GDM Biomarker Development Service

GDM Biomarker Development Service

Earlier detection of GDM may possibly prevent pregnancy complications. Thus, the identification of sensitive and specific biomarkers is important, which may offer potential for risk prediction and intervention strategies. Ace Therapeutics can provide researchers engaged in biomarkers development of GDM with more efficient function analysis and overall therapy services.

About GDM Biomarkers

The research on screening biomarkers in the early stage of GDM has gradually is important, involving markers related to the etiology and pathophysiology of GDM, metabolomics markers, etc. Routine GDM biomarkers (plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, and sex hormone-binding globulin) can differentiate between healthy pregnant women and those with GDM.

Type of GDM Biomarkers

  • Anti-insulin Hormones
    There are some hormones with insulin-sensitizing properties which can be biomarkers of GDM, such as oxytocin, irisin, placental lactogen, FGF21.

  • Adipokine and Inflammatory Biomarkers
    The C-reactive protein (CRP), the highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleu-kin-6 (IL-6) are the main inflammatory cytokines increased in insulin resistance and GDM. Adipokine related to GDM mainly include leptin, adiponectin, visfatin, resistin, etc.

  • Other GDM Biomarkers
    Metabolites, microRNA or other biomolecules for GDM to complement traditional biomarkers.
Novel Biomarkers Description
Afamin Afamin is a vitamin E-binding protein found in human plasma, which plays a role in the antiapoptotic cellular processes associated with oxidative stress.
ANGPTL8 Angiopoietin-like protein 8 is involved in lipid and glucose homeostasis, and its concentrations were found to be higher under conditions of GDM than normal pregnancy.
Galanin Galanin is a neuropeptide that reduces insulin resistance and improves glucose uptake.
VAP-1 Vascular adhesion protein 1 (VAP-1) is a glycoprotein that plays a role in inflammation and oxidative stress.
FABP4 Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP-4) is a protein highly expressed in adipocytes.
Fetuin-A or AHSG It is a glycoprotein that is produced by the liver and adipose tissue, and can be secreted by the placenta during pregnancy.
EVs Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small vesicles released into the extracellular space with the ability to reach the blood circulation.
Maternal microbiota The microbiome also participate in the pathogenesis of several metabolic disorders, the composition of the maternal oral or gut microbiota could be a biomarker for GDM.
