Predictive value of angiopoietin-like protein 8 in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and its progression: A case-control study. World J Diabetes 2024; 15:418-428. [PMID: 38591072 PMCID: PMC10999044 DOI: 10.4239/wjd.v15.i3.418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is rapidly increasing, currently affecting approximately 25% of the global population. Liver fibrosis represents a crucial stage in the development of MAFLD, with advanced liver fibrosis elevating the risks of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Simple serum markers are less effective in diagnosing liver fibrosis compared to more complex markers. However, imaging techniques like transient elastography face limitations in clinical application due to equipment and technical constraints. Consequently, it is imperative to identify a straightforward yet effective method for assessing MAFLD-associated liver fibrosis. AIM To investigate the predictive value of angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) in MAFLD and its progression. METHODS We analyzed 160 patients who underwent abdominal ultrasonography in the Endocrinology Department, Xiaogan Central Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology, during September 2021-July 2022. Using abdominal ultrasonography and MAFLD diagnostic criteria, among the 160 patients, 80 patients (50%) were diagnosed with MAFLD. The MAFLD group was divided into the liver fibrosis group (n = 23) and non-liver fibrosis group (n = 57) by using a cut-off fibrosis-4 index ≥ 1.45. Logistical regression was used to analyze the risk of MAFLD and the risk factors for its progression. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the predictive value of serum ANGPTL8 in MAFLD and its progression. RESULTS Compared with non-MAFLD patients, MAFLD patients had higher serum ANGPTL8 and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index (both P < 0.05). Serum ANGPTL8 (r = 0.576, P < 0.001) and TyG index (r = 0.473, P < 0.001) were positively correlated with MAFLD. Serum ANGPTL8 was a risk factor for MAFLD [odds ratio (OR): 1.123, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.066-1.184, P < 0.001). Serum ANGPTL8 and ANGPTL8 + TyG index predicted MAFLD [area under the curve (AUC): 0.832 and 0.886, respectively; both P < 0.05]. Compared with MAFLD patients without fibrosis, those with fibrosis had higher serum ANGPTL8 and TyG index (both P < 0.05), and both parameters were positively correlated with MAFLD-associated fibrosis. Elevated serum ANGPTL8 (OR: 1.093, 95%CI: 1.044-1.144, P < 0.001) and TyG index (OR: 2.383, 95%CI: 1.199-4.736, P < 0.013) were risk factors for MAFLD-associated fibrosis. Serum ANGPTL8 and ANGPTL8 + TyG index predicted MAFLD-associated fibrosis (AUC: 0.812 and 0.835, respectively; both P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The serum levels of ANGPTL8 are elevated and positively correlated with MAFLD. They can serve as predictors for the risk of MAFLD and liver fibrosis, with the ANGPTL8 + TyG index potentially exhibiting even higher predictive value.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2023; 109:e119-e129. [PMID: 37590020 PMCID: PMC10735300 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgad490] [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: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a metabolical disorder and can lead to liver fibrosis. Because it is commonly seen, several noninvasive scores (NS) have been validated to identify high-risk patients. Patients with NAFLD have been shown to have higher serum angiopoietin-like protein-8 (ANGPTL-8) levels. OBJECTIVE The risk of NAFLD is known insufficiently in acromegaly. Moreover, the utility of the NS and the link between NAFLD and ANGPTL-8 in acromegaly is unknown. METHODS Thirty-two patients with acromegaly (n = 15, active [AA] and n = 17, controlled acromegaly [CA]) and 19 healthy controls were included. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-proton density fat fraction (PDFF) was used to evaluate hepatic steatosis, and magnetic resonance elastography to evaluate liver stiffness measurement. ANGPTL-8 levels were measured with ELISA. RESULTS Median liver MRI-PDFF and NAFLD prevalence in AA were lower than in CA (P = .026 and P < .001, respectively). Median magnetic resonance elastography-liver stiffness measurement were similar across groups. Of the NS, visceral adiposity index, fatty liver index, hepatic steatosis index, and triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) all showed positive correlation with the liver MRI-PDFF in the control group. However, only TyG significantly correlated with liver fat in the AA and CA groups. There was no correlation between traditional NAFLD risk factors (body mass index, waist circumference, C-reactive protein, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, visceral adipose tissue) and liver MRI-PDFF in the AA and CA. Patients with acromegaly with NAFLD had lower GH, IGF-1, and ANGPTL-8 levels than in those without NAFLD (P = .025, P = .011, and P = .036, respectively). CONCLUSION Active acromegaly may protect from NAFLD because of high GH. In patients with acromegaly, NAFLD risk cannot be explained with classical risk factors; hence, additional risk factors must be identified. TyG is the best score to evaluate NAFLD risk. Lower ANGPTL-8 in patients with acromegaly and NAFLD implies this hormone may be raised because of insulin resistance rather than being a cause for NAFLD.

Relationship between Serum Angiopoietin-like Proteins 3 and 8 and Atherogenic Lipid Biomarkers in Non-Diabetic Adults Depends on Gender and Obesity. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13124339. [PMID: 34959891 PMCID: PMC8709017 DOI: 10.3390/nu13124339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays an essential role in the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs). Angiopoietin-like proteins ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 are shown to be important regulators of LPL activity. Increased concentrations of these proteins may reflect cardiovascular risk, and the treatment of patients with dyslipidemia with ANGPTLs inhibitors may decrease this risk. We assessed the gender-specific relationships of serum ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 with atherogenic lipid biomarkers and obesity in non-diabetic adults. The study comprised 238 participants aged 25-74 [122 with triglycerides (TG) <150 mg/dL (<1.7 mmol/L) and 116 with hypertriglyceridemia]. Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, TG, C-reactive protein (CRP), glycated hemoglobin, apolipoprotein B, small dense LDL-C (sd-LDL-C), ANGPTL3, and ANGPTL8 were measured. Non-HDL-cholesterol, remnant cholesterol (remnant-C) concentrations, and body mass index (BMI) were calculated. Results: Women and men did not differ in terms of age, CRP levels, the percentage of obese subjects, and concentrations of atherogenic lipid biomarkers, except higher TG in males and higher ANGPTL3 concentrations in females. Positive correlations of both ANGPTLs with TG, remnant-C, and sdLDL-C levels were found in females. In males, only ANGPTL3 correlated positively with atherogenic biomarkers, but there were no correlations with ANGPTL8. Concentrations of ANGPTL3 were higher in obese men, whereas ANGPTL8 levels were higher in obese women. In women alone, ANGPTL8 showed very good discrimination power to identify subjects with hypertriglyceridemia (AUC = 0.83). Contrary to this, ANGPTL3 was a better discriminator of hypertriglyceridemia (AUC = 0.78) in male subjects. Regression models, adjusted for age, sex, and BMI showed a weak but significant effect of ANGPTL8 to increase the risk of hypertriglyceridemia. Conclusions: In females, ANGPTL8 is more strongly associated with TRLs metabolism, whereas in males, ANGPTL3 plays a more important role. We suggest sex differences be taken into consideration when applying new therapies with angiopoietin-like proteins inhibitors in the treatment of dyslipidemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 in lipid regulation in patients with very high levels of HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride is unknown. OBJECTIVE We examined plasma levels of ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 in subjects with hyperalphalipoproteinemia (HALP) and in those with severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG). METHODS Plasma ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 levels were measured by ELISA in 320 subjects, consisting of HALP subjects with HDL-cholesterol ≥100 mg/dl (n=90) and healthy controls (n=90) and subjects with triglyceride ≥886 mg/dl (n=89) and control subjects (n=51). RESULTS The mean plasma ANGPTL3 level was significantly higher in the HALP group compared to that of the controls (297 ± 112 ng/mL vs. 230 ± 100 ng/mL, p<0.001). Similarly, the mean plasma ANGPTL8 level was also higher in the HALP group (30 ± 11 ng/mL vs. 20 ± 8 ng/mL, p<0.001). Both ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 levels positively correlated with HDL-cholesterol levels. In the severe HTG group, plasma ANGPTL3 level was significantly higher than those in the control group (223 ± 105 ng/mL vs. 151 ± 60 ng/mL, p<0.001), but not ANGPTL8 (23 ± 20 ng/mL vs. 31 ± 23 ng/mL in controls, p=0.028). Only ANGPTL3, but not ANGPTL8, levels positively correlated with triglyceride levels. CONCLUSION Plasma level of ANGPTL3 was increased in both HALP and severe HTG whereas an increase in plasma level of ANGPTL8 was found only in HALP, and not in severe HTG, suggesting that both ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL8 might play distinct roles in lipid regulation on these two extremes of dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Purpose Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is characterized by an inflammatory response. Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) is a hormone involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and inflammation. However, the relationship between ANGPTL8 and TAD remains unknown. Methods This case-control study included 78 TAD patients and 72 controls. The aortic diameter was evaluated by computed tomography and used to assess TAD severity. Circulating ANGPTL8 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Associations of ANGPTL8 with TAD were determined by multivariate logistic regression. Results Serum ANGPTL8 levels were significantly higher in TAD patients compared with controls (562.50 ± 20.84 vs. 419.70 ± 22.65 pg/mL, respectively; P < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, circulating ANGPTL8 levels were an independent risk factor for TAD (odds ratio = 1.587/100 pg ANGPTL8, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.121–2.247, P < 0.001) and positively associated with diameter (β = 1.081/100 pg ANGPTL8, 95% CI = 0.075–2.086, P = 0.035) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (β = 0.845/100 pg ANGPTL8, 95% CI = 0.020–1.480, P = 0.009). The area under the curve (AUC) on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of the combination of ANGPTL8, hs-CRP, and D-dimer was 0.927, and the specificity and sensitivity were 98.46% and 79.49%, respectively. ANGPTL8 was significantly increased in TAD tissue compared with controls. In vitro, ANGPTL8 was increased in angiotensin II (AngII)-treated macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), while ANGPTL8 siRNA-mediated knockdown decreased inflammatory factors in AngII-treated macrophages and decreased apoptosis in AngII-treated VSMCs. Conclusion ANGPTL8 is associated with TAD occurrence and development, which may involve pro-inflammatory effects on macrophages. ANGPTL8 combined with D-dimer and hs-CRP might be a useful clinical predictor of TAD.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease with increasing prevalence worldwide. Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8), a member of the angiopoietin-like protein family, is involved in glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, and energy homeostasis and believed to be associated with T2DM. Expression levels of ANGPTL8 are often significantly altered in metabolic diseases, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes mellitus. Studies have shown that ANGPTL8, together with other members of this protein family, such as angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3) and angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4), regulates the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), thereby participating in the regulation of triglyceride related lipoproteins (TRLs). In addition, members of the angiopoietin-like protein family are varyingly expressed among different tissues and respond differently under diverse nutritional and metabolic status. These findings may provide new options for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes, metabolic syndromes and other diseases. In this review, the interaction between ANGPTL8 and ANGPTL3 or ANGPTL4, and the differential expression of ANGPTL8 responding to different nutritional and metabolic status during the regulation of LPL activity were reviewed.
