Association between Circulating Irisin and C-Reactive Protein Levels: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Although previous studies have demonstrated that irisin plays an anti-inflammatory role in the body, conflicting results have been reported regarding the correlation between serum levels of irisin and C-reactive protein (CRP). The present meta-analysis was conducted to further investigate the correlation between irisin and CRP levels. METHODS:We systematically searched PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, SCOPUS, and Ovid to retrieve studies assessing the correlation between irisin and CRP levels. Meta-analyses were performed using a random-effects model, and the I² index was used to evaluate heterogeneity. RESULTS:Of the 428 studies that were initially found, 14 studies with 2,530 participants met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. The pooled effect size was calculated as 0.052 (95% confidence interval, -0.047 to 0.152; P=0.302). Subgroup analyses identified s ignificant, positive, but weak correlations between CRP and irisin levels in cohort studies, studies conducted among healthy participants, studies in which the male-to-female ratio was less than 1, in overweight or obese subjects, and in studies with a sample size of at least 100 participants. CONCLUSION:The present meta-analysis found no overall significant correlation between irisin and CRP levels, although a significant positive correlation was found in overweight or obese subjects. Well-designed studies are needed to verify the results of the present meta-analysis.

Project description:ObjectiveThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association between circulating irisin levels and osteoporosis in women, exploring irisin's potential role in the pathophysiology and management of osteoporosis.MethodWe searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang, and VIP databases up to January 2023. The inclusion criteria were observational studies reporting on circulating irisin levels in women. The standardized mean difference (SMD) and correlation coefficients with a 95% confidence interval (CI) were used as the main effect measures under a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was evaluated using the Cochrane Q statistic and the I2 statistics. Subgroup analysis and univariate meta-regression analysis were performed to identify the sources of heterogeneity. The quality of the included study was assessed by the Newcastle-Ottawa Score. The quality of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE system. Publication bias was assessed using Begg's and Egger's test, and the trim-and-fill method. Sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the stability of the results.ResultsFifteen studies with a total of 2856 participants met the criteria. The analysis showed significantly lower irisin levels in postmenopausal osteoporotic women compared to non-osteoporotic controls (SMD = -1.66, 95% CI: -2.43 to -0.89, P < 0.0001; I2 = 98%, P < 0.00001) and in postmenopausal individuals with osteoporotic fractures than in non-fractures controls (SMD = -1.25, 95% CI: -2.15 to -0.34, P = 0.007; I2 = 97%, P < 0.00001). Correlation analysis revealed that irisin levels positively correlated with lumbar spine BMD (r = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.18 to 0.54), femoral BMD (r = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.18 to 0.42), and femoral neck BMD (r = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.14 to 0.47) in women. Despite significant heterogeneity, the robustness of the results was supported by using the random effects model and sensitivity analysis.ConclusionThe current evidence suggests that lower irisin levels are significantly associated with osteoporosis and fracture in postmenopausal women, suggesting its utility as a potential biomarker for early detection of osteoporosis and therapeutic target. However, further high-quality prospective research controlling for confounding factors is needed to clarify the relationship between irisin levels and osteoporotic outcomes.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO, identifier CRD42023410264.

Project description:BackgroundAs a product of adipose tissue, resistin exceeds other adipokines in its role in regulating appetite, energy expenditure, insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and immunity, similar to thyroid hormones. This study aimed to evaluate the association between resistin levels and thyroid dysfunction and to explore variations in circulating resistin levels before and after treatment for thyroid dysfunction.MethodsThis study was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis statement. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases was conducted until June 15, 2022, with no start date restriction, according to the preregistered protocol (PROSPERO-CRD42022336617). RevMan version 5.4 and R software package version 4.2.0 were used for statistical analyses.ResultsFourteen studies with 1716 participants were included in this study. The findings of the meta-analysis confirmed that the resistin levels of patients with thyroid dysfunction were significantly higher than those of the euthyroid function control group (mean difference [MD] = 2.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.11-3.11, P < 0.00001). Furthermore, the resistin levels of patients with hyperthyroidism (MD = 3.23, 95% CI = 0.68-5.79, P = 0.01) and subclinical hypoidism (MD = 1.37, 95% CI = 0.31-2.42, P = 0.01) were significantly higher than those of euthyroid controls. The resistin levels of patients with thyroid dysfunction after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (MD = 1.00, 95% CI = 0.34-1.65, P = 0.003), especially in patients with hyperthyroidism (MD = 2.16, 95% CI = 1.00-3.32, P = 0.0003). Correlation analysis confirmed a positive correlation between resistin levels and free triiodothyronine (FT3) levels in patients with thyroid dysfunction (r = 0.27578, P = 0.001).ConclusionsOur meta-analysis demonstrates that resistin levels are significantly higher in patients with thyroid dysfunction, and the resistin levels after treatment in patients with thyroid dysfunction are significantly lower than those before treatment. Correlation analysis shows a positive correlation between resistin levels and FT3 levels in patients with thyroid dysfunction.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42022336617.

Project description:BackgroundC1q tumor necrosis factor (TNF) related proteins 9 (CTRP9) is a novel adipocytokine that has been shown to have a cardioprotective effect in coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there are conflicting results on circulating levels of CTRP9 in patients with and without CAD. This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the association between circulating CTRP9 levels and CAD.ObjectiveThe aim of this meta-analysis was to re-examine the relationship between circulating CTRP9 levels and CAD.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, and CBM for relevant studies up to October 2023, and 193 articles were identified. After reading the title, abstract and full text, a total of 25 articles were included in this meta-analysis. A prespecified protocol registered at INPLASY was followed (INPLASY202450066). Due to the high heterogeneity, we performed subgroup analyses and meta-regression based on patient characteristics, complications, clinical biochemical indicators, coronary artery lesion, and CAD classification. Publication bias was assessed using Egger's linear regression tests, Begg's rank correlation tests, and funnel plots.ResultsThe results showed that the patient with CAD had significantly lower circulating CTRP9 levels than the control group (Z = 3.26, P = 0.001). Subgroup analysis and meta-regression findings demonstrated that observed heterogeneity could be attributed to population distribution. Patient characteristics (year of publication, patients' age, and BMI), complications (diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)), clinical biochemical indicators, coronary artery lesion (stability of coronary atherosclerotic plaque, and the number of diseased coronary vessels), and classification of CAD were not identified as source of heterogeneity.ConclusionsThe meta-analysis confirmed that circulating CTRP9 levels in CAD patients are significantly lower than those in patients without CAD. The association may be modified by the population distribution.
