Abstract in Portuguese
Com o objetivo de verificar se as proteínas do sistema GH-IGF-IGFBP e o receptor do fator de crescimento insulina símile tipo I (IGF-IR) estão envolvidos na etiopatogenia do Diabetes Melito tipo 1 (DM1) , foram estudados 23 pacientes prépúberes portadores de DM1 em diferentes fases do diagnóstico (Grupo A: tempo de diagnóstico <= 6 meses; Grupo B: tempo de diagnóstico > 6 meses) e 10 indivíduos pré-púberes sadios como grupo controle (Grupo C). A expressão do mRNA do IGFIR realizada através do ensaio molecular de RT-PCR nos linfócitos periféricos T e B não demonstrou diferenças estatisticamente significantes nos linfócitos T quando comparados indivíduos diabéticos e controles, sugerindo que a ativação imunológica destas células seja independente da ação do IGF-IR. Observou-se uma maior expressão do mRNA do IGF-IR dos linfócitos B de pacientes diabéticos em relação ao grupo controle (p < 0,05). A avaliação das proteínas do sistema GH-IGF-IGFBP não demonstrou diferença estatística significante entre os grupos. Estes achados, associados à presença de auto-anticorpos para o DM1 (ICA, anti-GAD e anti-IA2) sugerem fortemente o papel do IGF-IR na ativação dos linfócitos B envolvidos na etiopatogenia do DM1

Abstract in English
Aiming to verify if GH-IGF-IGFBP proteins system and insulin-like growth factor type I receptor (IGF-IR) are implicated on pathofisiology of type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1), we studied 23 prepubertal patients with DM1 on different stages of diagnosis (Group A: time of diagnosis <= 6 months; Group B: time of diagnosis > 6 months) and 10 prepubertal healthy subjects as control group (Group C). The RT-PCR molecular assay for IGF-IR mRNA on peripheral T and B lymphocytes didn't show statistical differences between the groups when T cells were analyzed. We found an increase of IGF-IR mRNA expression on B cells from diabetic patients when compared to healthy subjects (p< 0,05). There were no differences in the GH-IGF-IGFBP proteins system levels between the groups. Our study suggest that IGF-IR in association with diabetes-related autoantibodies (ICA, anti-GAD and anti-IA2) presence could activate B cells involved on pathofisiology of DM1
