444 of MIR499A correlates with a decrease in the number of mtDNA copies, particularly in T2D patients (p = 0.009). Our data show a decrease in the number of mtDNA copies in subjects with T2D and suggest that this decrease is more evident in patients who develop DPN. Furthermore, the association of the variant allele of MIR499A with the number of mtDNA copies allows us to hypothesize a possible effect of this polymorphism in oxidative stress.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
