Differential mRNA expression of neuroinflammatory modulators in the spinal cord and thalamus of type 2 diabetic monkeys

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a pivotal chronic disease with an increasing prevalence. Recent studies have found associations between T2DM and the development of central nervous system (CNS) tumours, a special class of solid tumours with an unclear pathogenesis. In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between T2DM and certain glycaemic factors with common CNS tumours by using genetic data to conduct Mendelian randomization (MR) and co-localisation analysis. We found a causal relationship between T2DM and glioblastoma, fasting glucose and spinal cord tumours, glycated haemoglobin and spinal cord tumours, and insulin-like growth factor-1 and spinal cord tumours, pituitary tumours, and craniopharyngiomas. These results clarify the relationship between T2DM, glucose-related factors, and common CNS tumours, and they provide valuable insight into further clinical and basic research on CNS tumours, as well as new ideas for their diagnosis and treatment.
