Brief summary

This study focuses on identifying potentially predictive human circulating adipocyte and muscle biomarkers of diabetes remission after bariatric surgery in obese type 2 diabetic (T2D) subjects.

Detailed description

The study team at the Institute of Metabolic and Cardiovascular Diseases has recently identified several potential biomarkers (secreted by skeletal muscle and adipose tissue) of glucose homeostasis control using secretomic and metabolomic analyses. The goal of this study is to assess whether the addition of 9 adipocytes and myocytes plasma level could be associated with type 2 diabetes remission one year after bariatric surgery and would improve established clinical models of prediction of diabetes remission. Thus, obese type 2 diabetes patients undergoing bariatric surgery will have 2 blood samples, a muscle sample and one adipose tissue sample withdrawn during the study. From those samples, concentrations of 9 candidate proteins is measured : GDF6, INHBB, IL17B, TGFB2, TIMP1, VTN, MDK, GDF15, and apoM

Interventions

PROCEDUREblood samples

\- Research blood sample: 2 additional tubes compared to the classic sample for the analysis of the 9 research molecules.

PROCEDUREcollection of body tissues

removal of intra-abdominal fat and muscle tissue

PROCEDUREroutine care procedure

* Routine care blood sample: Full vitamin panel, CBC, liver panel, urea, creatinine, blood ionogram, blood calcium, phosphorus, magnesium at all visits, except the morning of surgery when only ß HCG (for women of childbearing age), HbA1c. * clinical examination : weight, height, waist measurement, cardiovascular examination, digestive system examination. * dosage of ß HCG for womens.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Correlation between plasma levels of 9 target molecules and diabetes remissionImmediately before the Surgery (day 0)The correlation between plasma levels of 9 target molecules (1 for each molecule) and diabetes remission will be evaluated through plasmatic dosages. The plasma determination of apolipoprotein M will be performed by mass spectrometry, and the 8 other molecules will be determined by the ELISA technique. The dosage is measured in mmol/l. Complete remission of T2DM will be defined according to the following criteria: HbA1c \< 5.7% and fasting blood glucose \< 5.6 mmol/l. Partial remission of T2DM will be defined as: HbA1c between 5.7 and 6.5% and fasting blood glucose between 5.6 and 6.9 mmol/l without any antidiabetic treatment. Finally, the absence of remission will include patients whose HbA1c is greater than or equal to 6.5% or fasting blood glucose greater than or equal to 7 mmol/l with one or more antidiabetic treatments.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Areas under the ROC curves of different logistic regression models fitted to known clinical prediction scores (DiaRem, Ad-DiaRem).At 3 months post-surgeryThe DiaRem and Ad-DiaRem scores are weighted scoring systems based on initial pre-surgical factors that were specifically created to predict remission of type 2 diabetes after bariatric surgery.
the kinetics of the plasma levels of each of the 9 molecules studiedImmediately before the Surgery (day 0)the kinetics of the plasma levels of each of the 9 molecules will be studied by measuring each factor on an empty stomach: the day of the operation in the digestive surgery department.
The expression level of genes encoding 9 biomarkers in the adipocyte and the muscle cellAt the day of the inclusionThe expression level of the genes encoding 9 biomarkers in the adipocyte and the muscle cell will be evaluated by measuring the mRNA quantities of the genes of these 9 proteins
