Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes in Non-Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus: Abnormalities in Metabolism and Function

Abstract: Patients with NIDDM have elevated [Ca2+]i levels in PMNLs. This abnormality is probably induced by hyperglycemia and is primarily responsible for the imparied phagocytosis seen in these patients.

“…21 Neutrophils from patients with diabetes can have impaired biological responses, including reduced bactericidal activity and impaired chemotaxis. 22,23 Compared with neutrophils from age and sex-matched controls, neutrophils from patients with diabetes adhere with less affinity to endothelial cell monolayers. 24,25 In addition, neutrophils from diabetic patients produce 40% less leukotriene B4 than do neutrophils from healthy volunteers.…”

“…Impaired neutrophil function or altered neutrophilendothelial interactions have been proposed as a possible mechanisms for reduced incidence of respiratory dysfunction. 22,23 Likewise, hyperglycemia can have immunomodulatory effects. Hyperglycemia in itself has an independent effect on neutrophil and endothelial properties, resulting in decreased injury in response to endotoxin.…”

“…To the Editor: The −1131 T>C (SNP3) polymorphism of apo A-V gene has been associated in some studies to an increase in triglycerides and in few cases to a decrease in HDL-cholesterol. Its frequency is 12% in Afro-Americans, 16% in Hispanics, 6 to 16% in Caucasians and 7% in a Spanish control cohort [1,2,3,4]. The heterozygote subjects for rare SNP3 allele (C/T) are related to an increase in triglycerides in Hispanic and Caucasian men, although these data were not observed in another study where the increase in triglycerides was only statistically significant in homozygotes for the mutated allele [3].…”

“…Several aspects of neutrophil dysfunction in Type 2 diabetes have been attributed to the metabolic consequences of hyperglycaemia and normalisation of glycaemia has been associated with an overall improvement in neutrophil function [4]. However, it is unclear whether impaired neutrophil-cytoskeletal remodelling and abnormal trafficking of cell surface antigens in Type 2 diabetes is due to altered metabolism.…”
