Abstract:Objective: To observe the association of changes of peripheral blood short-chain non-coding RNA (miRNA)-372-3p and miR-27a with insulin resistance (IR) and neonatal outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: 102 patients with GDM in the hospital were included from June 2022 to April 2024, and 102 normal pregnant women were selected for control. The levels of miR-372-3p and miR-27a in peripheral blood of the enrolled patients were measured, and the patients were divided into normal outcome group and adverse outcome group according to the neonatal outcomes. The general data and detection information of patients were collected, and ROC curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of miR-372-3p, miR-27a and insulin resistance on neonatal adverse outcomes of pregnant women with GDM. Results: The peripheral blood miR-372-3p, miR-27a and IR index in GDM group were significantly higher than those in normal pregnant women group the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis indicated that the expression levels of miR-372-3p and miR-27a in GDM patients were positively correlated with IR index, and the correlations were statistically significant (r=0.518, 0.606, P<0.05). Linear regression analysis demonstrated that age, body mass index and expression levels of miR-372-3p and miR-27a were influencing factors for IR index in GDM pregnant women, and the associations were statistically significant (P<0.05). The expression levels of miR-372-3p and miR-27a and IR index of GDM pregnant women in neonatal adverse outcome group were higher than those in normal outcome group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). ROC curve showed that the AUCs of miR-372-3p, miR-27a and IR in predicting neonatal outcomes of GDM pregnant women were 0.740, 0.806 and 0.669 respectively. Conclusion: The increased expressions of miR-372-3p and miR-27a in peripheral blood of GDM patients promote the risk of IR, and have certain application value on evaluating neonatal outcomes.
