Variation of modulation and expression of biomarkers associated with inflammation in bariatric surgery patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Surgery 2023; 174:1114-1144. [PMID: 37633813 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2023.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bariatric surgery is an effective intervention that causes a series of metabolic changes related to inflammatory processes; however, the variation of biomarkers related to these processes is not entirely understood. Our objective was to investigate the variation of modulation and expression of biomarkers associated with inflammation in patients who underwent bariatric surgery. METHODS We searched the MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE (via Elsevier), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (via virtual health library), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (via EBSCO), Web of Science core collection, and Scopus (via Elsevier) databases, and the gray literature was examined from inception to January 2022. Three pairs of reviewers performed data screening, extraction, and quality assessment independently. Meta-analysis with random effects models was used for general, subgroup, and sensitivity analyses. The I2 statistic was used to assess heterogeneity between studies. RESULTS In total, 96 articles were included in this systematic review; of these, 87 studies met the criteria for the meta-analysis, involving 3,533 participants. Five biomarkers were included in the meta-analysis (tumor necrosis factor alpha; interleukin 6; leptin; interleukin 1 beta, and lipopolysaccharides). Only leptin showed a significant decrease in the first month after surgery (mean difference -20.71; [95% confidence interval: -28.10 to -13.32, P < .0001; I2 = 66.7%), with moderate heterogeneity. The 12 months after surgery showed a significant decrease in tumor necrosis factor alpha (mean difference -0.89; [95% confidence interval: -1.37 to -0.42], P = .0002; I2 = 94.7%), interleukin 6 (mean difference -1.62; [95% confidence interval: -1.95 to -1.29], P < .0001; I2 = 94.9%), leptin (mean difference -28.63; [95% confidence interval: -34.02 to -23.25], P < .0001; I2 = 92.7%), and interleukin 1 beta (mean difference -2.46; [95% confidence interval: -4.23 to -0.68], P = .006; I2 = 98.3%), all with high heterogeneity. The type of surgery did not show significant differences for the biomarkers at the first month and 12 months, and the results have not changed with high-quality studies. In the 12-month measurement, variations in tumor necrosis factor alpha and leptin were associated with body mass index. CONCLUSION The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy bariatric surgeries are associated with a significant reduction in leptin at 1 month after bariatric surgical intervention and tumor necrosis factor alpha, leptin, and interleukin 1 beta after 12 months.

Obes Rev 2023; 24:e13600. [PMID: 37448173 DOI: 10.1111/obr.13600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 06/01/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
The complex and multifactorial etiology of obesity creates challenges for its effective long-term management. Increasingly, the gut microbiome is reported to play a key role in the maintenance of host health and wellbeing, with its dysregulation associated with chronic diseases such as obesity. The gut microbiome is hypothesized to contribute to obesity development and pathogenesis via several pathways involving food digestion, energy harvest and storage, production of metabolites influencing satiety, maintenance of gut barrier integrity, and bile acid metabolism. Moreover, the gut microbiome likely contributes to the metabolic, inflammatory, and satiety benefits and sustained weight-loss effects following bariatric procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy. While the field of gut microbiome research in relation to obesity and sleeve gastrectomy outcomes is largely in its infancy, the gut microbiome nonetheless holds great potential for understanding some of the mechanisms behind sleeve gastrectomy outcomes as well as for optimizing post-surgery benefits. This review will explore the current literature within the field as well as discuss the current limitations, including the small sample size, variability in methodological approaches, and lack of associative data, which need to be addressed in future studies.

A Comprehensive Summary of the Current Understanding of the Relationship between Severe Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, and Inflammatory Status. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12113818. [PMID: 37298013 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12113818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
At present, obesity, as a part of metabolic syndrome, represents the leading factor for disability, and is correlated with higher inflammation status, morbidity, and mortality. The purpose of our study is to add new insights to the present body of knowledge regarding the correlations between chronic systemic inflammation and severe obesity, which cannot be treated without considering other metabolic syndrome conditions. Biomarkers of high-level chronic inflammation are recognized as important predictors of pro-inflammatory disease. Besides the well-known pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as WBCs (white blood cells), IL-1 (interleukin-1), IL-6 (interleukin-6), TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor-alpha), and hsCRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein), as well as anti-inflammatory markers, such as adiponectin and systemic inflammation, can be determined by a variety of blood tests as a largely available and inexpensive inflammatory biomarker tool. A few parameters, such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio; the level of cholesterol 25-hydroxylase, which is part of the macrophage-enriched metabolic network in adipose tissue; or levels of glutamine, an immune-metabolic regulator in white adipose tissue, are markers that link obesity to inflammation. Through this narrative review, we try to emphasize the influence of the weight-loss process in reducing obesity-related pro-inflammatory status and associated comorbidities. All data from the presented studies report positive results following weight-loss procedures while improving overall health, an effect that lasts over time, as far as the existing research data show.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1091040. [PMID: 37008903 PMCID: PMC10061349 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1091040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background High-fat diet (HFD) induced obesity is characterized with chronic low-grade inflammation in various tissues and organs among which colon is the first to display pro-inflammatory features associated with alterations of the gut microbiota. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is currently one of the most effective treatments for obesity. Although studies reveal that SG results in decreased levels of inflammation in multiple tissues such as liver and adipose tissues, the effects of surgery on obesity related pro-inflammatory status in the colon and its relation to the microbial changes remain unknown. Methods To determine the effects of SG on the colonic pro-inflammatory condition and the gut microbiota, SG was performed on HFD-induced obese mice. To probe the causal relationship between alterations of the gut microbiota and improvements of pro-inflammatory status in the colon following SG, we applied broad-spectrum antibiotics cocktails on mice that received SG to disturb the gut microbial changes. The pro-inflammatory shifts in the colon were assessed based on morphology, macrophage infiltration and expressions of a variety of cytokine genes and tight junction protein genes. The gut microbiota alterations were analyzed using 16s rRNA sequencing. RNA sequencing of colon was conducted to further explore the role of the gut microbiota in amelioration of colonic pro-inflammation following SG at a transcriptional level. Results Although SG did not lead to pronounced changes of colonic morphology and macrophage infiltration in the colon, there were significant decreases in the expressions of several pro-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-18, and IL-23 as well as increased expressions of some tight junction proteins in the colon following SG, suggesting an improvement of pro-inflammatory status. This was accompanied by changing populations of the gut microbiota such as increased richness of Lactobacillus subspecies following SG. Importantly, oral administrations of broad-spectrum antibiotics to delete most intestinal bacteria abrogated surgical effects to relieve colonic pro-inflammation. This was further confirmed by transcriptional analysis of colon indicating that SG regulated inflammation related pathways in a manner that was gut microbiota relevant. Conclusion These results support that SG decreases obesity related colonic pro-inflammatory status through the gut microbial alterations.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The obesity epidemic is on the rise, and while it is well known that obesity is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk factors such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea, recent data has highlighted that the degree and type of fat distribution may play a bigger role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease (CVD) than body mass index (BMI) alone. We aim to review updated data on adipose tissue inflammation and distribution and CVD. RECENT FINDINGS We review the pathophysiology of inflammation secondary to adipose tissue, the association of obesity-related adipokines and CVD, and the differences and significance of brown versus white adipose tissue. We delve into the clinical manifestations of obesity-related inflammation in CVD. We discuss the available data on heterogeneity of adipose tissue-related inflammation with a focus on subcutaneous versus visceral adipose tissue, the differential pathophysiology, and clinical CVD manifestations of adipose tissue across sex, race, and ethnicity. Finally, we present the available data on lifestyle modification, medical, and surgical therapeutics on reduction of obesity-related inflammation. Obesity leads to a state of chronic inflammation which significantly increases the risk for CVD. More research is needed to develop non-invasive VAT quantification indices such as risk calculators which include variables such as sex, age, race, ethnicity, and VAT concentration, along with other well-known CVD risk factors in order to comprehensively determine risk of CVD in obese patients. Finally, pre-clinical biomarkers such as pro-inflammatory adipokines should be validated to estimate risk of CVD in obese patients.

Ileal transposition helps to regulate plasma hepatokine levels in obese Zucker (Crl:ZUC(ORL)-Lepr fa) rats. Sci Rep 2021; 11:7774.

Abstract
We studied the long-term effect of ileal transposition (IT) metabolic surgery on the hepatokines: retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4), α-2-HS-glycoprotein (aHSG/fetuin-A), and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma levels, glucose metabolism, body weight, liver histology, as well as total lipids concentration in muscle, liver, and fat tissue of obese Zucker (Crl:ZUC(ORL)-Leprfa) rats. 14 adult males were randomly submitted either to IT or SHAM (control) surgery. Pre-operative hepatokines plasma levels were not significantly different in rats submitted to IT or SHAM protocol. Three months after the procedures the plasma levels of RBP4, aHSG, FGF21, and CRP were significantly lower in IT-operated animals when compared to SHAM-operated group. Three and 12 weeks after the IT and SHAM surgery, the AUCOGTT were significantly lower than AUCOGTT before the surgery. HOMA-IR was lower in rats after IT surgery in comparison to the SHAM-operated rats. Muscle and liver total lipids concentration was reduced after the IT procedure when compared to pre-IT conditions. IT had a significant reductive impact on the body weight in comparison to SHAM surgery in the 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th week after the surgery. We conclude that IT reduces hepatokines' plasma concentrations, muscle and liver total lipids concentration but not the inflammatory processes in the liver of Zucker (Crl:ZUC(ORL)-Leprfa) rats.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Obesity increases the risk of hypertension. However, blood pressure decreases before any significant loss of body weight after bariatric surgery. We review the mechanisms of the temporal dissociation between blood pressure and body weight after bariatric surgery. RECENT FINDINGS Restrictive and bypass bariatric surgery lower blood pressure and plasma leptin levels within days of the procedure in both hypertensive and normotensive morbidly obese patients. Rapidly decreasing plasma leptin levels and minimal loss of body weight point to reduced sympathetic nervous system activity as the underlying mechanism of rapid blood pressure decline after bariatric surgery. After the early rapid decline, blood pressure does not decrease further in patients who, while still obese, experience a steady loss of body weight for the subsequent 12 months. The divergent effects of bariatric surgery on blood pressure and body weight query the role of excess body weight in the pathobiology of the obesity phenotype of hypertension. The decrease in blood pressure after bariatric surgery is moderate and independent of body weight. The lack of temporal relationship between blood pressure reduction and loss of body weight for 12 months after sleeve gastrectomy questions the nature of the mechanisms underlying obesity-associated hypertension.
