Abstract:

AIM: To detect the levels of Fusobacterium nucleatum in Uygurs of Xinjiang with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to analyze the correlation between Fusobacterium nucleatum level and type 2 diabetes mellitus.  METHODS: Blood and fecal samples were collected from Uygurs of Xinjiang with NGT or T2DM respectively. 16SrDNA quantitative real-time PCR technology was used to detect the levels of Fusobacterium nucleatum in fecal samples. The correlations between Fusobacterium nucleatum and BMI, TC, TG, HDL and LDL levels were analyzed by Pearson. RESULTS: (1) The levels of Fusobacterium nucleatum in Uygurs T2DM group were significantly higher than those in Uygurs NGT group (P=0.011). (2) Fusobacterium nucleatum was positively correlated with the levels of BMI (r=0.335, P=0.049), TC (r=0.472, P=0.011) and LDL (r=0.368, P=0.029). CONCLUSION: The levels of Fusobacterium nucleatum may be closely related to lipid metabolism of T2DM in Uygurs.

Key words: Fusobacterium nucleatum, type 2 diabetes mellitus, quantitative real-time PCR
