The Variation and Correlation of Serum Adiponectin, Nesfatin-1, IL-6, and TNF-α Levels in Prediabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The variation and correlation among adiponectin, nesfatin-1, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and interleukin 6 (IL-6), which may be involved in the development of the decline of health into prediabetes and diabetes, have not been elucidated. This study aims to investigate the roles of these cytokines in this process.

Methods

Seventy-two type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, 75 prediabetics, and 72 healthy individuals were enrolled in our case control study. Serum adiponectin, nesfatin-1, TNF-α, and IL-6 were tested with appropriate kits, and primary data were analyzed with correct methods.

Results

Serum levels of each cytokine in patients with prediabetes were between T2DM and the healthy, and significant differences were found among them. TNF-α and nesfatin-1 levels in T2DM were obviously different compared to prediabetes or the healthy; IL-6 and adiponectin levels in the healthy group were significantly changed in contrast to prediabetes or T2DM. Correlation analysis found that in prediabetics, adiponectin was positively correlated with TNF-α (R = 0.2939, P = 0.0105) and IL-6 (R = 0.3918, P = 0.0005), and their relationship was greatly strengthened in prediabetes accompanied by insulin resistance (TNF-α: R = 0.7732, P < 0.0001, IL-6: R = 0.6663, P = 0.0005). We also demonstrated that declined adiponectin (OR = 6.238, P = 0.019) and nesfatin-1 (OR = 2.812, P = 0.01) and elevated TNF-α (OR = 5.541, P = 0.001) were risk factors for prediabetes toward diabetes.

Conclusions

This research proved significant variations of adiponectin, nesfatin-1, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in the healthy, prediabetics, and T2DM, suggesting a slow and gradual change during the progression from a healthy condition toward diabetes via prediabetes.

Project description:Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease that mainly affects the axial and sacroiliac joints. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding cytokines have been associated with AS, which can interfere with the production of these cytokines and contribute to the development of AS. In order to contribute to a better understanding of the pathology of AS, our objective was to investigate a possible association of the IL10 -1082 A>G SNP (rs1800896) with AS and to evaluate the serum levels of TNF-α, IL-10, IL-17A, and IL-17F in AS patients and controls comparing them with their respective genotypes (TNF rs1800629, IL10 rs1800896, IL17A rs2275913, and IL17F rs763780). Patients and controls were selected from the Maringá University Hospital and the Maringá Rheumatism Clinic, in Paraná State, Southern Brazil, and they were diagnosed by the ASAS Criteria. In total, 149 patients and 169 controls were genotyped for the IL10 -1082 A>G polymorphism using a polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP); the measurement of TNF-α serum levels was performed through the immunofluorimetric test and IL-10, IL-17A, and IL-17F using an ELISA test. There was a high frequency of the IL10 -1082 G allele in AS patients compared with controls with an odds ratio of 1.83 and 95% confidence interval of 1.32 to 2.54, and a significant difference in the genotype frequencies of the IL10 -1082 A/G+G/G between patients and healthy controls, with an odds ratio of 3.01 and 95% confidence interval of 1.75 to 5.17. In addition, increased serum levels of IL-10 were observed in AS patients: 2.38 (IQR, 0.91) pg/ml compared with controls 1.72 (IQR 0.93) pg/ml (P = 0.01). Our results also showed an association between IL17F rs763780 C/T+T/T genotypes and increased serum levels of IL-17F in patients with AS and also in controls. We can conclude that patients with the A/G and G/G genotypes for -1082 A>G (rs1800896) in the IL10 gene are three times more likely to develop AS, that the serum level of IL-10 was higher in AS patients and that the IL17F rs763780 polymorphism can affect the levels of IL-17F in the serum of patients and controls in the same way.

Project description:The study explored the correlations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) gene polymorphisms with susceptibility and the condition of primary nephrotic syndrome. A total of 200 patients with primary nephrotic syndrome in Qilu hospital were collected as disease group, and 200 healthy people were selected as control group. Genomic deoxyribonucleic acids (DNAs) of nucleated cells in the peripheral blood were extracted to detect the gene polymorphisms of TNF-α (rs1799724 and rs1800629) and IL-10 (rs1800872 and rs141219090). Allele distributions at rs1799724 (P=0.003) and rs1800629 (P=0.011) of TNF-α gene and at rs1800872 (P=0.033) of IL-10 gene in disease group were different from those in control group. In the disease group, allele C frequency at rs1799724 and allele A frequency at rs1800629 of TNF-α gene and allele T frequency at rs1800872 of IL-10 gene were higher. There were differences between rs1799724 (P=0.007) and rs1800629 (P=0.002) of TNF-α gene. In addition, there was a difference in the frequency of the dominant model of TNF-α gene rs1800629 between disease group and control group (P=0.035), and the frequency of dominant model GG+GA was remarkably lower in the disease group. Additionally, TT genotype at rs1799724 of TNF-α gene was obviously related to the plasma TNF-α level (P<0.05), and the plasma TNF-α level was significantly increased in disease group. AA genotype at rs141219090 of IL-10 gene had a notable correlation with the plasma IL-10 level (P<0.05), and the plasma IL-10 level in disease group was markedly raised. Additionally, CT genotype at rs1799724 of TNF-α gene was related to the 24-h urine protein level (P=0.035), GG genotype at rs1800872 of IL-10 gene was associated with the plasma albumin level (P=0.031), and GG genotype at rs141219090 was related to the serum creatinine level (P=0.047). TNF-α and IL-10 gene polymorphisms are predominantly correlated with the susceptibility and the condition of primary nephrotic syndrome.

Project description:BackgroundSchizophrenia is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder. Growing evidence indicates that the activation of the inflammatory response system with interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia,. However, clinical data on cytokine levels in patients with schizophrenia treated with antipsychotics are inconsistent or inconclusive. In this study, we have examined inflammatory factors' alterations and their relationship to changes in clinical symptoms before and after olanzapine treatment of drug-naive patients with first-episode schizophrenia.MethodsWe recruited 142 hospitalized patients with first-episode schizophrenia as a study group; blood samples were collected, and the patients were assessed for clinical symptoms at baseline and after 6 weeks of olanzapine treatment. One hundred individuals with no history of mental illness were also recruited as healthy controls. Blood samples were collected, and the serum levels of IL-2, IL-4, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α were determined using an enzyme cycling assay. The severity of clinical symptoms was assessed according to the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).ResultsIndividuals with schizophrenia had lower IL-8 levels and higher IL-10 levels than healthy controls (P < 0.001). Positive correlations were detected between serum IL-2 and IL-10 concentrations and each subscale of the PANSS (all P < 0.05). Moreover, a negative correlation existed between the serum IL-8 concentration and the PANSS negative score (r = - 0.172, P = 0.040). After 6 weeks of treatment, serum IL-8 levels in the patient group were lower than at baseline (P < 0.001), whereas serum IL-10 and TNF-α levels were higher than at baseline (all P < 0.05). Therefore, serum IL-10 can be determined as an independent risk factor for outcome in patients with first-episode schizophrenia (P = 0.02, OR = 2.327). Furthermore, serum IL-2, IL-10, and TNF-α levels were significantly lower, whereas the serum IL-8 level was significantly higher (P < 0.001) in the healthy control group than in the "response" and "no-response" treatment groups respectively.ConclusionsOur results indicate that serum IL-2, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α levels may be involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms of schizophrenia and correlate with the effects of olanzapine.

Project description:Helminth infections and allergies are characterized by a predominant type-2 immune response. In schistosomiasis, the Th-2 response is usually accompanied by induction of immunoregulatory mechanisms that contribute to worm survival and less severe schistosomiasis. Although helminth-induced immunomodulatory mechanisms seem to affect atopy, epidemiological studies on the relationship between helminths and allergy have been inconsistent, and data suggest that the modulatory effects may be influenced by helminth species, chronicity of infection, and parasite burden. Here we performed a cross-sectional study to investigate the effects of Schistosoma mansoni parasite burden and immune response on allergic reactivity of individuals living in a schistosomiasis endemic area in Brazil. Fecal samples from the participants were collected for extensive parasitological examinations by spontaneous sedimentation, Kato-Katz, Helmintex and Saline Gradient tests and molecular detection of S. mansoni by qPCR. Additionally, the concentrations of cytokines and chemokines, total IgE and IgE-reactivity to common house dust allergens were quantified from serum samples. IgE reactivity to dust allergens was detected in 47 individuals (23.8%), and 140 individuals (54.4%) were diagnosed with S. mansoni infection. Most of the infected population (108 individuals) presented very low parasite burden (≤12 eggs/g of feces). The frequency and intensity (p ≤ 0.03) of allergic reactivity were lower in S. mansoni-infected compared with non-infected individuals. Multivariable logistic regression models adjusted by age revealed that allergic reactivity was positively associated with low IL-10 response (OR, 4.55, 95% CI, 0.56-7.36) and high concentration of the inflammatory mediators IL-33 (OR, 2.70, 95% CI, 1.02-7.15) or TNF-α (OR, 6.88, 95% CI, 0.32-143.39) in serum, and inversely associated with S. mansoni infection (OR, 0.38, 95% CI, 0.16-0.87). Most importantly, the logistic regression demonstrated that the modulatory effects of Schistosoma infection depend on parasite burden, with individuals infected with ≤12 eggs/g of feces showing allergic IgE-reactivity similar to non-infected individuals Altogether, our data show that immunomodulation of allergic reactivity depends on S. mansoni burden, low type-2 inflammatory response, and high level of IL-10.
