| Research Abstract |
We have previously identified the Apop-1 gene, a novel atherosclerosis-specific gene, which codes a mitochondrial protein. However, its functions remain to be determined. We showed that glucose tolerance was significantly impaired in Apop-1-KO mice compared with wild-type controls. Baseline insulin and insulin levels after taking glucose during the GTT were significantly higher in these mice. In MIN6 cells high glucose treatment induced a significant reduction of Apop-1 mRNA expression. These results suggest that Apop-1 might be involved in the genesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In human umbilical endothelial cells(HUVEC) we suggest that Apop-1 might be involved in the mechanism of mitochondrial ROS production induced by high glucose. Additionally, genetic analysis of Apop-1 gene polymorphism(rs1288943) in young women showed that in recessive model plasma LPL activity was significantly lower in T allele group compared with non-T allele group. Assessment of dietary fibers intake estimated from a self-administered diet history questionnaire(DHQ) in young women showed that levels of HOMA-IR and plasma TG were significantly lower in those with the higher intake group compared with the lower intake group. However, this beneficial effect of dietary fibers was disappeared in T allele group. These results suggest that Apop-1 gene polymorphism might affect the relation between dietary habit and the genesis of insulin resistance.
