W.8: Type 1 and 2 Diabetes mellitus Flashcards
Definition of Diabetes mellitus
A group of metabolic diseases characterized by high glucose levels, that result from defects in insulin secretion, or action, or both.
Diabetes mellitus is the number one cause of (3)?
- Chronic renal failure
- Blindness in adult
- Leg amputation (non- traumatic)
Acute complications of DM (4)
- Ketoacidotic coma
- Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic non- ketoacidotic syndrome
- Lactate- acidoses
- Hypoglycemia
Chronic complications DM (4)
- Microangiopathia (retino-, nephro-, neuropathy)
- Macroangiopathia (atherosclerosis, hypertension)
- Neuropathia (sensory- motor, autonomous)
- Increased risk of infections
Prevalence of DM (in Hungary)
- type 1
- type 2
5- 5,5% (0,5 M hungarians)
- type 1: 5- 10%
- type 2: 90%
IGT in EU states
2,2,- 8,6%
IGT + DM (in Hungary)
1- 1,5 M hungarians
Definition type 1 DM
Results from body´s failure to produce insulin due to beta- cell destruction
LADA (Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults)
Definition type 2 DM
Results from insulin resistance sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency
Definition Gestational DM
Pregnant women, who have never had diabetes before, have a high blood glucose level during pregnancy.
Genetic defect of beta- cell function
MODY 1-6: Maturity onset diabetes of the young.
Monogenic: HNF1A, GCK, HNF4A, IPF1, HNF1B, NEUROD1
Rabson- Mendenhall syndrome
Genetic defects in insulin processing or insulin action.
Exocrine pancreas defects
Inflammation, trauma, malignancy, cystic fibrosis
Endocrinopathies as underlying cause of dev. of DM (4)
- Acromegaly
- Cushing synd.
- Hyperthyreosis
- Phaeochromocytoma
Drugs as underlying causes of dev. of DM (5)
- Pentamidin
- Nicotinacid
- Glucocortociods
- Thiazids
- beta- adrenerg agonist
Infections that may lead to dev. of DM (2)
- Coxsackie virus
- Cytomegalovirus
Genetic abnormalites associated with DM (6)
- Down synd.
- Turner synd.
- Klinefeter syn.
- Huntington chorea
- Porphyria
- Myotonic dystrophy
Further classification of type 1 DM
- type 1 automimmune DM (type 1A)
- type 1 idiopathic DM (type 1B)
Type 1 idiopathic DM (type 1B)
- Rare, inherited form
- No autoimmun mechanism
- Variable need for insulin
- Asian, african individuals
Type 1 automimmune DM (type 1A) (7)
- Patients under age of 30 (but might develop at any age)
- Children < 6 years are in high risk
- Represents 5- 10% of all cases of DM
- Starts rapidly
- beta- cell destruction which leads to lack of insulin
- Autoimmune mechanism
- Insulin treatment
Type 1 automimmune DM (type 1A) will without insulin treatment lead to?
- Ketoacidoses
- Coma
- Death
Classical symptoms of T1DM (4)
- Polyuria, frequent urination: Osmotic diuresis
- Polydypsia, increased thirst: Consequence of polyuria
- Polyphagia, increased hunger: Weight loss result
- Ketoacidoses: in severe cases.
Total mass of 1 million islet cells?
1- 1,5 g.
Genetic factors as underlying cause of dev. of T1DM?
- HLA genes
- Non- HLA genes
Enviromental factors which might lead to T1DM
- Geographical localization
- Viruses
- Bovine serum albumin and insulin
- Toxins
Other etiologic causes of T1DM
- Oxidative/ nitrosative stress
- Epigenetics
- DNA methylation
- Histone deacetylation
- MicroRNAs
How do viruses trigger the autoimmune destruction of beta- cells?
- Viral epitopes, antigenes
- Cytolytic infections might “present” sequestred proteins
- Molecular mimicry
- Coxsackie P2-C and GAD65
- Enterovirus VP1 and Tyrosin phosphate IA-2
Viruses in etiology of T1DM
- Mumps
- Coxsackie A, B
- Rubeola
- Cytomegalovirus
Toxins in etiology of T1DM
- Alloxan
- Stretozotocin
- Nitrozamin
Does the gut microbiota differ between healthy and T1DM children?
Yes
Pathogenesis of T1DM (6)
- Genetic predisposition
- Trigger (virus, toxin)
- Insulitis
- Autoimmune reaction
- beta- cell destruction (cytotoxic T cells and specific antibodies)
- Clinical manifestation (80- 90% destruction of beta- cells)
Insulitis: autoimmune mechanism
- exclusice beta- cell damage (A, D, PP cells are intact)
- Infiltration of islets and the proliferation of immune cells: Autoreactive CD4+ T- cells: Insulin, GAD, IA-2, ZnT8
- Specific antibodies against beta- cells
- Cytokines and chemokines participates in toxicity and the regulation of the process: TNF- alfa, INF- alfa, INF- gamma, CXC chemokin ligand 10
Celltypes: Insulitis early stage
CD8+ cytotoxic T- cells and macrophages
Celltypes: Insulitis late stage
Mature B cells
T1DM Antibody:
Islet cell antibody (ICA)
- Detectable years before overt T1DM
- Present in 60- 80% of newly diagnosed cases of T1DM
T1DM Antibody: Insulin autoantibodies (IAA)
- Up to 100% in overt T1DM under age 5
- Up to 20% detecatble in overt T1DM over age 15
T1DM Antibody:
Glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA)
- Detectable in 80% of the patients years before overt T1DM
- Several lines of evidence suggest the important role of GADA in the etiology of T1DM. –> It activates T lymphocytes which infiltrate and attack beta- cells and also initiates autoimmune insulitis responsible for the destruction of beta- cells.
LADA (Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults) (6)
- T1DM developing in patients > 35 years
- Autoantibodies are present (ICA, GADA)
- Also called 1,5 type DM
- Up 20% of the diagnosed T2DM might be LADA
- Initally non- ketotic, non- insulin requiring (diet and oral AD)
- Later: Insulin treatment is required
LADA, previously known as:
- NIRAD: Non- insulin requiring autoimmun diabetes
- SPT1D: Slowly progressive T1DM
- ADA. Autoimmune diabetes in adults
