Abstract

Background

Microvascular complications related to diabetes mellitus type II such as foot ulcers are the reason of many mortalities among T2DM patients. The role of microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) as potent regulators of gene expression is studied in different diseases such as diabetes mellitus and primary studies revealed their importance as early detecting biomarkers. Therefore, in this study it is tried to evaluate the expression level of some miRNAs (miR-770-5p, miR-661 and miR-571) in serum and tissue samples of T2DM related foot ulcer among Iranian patients.

Methods

30 samples of blood and 30 muscle tissue were collected from T2DM patients suffering foot ulcer (T2DM + FU), 30 blood samples collected from T2DM patients without foot ulcer (T2DM-FU). 30 tissue samples collected from patients with trauma and 30 blood samples were selected as healthy controls.

Results

The three studied miRNAs were statistically significant in all groups in comparison to control blood group. Also, comparison between other groups showed a significant increase of all studied miRNAs especially in the blood and tissues of T2DM + FU patients. The only significant correlation detected between the FBS level and miR-571 expression pattern in blood samples of T2DM + FU group. Finally, the results showed that miR-571, -661, and -770 has a statistically significant discriminative character for differentiating T2DM + FU patients from T2DM-FU both in tissue and blood samples.

Conclusion

Although more studies are essential for certifying these findings, our results showed that miR-770-5p, miR-661 and miR-571 are correlated with the microvascular complications related with T2DM such as foot ulcer.
