Integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics data revealed role of insulin resistant SNW1 gene in the pathophysiology of gestational diabetes by Ravi Bhushan, Rimjhim Trivedi, Ritu Raj, Anjali Rani, Sangeeta Rai, Anima Tripathi, Shiv Govind Rawat, Ajay Kumar, Dinesh Kumar, Pawan K. Dubey

“…Metabolomic studies indicated significantly elevated gluconeogenesis in GDM, evidenced by decreased levels of alanine and increased levels of pyruvate and glucose compared to controls. siRNA-mediated knockdown of SNW1 in PANC1 cells resulted in significant down-regulation of alanine aminotransferase (ALT/GPT) and insulin receptor substrate (IRS1), while glucose transporters (GLUT2/GLUT4) and insulin (INS) were significantly up-regulated at both mRNA and protein levels. This study identified SNW1 as a novel insulin-resistant gene that induces hyperglycemia by elevating gluconeogenesis and decreasing glucose uptake. …”
