Evaluation of the adipokine profile (adiponectin, resistin, adipsin, vaspin, and leptin) in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis and its correlation with disease activity

Introduction Adipokines may play a role in the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis. This study evaluated the performance of adipokines in a Colombian population with early rheumatoid arthritis and its relationship with disease activity.

description Introduction Adipokines may play a role in the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis. This study evaluated the performance of adipokines in a Colombian population with early rheumatoid arthritis and its relationship with disease activity. Material and methods A cross-sectional study evaluated serum adipokine levels (adiponectin, resistin, adipsin, vaspin, and leptin) in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (eRA), evaluating demographic and clinical variables, along with a control group matched by age and gender. A factorial analysis was performed using principal components analysis (PCA), and a Spearman correlation analysis was performed. Similarly, a cut-off point for serum levels is proposed based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve between eRA and controls and sensitivity analysis. Results Fifty-one eRA subjects were included; there were 41 women. The body mass index (BMI) was 25.12 ±3.8. A statistically significant correlation was identified between adipsin, BMI, and RAPID3. Vaspin and leptin were correlated with BMI. Resistin levels were higher in patients with RAPID3 near remission (p = 0.041), and adiponectin, vaspin, and leptin levels were lower in patients with DAS28 ESR in remission (p = 0.033, p = 0.012, and p = 0.017, respectively). Principal components analysis in component 1 adipokines as adipsin and leptin with BMI and RAPID3 as disease activity index are grouped. Moreover, component 2 had a strong relation between ESR and CRP with an inverse correlation with cholesterol levels and vaspin. A cut-off point was established for each adipokine, thus identifying the best performance for leptin levels greater than 0.58 ng/ml with a sensitivity of 76.5% and specificity of 74.5%. Conclusions Adipokine levels are relevant in eRA, especially with disease activity indexes. Resistin levels were higher in patients with an activity index near remission. Otherwise, adiponectin, vaspin, and leptin levels were lower in patients with low activity indexes. RAPID3 correlated with adipsin. It is complementary to the previously published analysis of adipokines.
