摘要：妊娠期糖尿?。℅DM）是一種普遍存在于孕婦中的代謝性疾病。維生素D在調(diào)節(jié)糖代謝和胰島素敏感性方面發(fā)揮著重要作用。該研究旨在探究GDM胎盤組織中維生素D及其相關(guān)基因表達的差異及其與GDM發(fā)生發(fā)展的關(guān)系。本研究選取了40例妊娠晚期GDM孕婦和40例正常妊娠孕婦的胎盤組織，并利用實時熒光定量PCR技術(shù)檢測了其中的CYP27B1和VDR基因表達水平。結(jié)果顯示，GDM孕婦胎盤組織中CYP27B1和VDR表達均較正常妊娠組顯著降低（P<0.05），且CYP27B1和VDR的表達水平與孕期血糖控制情況呈正相關(guān)（P<0.05）。維生素D能夠促進胎盤組織胰島素敏感性與葡萄糖攝取，并可能通過調(diào)節(jié)CYP27B1和VDR的基因表達水平影響GDM的發(fā)生發(fā)展。因此，本研究推測維生素D及其相關(guān)基因可能成為GDM治療和預(yù)防的新靶點。

Introduction

妊娠期糖尿?。℅DM）是指孕期出現(xiàn)糖代謝紊亂的一種糖尿病，其診斷標(biāo)準(zhǔn)為孕期24-28周OGTT的胰島素調(diào)查。GDM在孕婦中的發(fā)病率約為8-10%，嚴(yán)重影響孕婦和胎兒的健康。近年來，研究表明維生素D可以調(diào)節(jié)胰島素敏感性和糖代謝，但其與GDM的關(guān)系尚未完全明確。

MaterialsandMethods

本研究選取了40例GDM孕婦和40例正常妊娠孕婦的胎盤組織，利用實時熒光定量PCR技術(shù)檢測其中的CYP27B1和VDR基因表達水平，并分析其與孕期血糖控制情況的相關(guān)性。

Results

與正常妊娠組相比，GDM孕婦胎盤組織中CYP27B1和VDR表達均顯著降低（P<0.05）。同時，CYP27B1和VDR的表達水平與孕期血糖控制情況呈正相關(guān)（P<0.05）。

Conclusion

維生素D能夠促進胎盤組織胰島素敏感性與葡萄糖攝取，并可能通過調(diào)節(jié)CYP27B1和VDR的基因表達水平影響GDM的發(fā)生發(fā)展。因此，維生素D及其相關(guān)基因可能成為GDM治療和預(yù)防的新靶點。

Gestationaldiabetesmellitus(GDM)isatypeofdiabetesthatoccursduringpregnancyduetodisruptedglucosemetabolism.Itsdiagnosisismadebyinsulintestingofthe24-28weekOGTTduringpregnancy.TheincidenceofGDMinpregnantwomenisapproximately8-10%,whichseriouslyaffectsthehealthofpregnantwomenandfetuses.Inrecentyears,studieshaveshownthatvitaminDcanregulateinsulinsensitivityandglucosemetabolism,butitsrelationshipwithGDMisnotyetfullyunderstood.

MaterialsandMethods：

Inthisstudy,placentaltissuesampleswerecollectedfrom40GDMpregnantwomenand40normalpregnantwomen.TheexpressionlevelsofCYP27B1andVDRgenesweremeasuredusingreal-timefluorescencequantitativePCRtechnology,andtheircorrelationwiththecontrolofbloodglucoseduringpregnancywasanalyzed.
