Abstract: Objective To investigate hepatic expression of interferon inducible protein -10 (IP-10) in patients with hepatitis B liver cirrhosis and hepatogenic diabetes mellitus. Methods The specimens of liver tissues from 70 patients with hepatitis B-induced liver cirrhosis and hepatogenic diabetes mellitus and another 70 patients with hepatitis B-induced liver cirrhosis were obtained by liver biopsies between March 2016 and May 2018,and serum IP-10 were assayed by ELISA,and hepatic IP-10 mRNA and its protein expression were detected by PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results Serum IP-10 level in patients with hepatitis B-induced liver cirrhosis and hepatogenic diabetes mellitus was (236.59±28.30) pg/mL,significantly higher than [(205.31±26.92) pg/mL,P<0.001] in patient with liver cirrhosis without hepatogenic diabetes mellitus; hepatic IP-10 mRNA was (0.59±0.91),significantly higher than [(0.21±0.66),P<0.05] in patients without diabetes mellitus;the immunohistochemical staining results showed that the hepatic IP-10 expression positive rate was 31.4%,significantly higher than(12.9%,x2=7.002,P<0.05) in patients without diabetes mellitus. Conclusion The expression of IP-10 in liver tissues and serum IP-10 levels in patients with hepatogenic diabetes mellitus with underlying hepatitis B liver cirrhosis is sig-nificantly increased,which might be involved in the pathogenesis of hepatogenic diabetes mellitus through inflammatory mechanism.
