Analysis of an interferon-gamma gene (IFNG) polymorphism in Danish and Finnish insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients and control subjects.

|
This polymorphism was recently demonstrated to be associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in Japanese subjects.

Analysis of data according to HLA-DQB1 susceptibility status did not reveal heterogeneity of risk at the IFN-gamma locus in either of the populations.

Thus, the modest significance level observed in the Finnish case-control study and the failure to replicate it by the TDT provide little support for the hypothesis that the IFN-gamma gene microsatellite is associated with IDDM.

PDX-1 and Msx-2 expression in the regenerating and developing pancreas.

|
Importantly, we have found that PDX-1, a transcription factor required for insulin gene transcription as well as for pancreatic development during embryogenesis, is expressed in the duct cells of IFNg mice.

|
This striking observation suggests an important role for PDX-1 in the marked regeneration observed in IFNg mice, paralleling its critical function during ontogeny.

Also demonstrated was elevated expression of the homeobox-containing protein Msx-2 in the pancreata of fetal mice as well as in adult IFNg mice, identifying this molecule as a novel marker associated with pancreatic development and regeneration as well.

|
The identification of PDX-1 and Msx in the ducts of the IFNg transgenic pancreas but not in the ducts of the non-transgenic pancreas suggests that these molecules are associated with endocrine precursor cells in the ducts of the IFNg transgenic mouse.

Neopterin, a Marker of Interferon-Gamma-Inducible Inflammation, Correlates with Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate, Waist Circumference, HDL-Cholesterol, Insulin Resistance and Mortality Risk in Adult Boston Community Dwellers of Puerto Rican Origin.

Neopterin concentrations correlated with abdominal obesity (waist circumference, r = 0.085, p < 0.038), HDL cholesterol (r = -0.15, p < 0.0001), insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, r = 0.08, P < 0.03), and plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP (r = -0.13, P = 0.002).

PLP is a cofactor of IFNG-induced key enzymes of tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism.

|
Since PLP deficiency is associated with the increased production of diabetogenic kynurenine derivative, xanthurenic acid, our results suggest that up-regulated IFNG production might contribute to the development of insulin resistance.
