RESUMEN
The development of obesity and its metabolic complications is associated with dysregulation of various intrinsic mechanisms, which control basic metabolic processes via changes in the expression of numerous regulatory genes. We studied the expression of the subset of genes, which responsible for control of cell growth and glucose metabolism, in blood cells of obese boys with normal and impaired insulin sensitivity as well as in normal (control) individuals. It was shown that obesity with normal insulin sensitivity enhances the expression of IRS1, RIPK2, IL13RA2, RSPO1, IQSEC, and CCN2 genes but decreases the expression level IRS2 and DNAJC15 genes in the blood cells as compared to control group. Insulin resistance in obese boys leads to up-regulation of IRS2, RSPO1, and DNAJC15 gene expressions as wells to down-regulation of IRS1 and RIPK2 genes in the blood cells versus obese patients with normal insulin sensitivity. Results of this study provide evidence that obesity affects the expression of the subset of genes related to cell growth and glucose metabolism in blood cells and that insulin resistance in obesity is associated with changes in the expression level of IRS1, IRS2, RIPK2, RSPO1, and DNA JC15 genes, which contribute to the development of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance and possibly reflect some changes in fat tissue.

We studied the expression of genes, which responsible for glucose metabolism, in the blood of obese boys with and without of insulin resistance as well as in normal (control) individuals. It was shown that the expression level of PFKFB3 gene is increased, PFKFB1 and INSIG2--is decreased, but HK2 gene--significantly does not change in the blood cells of obese boys with normal insulin sensitivity as compared to control group. Insulin resistance in obese boys leads to up-regulation of INSIG2 gene expression as well as to down-regulation of PFKFB1, PFKFB3, and HK2 genes in the blood.cells as compared to obese patients with normal insulin sensitivity. Results of this study provide evidence that obesity affects the expression of the subset of glucose metabolism-related genes in the blood cells and that insulin resistance in obesity is associated with changes in the expression level of PFKFB1, PFKFB3, HK2, and INSIG2 genes, which contribute to the development of insulin resistance as well as glucose intolerance.
