Abstract
Objetive: Serum and dietary vitamin D could influence clinical disease activity and cardiometabolic outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study aimed to assess the relationship of serum and dietary vitamin D with cardiometabolic risk in Mexican SLE patients and healthy subjects (HS).Methods: 224 SLE patients and 201 HS were included in this cross-sectional study. Serum calcidiol was measured using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Vitamin D dietary intake was assessed by collecting three 24h food records. Dietary patterns (DPs) were identified using principal component analysis (PCA). Cardiometabolic status was analyzed through biochemical measurements and cardiometabolic indexes.Results: Calcidiol deficiency (<20 ng/mL) was associated with 1.66-fold higher risk of excess weight by body mass index (BMI) (≥25 kg/m2) (p = .02), 2.25-fold higher risk to low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (<40 mg/dL) (p < .001), and 1.74-fold higher risk to high triglycerides (TG) ≥150 mg/dL (p = .02). Inadequate vitamin D dietary intake was associated with 1.92-fold higher risk of presenting non-healthy waist circumference (WC) (>80 cm) (p < .01), 2.05-fold higher risk of android waist to hip ratio (WHR ≥85) (p < .01), and 1.72-fold higher risk to excess weight (p = .02). Non-adherence to a DP rich in vitamin D food sources was associated with higher WC, WHR, triglycerides, and lower high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C); furthermore, in HS, non-adherence to the DP rich in vitamin D food sources provided 2.11-fold higher risk to calcidiol deficiency.In Cconclusion: A pattern of Calcidiol deficiency, inadequate vitamin D dietary intake, and non-adherence to a DP rich in vitamin D food sources was related to high cardiometabolic risk in SLE patients and HS.

Abstract
Having increased popularity during the Covid-19 pandemic, vitamin D3 is currently impressing thanks to the numerous researches aimed at its interactions with the body's homeostasis. At the same time, there is a peak in terms of recommendations for supplementation with it. Some of the studies focus on the link between autoimmune diseases and nutritional deficiencies, especially vitamin D3. Since the specialized literature aimed at children (patients between 0-18 years old) is far from equal to the informational diversity of the adult-centered branch, this review aims to bring up to date the relationship between the microbial and nutritional balance and the activity of pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE). The desired practical purpose resides in a better understanding and an adequate, individualized management of the affected persons to reduce morbidity. The center of the summary is to establish the impact of hypovitaminosis D in the development and evolution of pediatric lupus erythematosus. We will address aspects related to the two entities of the impact played by vitamin D3 in the pathophysiological cascade of lupus, but also the risk of toxicity and its effects when the deficiency is over supplemented (hypervitaminosis D). We will debate the relationship of hypovitaminosis D with the modulation of immune function, the potentiation of inflammatory processes, the increase of oxidative stress, the perfusion of cognitive brain areas, the seasonal incidence of SLE and its severity. Finally, we review current knowledge, post-pandemic, regarding the hypovitaminosis D - pSLE relationship.

Abstract
Background Obesity-induced dyslipidemia is one of the main factors contributing to morbidity and mortality associated with metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Objectives This research aimed to assess the effect of adding laser acupuncture therapy (LAT) to a Pilates exercise program (PEP) and low-calorie diet protocol (LCDP) on blood lipids among 60 obese women with SLE. Methods Study participants were women aged between 23 and 49 years, randomly assigned to one of two groups, A or B, each comprising 30 women. In addition to adherence to the LCDP, both groups were supervised five times weekly during 50-minute PEP sessions. Group A also received LAT three times weekly, with each session lasting 2 minutes on selected acupoints. After the 12-week intervention, plasma total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein were assessed. Results Both groups demonstrated significant improvement in the aforementioned lipids after the 12-week intervention. A comparison between the post-intervention values of the lipids in the groups revealed a significant improvement favoring group A (the group that received LAT). Conclusion Adding a 12-week LAT regimen to PEP and LCDP significantly improved lipid profiles among 60 obese women with SLE.

Abstract
The influence of environmental factors on the development of autoimmune disease is being broadly investigated to better understand the multifactorial nature of autoimmune pathogenesis and to identify potential areas of intervention. Areas of particular interest include the influence of lifestyle, nutrition, and vitamin deficiencies on autoimmunity and chronic inflammation. In this review, we discuss how particular lifestyles and dietary patterns may contribute to or modulate autoimmunity. We explored this concept through a spectrum of several autoimmune diseases including Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Alopecia Areata (AA) affecting the central nervous system, whole body, and the hair follicles, respectively. A clear commonality between the autoimmune conditions of interest here is low Vitamin D, a well-researched hormone in the context of autoimmunity with pleiotropic immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. While low levels are often correlated with disease activity and progression in MS and AA, the relationship is less clear in SLE. Despite strong associations with autoimmunity, we lack conclusive evidence which elucidates its role in contributing to pathogenesis or simply as a result of chronic inflammation. In a similar vein, other vitamins impacting the development and course of these diseases are explored in this review, and overall diet and lifestyle. Recent work exploring the effects of dietary interventions on MS showed that a balanced diet was linked to improvement in clinical parameters, comorbid conditions, and overall quality of life for patients. In patients with MS, SLE and AA, certain diets and supplements are linked to lower incidence and improved symptoms. Conversely, obesity during adolescence was linked with higher incidence of MS while in SLE it was associated with organ damage. Autoimmunity is thought to emerge from the complex interplay between environmental factors and genetic background. Although the scope of this review focuses on environmental factors, it is imperative to elaborate the interaction between genetic susceptibility and environment due to the multifactorial origin of these disease. Here, we offer a comprehensive review about the influence of recent environmental and lifestyle factors on these autoimmune diseases and potential translation into therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, the effects of toxic metals in PM2.5 on cardiovascular health remain unknown. To investigate the early cardiovascular effects of specific PM2.5 metal constituents at the personal level, we conducted a panel study on 45 healthy college students in Caofeidian, China. Personal exposure concentrations and cardiovascular effect markers were monitored simultaneously within one year in four study periods. Four linear mixed-effects models were used to analyze the relationship between personal exposure to PM2.5 and 15 metal fractions (Al, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Sb, and Pb) with soluble CD36 (sCD36), C-reactive protein (CRP), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OX-LDL) levels, heart rate, and blood pressure. The concentrations of most individual metals (Mn, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Cd, Sb and Pb) were the highest in winter. Meanwhile, there were significant differences in inflammatory (sCD36 and CRP) and oxidative stress (OX-LDL) markers in the serum of participants over the four seasons. In particular, the estimated effects of personal metal exposure (such as V, As, Se, Cd, and Pb) on sCD36 and pulse pressure (PP) levels were consistently significant across the four LME models. A significant mediating role of sCD36 was also found in the relationship between personal exposure to Zn and Cr and changes in PP levels. Our findings provide clues and potential mechanisms regarding the cardiovascular effects of specific toxic constituents of PM2.5 in healthy young adults.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic pathology characterized by a bimodal mortality pattern attributed to clinical disease activity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). A complex interaction between traditional CVD risk factors such as obesity, dyslipidemia, smoking, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension, as well as the presence of non-traditional CVD risk factors such as hyperhomocysteinemia, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and C-reactive protein levels, has been suggested as a cause of the high prevalence of CVD in SLE patients. On the other hand, environmental factors, such as nutritional status, could influence the disease's prognosis; several nutrients have immunomodulators, antioxidants, and anti-cardiometabolic risk properties which could reduce SLE severity and organ damage by decreasing the development of traditional and non-traditional CVD risk factors. Therefore, this critical literature review discusses the therapeutic potential of nutritional approaches that could modulate the development of the main comorbidities related to CVD risk in SLE patients.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the prototypical autoimmune disease considered as an independent risk factor for mortality by cardiovascular disease. Currently, uric acid is described as a novel biomarker associated with cardiometabolic risk. However, nutritional and serum determinants that influence hyperuricemia development in autoimmune diseases have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to assess the nutritional, biochemical, and cardiometabolic determinants of hyperuricemia and its relationship with clinical variables in SLE patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 167 SLE patients and 195 control subjects (CS). Nutrient intake, anthropometry, biochemical, and cardiometabolic indexes were evaluated. In SLE patients, adequate protein (OR = 0.4; p = 0.04) and carbohydrate (OR = 0.2; p = 0.01) intakes were associated with a lower risk of hyperuricemia. SLE patients with hyperuricemia presented a higher risk of clinical (OR = 2.2; p = 0.03) and renal activity (OR = 3.4; p < 0.01), as well as triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL (OR = 3.6; p < 0.01), hs-CRP ≥1 mg/L (OR = 3.1; p < 0.01), Kannel score ≥3 (OR = 2.5; p = 0.02), and BMI ≥25 kg/m2 (OR = 2.2; p = 0.02). Oppositely, serum levels of HDL-C ≥40 mg/dL (OR = 0.2; p < 0.01) were associated with a lower risk of hyperuricemia. According to the pharmacotherapy administered, prednisone treatment was associated with a high risk of hyperuricemia (OR = 4.7; p < 0.001). In contrast, the hydroxychloroquine treatment was associated with a lower risk of hyperuricemia (OR = 0.4; p = 0.02). In conclusion, SLE patients with hyperuricemia presented a high risk of clinical and renal activity as well as worse cardiometabolic status. Notably, an adequate intake of protein, carbohydrates, healthy HDL-C serum levels, and hydroxychloroquine treatment could be determinants of lower risk of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) constitute a set of connective tissue disorders and dysfunctions with akin clinical manifestations and autoantibody responses. AIRD treatment is based on a comprehensive approach, with the primary aim being achieving and attaining disease remission, through the control of inflammation. AIRD therapies have a low target specificity, and this usually propels metabolic disturbances, dyslipidemias and increased cardiovascular risk. Ceramides are implicated in inflammation through several different pathways, many of which sometimes intersect. They serve as signaling molecules for apoptosis, altering immune response and driving endothelial dysfunction and as regulators in the production of other molecules, including sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and ceramide 1-phosphate (C1P). With lipid metabolism being severely altered in AIRD pathology, several studies show that the concentration and variety of ceramides in human tissues is altered in patients with rheumatic diseases compared to controls. As a result, many in vitro and some in vivo (animal) studies research the potential use of ceramides as therapeutic targets in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, fibromyalgia syndrome, primary Sjögren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, myositis, systemic vasculitis and psoriatic arthritis. Furthermore, the majority of ceramide synthesis is diet-centric and, as a result, dietary interventions may alter ceramide concentrations in the blood and affect health. Subsequently, more recently several clinical trials evaluated the possibility of distinct dietary patterns and nutrients to act as anti-ceramide regimes in humans. With nutrition being an important component of AIRD-related complications, the present review details the evidence regarding ceramide levels in patients with AIRDs, the results of anti-ceramide treatments and discusses the possibility of using medical nutritional therapy as a complementary anti-ceramide treatment in rheumatic disease.

Abstract
Fertility is often a concern for women with SLE. In addition to known indirect factors that influence the ability of a woman with SLE to become pregnant, such as cytotoxic agents, other medications, advanced age and psychosocial effects of the disease, direct disease-related factors are believed to influence fertility. These include diminished ovarian reserve, menstrual irregularities (a function of disease activity) and the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. The question of whether SLE intrinsically affects fertility, however, remains unanswered. In this review, we address known factors affecting fertility, assess current data regarding a direct impact of SLE on fertility and evaluate potential disease-related risk factors. We focus primarily on studies measuring anti-Müllerian hormone and antral follicle count, the most widely measured markers of ovarian reserve. Our goal is to provide information to rheumatologists faced with counselling patients with SLE regarding their fertility, family planning and options for assisted reproductive technologies, which now include fertility preservation through oocyte cryopreservation.

Obesity, Diabetes, and Cardiovascular Risk Burden in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Current Approaches and Knowledge Gaps-A Rapid Scoping Review. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:14768.

Abstract
Obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular risk are real challenges in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) clinical practice and research. The evidence of the burden of these health problems in SLE patients is determined by the methods used to assess them. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review is to map current approaches in assessing obesity, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular risk burden in SLE patients and to identify existing knowledge gaps in this field. This rapid scoping review was conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and identified 274 articles, of which 73 were included. Most studies were conducted at European institutions and patients were recruited from specialist hospital clinics, the majority of whom were women. The burden of obesity and diabetes mellitus for SLE patients was assessed mainly in terms of prevalence, impact on disease activity, and cardiometabolic risk. The burden of cardiovascular risk was assessed using multiple approaches, mainly imaging and laboratory methods, and risk factor-based scores, although there is great heterogeneity and uncertainty between the methods used. This review highlights the importance of improving and standardizing the approach to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular risk in SLE patients through a holistic assessment that includes lifestyle, clinical, biological, and social aspects.

Effects of high fat diet-induced obesity on pathophysiology, immune cells, and therapeutic efficacy in systemic lupus erythematosus. Sci Rep 2022; 12:18532. [PMID: 36323742 PMCID: PMC9630451 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-21381-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Prior studies have suggested a strong link between obesity and autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity on the disease pathogenesis, immune cell infiltration, and therapeutic efficacy in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Treatment with methylprednisolone significantly increased the survival in the control diet group, but not in the HFD group. An HFD significantly increased the incidence of severe proteinuria and glucose intolerance. Regardless of the diet, treatment with methylprednisolone significantly decreased the serum levels of anti-dsDNA antibodies, IL-2, IL-10, and interferon γ-induced protein 10 (IP-10), and improved the renal pathology scores. Treatment with methylprednisolone significantly lowered the serum levels of IL-6, MCP-1, and TNF-α in the control diet group, but not in the HFD group. HFD significantly increased the proportions of CD45+ and M1 cells and significantly decreased the proportion of M2 cells in white adipose tissue; methylprednisolone treatment significantly rescued this effect. In the HFD group, methylprednisolone treatment significantly decreased the M1:M2 and increased the Foxp3+:RORγt+ cell in the spleen compared with the untreated group. These data improve our understanding of the effect of HFD on the therapeutic efficacy of corticosteroids in SLE treatment, which could have clinical implications.

Abstract
Objective Anemia is common in patients with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE). While autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is the only etiology included in the classification criteria, the etiology of anemia in jSLE may be diverse. We aimed to investigate the etiology of anemia in jSLE and the relationship between anemia and disease characteristics at onset and during the follow-up period. Methods Patients diagnosed with jSLE who met the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus International Collaborating Clinics classification criteria between January 2012 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Hematologic involvement was observed in 70% of the patients. Anemia was the most common cytopenia among patients (60%). Anemia of chronic disease (ACD) and AIHA were the most common etiological factors, both observed in 23% of patients. Patients with anemia had a significantly higher rate of positive ds-DNA antibody and higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESH) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) scores. ESH, serum ferritin, and SLEDAI scores negatively correlated with hemoglobin levels in patients with anemia. Iron deficiency was the sole etiology of new-onset anemia. Patients with new-onset anemia during the follow-up period had significantly lower hemoglobin values at onset and a higher rate of renal involvement. Conclusion Anemia in jSLE is mostly AIHA and ACD, but iron deficiency is not rare. The severity of inflammation is associated with the severity of anemia. During the follow-up period, iron deficiency was the predominant cause of anemia, especially in patients with lower hemoglobin concentrations at onset and renal involvement.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients have a higher frequency of cardiovascular risk factors such as high C-reactive protein (CRP) levels than the general population. CRP is considered a cardiovascular disease marker that could be related to SLE clinical disease activity. This study aimed to assess the association between CRP with cardiometabolic risk and clinical disease activity in SLE patients. A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in 176 female SLE patients and 175 control subjects (CS) with median ages of 38 and 33 years, respectively; SLE patients were classified by the 1997 SLE-ACR criteria, and the clinical disease activity by the Mexican-SLEDAI (Mex-SLEDAI). CRP and lipid profile (triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL-C, and LDL-C) were quantified by turbidimetry and colorimetric-enzymatic assays, respectively. SLE patients had higher CRP levels than CS (SLE: 5 mg/L vs. CS = 1.1 mg/L; p < 0.001). In SLE patients, CRP levels ≥ 3 mg/L were associated with a higher risk of cardiometabolic risk status assessed by LAP index (OR = 3.01; IC: 1.04−8.7; p = 0.04), triglycerides/HDL-C index (OR = 5.2; IC: 2.1−12.8; p < 0.001), Kannel index (OR = 3.1; IC: 1.1−8.1; p = 0.03), Castelli index (OR = 6.6; IC: 2.5−17.8; p < 0.001), and high clinical disease activity (OR = 2.5: IC: 1.03−6.2; p = 0.04; and β coefficient = 5.8; IC: 2.5−9.4; R2 = 0.15; p = 0.001). In conclusion, high CRP levels were associated with high cardiometabolic risk and clinical disease activity in SLE patients.

J Lifestyle Med 2022; 12:37-46. [PMID: 35300036 PMCID: PMC8918379 DOI: 10.15280/jlm.2022.12.1.37] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background We aimed to identify and describe different types of lifestyle interventions primarily or secondarily focused on weight loss in SLE patients. Methods A systematic search of controlled trials published until June 2021 that assigned adults patients after dietary or exercise intervention resulted in 248 studies initially screened. Results Six studies with seven interventions (3 dietary and 4 exercise training programs) fulfilled the eligibility criteria and were included in the meta-analysis with a median of age 35.8 (31.3 to 49.0 years); median of BMI 26.6 (25.2 to 33.6 kg/m2). After six to twelve weeks of diet or exercise program, no differences were observed in body weight [-1.539 (-4.482 to 1.405) kg (CI 95%), p = 0.306]. Also, a subgroup analysis also revelated no body weight difference following dietary intervention [-3.561 (-9.604 to 2.481) kg (CI 95%), p = 0.248] or exercise intervention [-0.910 (-4.279 to 2.460) kg (CI 95%), p = 0.597]. Conclusion The results showed that different protocols of exercise intervention or diets were not effective to reduce body weight in patients with SLE. However, only one of the selected trials had a specific study design and protocol focusing on weight loss management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Previous studies have reported that patients affected by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are interested in using diet to treat fatigue, cardiovascular disease and other symptoms. However, to date, there is insufficient information regarding the ways for patients to modify their diet to improve SLE symptoms. We investigated the relationship between the eating patterns of SLE patients and their self-reported disease symptoms and general aspects of health. METHODS A UK-based, online survey was developed, in which patients with SLE were asked about their attitudes and experiences regarding their SLE symptoms and diet. RESULTS The majority (>80%) of respondents that undertook new eating patterns with increased vegetable intake and/or decreased intake of processed food, sugar, gluten, dairy and carbohydrates reported benefiting from their dietary change. Symptom severity ratings after these dietary changes were significantly lower than before (21.3% decrease, p<0.0001). The greatest decreases in symptom severity were provided by low/no dairy (27.1% decrease), low/no processed foods (26.6% decrease) and vegan (26% decrease) eating patterns (p<0.0001). Weight loss, fatigue, joint/muscle pain and mood were the most cited symptoms that improved with dietary change. CONCLUSION SLE patients who changed their eating patterns to incorporate more plant-based foods while limiting processed foods and animal products reported improvements in their disease symptoms. Thus, our findings show promises in using nutrition interventions for the management of SLE symptoms, setting the scene for future clinical trials in this area. Randomised studies are needed to further test whether certain dietary changes are effective for improving specific symptoms of SLE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus present with a higher number of classic risk factors for coronary diseases and a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome resulting from the disease itself. To evaluate the nutritional indicators of the cardiovascular risk of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus by analyzing eating habits, anthropometry, laboratory data, and disease activity and to describe the prevalence of patients fulfilling the criteria for metabolic syndrome. METHODS Anthropometric measurements including waist circumference, food recall, and laboratory tests. RESULTS The population presented an insufficient daily intake of micronutrients. Anthropometry revealed that 37.5% of the patients were classified with degree II obesity by body mass index and 76.8% by abdominal obesity. Regarding metabolic syndrome, 18 patients (16%) fulfilled the diagnostic criteria. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus presented with increased risk factors, as determined using anthropometric measurements and laboratory tests, for cardiovascular disease, indicating the need for nutritional guidance in this population to reduce cardiovascular risk, increase the quality of life, and increase survival of these patients.

Abstract
One of the micronutrients that has attracted the most attention in relation to COVID-19 is vitamin D. Although several factors affect its sufficiency; it has been argued that an optimal diet can ensure the intake of micronutrients with effects on immune response. Therefore, in this work we aimed to evaluate the food intake quality of SARS-CoV-2 positive Mexican patients and some of the common factors related to vitamin D deficiency. We conducted a cross-sectional study in 40 SARS-CoV-2 positive patients. Serum samples and clinical parameters were collected. Micronutrient intake and food intake quality were assessed with a 24-h dietary recall and the Mini-ECCA v.2, respectively. Thirty-eight percent of the sample had a healthy food intake. The median 25(OH)D concentration was 22.7 ng/mL. A considerable insufficient intake of micronutrients with immunomodulatory effects such as vitamin D (p < 0.0001), vitamin E (p < 0.0001), and zinc (p < 0.0001) was shown. Patients with 25(OH)D sufficiency, defined as a concentration >30 ng/mL, had better food intake quality (p = 0.02) and an intense physical activity (p = 0.03). In conclusion, a better level of food intake quality and intense physical activity are associated with 25(OH)D sufficiency in SARS-CoV-2 positive Mexican patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Observational epidemiological studies have reported an inconsistent relation between iron status and risk of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Moreover, it remains uncertain whether the observed association is causal or due to confounding or reverse causality. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the association between serum iron status and risk of SLE using a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. METHODS Genetic instruments for iron status including serum iron, log-transformed ferritin, transferrin saturation, and transferrin were identified from a large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) performed by the Genetics of Iron Status Consortium among 48,972 individuals of European ancestry (55% female). Three independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs1800562, rs1799945, and rs855791) concordantly related with 4 iron status biomarkers were selected as instrumental variables. Summary statistics of SLE were obtained from a publicly available GWAS of 4036 patients with SLE and 6959 controls of European descent. The MR study was conducted using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method, supplemented with MR-Egger regression and simple- and weighted-median methods. Leave-one-out analysis was further performed to test the robustness of our findings. ORs with 95% CIs were calculated. RESULTS Genetically predicted iron status was associated with altered risk of SLE, with ORs of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.66, 0.94), 0.54 (95% CI: 0.34, 0.85), 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71, 0.94), and 1.36 (95% CI: 1.06, 1.76) per 1-SD increase in iron, log-transformed ferritin, transferrin saturation, and transferrin using the IVW method, respectively. MR-Egger regression did not indicate potential pleiotropic bias. Sensitivity analyses produced similar findings, suggesting the robustness of the association. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that high iron status may be associated with a reduced risk of SLE among European populations. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the mechanism underlying the protective role of iron against susceptibility to SLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several mechanisms have been proposed for the effect of vitamin E on weight loss. Yet various interventional studies with wide ranges of doses and durations have reported contradictory results. METHODS Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases were searched up to December 2020. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effect method. Effect size was presented as weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Heterogeneity was evaluated using the I2 index. In order to identification of potential sources of heterogeneity, predefined subgroup and meta regression analyses was conducted. RESULTS A total of 24 studies with 33 data sets were included. There was no significant effect of vitamin E on weight (WMD: 0.15, 95% CI: -1.35 to 1.65, P = 0.847), body mass index (BMI) (WMD = 0.04, 95% CI: -0.29 to 0.37, P = 0.815), and waist circumference (WC) (WMD = -0.19 kg, 95% CI: -2.06 to 1.68, P = 0.842), respectively. However, subgroup analysis revealed that vitamin E supplementation in studies conducted on participants with normal BMI (18.5-24.9) had increasing impact on BMI (P = 0.047). CONCLUSION There was no significant effect of vitamin E supplementation on weight, BMI and WC. However, vitamin E supplementation might be associated with increasing BMI in people with normal BMI (18.5-24.9).

Abstract
Cardiometabolic status is a key factor in mortality by cardiovascular disease (CVD) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study evaluated the association of cardiometabolic risk status with clinical activity and damage in SLE patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 158 SLE patients and 123 healthy subjects (HS). Anthropometry, glucose, hs-CRP, lipid profile, oxLDL, sCD36, anti-oxLDL antibodies, and cardiometabolic indexes were evaluated. SLE patients had dyslipidemia, higher sCD36, anti-oxLDL antibodies, hs-CRP, and risk (OR > 2) to present Castelli score ≥ 4.5, HDL-C < 40 mg/dL and LDL-C ≥ 100 mg/dL. Disease evolution time was correlated with glucose and BMI, damage with TG, and clinical activity with TG, TG/HDL-C ratio, and Kannel index. Active SLE patients had risk (OR > 2) to present a Castelli score ≥ 4.5, Kannel score ≥ 3, TG/HDL-C ratio ≥ 3 and HDL-C < 40 mg/dL. In conclusion, SLE patients have high cardiometabolic risk to CVD related to disease evolution time, and clinical activity.

Abstract
Lupus nephritis represents a common and serious complication of the autoimmune disease Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Clinical studies suggest that several proteins related to iron metabolism, including transferrin, serve as urinary biomarkers of lupus nephritis. We previously reported that in female NZBWF1 mice, a commonly used mouse model of SLE with a female sex bias, increased urinary transferrin excretion and renal iron accumulation occur around the onset of albuminuria. The current study investigated whether similar findings occur in male mice of a different mouse model of SLE, the MRL/lpr mouse. Two different cohorts were studied: MRL/lpr mice at an early, pre-albuminuric age (8 weeks), and after developing albuminuria (>100 mg/dL, confirmed by ELISA); age-matched MRL/MpJ control strain mice served for comparison. Urinary transferrin excretion was dramatically increased in the older, albuminuric MRL/lpr mice compared to the age-matched MRL/MpJ (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between strains at 8 weeks of age. Similarly, there were no significant differences between strains in renal cortical or outer medullary non-heme iron concentrations at 8 weeks. In the older, albuminuric MRL/lpr mice, renal cortical and outer medullary non-heme iron concentrations were significantly increased compared with age-matched MRL/MpJ mice, as was the expression of the iron storage protein ferritin (P < 0.01). Together, these data show that increased urinary transferrin excretion and renal tissue iron accumulation also occurs in albuminuric male MRL/lpr mice, suggesting that renal iron accumulation may be a feature of multiple mouse models of SLE.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by multiple organ involvement, including the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, central nervous system and the haematopoietic system, with a large number of complications. Despite years of study, the etiology of SLE remains unclear; thus, safe and specifically targeted therapies are lacking. In the last 20 years, researchers have explored the potential of nutritional factors on SLE and have suggested complementary treatment options through diet. This study systematically reviews and evaluates the clinical and preclinical scientific evidence of diet and dietary supplementation that either alleviate or exacerbate the symptoms of SLE. For this review, a systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases only for articles written in the English language. Based on the currently published literature, it was observed that a low-calorie and low-protein diet with high contents of fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and polyphenols contain sufficient potential macronutrients and micronutrients to regulate the activity of the overall disease by modulating the inflammation and immune functions of SLE.
