Fernandez LFA, Pineda-Cortel MRB. ADIPOQ gene (T45G and G276T) single nucleotide polymorphisms and their association with gestational diabetes mellitus in a Filipino population. BMC Endocr Disord 2023; 23:248. [PMID: 37953238 PMCID: PMC10641948 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-023-01479-z] [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: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Several studies have associated the presence of ADIPOQ gene polymorphisms with insulin resistance, adiponectin levels, and metabolic diseases such as diabetes, although with varying degrees of correlation depending on ethnicity. Here we aim to identify individual's susceptibility to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the presence of T45G and G276T single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the ADIPOQ gene among Filipino pregnant women. A total of 285 pregnant women (95 GDM cases and 190 controls) were included in this study. Two ADIPOQ gene polymorphisms were genotyped using TaqMan assay. Results of SNP genotyping showed no significant differences in the frequencies of TT, TG and GG genotypes of T45G SNP between the GDM and control group [p = 1.0000, 0.6179, 0.5797; OR (95%CI) = 1.030 (0.582-1.874), 1.135 (0.683-1.828), 0.833 (0.481-1.420)]. Similarly, the frequencies of GG, GT, and TT genotypes of G276T SNP were comparable in both groups [p = 0.8002, 1.0000, 0.3466; OR (95%CI) = 1.090 (0.654-1.785), 1.022 (0.616-1.665), 0.433 (0.092-1.698)]. Moreover, although adiponectin levels were significantly decreased in GDM group (p = 0.0196) and have shown substantial negative correlations with FBS, 1-hour OGTT, 2-hour OGTT, and HOMA-IR (p < 0.05), they were not significantly different according to genotypes of T45G and G276T polymorphisms both in GDM and control group. Our results suggest that neither of the two ADIPOQ gene polymorphisms influence adiponectin levels and development of GDM in a Filipino population.

Abstract
Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common association with hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance during pregnancy. The adipokines play an important to control insulin secretion and glucose. This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal circulating adipokine levels and ADIPOQ gene polymorphism among pregnant women subjects with GDM and normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Methods Participants including 229 normal pregnant women and 197 GDM pregnant women were enrolled from 2015 to 2018 at Siriraj hospital. Serum adipokine levels including adiponectin, adipsin/factor D, NGAL/Lipocalin-2, total PAI-1, and resistin were measured by immunoassay. ADIPOQ variations were investigated including -11377C/G (rs266729), +45T/G (rs2241766), and +276G/T (rs1501299). Results Serum adiponectin concentration was also significantly decreased among the GDM who had aged less than 35 years old whereas adipsin levels were significantly lower among the GDM who had aged more than 35 years old. Also, adiponectin and total PAI-1 levels were significantly lower among the GDM who had a BMI of less than 30 kg/m2. The G allele frequency of ADIPOQ +45T/G was significantly different between GDM and controls (p = 0.03). ADIPOQ +45T/G was associated with an increased risk of GDM (odds ratio [OR]: 1.554; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.010-2.390; p=0.045). The -11377C/G was affected by the level of adiponectin (p = 0.04). The C allele of -11377C/G SNP declined serum adiponectin levels and may be a risk factor for GDM. Conclusion This study revealed that genetics play important roles in circulating adipokines among pregnant women. ADIPOQ polymorphisms had significant associations with adiponectin levels in GDM patients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a severe metabolic disorder, which consistently requires medical care and self-management to restrict complications, such as obesity, kidney damage and cardiovascular diseases. The subtype gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs during pregnancy, which severely affects both the mother and the growing foetus. Obesity, uncontrolled weight gain and advanced gestational age are the prominent risk factors for GDM, which lead to high rate of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Zn in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanism involved in GDM will help researchers to design drugs for the optimal management of the condition without affecting the mother and foetus. This review article is focused on the molecular mechanism involved in the pathophysiology of GDM and the probable biomarkers, which can be helpful for the early diagnosis of the condition. The early diagnosis of the metabolic disorder, most preferably in first trimester of pregnancy, will lead to its effective long-term management, reducing foetal developmental complications and mortality along with safety measures for the mother.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 levels are increased in early pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes and whether gestation age influences levels. The possible use of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 as a pre-screening biomarker to reduce the need for performing oral glucose tolerance tests in pregnant women was also investigated. METHODS Pregnant women were diagnosed with gestational diabetes in early pregnancy after a 2-hour 75 g oral glucose tolerance test in the catchment area of Skåne University Hospital, Lund, Sweden during 2011-2015 (n = 99). Age- and BMI-matched pregnant women without diabetes were recruited at similar gestational ages from maternal healthcare centres in the same geographical area during 2014-2015 to act as controls (n = 100). Circulating pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 was analysed in participant serum using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. RESULTS Circulating pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 was increased in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes [13.5 (9.58-18.8) ng/ml] compared with controls [8.11 (5.74-11.3) ng/ml; P < 0.001]. Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 was associated with gestational diabetes independent of age, BMI, C-peptide and adiponectin (P < 0.001). Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 as a pre-screening biomarker to identify women at a decreased risk of gestational diabetes resulted in a negative predictive value of 99.7%, with a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 30% at a cut-off level of 6 ng/ml. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to show increased pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 levels in gestational diabetes. Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A2 also shows promise as a pre-screening biomarker with the potential to reduce the need for performing oral glucose tolerance tests in early pregnancy. Future prospective cohort studies in a larger group of both high- and low-risk women are, however, needed to further confirm this observation.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a complex condition whose physiopathology to date has not been completely clarified. Two major metabolic disorders, insulin resistance and β-cells dysfunction, play currently major role in pathogenesis of GDM. These elements are influenced by the amount of adipose tissue present before and/or during the pregnancy. Consequently, adipokines (adiponectin (APN), leptin (LPT), adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein, resistin, visfatin, omentin, vaspin, apelin, chemerin) secreted by adipose tissue, may contribute directly and/or indirectly, through the enhancement of chronic inflammation, aggravating insulin resistance and promoting GDM onset. This review aims to outline the potential physiopathological and prognostic role in GDM of adipokines, mainly APN and LPT.

Abstract
Objectives: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance detected for the first time in pregnancy or identified during pregnancy. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a marker of activation and function of platelet. Several studies investigated the relation between MPV and GDM. The purpose of the present study is to predict GDM in the first trimester by using MPV value.Materials and methods: Two hundred pregnant women with GDM and 200 normal pregnant women were enrolled in the study. The first trimester MPV values of GDM and control groups were compared to predict GDM in the first trimester.Results: Women with GDM had higher MPV value compared with the control group (p < .001). The area under the receiver-operator curve was 0.70 for MPV. The cutoff value of MPV was 7.38 fl with 70% sensitivity and 60% specificity. According to the ages, MPV value was higher in GDM group in the individuals who were above 28-year-old (p < .001).Conclusion: MPV can be used to predict GDM in the first trimester.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the cord blood levels of adipokine and to assess their association with the fetal insulin resistance and fetal outcomes in newborns of gestational diabetic women (GDM). Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in 40 GDM women and 40 healthy pregnant women (HPW) in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) hospital in Puducherry, India, during the period from May 2016 to December 2017. Cord blood samples were collected at delivery from GDM and HPW groups. Cord plasma biochemical parameters such as insulin, C-peptide, adiponectin, leptin, resistin, and visfatin concentrations were measured. Leptin/adiponectin ratio (L/A), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR), insulin sensitivity (HOMA2-%S) and beta cell function (HOMA2-%B) were calculated. The pregnancy outcomes such as birth weight (BW), Ponderal index and Apgar scores of the baby were measured. Results: The BW and Ponderal index of the baby were found to be significantly higher in GDM newborns compared to HPW newborns. Cord plasma insulin, C-peptide, HOMA2 -IR, visfatin, leptin, and L/A ratio were significantly higher whereas adiponectin level was lower in GDM compared to HPW. A significant positive correlation was observed between L/A ratio and fetal HOMA2-IR. Conclusion: Altered adipokine levels with increased L/A ratio was observed among the new-borns of Indian gestational diabetic mothers. There was an association between increased L/A ratio, insulin resistance and increased Ponderal index among the new-borns.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to determine any changes in adiponectin and omentin levels in GDM patients who delivered at term and preterm and to evaluate whether adipokines can be useful as a clinical biomarker to predict subsequent preterm delivery. Patients and Methods The levels of adiponectin and omentin were measured in four groups: (1) women with GDM who delivered at term (n=63); (2) women with GDM who had the symptoms of threatened preterm labor and delivered at term (n=23); (3) women with GDM and spontaneous preterm birth (before 37 completed weeks of gestation) (n=19); (4) women with physiological pregnancy (n=55). Results In comparison with control group the median adiponectin concentrations were significantly lower in all GDM groups (10737 versus 8879; 7057; 6253 ng/ml, respectively; p<0.01). The median omentin concentrations were also significantly lower in all GDM groups in comparison with control group (469 versus 432; 357; 308 ng/ml, respectively; p<0.01). No significant differences in adiponectin and omentin levels between the GDM, preterm labor, and preterm birth groups were observed. However, there was a trend towards lower adiponectin and omentin levels in preterm birth group. The strong correlations between adiponectin and omentin levels were observed in all groups (R=0.801, p<0.001; R=0.824, p<0.001; R=0.705, p<0.001; R=0.764, respectively; p<0.001). In the univariable logistic regression model, significant correlation between omentin concentrations and preterm birth occurrence was found. Conclusions Our findings suggest that omentin-1, rather than adiponectin, could be useful as a predictor of preterm birth in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Adiponectin potentially influences fetal weight by altering insulin signaling and trans-placental amino acid and glucose transporters. The objective of this study was to determine how maternal obesity influences maternal and fetal plasma concentrations of adiponectin, expression of fetal adiponectin, its receptors, and adipogenic genes at mid- and late-gestation. Blood samples and tissues were collected from obese and control multiparous pregnant ewes at day 75 or 135 of gestation. Although day of gestation or maternal obesity did not influence (P > 0.6) maternal plasma concentrations of adiponectin, fetal weight was increased (P < 0.001) and adiponectin tended to decrease (P = 0.10) at mid-gestation in fetuses from obese ewes. Differences were not apparent at late-gestation (P > 0.70). Relative abundance of adiponectin (P = 0.01), AdipoR2 (P = 0.04) and PPARγ (P = 0.01) mRNA was less at mid-gestation in fetal adipose tissue from obese mothers. By late gestation, maternal obesity tended to associated with a decrease in relative abundance of adiponectin (P = 0.09) and SREBF1 (P = 0.10) mRNA in fetal adipose tissue. Maternal obesity did not influence (P ≥ 0.20) the relative abundance of adiponectin, AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 mRNA in cotyledonary tissue at mid or late- gestation. In conclusion, maternal obesity in sheep influences relative abundance of fetal adipose tissue mRNA for adiponectin and adipogenic, as well as plasma concentrations of total adiponectin. Although adiposity in pregnant ewes did not influence maternal adiponectin, maternal obesity potentially influenced fetal adipogenesis by altering the abundance of adiponectin, PPARγ and SREBF1 mRNA in fetal adipose tissue.

Abstract
Adiponectin and resistin are adipose tissue-derived proteins with antagonistic actions; adiponectin has insulin sensitive properties while resistin is involved in the development of insulin resistance. We analyzed adiponectin and resistin levels in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) women to evaluate the association of these adipokines in a very high diabetes prevalence population. An age-matched case-control study of GDM and normal pregnant women in Saudi population. We recruited 90 pregnant women at 24-32 weeks of gestation. Glucose levels (fasting, 1, 2, and 3 h) and lipid parameters (cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol) were measured. Serum adiponectin and resistin levels were analyzed using Randox evidence biochip analyzer. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to determine the association of adiponectin and resistin with GDM risk factors. GDM women showed significantly low adiponectin and high resistin levels when compared with control group. Pearson's correlation analysis of adiponectin and resistin in all the subjects with various GDM risk factors showed a negative association of adiponectin (r = -0.32, p = .05) and a positive correlation of resistin (r = 0.41, p = .01) with LDL cholesterol. This study analyzes adiponectin and resistin levels together, as accumulating evidences shows that these are involved in the pathophysiology of GDM. This is going to help to determine in conjunction with traditional risk factors the incremental value of circulating adiponectin and resistin in developing GDM.

Abstract
Background Obesity is a major clinical problem. The number of obese pregnant women is rising rapidly. The consequences of obesity are significant and affect every aspect of perinatal care for both the mother and the developing fetus. Adipose tissue may be responsible for chronic subclinical inflammation in obesity, being a source of inflammatory mediators. The study was designed to evaluate the analysis of the serum concentration of inflammatory mediators, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and adiponectin, in obese pregnant women at full-term pregnancies. Material/Methods The study included 40 women with body mass index (BMI) less than 30 and 24 pregnant women with BMI equal to or greater than 30, admitted to the Perinatology and Obstetrics Department of the University Hospital in Cracow in the first stage of labor. Blood samples were taken from patients to detect the serum concentration of cytokines. Ultrasound was used to evaluate the development of the fetus, including estimated fetal weight, Doppler flows, and the amount of amniotic fluid. We also included the history of chronic diseases and other complications of the pregnancy. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results The level of adiponectin in obese patients as compared to controls was significantly lower. There was no statistically significant difference in either group when TNF-α and IL-6 were measured. The results of the survey are consistent with previous reports. Conclusions The exact role of inflammation in pregnancy is not well understood. Determining the exact functions of the different cytokines in physiological pregnancy and pregnancy complicated by obesity requires further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the glucose intolerance occurring during pregnancy. The prevalence of GDM is increased in obese women. Leptin and adiponectin are adipokines that play an important role in the regulation of insulin secretion and glucose and lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to examine the association between adiponectin and leptin gene polymorphisms and the development of GDM. METHODS This case-control study included 204 pregnant women with GDM and 207 pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). The diagnosis of GDM was based on a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24-28 weeks' gestation. To discriminate the ADIPOQ rs266729, rs1501299 and LEP rs2167270 alleles, TaqMan® Pre-Designed SNP Genotyping Assays were used. RESULTS There was a statistically significant association between the ADIPOQ rs266729 gene polymorphism and GDM. Among women with GDM, a higher prevalence of the G allele was observed (GG and CG genotypes). Multivariate logistic regression analysis, taking into account age, BMI before pregnancy, past pregnancies and the ADIPOQ rs266729 gene polymorphism, revealed that the presence of a G allele is an independent risk factor for GDM. Moreover, there was the association between the LEP rs2167270 polymorphism and the requirement for daily insulin, which was significantly higher in women with the A allele (AA and GA genotypes). CONCLUSIONS The results of our study suggest an association between adiponectin gene rs266729 as well as leptin gene rs2167270 polymorphisms and GDM.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) refers to diabetes diagnosed in the second or third trimester of pregnancy that is not clearly either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. GDM is a common medical complication in pregnancy that has been rapidly increasing worldwide. GDM is associated with both short- and long-term health issues for both mothers and offspring. Consistent with type 2 diabetes, peripheral insulin resistance contributes to the hyperglycemia associated with GDM. Accordingly, it is important to identify strategies to reduce the insulin resistance associated with GDM. To date, observational studies have shown that exercise can be a non-invasive therapeutic option for preventing and managing GDM that can be readily applied to the antenatal population. However, the relevant mechanisms for these outcomes are yet to be fully elucidated. The present review aimed to explain the potential mechanisms of exercise from the perspective of reducing the insulin resistance, which is the root cause of GDM. Exercise recommendations and opinions of exercise during pregnancy are briefly summarized.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy.[1] Pregnancy is a unique situation in which there is a physiological temporary increase in insulin resistance (IR). The mechanisms responsible for the gestational-induced IR are not completely understood. The current study was undertaken to compare adiponectin levels during 24-28 weeks period of gestation in drug-naive newly diagnosed GDM women with a cohort of normoglycemic pregnant women. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 47 pregnant women in the age group of 18-40 years were included in this cross-sectional study, of which 13 were GDM cases and 34 were normoglycemic controls. Serum adiponectin level was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The mean adiponectin level was 16.92 ng/ml (standard deviation [SD] = 2.78) and 19.38 ng/ml (SD = 2.71) in case and control groups, respectively, and the difference was found to be statistically significant (P = 0.008). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated decreased serum adiponectin levels in women with GDM when compared with age- and body mass index-matched euglycemic pregnant women.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes (GD) is a frequent complication during pregnancy and is associated with maternal and neonatal complications. It is suggested that a disturbing environment for the foetus, such as impaired glucose metabolism during intrauterine life, may result in enduring epigenetic changes leading to increased disease risk in adult life. Hence, early prediction of GD is vital. Current risk prediction models are based on maternal and clinical parameters, lacking a strong predictive value. Adipokines are mainly produced by adipocytes and suggested to be a link between obesity and its cardiovascular complications. Various adipokines, including adiponectin, leptin and TNF&, have shown to be dysregulated in GD. This review aims to outline biomarkers potentially associated with the pathophysiology of GD and discuss the role of integrating predictive biomarkers in current clinical risk prediction models, in order to enhance the identification of those at risk.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy and it affects 18% of pregnant women worldwide. GDM is considered a high-risk state which may lead to type II diabetes which is associated with an increase in a number of interrelated adverse perinatal outcomes. Given the fact that the progress of a successful pregnancy is dependent on the intricate communication between several biological molecules, identification of the proteomic profile perturbations in women with GDM is expected to help in understanding the disease pathogenesis and also discovery of clinical biomarker(s). In recent years, both gel-free and gel-based proteomics have been extensively investigated for improving maternal and child health. Although there are several reports integrating various aspects of proteomics in pregnancy related diseases such as preeclampsia, extensive Pubmed search shows no review so far on the application of proteomics in gestational diabetes. In this review, we focus on various high-throughput proteomic technologies for the identification of unique biosignatures and biomarkers responsible for the early prediction of GDM. Further, different analytical strategies and biological samples involved in proteomic analysis of this pregnancy-related disease are discussed.This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Proteomics in India.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a complication of pregnancy that is characterized by impaired glucose tolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. The reported prevalence of GDM varies between 0.6% and 20% of pregnancies depending on screening method, gestational age and the population studied. GDM is characterized by pancreatic β-cell function that is insufficient to meet the body's insulin needs. Available evidence suggests that β-cell defects in GDM result from the same spectrum of causes that underline hyperglycemia in general, including autoimmune disease, monogenic causes and insulin resistance. Adipokines are proteins secreted from the adipocytes and are believed to have a metabolic influence. Our review suggests that, in GDM, various adipokines, mainly leptin and adiponectin, are dysregulated. These two adipokines might have both prognostic and pathophysiological significance in this disease.
