RESUMO
Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX1), and catalase (CAT) provide the primary antioxidant defense system. Impaired antioxidant defense increases oxidative stress and contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes and diabetic cardiovascular disease (CVD). We preformed a case-control study in Chinese type 2 diabetes patients, to determine if the MnSOD Val16Ala (TâC), GPX1 Pro198Leu (CâT), and CAT -262C/T (CâT) functional polymorphisms contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes or diabetic CVD. Patients with type 2 diabetes (n = 168) were divided into the non-CVD group (n = 83, >10 year since diagnosis) and CVD group (n = 85, history of ischemic CVD). Genotyping was performed using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) or PCR-based direct sequencing. The genotypic distribution in the non-CVD- and CVD-group and the clinical parameters in genotypic groups were not significantly different in the three polymorphic sites, respectively. Among eight genotypic combinations, the most common TT+CC+CC genotype (59.5%) was associated with higher triglyceride levels than the TT+CT+CC genotype, the second frequent one (14.9%; 1.77 ± 0.12 vs. 1.21 ± 0.11 mmol/l, P = 0.001), and all non-TT+CC+CC genotypes (40.5%; 1.77 ± 0.12 vs. 1.43 ± 0.12 mmol/l, P = 0.048). In the CVD group, significantly elevated triglyceride levels were also observed in patients with TT+CC+CC compared to patients with TT+CT+CC (2.00 ± 0.18 vs. 1.37 ± 0.16 mmol/l, P = 0.018) or non-TT+CC+CC genotypes (2.00 ± 0.18 vs. 1.65 ± 0.19 mmol/l, P = 0.070). The common MnSOD, GPX1, and CAT TT+CC+CC genotype may contribute to hypertriglyceridemia in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes or diabetic CVD.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of the manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) Val16Ala (V16A) polymorphism with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in Chinese patients, a case-control study was performed. This case-control study included 172 non-diabetic (non-DM) subjects and 257 T2DM patients with or without DN. Among T2DM patients, 154 had DN [albumin excretion rate (AER) >or= 30 mg/24 h] and 103 did not (AER < 30 mg/24 h), but the latter with known diabetes duration >or=10 years. The DN patients were further divided into groups with microalbuminuria (DN-1; n = 92; 300 > AER >or= 30 mg/24 h) and overt albuminuria nephropathy (DN-2; n = 62; AER >or= 300 mg/24 h). PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was used to detect genotypes of the V16A polymorphism for all subjects. The genotypic distributions of the V16A polymorphism in non-DM and T2DM subjects were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and Ala allelic frequencies did not differ (11.9% vs. 9.1%; P > 0.05). The AA+VA genotypic frequencies of DN patients were significantly lower than those of non-DN patients (11.6% vs. 24.3%; P = 0.008). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that except for HbA1C, triglyceride, and BMI, which were high risk factors for the development of DN, the AA+VA genotype of the MnSOD-V16A polymorphism was an independent protective factor from the development of DN (odds ratio = 0.42; 95% CI = 0.18-0.95; P = 0.037) in T2DM patients. Our results suggested that the MnSOD-V16A polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of diabetic nephropathy in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.
