Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a diagnostic method for type 1 diabetes using autoantibodies,

The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing type 1 diabetes using an autoantibody, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a composition for diagnosing type 1 diabetes comprising an agent for measuring the level of an autoantibody against EEF1A1 or UBE2L3, And a method for detecting an autoantibody to EEF1A1 or UBE2L3 in order to provide information necessary for the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes is one of the most common diseases and is characterized by increased metabolic disturbances as blood glucose levels rise. Diabetes is a hyperglycemic condition, but it can also lead to microvascular or macrovascular complications associated with individual morbidity and mortality.

These complications are dangerous and life-threatening factors that reduce quality of life. The most common type of diabetes is type 2 diabetes (T2DM), often associated with metabolic diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and abdominal obesity. Insulin resistance is important for the onset of type 2 diabetes, where adequate signaling to insulin is not achieved. In contrast, type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is rare compared to type 2 diabetes, but insulin is essential for the treatment of patients with type 1 diabetes, as it is accompanied by an absolute deficiency of insulin. The onset of type 1 diabetes is caused by the selective destruction of pancreatic beta cells by a non-ideal autoimmune response, resulting in an insufficient amount of insulin in the body. Insulin, which is produced in the beta cells of the pancreas, is not only essential for controlling blood sugar levels, but also plays a pivotal role in energy metabolism. In other words, when a patient diagnosed with diabetes is type 1 diabetes, insulin administration is not only essential for controlling blood glucose level but also essential for maintaining life, so it is necessary to diagnose it from type 2 diabetes mellitus at the time of diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.

As such, a common result of the onset of diabetes is an increase in blood glucose level, but the exact diagnosis is very important because the treatment depends on the cause of the disease. (GADA), autoantibodies (GADA), and autoantibodies to protein tyrosine phosphatase autoantibodies (GADA), which are clinically used for the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. -antibodies, IA-2A), zinc transporter auto-antibodies (ZnT8A), and can be used for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (for example, Korean Patent Publication No. 2011-0066059) Studies on autoantibodies as diagnostic markers for diabetes mellitus have been limited.

In addition, the limitations of autoantibodies associated with type 1 diabetes are poorly diagnosed due to low positive rates in fulminant T1DM patients with subtypes of T1DM that are important in adults with type 1 diabetes or in Asia. Furthermore, in Asian T1DM patients, the proportion of autoantibodies to ZnT8 antibodies is lower than that of Westerners. Therefore, it is necessary to find an autoantibody that can enhance the diagnostic utility of T1DM.

Under these circumstances, the present inventors have made extensive efforts to develop a method for specifically diagnosing type 1 diabetes. As a result, by measuring the level of autoantibodies against EEF1A1 or UBE2L3, it is possible to specifically diagnose type 1 diabetes And completed the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples. However, these examples are for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.

Example  1: Detection of autoantibodies contained in serum of diabetic patients

The autologous antibodies contained in the sera of the diabetic patients were uncovered according to the method disclosed in Fig. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a procedure of a method of locating an autoantibody contained in a serum of a diabetic patient.

First, respective sera were obtained from a primary test group consisting of 16 patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), 16 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and 17 patients with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). The mean age of patients with T1DM was 42 ± 16 years, the patients with T2DM were treated with oral diabetes medication for a minimum of 5 years, and the normal subjects were those without diabetes.

PBS was added to each of the obtained sera to obtain a sample diluted 1: 500. The sample was added to protein microarray platform version 5.0 (ProtoArray; Invitrogen), and reacted for 90 minutes. After the reaction was completed, Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated anti-human IgG was added and then scanned with a GenePix 4000B fluorescent scanner (Molecular Devices) to detect 3,060 autoantibodies (AAb) bound to the microarray.

Among these autoantibodies, autoantibodies strongly expressing in T1DM patients were selected. In T1DM patients, 103 and 27 autoantibodies, which were highly correlated with normal T2DM patients, were compared. The autoantibodies, which were significantly higher in T1DM patients than those in the autoantibodies [normal group + T2DM group] , The last 29 autoantibodies were selected (Figure 2a).

Histological cluster analysis was performed on the identified autoantibodies. First, the intensity of the signal detected in the microarray is applied to ProtoArray Prospector, which is a computer software, to calculate a normalized value, and the calculated value is stored in the Gene Expression Omnibus database (http: //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gds) M-statistic test was used to calculate the z value. When the z value was > 1.64, the presence of the autoantibody was considered. The result was indicated by a heat map (Fig. 2B).

FIG. 2B is a heat map showing the results of analysis of changes in the expression levels of autoantibodies contained in T1DM patients, T2DM patients, and normal individuals according to the hierarchical cluster analysis method, in which yellow indicates that the expression level is increased, Indicating that the amount of expression is decreased. Therefore, the intensity of the selected autoantibody was higher in T1DM patients than in T2DM patients or normal subjects.

The relative contribution of these autoantibodies was assessed in order to select autoantibodies that can characteristically distinguish T1DM patients. Specifically, by performing the empirical PLS-DA using the 69 autoantibody expression levels, a variable importance in projection (VIP) value indicating the relative group contribution of each autoantibody isolated from T1DM patients, T2DM patients, Respectively. As a result of estimating the empirical distribution of VIP for the null hypothesis, the VIP lower limit of 1.59, which is 90% of the empirical VIP distribution, was determined, and thus the autoantibody of VIP> 1.59 was separated from the T1DM, T2DM, Were considered to have a significant distribution (Figs. 3A and 3B).

FIG. 3A is a two-dimensional PLS-DA plot showing the results of performing PLS-DA using an autoantibody to distinguish T1DM patients from T2DM patients and normal individuals, and the dotted line indicates the discrimination between T2DM patients and normal individuals and T1DM patients FIG. 3B is a graph showing a variable importance in projection (VIP) value of each autoantibody determined by PLS-DA, and a dotted line indicates a VIP lower limit of 1.59. As shown in FIG. 3B, it was confirmed that the number of autoantibodies having a VIP value higher than the VIP lower limit was 50.

Among the 50 autoantibodies identified, the autoantibodies that were not expressed in the normal subjects were searched for three antibodies: EEF1A1 (eukaryote translation elongation factor 1α1), UBE2L3 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 2L3) or c7orf53 (chromosome 7 open reading frame 53 (EEF1A1-AAb, UBE2L3-AAb, and c7orf53-AAb) (Fig. 3C).

Figure 3c is a heat map showing the expression levels of the respective autoantibodies (EEF1A1-AAb, UBE2L3-AAb and c7orf53-AAb) expressed in T1DM patients, T2DM patients and normal subjects. As shown in FIG. 3C, each selected autoantibody was found to be increased in T1DM patients rather than T2DM patients and normal subjects.

Example  2: Immunofluorescent staining  analysis

To determine whether the three autoantibodies (EEF1A1-AAb, UBE2L3-AAb and c7orf53-AAb) selected in Example 1 were expressed in the pancreas, which is an insulin secretory organ directly affecting T1DM, Dyeing analysis was performed.

Specifically, anti-EEF1A1 antibody, anti -UBE2L3 antibody or anti-c7orf53 antibody was added to the pancreas tissue obtained from a patient who underwent partial pancreatectomy due to serous adenoma and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated secondary antibody was added And further reacted. As a control, an anti-insulin antibody was added to the reaction mixture, followed by further reaction with a secondary antibody conjugated with Alexa Fluor 647, followed by reaction with an anti-glucagon antibody, followed by addition of Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated secondary antibody Lt; / RTI > The immunofluorescent staining was performed and the results were confirmed using a confocal microscope (Olympus FluoView FV1000 confocal laser scanning microscope) (Fig. 4).

FIG. 4 is a photograph showing the results of immunofluorescence staining analysis using anti-EEF1A1 antibody, anti -UBE2L3 antibody or anti-c7orf53 antibody in pancreatic tissues, wherein A shows the result of immunofluorescence staining using anti-EEF1A1 antibody ; B, G, and L show immunofluorescence staining results with anti-insulin antibody; C, H, and M show immunofluorescence staining results with anti-glucagon antibody; D, I, and N represent DAPI stained nuclei; F shows immunofluorescence staining results with anti-UBE2L3 antibody; K represents the result of immunofluorescence staining using anti-c7orf53 antibody; E is a photograph synthesized from A to D; J is a photograph synthesized from F to I, and O is a photograph synthesized from K to N. As shown in Fig. 4, EEF1A1 and UBE2L3 were present in large amounts in islet cells of pancreatic islet contained in pancreatic tissue, while c7orf53 was exceptionally found in alpha cells.

Therefore, EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb, which are autoantibodies that bind to a large amount of antigen present in the pancreatic β-cells of insulin-secreting pancreas, were finally selected.

Example  3: Validation of the effect of autoantibody

Example  3-1: Comparison of autoantibody content

In order to verify the autoantibodies finally selected in Example 2, 95 patients with T1DM, 49 patients with T2DM, 11 patients with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), 20 patients with Graves disease and 66 patients with normal ≪ / RTI > NGT) were used. ELISA was performed on the serum samples, and the amounts of EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb contained in each serum sample were measured (FIG. 5A). At this time, the ELISA was performed by adding a serum sample (1: 1,000-1: 10,000) diluted with PBS to a plate coated with EEF1A1 or UBE2L3 and reacting with a chlorine-derived anti-human IgG-HRP antibody Respectively.

FIG. 5A is a graph showing the results of measurement of the amounts of EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb contained in sera of patients with T1DM, normal human, T2DM, and Graves' disease. As shown in FIG. 5A, it was confirmed that EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb were relatively higher in T1DM patients than normal and T2DM patients ( ** P <0.01). In particular, it was found that the levels of T1DM patients were relatively higher than those of patients with Graves' disease, which was used as a control for autoimmune diseases ( ** P <0.01).

Example  3-2: Antigen inducing autoantibody Positive rate  compare

Positive rates of EEF1A1 and UBE2L3 were measured in the second test group (Table 1).

Therefore, each of the autoantibodies predicts T1DM And it shows a high level of accuracy.

Example  3-4: Verification of the effect of autoantibody in children

To determine whether the method of predicting T1DM using the two autoantibodies could be applied to non-adult children, a tertiary test group comprising 33 children with T1DM and 34 normal children was used. Serum samples were obtained from the tertiary test group and ELISA was performed on the serum samples to determine the amounts of EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb contained in each serum sample (FIG. 5C).

FIG. 5C is a graph showing the results of measurement of the amounts of EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb contained in serum of T1DM child patients and normal children. As shown in FIG. 5C, it was found that EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb were detected at a significantly higher level in serum of children with T1DM than in normal children ( * P <0.05, ** P <0.01).

In summary, the results of Examples 3-1 to 3-4 show that the autoantibodies EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb provided in the present invention are specifically detected in the sera of not only adults but also children T1DM patients, It can be used as a marker for diagnosis.

Example  4: Clinical characterization of autoantibodies

The clinical characteristics of EAD1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb positive T1DM patients were compared with those of GADA (an autoantibody to GAD65), a representative autoantibody of T1DM patients (Table 2). At this time, whether or not the EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb were positive was measured by the diagnostic kit provided in the present invention.

First, the distribution of each autoantibody possessed by T1DM patients was analyzed (Fig. 6A).

FIG. 6A is a Venn diagram showing the distribution of each autoantibody (GADA, EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb) possessed by a T1DM patient. As shown in FIG. 6A, 38.7% (36/93) of the patients in T1DM patients were positive for EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb. In GADA-negative T1DM patients, the proportion of patients positive for either EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb autoantibodies was 40.9% (9/22), and GADA, EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb 86% (80/93) were positive for any of the three autoantibodies.

Using the previously known GADA, it was possible to diagnose about 76% of T1DM patients, but it was found that the diagnosis rate of T1DM patients could be increased to about 86% by using EEF1A1-AAb and UBE2L3-AAb in addition to GADA there was.

Second, the content of EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb in serum according to the age of onset of T1DM was analyzed (FIG. 6B).

FIG. 6B is a graph showing the results of analysis of the content of EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb in serum according to the onset age of T1DM. As shown in FIG. 6B, the content of EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb in serum increased with the age at onset of T1DM, but GADA did not show such a characteristic.

Third, the content of EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb in serum was analyzed according to the duration of T1DM (FIGS. 6C and 6D).

FIG. 6c is a graph showing the results of analysis of the difference in the content of EEF1A1-AAb in serum according to the onset age and the duration of T1DM. FIG. 6d shows the difference in the content of UBE2L3-AAb in serum according to the onset age and duration of T1DM The graph showing the result of the analysis. As shown in FIGS. 6C and 6D, no significant correlation was found between the duration of T1DM and the content of EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb in serum, but the serum EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3 The tendency of the change in the content of AAA was maintained.

Fourth, the content of EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb in serum was analyzed according to C-peptide level on fasting (Fig. 6E).

FIG. 6E is a graph showing the results of analysis of differences in content of EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb in serum according to the level of C-peptide upon fasting. As shown in FIG. 6E, it was confirmed that the content of EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb increased with decreasing C-peptide level on fasting.

Fifth, the contents of EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb in serum according to the subtypes of T1DM were analyzed (FIGS. 6F and 6G).

FIG. 6f is a graph showing the results of analysis of the difference in the content of serum EEF1A1-AAb in a general T1DM patient, a fulminant T1DM patient, or a LADA patient. FIG. 6g is a graph showing the results of a general T1DM patient, a fulminant T1DM patient, Of the total amount of UBE2L3-AAb in the serum. As shown in FIGS. 6F and 6G, no EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb was detected in the serum of the control LADA patient, and a small amount of EEF1A1-AAb or UBE2L3-AAb was detected in serum of fulminant T1DM patients.
