Background: Adipose tissue produces pro-inflammatory mediators involved in the atherosclerotic process. We investigated whether 12-month exercise training in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease would reduce circulating levels and genetic expression of mediators in the interleukin-18, Caspase-1 and NLR pyrin domain containing 3 pathways. Correlations to glucometabolic variables; fasting glucose, HbA1c, duration of diabetes, insulin, C-peptide, insulin resistance (measured by homeostatic model assessment indexes – insulin resistance) and body mass index at baseline were further assessed. Methods: 137 patients (aged 41–81 years, 17.2% female participants) were included and randomized to a 12-month exercise programme or to a control group. Fasting blood and adipose tissue samples were taken at inclusion and after 12 months. Results: No statistically significant difference in changes of any variable between the intervention and the control group was found. At baseline, a positive correlation between insulin and homeostatic model assessment indexes – insulin resistance, interleukin-18 expression in adipose tissue and an inverse correlation between some glucometabolic variables and leukocyte expression of NLR pyrin domain containing 3 and Caspase-1 were observed. Conclusion: No significant effects of long-term exercise training were observed on the inflammasome-related mediators in our patients with combined coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The observed correlations may indicate a pro-inflammatory state in adipose tissue by overweight and a compensatory downregulation of these mediators in circulating leucocytes.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with coronary artery disease have become a major public health concern. The occurrence of insulin resistance accompanied with endothelial dysfunction worsens the state of atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The combination of insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction leads to coronary artery disease and ischemic heart disease complications. A recognized biological marker, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, has been used widely to assess the progression of atherosclerosis and inflammation. Along with coronary arterial damage and inflammatory processes, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein is considered as an essential atherosclerosis marker in patients with cardiovascular disease, but not as an insulin resistance marker in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. A new biological marker that can act as a reliable indicator of both the exact state of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis is required to facilitate optimal health management of diabetic patients. Malfunctioning of insulin mechanism and endothelial dysfunction leads to innate immune activation and released several biological markers into circulation. This review examines potential biological markers, YKL-40, alpha-hydroxybutyrate, soluble CD36, leptin, resistin, interleukin-18, retinol binding protein-4, and chemerin, as they may play significant roles in insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with coronary artery disease.

Objective:Circulating microvesicles, released from activated/apoptotic cells, are involved in vascular complications and may be looked upon as biomarkers. Albuminuria is characteristic of disease progression in type 2 diabetes mellitus. We aimed to investigate quantitative and qualitative differences of circulating microvesicles in type 2 diabetes mellitus with and without albuminuria and whether 12-month exercise training influenced expression of circulating microvesicles.Methods:Coronary artery disease patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 75), of which 25 had albuminuria, were included. Annexin V+(AV+) circulating microvesicles were analysed by flow cytometry in citrated plasma. The exercise volume was 150 min per week.Results:In albuminuria patients, circulating microvesicles from endothelial-(CD146+/CD62E+/AV+) and endothelial-progenitor-(CD309+/CD34+/AV+) cells were significantly higher compared to those without ( p ⩽ 0.01, both). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the endothelial circulating microvesicles shows an area under the curve of 0.704 (95% confidence interval: 0.57–0.84; p = 0.004). Albuminuria patients had more circulating microvesicles derived from activated leukocytes and monocytes and monocytes carrying tissue factor (CD11b+/AV+, CD11b+/CD14+/AV+, CD142+/CD14+/AV+, respectively, p ⩽ 0.05, all) and higher number of circulating microvesicles from activated platelets (CD62P+/AV+). Within exercising patients, circulating microvesicles from progenitor cells increased ( p = 0.023), however, not significantly different from controls.Conclusion:Coronary artery disease patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and albuminuria had elevated number of circulating microvesicles from activated blood and vascular cells, rendering them as potential predictors of disease severity. The circulating microvesicles were limitedly affected by long-term exercise training in our population.

Abstract Background Investigate effects of long-term exercise on the remodeling markers MMP-9, TIMP-1, EMMPRIN and Galectin-3 in combined type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. Any associations between these biomarkers and glucometabolic variables were further assessed at baseline. Methods 137 patients (age 41–81 years, 17.2% females) were included and randomized to a 12-months exercise program or to a control group. Fasting blood samples and subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) samples were taken at inclusion and after 12-months. The intervention was a combination of aerobic and strength training for a minimum of 150 min per week. Circulating protein levels were measured by ELISA methods and RNA was extracted from AT and circulating leukocytes. Expression levels were relatively quantified by PCR. Results After 12 months of intervention, both AT-expression and circulating levels of EMMPRIN were increased in the exercise group (p < 0.05, both) with significant difference in change between the two groups (p < 0.05 both). No significant effect was observed on MMP-9, TIMP-1 and Galectin-3. Levels of TIMP-1 (AT-expression and circulating) were significantly correlated to insulin, and HOMA2- after Bonferroni correction (p = 0.001, by 48 performed correlations). Conclusion The increase in levels of EMMPRIN after long-term exercise training, might indicate some degree of AT remodeling in these patients after 12-months of exercise, whether beneficial or not. The remodeling markers were to some extent associated with glucometabolic variables in our population with the combined disease. Trial registration clinicaltrials.gov, NCT01232608.
