Acute Glycemic Control in Prediabetes Individuals Favorably Alters Serum NLRP3 Inflammasome and Related Interleukins

Hyperglycemia associated with prediabetes (PD) alters NLRP3 inflammasome activity and related interleukins, yet no study has evaluated the expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex and related interleukins in individuals with a PD condition that did or did not develop type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2...

description Hyperglycemia associated with prediabetes (PD) alters NLRP3 inflammasome activity and related interleukins, yet no study has evaluated the expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome complex and related interleukins in individuals with a PD condition that did or did not develop type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study investigated the effect of 6 months of lifestyle modification on the expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and related interleukins (1α, 1β, 18, 33 and 37) in the sera of individuals with a PD condition that did or did not develop T2DM. This interventional study included 67 Saudi adults (mean age = 41.9 ± 8.0 years, mean BMI = 33.2 ± 5.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup>). Overnight-fasting serum samples were collected at baseline and at the 6-month follow-up. Serum levels of NLRP3, capsase-1 and related ILs were analyzed at both visits using commercially available immunoassay kits. Results showed that IL-1α increased in the PD group that developed T2DM (<i>p</i> = 0.046), IL-33 decreased in the PD group that reverted to normal (<i>p</i> < 0.001) and NLRP3 decreased in the PD group that remained PD (<i>p</i> = 0.01). Results also showed a positive over-time correlation between NLRP3 and both IL-1α and IL-33 (<i>p</i> < 0.001 and <i>p</i> = 0.028, respectively). In conclusion, glycemic control favorably altered NLRP3 inflammasome complex activity, and lifestyle modification in PD individuals is crucial in reversing harmful metabolic and inflammatory phenotypes.
