Synonyms and keywords: New-onset Diabetes in COVID-19 Islet cell injury by SARS-CoV 2
Overview
Historical Perspective
- Diabetes mellitus is defined by insulin deficiency due to either diminished insulin release or end-organ insulin resistance.[1]
- Diabetes is an umbrella term for conditions such as type I (T1DM) and type II (T2DM) diabetes mellitus, gestational diabetes, and maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY).[1]
- Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is caused by pancreatic β-cell failure or auto-immune destruction of the pancreatic β-cells. It generally presents in children and young adults.[1]
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is defined by insulin resistance and presents in adults. Family history, hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia play a significant role in causing T2DM.[1]
- Around 422 million individuals worldwide have diabetes, the dominant part living in low-and middle-income nations, and 1.6 million deaths are straightforwardly credited to diabetes every year. In the course of recent decades, a consistent rise has been observed in both the incidence and the prevalence.[2]
- In China, in the year 2008, a study was done in which they compared 39 SARS-CoV patients with no previous history of diabetes, who never used steroids, with 39 matched healthy siblings.The results of the study revealed that 20 out of 39 SARS-CoV patients developed new-onset diabetes during the hospital stay. After 3 years of recovery from the SARS-CoV infection, only 5% of patients remained diabetic whereas blood sugar levels normalized in the rest of the patients with the infection recovery.[3]
- ACE2 is the primary receptor For SARS-CoV spike protein. SARS-CoV causes infection by binding to ACE2 receptors on the target cells.[4][5] The study suggested, SARS-CoV may damage islets and cause acute insulin dependent diabetes mellitus.[3]
Classification
- There is no established system for the classification of COVID-19-associated Diabetes.
- Future research is needed to provide a better understanding of the type of Diabetes, SARS-CoV-2 can cause. Whether SARS-CoV causes T1DM or T2DM or a new type of Diabetes.
Pathophysiology
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors expressed in the tissues that are highly involved in body metabolism. These tissues comprise of pancreatic beta cells, adipose tissue, small intestine, and the kidneys. ACE2 receptors in the endocrine pancreas serve the entrance for Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV 2), which causes Corononavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). [6]
- Expression of ACE2 receptors and effector protease TMPRSS2 in pancreas are associated with SARS-CoV 2 infection.[7]
- The pancreas consists of nine different cell types such as acinar cells, ductal cells, beta cells, alpha cells, mesenchymal cells, and endothelial cells. These pancreatic cells express both ACE2 and TMPRSS2. The expression of ACE2 in pancreatic alpha and beta cells is further proved by immunohistochemistry. Both beta cells that secrete insulin and alpha cells that secrete glucagon, stained positive for SARS-CoV 2 Spike protein and thus, it is postulated that SARS-CoV-2 can infect pancreatic islet cells.[7]
- A recent experiement was conducted to study SARS-CoV-2 tropism that is the cellular response to an external stimulus in human cells and organoids. Researchers infect human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC)-derived pancreatic endocrine cells with SARS-CoV-2.[8]
- Researchers found when SARS-CoV-2 infect pancreatic cells, it downregulates the pathways including calcium signaling pathways, glucagon signaling pathways of alpha cells, and metabolic pathways that assist in insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells.[8]
- Researchers further stained SARS-CoV-2 infected hPSC-derived pancreatic endocrine cells with a cell apoptotic marker (CASP3). As a result of this staining, they found a large number of CASP3 cells in infected hPSC-derived pancreatic cells. This indicates that change in metabolic pathways of the pancreas is mainly due to cell apoptosis, trigger by SARS-CoV-2. This experiment suggest that when SARS-CoV-2 binds to ACE2 in pancreas, this will upregulate the genes responsible for apoptosis and downregulate the genes responsible for the cell survival. [8]
- ACE2 is the target receptor for both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Researchers in China observed new-onset diabetes among SARS-CoV patients. Therefore in agreement with this, the SARS-CoV-2 might enter pancreatic islets through binding to ACE2, and cause acute β-cell injury, leading to intense hyperglycemia and transient Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.[3]
- ACE2 serves as the negative regulator of the Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) mainly by converting Ang (angiotensin) I and Ang II into Ang 1-9 and Ang 1-7, respectively.[9][10] When SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 bind to ACE2 receptors, this will lead to the subsequent downregulation of surface ACE2 expression.[5][11][12] SARS-CoV-2 differs from SARS-CoV by 380 amino acid substitutions and thus has a stronger binding affinity than SARS-CoV, which explains the global impact of SARS-CoV-2 than the previous SARS-CoV outbreak.[13][14]
- ACE2 is the negative regulator of the Renin-Angiotensin system (RAS) and has protective benefits against many diseases and complications. SARS-CoV-2 binds to ACE2 receptors, this blocks all the protective benefits of the ACE2 pathway and shifts the cascade back to ACE/Ang II/AT1R-pathway, increasing Ang II, decreasing ACE2 and Ang-( 1-7)[15][16] as shown in the figure.
- Inhibition of RAS(Angiotensin→Ang1→Ang2→AT1R) protects pancreatic β-cells from oxidative stress-related tissue damage, therefore improves insulin synthesis and secretion.[17]Hyperactivity of RAS works in contrast. In adipose tissue, Ras decreases insulin sensitivity, decreases glucose uptake. In pancreatic tissue, it decreases insulin secretion, increases islet oxidative stress and fibrosis, decrease perfusion.[18]
- In an experimental trial, pressor doses of Ang-II were given to healthy human subjects. As a result, researchers observed suppression of basal, pulsatile, and glucose-stimulated insulin release.[19]This loss of insulin release is supposed to be the contributing factor in the development of T2DM.[20]
- SARS-CoV 2 can cause hyperglycemia by direct injuring of pancreatic beta cells[3] and by downregulating ACE2 receptors leading to unopposed angiotensin II, which may hinder insulin secretion.[21]
Causes
1- Direst damage of pancreatic beta-cells by SARS-CoV 2 [3]
2- Downregulation of ACE2 by SARS-CoV 2 shift the cascade to the ACE/AngII/AT1R pathway which further leads to decrease insulin release and islet cell oxidative damage.[21]
