Abstract
Cystatin C has been linked to inflammation in other diseases, such as epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. These studies were designed to investigate whether Cystatin C regulates retinal inflammation and permeability. To address this question, we used Cystatin C knockout mice in a retinal ischemia/reperfusion model to determine whether Cystatin C regulated retinal damage, as well as inflammatory mediators and retinal permeability. To support the mouse work, we also used primary retinal endothelial cells cultured in normal and high glucose. Ischemia/reperfusion in Cystatin C knockout mice caused increased formation of degenerate capillaries. Loss of Cystatin C increased fluorescein leakage in the retina, which was accompanied by reduced levels of zonula occludin 1 (ZO-1) and occludin proteins. When REC were grown in high glucose, recombinant Cystatin C decreased retinal permeability, while Cystatin C siRNA increased dextran flux compared to high glucose alone. Recombinant Cystatin C decreased levels of interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) levels. In conclusion, loss of Cystatin C increased vascular damage in response to ischemia/reperfusion. Cystatin C regulated permeability and inflammatory mediators in the retina in response to stressors. Cystatin C offers a new target for retinal disease therapeutic development.

Serum Cystatin-C is linked to increased prevalence of diabetes and higher risk of mortality in diverse middle-aged and older adults. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0270289. [PMID: 36094936 PMCID: PMC9467319 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0270289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (henceforth diabetes) affects roughly 35 million individuals in the US and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and kidney disease. Serum Cystatin-C is used to monitor renal function and detect kidney damage. Recent research has focused on linking Cystatin-C to cardiovascular risk and disease, but most findings focus on small sample sizes and generalize poorly to diverse populations, thus limiting epidemiological inferences. The aim of this manuscript is to study the association between Cystatin-C, diabetes, and mortality and test for possible sex or racial/ethnic background modifications in these relationships. Methods We analyzed 8-years of biennial panel data from Health and Retirement Study participants 50-years and older who self-identified as White (unweighted N (uN) = 5,595), Black (uN = 867), or Latino (uN = 565) for a total of uN = 7,027 individuals. We modeled diabetes and death over 8-years as function of baseline Cystatin-C (log transformed) adjusting for covariates and tested modifications in associations by race/ethnic background and sex. Results Mean log Cystatin-C at visit 1 was 0.03±0.32 standard deviation. A 10% increase in Cystatin-C levels was associated with 13% increased relative risk of diabetes at baseline (11% and 9% by years 4 and 8). A 10% increase in Cystatin-C was highly associated with increased relative risk of death (28% and 31% by years 4 and 8). These associations were present even after adjusting for possible confounders and were not modified by sex or racial/ethnic background. Conclusion Despite differential risks for diabetes and mortality by racial/ethnic groups, Cystatin-C was equally predictive of these outcomes across groups. Cystatin-C dysregulations could be used as a risk indicator for diabetes and as a warning sign for accelerated risk of mortality.

Endocr Connect 2022; 11:e210597. [PMID: 35179515 PMCID: PMC8942323 DOI: 10.1530/ec-21-0597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased serum cystatin C (CysC) can predict the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Meanwhile, impaired pancreatic α- and β-cell functions get involved in the pathophysiological processes of T2D. So this study was to explore the relationships between serum CysC levels and pancreatic α- and β-cell functions in T2D. METHODS In this cross-sectional observational study, a total of 2634 patients with T2D were consecutively recruited. Each recruited patient received a serum CysC test and oral glucose tolerance test for synchronous detection of serum C-peptide and plasma glucagon. As components of pancreatic β-cell function, insulin secretion and sensitivity indices were evaluated by C-peptide area under the curve (AUC-CP) and C-peptide-substituted Matsuda's index (Matsuda-CP), respectively. Fasting glucagon (F-GLA) and post-challenge glucagon calculated by glucagon area under the curve (AUC-GLA) were used to assess pancreatic α-cell function. These skewed indices and were further natural log-transformed (ln). RESULTS With quartiles of serum CysC levels ascending, AUC-CP, F-GLA and AUC-GLA were increased, while Matsuda-CP was decreased (P for trend <0.001). Moreover, serum CysC levels were positively related to lnAUC-CP, lnF-GLA and lnAUC-GLA (r= 0.241, 0.131 and 0.208, respectively, P < 0.001), and inversely related to lnMatsuda-CP (r= -0.195, P < 0.001). Furthermore, after controlling for other relevant variables via multivariable linear regression analysis, serum CysC levels were identified to account for lnAUC-CP (β= 0.178, t= 10.518, P < 0.001), lnMatsuda-CP (β= -0.137, t= -7.118, P < 0.001), lnF-GLA (β= 0.049, t= 2.263, P = 0.024) and lnAUC-GLA (β= 0.121, t= 5.730, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Increased serum CysC levels may be partly responsible for increased insulin secretion from β-cells, decreased systemic insulin sensitivity, and elevated fasting and postprandial glucagon secretion from α-cells in T2D.

Abstract
As a marker for glomerular filtration, plasma cystatin C level is used to evaluate kidney function. To decipher genetic factors that control the plasma cystatin C level, we performed genome-wide association and pathway association studies using United Kingdom Biobank data. One hundred fifteen loci yielded p values less than 1 × 10−100, three genes (clusters) showed the most significant associations, including the CST8-CST9 cluster on chromosome 20, the SH2B3-ATXN2 gene region on chromosome 12, and the SHROOM3-CCDC158 gene region on chromosome 4. In pathway association studies, forty significant pathways had FDR (false discovery rate) and or FWER (family-wise error rate) ≤ 0.001: spermatogenesis, leukocyte trans-endothelial migration, cell adhesion, glycoprotein, membrane lipid, steroid metabolic process, and insulin signaling pathways were among the most significant pathways that associated with the plasma cystatin C levels. We also performed Genome-wide association studies for eGFR, top associated genes were largely overlapped with those for cystatin C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cystatin C is a marker of renal function and risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Patients with acute myocardial infarction showed a significant decrease in cystatin C levels. It is unknown whether reduced serum cystatin C levels are connected to acute events or represent a negative acute phase response. The current study aimed to assess the association between cystatin C and the existence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), an acute event in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS Cystatin C was measured in the control group (N.=322) and in T1DM patients with (N.=161) and without DKA (N.=146). Data were compared according to diabetes and ketoacidosis status. Correlation analysis was used to identify factors associated with cystatin C levels. A multiple stepwise regression analysis was used to determine which of the parameters that were significantly correlated with cystatin C in univariate analysis were independently related to cystatin C. Then, we assessed the independent association between cystatin C and the occurrence of DKA in T1DM patients. RESULTS Serum cystatin C levels were lower in patients with DKA than in patients without DKA. After adjustment for age, sex, fasting plasma glucose and creatinine, cystatin C was positively correlated with the duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure (SBP), total cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P=0.004, P=0.022, P=0.013, P=0.035, P=0.006, P=0.012, respectively) and negatively correlated with hemoglobin (P<0.001). The duration of diabetes (P<0.001), total cholesterol (P=0.002), hemoglobin (P<0.001), SBP (P=0.011) and serum creatinine (P<0.001) were independently associated with cystatin C. Furthermore, we found that cystatin C was independently associated with the occurrence of DKA in T1DM patients (OR=0.004, 95% CI: 0.000-0.079, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Cystatin C was decreased in T1DM patients with DKA and was found to be an independent predictor of the occurrence of DKA in T1DM patients. The reduction in cystatin C levels might be significantly connected with acute events.

Abstract
Cystatin C (CysC) is a marker for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). CysC levels may depend not only on clearance/GFR but possibly also on changes in production. Our studies on tissue distribution of CysC protein in mice showed that adipose tissue expresses significant amounts of CysC, suggesting that adipocytes could contribute to circulating CysC levels in vivo. As growth hormone (GH) and triiodothyronine (T3) increase both GFR and CysC (increased in acromegaly and hyperthyroidism) in vivo, we studied whether they could increase CysC production in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in vitro. CysC accumulated in culture media of 3T3-L1 adipocytes in a time-dependent fashion. GH and T3 both (10 nmol/l) increased accumulation of CysC, to 373 ± 14 and 422 ± 20, respectively, vs 298 ± 10 ng per well over 4 days in controls. Thus, GH and T3 enhance the production of CysC by adipocytes in vitro.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are accompanied by a high prevalence of hyposalivation (decreased salivary secretion), resulting in oral tissue damage. However, the molecular basis for the hyposalivation is yet unknown. Identifying genes and proteins that account for diabetes-related hyposalivation will help understanding the basis for this condition and identifying disease biomarkers in saliva. MATERIALS AND METHODS We integrated genomic data from 110 high-throughput studies with computational modeling, to explore the relationship between diabetes and salivary glands on a genomic scale. RESULTS A significant overlap exists between genes that are altered in both types of diabetes and genes that are expressed in salivary glands; 87 type 1 diabetes and 34 type 2 diabetes associated genes are also common to salivary glands. However, the overlap between these genes is not significant. CONCLUSIONS Type 1 and type 2 diabetes associated genes are involved in the salivary secretion process, but mostly at different parts of it. This suggests that type 1 and type 2 diabetes impair salivary secretion by affecting different processes in the salivary tissue. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The genomic characteristics of Type 1 and type 2 diabetes may explain differences in salivary gland tissues morphology and saliva composition in people with diabetes, and suggest candidate proteins for diabetes salivary biomarkers.

Abstract
Aims Serum cystatin C (CysC) has recently been shown to be associated with the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and progression to the pre-diabetic state. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between serum CysC and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Chinese pregnant women. Methods This cross-sectional study consisted of 400 pregnant women including111 with GDM and 289 with normal glucose tolerance at 24–28 weeks of gestation. The subjects were further divided into four groups according to the CysC quartiles, and their clinical characteristics were compared. The serum CysC concentration was measured using immunoturbidimetry and the degree of insulin resistance was assessed by the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Results Serum CysC levels were significantly higher in pregnant women with GDM than in the healthy pregnant women[1.0(0.8–1.8) vs 0.7(0.6–1.0), P<0.01). The Spearman’s correlation analysis showed that serum CysC was positively associated with HOMA-IR(r = 0.118, P<0.05) and the occurrence of GDM(r = 0.348, P<0.01). The pregnant women were divided into quartiles according to their serum CysC concentrations. Compared to the first quartile, pregnant women in Q2 (OR, 2.441; P = 0.025), Q3 (OR, 3.383; P = 0.001) and Q4 (OR, 5.516; P<0.001) had higher risk of GDM after adjusted for age, BMI, HbA1c and HOMA-IR. Further, with a rise in the serum CysC, there was an increasing trend in the HOMA-IR levels (P<0.05). A binary logistic regression analysis after adjusting for other confounding variables revealed a significant and independent association between serum CysC and GDM [OR = 14.269; 95% confidence interval, 4.977–40.908, P<0.01].The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the optimal cutoff point for serum CysC to indicate GDM was 0.95mg/L. Conclusions Serum CysC is significantly and independently associated with insulin resistance and GDM. It may be a helpful biomarker to identify the risk of GDM in Chinese pregnant women.
