Megamonas funiformis, Plasma Zonulin, and Sodium Intake Affect C3 Complement Levels in Inactive Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15081999. [PMID: 37111218 PMCID: PMC10144636 DOI: 10.3390/nu15081999] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The etiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains unclear, with both genetic and environmental factors potentially contributing. This study aimed to explore the relationship among gut microbiota (GM), intestinal permeability, and food intake with inflammatory markers in inactive SLE patients. A total of 22 women with inactive SLE and 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled, and dietary intake was assessed through 24-h dietary recalls. Plasma zonulin was used to evaluate intestinal permeability, while GM was determined by 16S rRNA sequencing. Regression models were used to analyze laboratory markers of lupus disease (C3 and C4 complement and C-reactive protein). Our results showed that the genus Megamonas was significantly enriched in the iSLE group (p < 0.001), with Megamonas funiformis associated with all evaluated laboratory tests (p < 0.05). Plasma zonulin was associated with C3 levels (p = 0.016), and sodium intake was negatively associated with C3 and C4 levels (p < 0.05). A combined model incorporating variables from each group (GM, intestinal permeability, and food intake) demonstrated a significant association with C3 complement levels (p < 0.01). These findings suggest that increased Megamonas funiformis abundance, elevated plasma zonulin, and higher sodium intake may contribute to reduced C3 complement levels in women with inactive SLE.

Dietary inflammatory patterns are associated with serum triglycerides and insulin in adults: A community-based study in Taiwan. J Nutr 2023:S0022-3166(23)37558-8. [PMID: 37084871 DOI: 10.1016/j.tjnut.2023.04.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary patterns related to inflammation have become a focus of disease prevention but the patterns may vary among populations. OBJECTIVE The study was conducted to determine Taiwanese dietary inflammatory patterns and evaluate their associations with biomarkers of lipid and glucose METHODS: Data were taken from 5,664 community-dwelling individuals aged ≥55 years old recruited in 2009 - 2013 in the Healthy Aging Longitudinal Study in Taiwan (HALST). Dietary data were obtained from a food frequency questionnaire. An empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) was derived from reduced rank regression models that explained the serum hsCRP, plasma IL-6, and TNFR1. Cross-sectional associations between dietary scores and biomarkers of total cholesterol (TC); high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC); low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride (TG); and ratios of TG/HDLC, TG/TC, fasting glucose, insulin, and HbA1c were analyzed via multiple linear regression and adjusted for major confounders. The false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted p <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Abdominal obesity was defined as a waist circumference of ≥90 cm for men and ≥80 cm for women. RESULTS Higher EDIP-HALST scores were associated with higher TG (per score increment: 1.62%, 95% CI: 0.58-2.76%; pFDR=0.01), TG/HDLC (2.01%, 0.67-3.37%; pFDR=0.01), and TG/TC (1.42%, 0.41-2.43%; pFDR=0.01) and nonlinearly associated with insulin, with those in the middle tertile had the highest serum insulin concentrations (means: 5.12 μIU/mL, 4.78-5.78; pFDR =0.04) in men, but not in women. No heterogeneity was detected between sexes. The associations with TG (1.23%, 0.19-2.23%; ptrend=0.02), TG/HDLC (1.62%, 0.30-2.96%; ptrend=0.02), and TG/TC (1.11%, 0.11-2.13%; ptrend=0.03) were stronger in participants with abdominal obesity, but were borderline associated in participants with normal abdominal circumferences (all ptrend=0.05). CONCLUSIONS Inflammatory diets, as measured via EDIP-HALST, were associated with serum TG concentration, particularly in participants with abdominal obesity. These findings may suggest that developing disease prevention strategies using dietary inflammatory patterns may be different by populations.

Postdiagnostic intake of a more proinflammatory diet is associated with a higher risk of recurrence and all-cause mortality in colorectal cancer survivors. Am J Clin Nutr 2023; 117:243-251. [PMID: 36811565 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2022.11.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The inflammatory potential of the diet has been associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk, but its association with CRC prognosis is unclear. OBJECTIVE To investigate the inflammatory potential of the diet in relation to recurrence and all-cause mortality among persons diagnosed with stage I to III CRC. METHODS Data of the COLON study, a prospective cohort among CRC survivors were used. Dietary intake, 6 mo after diagnosis, was assessed by using a food frequency questionnaire and was available for 1631 individuals. The empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) score was used as a proxy for the inflammatory potential of the diet. The EDIP score was created by using reduced rank regression and stepwise linear regression to identify food groups that explained most of the variations in plasma inflammatory markers (IL6, IL8, C-reactive protein, and tumor necrosis factor-α) measured in a subgroup of survivors (n = 421). Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models with restricted cubic splines were used to investigate the relation between the EDIP score and CRC recurrence and all-cause mortality. Models were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, PAL, smoking status, stage of disease, and tumor location. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 2.6 y (IQR: 2.1) for recurrence and 5.6 y (IQR: 3.0) for all-cause mortality, during which 154 and 239 events occurred, respectively. A nonlinear positive association between the EDIP score and recurrence and all-cause mortality was observed. For example, a more proinflammatory diet (EDIP score +0.75) compared with the median (EDIP score 0) was associated with a higher risk of CRC recurrence (HR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.29) and all-cause mortality (HR: 1.23; 95% CI: 1.12, 1.35). CONCLUSIONS A more proinflammatory diet was associated with a higher risk of recurrence and all-cause mortality in CRC survivors. Further intervention studies should investigate whether a switch to a more anti-inflammatory diet improves CRC prognosis.

Lifestyle and Dietary Habits Affect Plasma Levels of Specific Cytokines in Healthy Subjects. Front Nutr 2022; 9:913176. [PMID: 35811952 PMCID: PMC9270017 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.913176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Low-grade chronic inflammation (LGCI) is a common feature of non-communicable diseases. Cytokines play a crucial role in LGCI. This study aimed to assess how LGCI risk factors [e.g., age, body mass index (BMI), smoke, physical activity, and diet] may impact on specific cytokine levels in a healthy population. In total, 150 healthy volunteers were recruited and subjected to questionnaires about the last 7-day lifestyle, including smoking habit, physical activity, and food frequency. A panel of circulating cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors was analyzed by multiplex ELISA. BMI showed the heaviest impact on the correlation between LGCI-related risk factors and cytokines and was significantly associated with CRP levels. Aging was characterized by an increase in IL-1b, eotaxin, MCP-1, and MIP-1α. Smoking was related to higher levels of IL-1b and CCL5/RANTES, while physical activity was related to MIP-1α. Within the different eating habits, CRP levels were modulated by eggs, red meat, shelled fruits, and greens consumption; however, these associations were not confirmed in a multivariate model after adjusting for BMI. Nevertheless, red meat consumption was associated with an inflammatory pattern, characterized by an increase in IL-6 and IL-8. IL-8 levels were also increased with the frequent intake of sweets, while a higher intake of shelled fruits correlated with lower levels of IL-6. Moreover, IL-6 and IL-8 formed a cluster that also included IL-1b and TNF-α. In conclusion, age, BMI, smoke, physical activity, and dietary habits are associated with specific cytokines that may represent potential markers for LGCI.

Abstract
Existing evidence suggests diet and chronic inflammation as risk factors in ovarian cancer (OC) development. We aim to conduct a meta-analysis exploring possible associations between dietary inflammatory potential and OC. A systematic search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and PMC databases for studies reporting relationships between dietary inflammatory potential and OC risk published up to September 2020. We included six studies for stepwise analysis, of which 5,468 among 197,086 individuals developed OC. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) were calculated by fixed-effects models, while heterogeneity was assessed by Q test and I2 statistic. The results revealed a positive association between dietary inflammatory potential measured by the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and OC(P < 0.05). Individuals with higher DII scores had a 42% increased risk of OC incidence [OR = 1.42, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.19-1.65]. The analysis considering DII as a continuous variable showed an increased risk of 10% for 1-point increase of DII(OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.06-1.14). Subgroup analysis revealed that increased risk of OC in individuals with higher DII scores vs. those with lower DII was only significant among post-menopausal women(OR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.26-2.21) rather than those pre/peri-menopausal(OR = 1.21, 95% CI: 0.63-1.79). Pro-inflammatory diets with higher DII score were significantly related to increased OC risk among post-menopausal women.

Association of the insulinemic potential of diet and lifestyle with risk of diabetes incident in Tehranian adults: a population based cohort study. Nutr J 2021; 20:39. [PMID: 33892738 PMCID: PMC8067662 DOI: 10.1186/s12937-021-00697-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2020] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We aimed to assess the associations between insulinemic potential of diet and lifestyle and the risk of diabetes incident, using four empirical indices including the empirical dietary index for hyperinsulinemia (EDIH), the empirical dietary index for insulin resistance (EDIR), empirical lifestyle index for hyperinsulinemia (ELIH), and empirical lifestyle index for insulin resistance (ELIR). Methods A total of 3734 individuals, aged ≥ 20 years old, who were free of diabetes at baseline (2008–2011), were followed for 6.2 years (2015–2018) to ascertain incident diabetes. The food frequency questionnaire was used to collect dietary intakes at baseline. Odds ratio (OR) of diabetes were calculated across quartiles of EDIH, EDIR, ELIH, and ELIR using logistic regression, which controlled for confounding factors. Results The mean ± SD age and BMI of individuals (45.1 % male) were 40.9 ± 12.0 years and 27.1 ± 4.1 kg/m2, respectively. At the end of follow-up, 253 (6.8 %) diabetes cases were identified. In the multivariable-adjusted model, individuals in the highest quartile of EDIR (1.58;95 %CI:1.03–2.44, P for trend = 0.025), ELIH (1.89;95 %CI:1.20–2.97, P for trend = 0.004), and ELIR (1.74; 95 %CI:1.11–2.72, P for trend = 0.031) had increased the risk of diabetes. However, no significant associations were found between the score of EDIH and diabetes incident. Conclusions Higher adherence to EDIR, ELIH, and ELIR scores were associated with increased risk of diabetes, while no significant association was found between EDIH score and diabetes incident.
