Abstract

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). The pathogenic mechanisms of DPN and the therapeutic interventions required may be distinct between type 1 (T1) and type 2 (T2) DM. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of DPN in both types of diabetes remain unclear. The aim of the current study was to identify the changes in genes and pathways associated with DPN in sciatic nerves of T1- and T2DM mice using bioinformatics analysis. The microarray profiles of sciatic nerves of T1DM (GSE11343) and T2DM (GSE27382) mouse models were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in each. DEGs in the two types of DM (with fold change ≥2 and P<0.05) were identified with BRB-ArrayTools. Gene Ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins and visualized using Cytoscape. Compared with control samples, 623 and 1,890 DEGs were identified in sciatic nerves of T1- and T2DM mice, respectively. Of these, 75 genes were coordinately dysregulated in the sciatic nerves of both models. Many DEGs unique to T1DM mice were localized to the nucleoplasm and were associated with regulation of transcription processes, while many unique to T2DM mice were localized at cell junctions and were associated with ion transport. In addition, certain DEGs may be associated with the different treatment strategies used for the two types of DM. This analysis provides insight into the functional gene sets and pathways operating in sciatic nerves in T1- and T2DM. The results should improve understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of DPN, and provide information for the development of therapeutic strategies for DPN specific to each type of DM.
