Abstract
Jaioberriko diabetes mellitusa (DMN) bizitzako lehen sei hilabeteetan garatzen den diabetes mota arraro bat da. Kasu gehienetan diabetes isolatu bezala ematen da, baina agertu daiteke beste egoera patologiko batzuekin batera, gaixotasun autoimmuneak kasu. Exoma osoaren sekuentziazioaren bitartez STAT3 transkripzio faktorearen DNAra lotzeko domeinuan mutazio aktibatzaile berri bat identifikatu dugu jaiberriko diabetesa duen paziente batean. Gure ikerketa funtzionalek agerian utzi dute mutazio honek STAT3 transkripzio faktorearen hiperaktibazioa eragiten duela eta honek, era berean, eragina duela zelula beta pankreatikoaren funtzioan. Konkretuki, identifikatutako mutazioak Isl-1 transkripzio faktorearen inhibizioa eragiten du eta ondorioz, intsulinaren adierazpena gutxitzen da.
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare form of diabetes diagnosed within the first 6 months of life. Most cases of NDM involve isolated diabetes, but sometimes NDM appears in association with other pathological conditions, including autoimmune diseases. By using whole-exome sequencing, we identified a novel missense mutation in the binding domain of the STAT3 protein in a patient with NDM. The functional analyses showed that the mutation results in an aberrant activation of STAT3, leading to deleterious downstream effects in pancreatic b-cells. The identified mutation leads to hyperinhibition of the transcription factor Isl-1 and, consequently, to a decrease in insulin expression.
