This study evaluated the inflammatory markers in prediabetes and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Inflammatory markers levels were analyzed using one-way analysis of covariance and the association with prediabetes or T2DM risks was examined by logistic regression models. Our data showed increased levels of hypersensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin (IL-4), IL-10, and tryptase in prediabetes subjects and hs-CRP, immunoglobulin E (IgE), IL-4, and IL-10 in T2DM subjects. We concluded that Hs-CRP, IgE, IL-4, IL-10, and tryptase were positively associated with prediabetes or T2DM. Further large prospective studies are warranted to assess a temporal relation between inflammatory biomarkers and incidence of prediabetes or T2DM and its associated chronic diseases.

It has been suggested that Type 2 diabetes may, in part, be precipitated or accelerated by an acute-phase reaction as part of the innate immune response, in which large amounts of cytokines are released from adipose tissue, creating a low-grade inflammatory milieu. There is also firm evidence that atherosclerosis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease. Therefore it is reasonable to imply that low-grade inflammation is an important pathogenetic factor in atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Over the last few years, there have been a lot of promising clinical markers proposed to link inflammation and atherosclerosis. Of these markers, hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) might be a prognostic marker for further cardiovascular events, although this has been refuted recently. In this issue of Clinical Science, Castoldi and co-workers have demonstrated that, in patients with Type 2 diabetes categorized into low (<1.0 mg/l), medium (1.0–3.0 mg/l) and high (>3.0 mg/l) hs-CRP groups, serum levels of hs-CRP correlated with lipopolysaccharide-stimulated release of interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 in whole blood. This finding may indicate that low-grade inflammatory activity might influence cytokine production in these patients.

Type 2 Diabetic

Type-2 diabetes may remain in subclinical form for years before diagnosis. This quiescence of type-2 diabetes is a great concern for health care providers. The earliest change of the type-2 diabetes is the insulin resistance, which is associated with the increased macrovascular risk due to induction of chronic inflammation in the vessels of the body which leads to atherosclerotic change in the vessels. High sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is the measure of C-reactive protein with greater accuracy and the lower limit of its assay is .01 mg/L which is more than 100 times as sensitive as the usual CRP measurement (lower limit 5 mg/L). The median level of hs-CRP from blood samples of apparent healthy subjects is 0.8 mg/L. For this, physician uses the hs-CRP parameter as a marker of chronic inflammation in apparently normal healthy individuals, specially for the assessment of atherosclerosis, which is a chronic inflammatory procedure from the very beginning, in type-2 diabetic, obese and hypertensive patients. This vascular atherosclerosis assessment help them to calculate the cardiovascular as well as cerebrovascular risk of those patients. To help the type-2 diabetic patients from the very begining in respect of the prognostic view of the macrovascular risk, estimations of serum hs-CRP in the early stage of these patient may be a enthusiastic one. This descriptive study was carried out by choosing 70 diabetic patient who had no other comorbidity or any complications of diabetes and 35 healthy subjects who were neither diabetic nor had any diseases. Both the groups were non-smoker and non-alcoholic and non-hypertensive, hs-CRP level was measured in both the groups along with the HbA1c%. The mean hs-CRP in diabetic group was 1.13 mg/L and in normal healthy subjects was 0.39 mg/L. This higher level of mean hs-CRP (1.13 mg/L) in diabetic patients is statisticaly significant (P<0.01) compared with that of the normal healthy subjects mean hs-CRP (0.39 mg/L). This mean level of hs-CRP in normal healthy subjects was below the lower level of cardiovascular risk (1 mg/L).

Summary Background: Previous studies have indicated that high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a risk factor for the peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate the possible predictive significance of hs-CRP for the development and progression of PAD in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: The study included 80 patients previously diagnosed with T2D, aged 45–70 years, divided into group A (T2D patients with PAD; n=38) and group B (T2D patients without PAD; n=42). After five years, all the patients were re-examined and divided into subgroups depending on de novo development of PAD or progression of previously diagnosed PAD. Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) measurement was used for PAD diagnosis and hs-CRP was determined by nephelometry. Results: We found significantly higher hs-CRP levels in group A compared to group B, but only at baseline. Among the patients in group A, those with later progression of PAD (subgroup A1) had the highest levels of hs-CRP at baseline, although not significantly different from those in subgroup A2 (non-progressors). In contrast, hs-CRP level was significantly higher in subgroup B1 (progressors) in comparison to subgroup B2 (non-progressors) at both the first and second exam. Of all the investigated metabolic parameters, hs-CRP was the only independent predictor of PAD progression (OR=0.456, 95% CI=0.267–0.7815, p=0.004). The cut-off point for hs-CRP was 2.5 mg/L (specificity 75% and sensitivity 73.3%) with the relative risk for PAD of 2.93 (95% CI=1.351–6.3629). Conclusions: Our study implies that hs-CRP can be used as a reliable predictor for the progression of PAD in patients with T2D.

Abstract Aims/hypothesis We aimed to determine the association of depression with dementia risk in people with type 2 diabetes, and to explore the possible mediating role of inflammation in this relationship. Methods The Edinburgh Type 2 Diabetes Study is a prospective cohort of 1066 men and women with type 2 diabetes aged 60–75 years. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to investigate the association between depression, assessed at baseline, and subsequent risk of dementia over 10 years. Depression was defined using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, while incident dementia was defined using medical records, prescription data and death certificates. The potential mediating effect of systemic inflammation was assessed by adjusting models for a generalised inflammation factor, derived from four inflammatory markers measured at baseline (C-reactive protein, IL-6, TNF-α and fibrinogen), and carrying out an exploratory mediation analysis. Results Dementia developed in 105 participants over a median follow-up of 10.6 years. After adjusting for age and sex, depression was associated with over a 2.5-fold increase in risk of dementia (HR 2.59 [95% CI 1.62, 4.15]). Additional adjustment for the generalised inflammation factor and other covariates did not attenuate the size of association between depression and incident dementia and mediation analysis showed that it was not a mediator. Adjusted logistic regression models showed cross-sectional associations of C-reactive protein and IL-6 with depression. Conclusions/interpretation Depression is an important risk factor for dementia in people with type 2 diabetes. Some inflammatory markers were associated with depression, but systemic inflammation does not appear to mediate the relationship between depression and dementia.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and high blood pressure (HBP) may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease, and inflammation may be an important factor in these diseases. In the present study, plasma levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were measured in subjects with DM2 and/or HBP and compared to those of normal subjects. Eighty-nine subjects were analyzed for hs-CRP, including 13 normotensive patients with DM2, 17 patients with HBP, 34 hypertensive patients with DM2 (DM2+HBP) and 25 normal subjects. The plasma hs-CRP levels were significantly lower in the controls than in the HBP+DM2 group (p < 0.05). DM2 associated with HBP was also correlated with increased plasma hs-CRP levels (n = 89, r = 0.25, p = 0.0162). Only hypertensive patients with DM2 had higher levels of hs-CRP, a circulating inflammatory marker, than normal subjects. This finding suggests that patients with two associated diseases have a more active inflammatory state.

Purpose: Patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) have increased risk of depression and anxiety. Evidence suggests that a heightened inflammatory state may contribute to this association. Females experience more depression and higher inflammation levels than males. This study compared associations of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels with symptoms of depression and anxiety between men and women with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Method: Cross-sectional data including demographic and disease characteristics, symptoms of depression and anxiety, clinical data, and laboratory values were collected from 392 patients with T2DM recruited from a general hospital in Shandong Province, China. We evaluated associations between serum hs-CRP level and symptoms of depression and anxiety in males and females separately using multiple linear regressions and χ2 tests for trend. Results: Sex moderated the association between serum hs-CRP level and symptoms of depression ( B = .112 [ SE = 0.049]; p = .022) and anxiety ( B = .137 [ SE = 0.053]; p = .011). Among females, hs-CRP level was positively associated with depression ( B = .034, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [.006, .061]; p = .016, false discovery rate [FDR]-adjusted p = .020) and anxiety ( B = .041, 95% CI [.011, .071], p = .007, FDR-adjusted p = .007). Positive trends indicated a higher prevalence of clinically significant symptoms of depression and anxiety in higher serum hs-CRP categories in females. No associations were found in males. Conclusion: Findings demonstrate that associations between serum hs-CRP level and symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with T2D are sex-specific, with only females demonstrating a significant positive association.
