La metilación global del ADN y los niveles de homocisteína en plasma se encuentran disminuidos en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 1

Abstract: (r = -0.564, p < 0.01) and healthy subjects (r = 0.440, p = 0.03 (Rev Med Chile 2015; 143: 562-568)

“…On the other hand, some studies refuted the link between HHcy and incidence of retinopathy in diabetic patients [40,41]. Indeed, it was reported that T1DM patients had lower levels of Hcy and global DNA methylation [42]. A recent study reported that elevated Hcy levels were associated with an increased risk of DR, especially in T2DM patients [43].…”

“…Commonly, increased plasma homocysteine is considered as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disorder and thrombosis [ 45 ]. However, reduced circulating homocysteine have been reported in some populations with T1DM (from children to adults) compared with control [ 46 48 ] and plasma homocysteine showed a positive correlation with age in diabetic patients [ 47 ]. Therefore, in some populations with young age, the low concentration of homocysteine (under the threshold of 15µM) may not statistically represent the risk of cardiovascular events but acts as diagnostic biomarkers for distinguish MODY2 and T1DM, though the possible mechanism remains to be explored.…”

“…La metilación se lleva a cabo por acción de las DNA metiltransferasas (DNMT), las cuales añaden grupos metilo en la posición 5' de la citosina del dinucleótido CpG, el cual se encuentra repetido en estructuras llamadas islas CpG, en los genomas de los mamíferos, éstas llegan a tener una extensión de 300 a 3,000 pares de bases, las cuales se encuentran cercanas a las regiones promotoras, donde se lleva a cabo el inicio de la transcripción, lo que permite la regulación genética por esté mecanismo 36,37 . La adición de grupos metilo al DNA no permite la separación de ambas hebras, evitando la unión de la maquinaria de transcripción y la formación de nuevas moléculas de RNA.…”
