Circulating heat shock protein 27 as a novel marker of subclinical atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional community-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) has been proposed as a vital protective factor in atherosclerosis. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the association between circulating HSP27 and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in individuals with type 2 diabetes and to determine whether HSP27 represents an independent marker of subclinical atherosclerosis in this patient population.

Methods

We performed a cross-sectional community-based study in 186 Chinese subjects with a median duration of type 2 diabetes of 8.2 years who underwent ultrasound carotid IMT measurement. Serum HSP27 levels were assessed by ELISA.

Results

Serum HSP27 levels were significantly higher in the IMT (+, > 1.0 mm) group than in the IMT (-, ≤1.0 mm) group, with the median values of 8.80 ng/mL (5.62-12.25) and 6.93 ng/mL (4.23-9.60), respectively (P = 0.006). The discriminative value of HSP27 to evaluate IMT was 7.16 ng/mL and the area under the curve was 0.72 (95%CI = 0.64-0.80, P = 0.0065). Spearman's rank correlation analysis demonstrated that the concentrations of circulating HSP27 were positively associated with carotid IMT (r = 0.198, P = 0.007) and blood urea nitrogen (r = 0.170, P < 0.05). Furthermore, in the logistic model, serum HSP27 levels were found to be independent predictors for carotid IMT in type 2 diabetic patients after adjustment for onset age of diabetes, blood pressure, total cholesterol and C-reactive protein (OR = 1.085, P = 0.022).

Conclusions

Circulating HSP27, positively correlates with carotid IMT, is an independent predictor for early atherosclerotic changes in diabetes, and may represent a novel marker of subclinical atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes.

Project description:Emerging evidence highlighted that perirenal adipose tissue might regulate the cardiovascular and metabolism system through several pathways. This study aimed to assess the association between perirenal fat thickness (PrFT) and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis (SCCA) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 670 participants with complete data were included in this study. The trained reviewer collected demographic and anthropometric information. Laboratory assessments were determined by standard methods. PrFT and SCCA were evaluated by computed tomography and ultrasound. Binomial logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between PrFT and SCCA. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the identifying value of PrFT for SCCA. Overall, the prevalence of SCCA was 61.8% in T2DM. PrFT was significantly increased in the SCCA group. Growing trends were observed in the prevalence of hypertension, carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) > 1, plaque, and SCCA across the PrFT quartiles. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that PrFT was positively associated with cIMT (r = 0.401, p < 0.001). This correlation remained significant after adjustment for visceral fat area (VFA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA), and traditional metabolic risk factors (β = 0.184, p < 0.001). Meanwhile, PrFT was independently correlated with plaque, cIMT > 1 mm, and SCCA. The ORs (95% CI) were 1.072 (1.014-1.135), 1.319 (1.195-1.455), and 1.216 (1.119-1.322). Furthermore, PrFT remained correlated considerably with SCCA in subgroup analysis after stratification for age, sex, smoking, hypertension, and body mass index. From the ROC curve analysis, the AUCs (95% CI) of PrFT, VFA, and SFA identifying SCCA were 0.794 (0.760-0.828), 0.760 (0.724-0.796), and 0.697 (0.656-0.737), respectively. The AUC of PrFT was significantly higher than VFA (p = 0.028) and SFA (p < 0.001). The optimal cutoff values of PrFT were 14.0 mm, with a sensitivity of 66.7% and a specificity of 76.2%. PrFT was independently associated with cIMT, plaque, cIMT > 1 mm, and SCCA as a superior obesity-related marker of SCCA in T2DM. Clinical Trials.Gov, identifier ChiCTR2100052032.
