title: The analysis of expression of CCK and IP3 receptors in gallstones patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is correlated with gallbladder diseases. This study aimed to investigate the expression of CCK and IP3 receptors in patients with gallbladder stones and T2DM and its correlation with the hypomotility of the gallbladder.
  
  
  METHODS
  26 patients with gallstones and T2DM (Group 1) and 24 gallstones patients without T2DM (Group 2) were enrolled in this study. The emptying function of the gallbladder was measured by ultrasonography. The activity of CCK-R was analyzed by radioligand method and the IP3-R antibody was used to detect the IP3-R from patients in both groups.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Gallbladder ejection volume (EV) ((11.6±5.1) ml3 vs (21.5±7.8) ml3) and gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF2)(%)((17.2±11.3) ml3 vs (52.8±12.9) ml3) were significantly lower (P<0.01) in patients with gallstones and T2DM. The amount of CCK-R and the activity of CCK-R in Group 1 were significantly lower than that in Group 2 (P<0.01). And IP3-R in Group 1 was much lower than that in Group 2, as well (P<0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The expression of CCK-R and IP3-R in gallstones patients with T2DM was much lower in such patients, leading to impaired gallbladder emptying function and the formation of gallstones.
