- Abstract
Background Increased production of chemokines by adipose tissue and defective adipose tissue oxygenation as a result of obesity may induce leucocyte infiltration and subsequent systemic inflammation. Objectives 1-To determine the relation between the amount of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue and the chemokine interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 ( IP-10) and angiogenic factor hepatocyte growth factor ( HGF). 2-To determine the relation between the metabolic syndrome and IP-10 as well as HGF. Methods Patients originated from the Secondary Manifestations of ARTerial disease ( SMART) cohort. In this study, a cohort of 1251 patients with manifest vascular disease was included. Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue thickness ( SAT and VAT respectively) were measured ultrasonographically. IP-10 and HGF concentrations were measured with Luminex multiplex immuno assay in addition to fasting metabolic parameters. Linear regression analyses with adjustments for age, gender, smoking, estimated glomerular filtration rate, type 2 diabetes mellitus and medication use were applied to quantify the relations between adiposity or metabolic syndrome and IP-10 and HGF concentrations. Results VAT was significantly associated with (log)IP-10 and (log)HGF, reflected by significant higher β-values in VAT quartile 4 compared with VAT quartile 1 (reference): β0.155 (95%CI:0.073-0.237) for IP-10 and β0.147 (95%CI:0.076-0.218) for HGF. Per standard deviation increase in VAT, (log)IP-10 levels increased with 0.057 pg/ mL (95%CI:0.027-0.087) and (log)HGF increased with 0.051 pg/ mL (95%CI:0.025-0.077). Effect estimates were not affected by including body mass index(BMI) in the model. In contrast, SAT was not associated with IP-10 and HGF. Furthermore, the presence of the metabolic syndrome was associated with IP-10 and HGF. Conclusions Visceral adipose tissue but not subcutaneous adipose tissue is significantly associated with circulating levels of IP-10 and HGF, irrespective of BMI.
