Abstract
Elevated serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels are associated with the development of native coronary atherosclerosis. We aimed to establish a new method for the simultaneous detection of hs-CRP and Lp(a) to predict the development of atherosclerosis. A one-step time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) with europium(III) (Eu3+ ) or samarium(III) (Sm3+ ) labels was established, and the performance of this TRFIA (in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and cutoff values) was evaluated using clinical serum samples and compared with those of registered kits. The sensitivity was 0.052 μg/ml for hs-CRP and 0.64 μg/ml for Lp(a). The intra-assay and inter-assay cross-reactivities (CVs) were very low, ranging from 2.05% to 4.67% for hs-CRP and from 2.42% to 6.43% for Lp(a). The CVs were very low (<0.34% and <2.65%, respectively) with five interferents. Additionally, there was a high Pearson coefficient between the present TRFIA method and the registered kits (R2 = 0.9967 and 0.9906, respectively). These data indicate that this study developed a TRFIA method that can be used for the quantitative detection of hs-CRP and Lp(a) in serum with high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. This TRFIA provides a new method for predicting the development of atherosclerosis.

The Association of Serum hsCRP and Urinary Alpha1-Microglobulin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 2019:6364390. [PMID: 31281843 PMCID: PMC6590668 DOI: 10.1155/2019/6364390] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2019] [Accepted: 05/27/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the association of serum hsCRP and urinary A1MG in patients with T2DM. Numerous investigations have proven that serum hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) concentration in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increased. Also, increased urinary alpha-1 microglobulin (A1MG) can be an early sign of renal damage, primarily on the proximal tubules in T2DM. Little information is available with respect to the associations of serum hsCRP levels and urinary A1MG in T2DM. A total of 520 patients with T2DM were recruited to participate in this study. Serum hsCRP and UA1MG (urinary alpha1-microglobulin to creatinine ratio), UACR (urinary microalbumin to creatinine ratio), UIGG (urinary immunoglobulin G to creatinine ratio), and UTRF (urinary transferrin to creatinine ratio) were obtained. The association of serum hsCRP level and each urinary protein parameter was analyzed by using the regression analysis, respectively. LnhsCRP was positively associated with the lnUA1MG in all three linear regression models (adjusted β in model 3=0.122, SE=0.027, P<0.001). Furthermore, the high hsCRP group (hsCRP > 3mg/L) was associated with increasing risk of high UA1MG (adjusted OR in model 3=1.610, 95% CI 1.037-2.499, P=0.034) by logistic regression. This study suggests that serum hsCRP levels independently associate with UA1MG in patients with T2DM. Further research is warranted to elucidate these interactions.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of AMP-activated protein kinase α subunit (AMPKα), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and Fcγ receptor (FcγR) in diabetic nephropathy and drug intervention effects. Sixty Sprague Dawley male rats were randomly divided into the control (n=30) and observation (n=30) groups. The model of type 2 diabetic nephropathy was established by high-fat and high-glucose diet and streptozotocin injection. The rats in the observation group were treated with baicalein and the rats in control group did not receive any drug intervention. The pathological changes of kidneys were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The expression of AMPKα mRNA in renal tissue was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The levels of hs-CRP and FcγR were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 1, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after drug intervention and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and the 24 h urinary micro-albumin (U-ALB) levels were compared at 1, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after intervention. After 8 weeks of drug intervention, the pathological changes of kidneys in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p<0.05), while the relative expression levels of AMPKα mRNA and protein in the control group were higher than those in the observation group (p<0.05). The levels of hs-CRP, BUN and 24 h U-ALB in the control group were significantly higher than those in the observation group at different time-points after drug intervention and the level of FcγR in the control group was significantly lower than that in the observation group (p<0.05). Baicalein may protect renal function by inhibiting the expression of AMPKα and inflammatory reaction, and can also decrease BUN and 24 h U-ALB levels and improve the pathological changes of the kidney.

Single and combined effects of inflammatory markers on 10 year diabetes incidence: The mediating role of adiposity-Results from the ATTICA cohort study. Diabetes Metab Res Rev 2018; 34. [PMID: 28834086 DOI: 10.1002/dmrr.2939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2017] [Revised: 07/17/2017] [Accepted: 08/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of inflammation in diabetes development is not fully elucidated. The aim of this work was to investigate the independent effect of individual inflammatory markers and combinations of them on diabetes incidence and the potential mediating role of obesity. METHODS In 2001 to 2002, a random sample of 1514 men (18-87 years old) and 1528 women (18-89 years old) was selected to participate in the ATTICA study, where Athens is a major metropolis. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), tumour necrosis factor-alpha, serum amyloid alpha, fibrinogen, and homocysteine were measured. Covariates included various clinical, demographic, and lifestyle characteristics, assessed with standard procedures. In 2012, the 10 year follow-up was performed. Diabetes diagnosis was defined according to American Diabetes Association criteria among n = 1485 participants. RESULTS One hundred ninety-one incident cases of diabetes were documented, yielding an incidence of 12.9% (13.4% in men and 12.4% in women). After adjustments, only elevated IL-6 increased by 2.2 times the 10 year diabetes risk (third vs first tertile, 95% CI: 1.13, 4.28). After investigating combinations of inflammatory markers, combined elevated levels of CRP and IL-6 or CRP and fibrinogen (both markers ≥75th percentile vs <75th percentile) increased the risk by 1.93 times (95% CI: 1.20, 3.08) and 2.37 times (95% CI: 1.37, 4.16), respectively. Body mass index was found to significantly mediate the aggravating effect of inflammation. CONCLUSIONS The reported results underline the significant role of individual IL-6 or combinations of CRP-IL-6 and CRP-fibrinogen in diabetes prediction. Adiposity seems to be primarily responsible for an increase in inflammatory markers, leading through this mechanism to insulin resistance and increasing diabetes risk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examines the associations among serum β2 microglobulin (B2M), malnutrition, inflammation, and atherosclerosis (MIA) in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS CKD patients who were followed in Taoyuan General Hospital from 2009 to 2015 were enrolled. Demographic and biochemical data, including B2M and C-reactive protein (CRP) were reviewed. The participants were stratified according to B2M tertiles. Adjusted hazard ratios (AHRs) and cumulative survival curves for death and MIA syndrome were evaluated by Cox hazard model and Kaplan-Meier method. We also calculated the area under the curve for the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). RESULTS From a total of 312 CKD patients, mean follow-up time was 39.7 months. Compared to those with lowest tertile of B2M, the highest tertile group had lower serum albumin, hemoglobin, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. After multivariate adjustment, the associations among tertiles of B2M, death or dialysis, cardiovascular events (CVEs), and MIA syndrome remained significant. The AHRs for the highest tertile group in death or dialysis, CVEs, and MIA syndrome were 25.91 and 65.84 and 152.50(all Ps <0.05).The AUROC for B2M in death or dialysis, CVEs, and MIA syndrome were greater than that for creatinine. The best cut-off value of B2M for predicting death or dialysis, CVEs, and MIA syndrome were 5.39 mg/dL(sensitivity: 67.1%, specificity 62.5%), 4.21 mg/dL(sensitivity: 85.1%, specificity 52.1%), and 5.40 mg/dL(sensitivity: 79.7%, specificity 64.1%). CONCLUSIONS In those with CKD, serum B2M was more sensitive than creatinine in predicting CVEs and MIA syndrome.

Abstract
Aim. To identify the clinical and metabolic factors associated with serum concentration of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and α1-acid glycoprotein (α1-AGP) in patients with type 2 diabetes.Material and methods. The study involved 210 patients with type 2 diabetes. Levels of hsCRP and α1-AGP were measured using ELISA and compared with those of the control (30 healthy normal individuals). Levels of acute-phase proteins, fat mass and glucose variability (GV) were compared among demographic, anthropometric, biochemical and haematological parameters. The fat mass was determined with Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). GV parameters including mean amplitude of glycaemic excursions, continuous overlapping net glycaemic action (CONGA), J-index, M-value and mean absolute glucose change (MAG) were derived from continuous glucose monitoring.Results. Levels of hsCRP and α1-AGP significantly increased (p 0.0001) in patients with diabetes compared with controls. hsCRP level positively correlated with total, truncal and android fat (r = 0.34, r = 0.28 and r = 0.31; respectively, p 0.00004). α1-AGP level showed no relationship with fat mass but positively correlated with mean glucose, CONGA, M-value and MAG (r = 0.38, r = 0.36, r = 0.43 and r = 0.4; respectively, p 0.0001). Patients with the highest hsCRP levels (75 percentile) had a greater body mass index (p = 0.00009) as well as truncal and android fat mass (p = 0.04 and p = 0.03, respectively) than those with the lowest levels (25 percentile). High level of α1-AGP (75 percentile) was associated with urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (p = 0.01) and GV indices (M-value: p = 0.02, MAG: p = 0.04).Conclusions. Levels of acute-phase proteins (hsCRP and α1-AGP) increased in patients with type 2 diabetes. Levels of hsCRP were associated with fat mass; meanwhile, α1-AGP levels were associated with short-time GV in these patients. The results lend support to the notion that both obesity and enhanced GV are involved in the development of chronic low-grade inflammation associated with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Aims/Introduction Increased levels of high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP) likely leads to the development of atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is very important to know which factors largely influence hs‐CRP levels. In the present study, we examined the influence of various atherosclerosis‐related factors on hs‐CRP levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods A total of 275 patients (176 men, 99 women) were enrolled in this study. We tested the relationship between the number of risk factors reaching a desired value and hs‐CRP levels. The Mann–Whitney U‐test was used to compare two groups. The Kruskal–Wallis test was used to carry out overall group comparisons, and the Steel–Dwass test was used to carry out between‐group comparisons. Spearman's rank correlation was carried out to study the correlation between hs‐CRP levels and clinical parameters. Multivariate regression method was used to analyze the factors independently contributing to hs‐CRP levels. Results Hs‐CRP levels were lower in patients with a larger number of risk factors reaching a desired value. In particular, triglyceride and body mass index (BMI) were independent risk factors determining hs‐CRP levels in a multivariate regression analysis. Furthermore, we compared the influence of various factors on hs‐CRP levels in both obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) and non‐obese patients with type 2 diabetes (BMI <25 kg/m2). In obese groups, BMI and urinary albumin were independent risk factors determining hs‐CRP levels, whereas triglyceride and statin were independent risk factors in non‐obese patients. Conclusions There is some difference in the factors responsible for hs‐CRP levels in obese and non‐obese patients with type 2 diabetes.
