Description

EphA2 gene and application of methylation level detection reagent thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to an EphA2 gene and an application of a methylation level detection reagent thereof.
Background
Diabetes is a collective term for heterogeneous metabolic disorders, and its main manifestation is chronic hyperglycemia. The pathogenesis is mainly due to the destruction of islet beta cells, including insulin resistance, insufficient progressive insulin secretion or both. The metabolic diseases seriously endanger the health of human beings are formed by occult onset, high morbidity and more complications. Currently, about 4.15 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes, and it is estimated that about 1.93 million people suffer from undiagnosed diabetes. Among them, type 2 diabetes accounts for more than 90% of diabetes patients, often causes complications of micro-and macrovascular diseases, brings deep psychological and physical pains to patients and nursing staff, and brings huge burden to medical care systems. To date, despite the large amount of data collected and analyzed regarding diabetes, the actual molecular mechanisms underlying development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are unknown. Based on this, a molecular marker for diagnosing islet beta cell apoptosis caused by homocysteine is urgently needed to be searched, and the prevention and treatment strategy of type 2 diabetes in clinic is further discussed, which has great and profound significance for improving the health level of human beings and optimizing the population quality.
Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfur-containing non-protein amino acid formed in the metabolism process of essential amino acid methionine, and can cause important biological functions of apoptosis, autophagy, scorch and the like of cells. According to epidemiological investigations, Hcy levels are elevated in obese patients accompanied by impaired insulin resistance and insulin secretion, and even in non-diabetic insulin resistant people, and it can be seen that Hcy is closely associated with blood glucose abnormalities. Research evidence suggests that excessive production of proinflammatory cytokines leads to DM and that local production of IL-1 β in the islets leads to islet β cell dysfunction and thus to decreased insulin production capacity, suggesting that islet β cell apoptosis may be a central link in its dysfunction. Meanwhile, the study also shows that bcl-2 is a recognized cell regulation target and can generate antagonism with bax, so that the amount of free bax is reduced. The decrease of the protein content of bcl-2 can increase bax translocation to a mitochondrial membrane, so that the permeability of mitochondria is enhanced, cytochrome c (Cyt-c) is released, the online reaction of caspase-3 is activated, and apoptosis occurs. In the research, a Cbs +/-mouse islet beta cell strain (Min6) is cultured in vitro, immunofluorescence and Western blot are adopted to detect apoptosis related indexes, and compared with a control group, the expression of bcl-2 protein in cells subjected to Hcy intervention is reduced, the protein expression of bax and caspase-3 is obviously increased, the ratio of bax/bcl-2 is increased, and the fact that islet beta cell dysfunction caused by Hcy is an important mechanism for increasing blood sugar is suggested.
EphA2 is a major member of the erythropoietin-producing hepatocyte (Eph) receptor, the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase and ligands for ephrin playing important roles in both physiological and pathological processes. Eph receptors and their ligands fall into two subfamilies, with Eph receptors being the largest subfamily of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs). Studies have shown that EphA2 is overexpressed in breast cancer, cervical cancer, and melanoma. No study on EphA2 related to islet beta cell apoptosis and type 2 diabetes is available.
In view of this, the invention is particularly proposed.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a molecular marker for diagnosing islet beta cell apoptosis caused by homocysteine and application thereof, and provides a theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
In a first aspect, the invention provides an application of a reagent for detecting the methylation level of an EphA2 gene in preparing a product for diagnosing diseases caused by islet beta cell apoptosis, wherein the sequence of the EphA2 gene is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1.
Further, the beta cell apoptosis is induced by homocysteine.
Still further, the disease includes type 2 diabetes.
Furthermore, patients with type 2 diabetes have elevated levels of methylation of the EphA2 gene in islet beta cells.
Further, the reagent includes nMS-PCR detection reagent.
Furthermore, the nMS-PCR detection reagent comprises a methylation primer aiming at the EphA2 gene, and the sequence of the methylation primer is shown as SEQ ID NO. 6-7.
In a second aspect, the invention provides the use of the EphA2 gene for screening potential agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Further, the agent down-regulates the methylation level of EphA2 gene.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the invention discovers that the protein expression level and the mRNA expression level of EphA2 in the islet beta cells intervened by homocysteine are obviously lower than those of a control group, which can suggest that EphA2 can play a role in the occurrence and development of diabetes by negatively regulating the apoptosis of the islet beta cells. DNA methylation is the most characteristic phenomenon of epigenetics, and it can cause changes in chromatin structure, DNA stability, DNA conformation and stability, and the way DNA interacts with proteins, thus regulating gene expression.
In the present invention, we found that the methylation level of EphA2DNA in the homocysteine group is obviously increased, which suggests that the reduction of the expression level of EphA2 is closely related to the increase of the methylation level of the DNA in the EphA2 promoter region. DNMT1 is a major enzyme that maintains methylation patterns after DNA replication and plays an important regulatory role in a variety of diseases. The invention discovers that the expression of DNMT1 in the Hcy group is increased, and suggests that DNMT1 has obvious effect in promoting the methylation of EphA2DNA, thereby proving that the hypermethylation expression of EphA2 is closely related to the change of blood sugar level and the apoptosis of islet beta cells.
In conclusion, it can be seen that EphA2 is a key gene of Hcy causing blood sugar abnormality, hypermethylation of DNA in the EphA2 promoter region may be a key mechanism of homocysteine causing islet beta cell apoptosis, which provides a new experimental basis and a new research direction for further research on occurrence of diabetes caused by islet cell secretory dysfunction caused by homocysteine, can also be used as a new marker for clinical early diagnosis and disease development evaluation, and provides a new treatment concept for clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes caused by insulin hyposecretion due to islet beta cell dysfunction, and has potential value.

Claims (8)

  1. The application of the reagent for detecting the methylation level of the EphA2 gene in the preparation of products for diagnosing diseases caused by islet beta cell apoptosis is characterized in that the sequence of the EphA2 gene is shown as SEQ ID NO. 1.
  2. 2. The use of claim 1, wherein said β -cell apoptosis is induced by homocysteine.
  3. 3. The use according to claim 2, wherein the disease comprises type 2 diabetes.
  4. 4. The use of claim 3, wherein the methylation level of the EphA2 gene is elevated in islet beta cells of the type 2 diabetic patient.
  5. 5. The use of claim 4, wherein said reagents comprise nMS-PCR detection reagents.
  6. 6. The use of claim 5, wherein said nMS-PCR detection reagent comprises a methylated primer for the EphA2 gene having the sequence shown in SEQ ID nos. 6-7.
  7. 7. The use of the EphA2 gene of claim 1 for screening for potential agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
  8. 8. The use of claim 7 wherein the agent down-regulates the methylation level of the EphA2 gene.
