Glycosylation of IgG Associates with Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Comorbidity in the Chinese Muslim Ethnic Minorities and the Han Chinese.


ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus comorbidity (HDC) is common, which confers a higher risk of cardiovascular disease than the presence of either condition alone. Describing the underlying glycomic changes of immunoglobulin G (IgG) that predispose individuals to HDC may help develop novel protective immune-targeted and anti-inflammatory therapies. Therefore, we investigated glycosylation changes of IgG associated with HDC.

Methods

The IgG N-glycan profiles of 883 plasma samples from the three northwestern Chinese Muslim ethnic minorities and the Han Chinese were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography instrument.

Results

We found that 12 and six IgG N-glycan traits showed significant associations with HDC in the Chinese Muslim ethnic minorities and the Han Chinese, respectively, after adjustment for potential confounders and false discovery rate. Adding the IgG N-glycan traits to the baseline models, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of the combined models differentiating HDC from hypertension (HTN), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and healthy individuals were 0.717, 0.747, and 0.786 in the pooled samples of Chinese Muslim ethnic minorities, and 0.828, 0.689, and 0.901 in the Han Chinese, respectively, showing improved discriminating performance than both the baseline models and the glycan-based models.

Conclusion

Altered IgG N-glycan profiles were shown to associate with HDC, suggesting the involvement of inflammatory processes of IgG glycosylation. The alterations of IgG N-glycome, illustrated here for the first time in HDC, demonstrate a biomarker potential, which may shed light on future studies investigating their potential for monitoring or preventing the progression from HTN or T2DM towards HDC.
