This study found that serum CXCL14 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were positively correlated with obesity-related clinical parameters, but negatively correlated with age, pulse wave velocity, and serum adiponectin levels.
Aims/Introduction Recent studies have suggested C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 14 (CXCL14), secreted from adipose tissue, to play an important role in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. However, the clinical significance of CXCL14 in humans has not been elucidated. This study aimed to assess correlations between serum CXCL14 levels and clinical parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods In total, 176 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited. Serum CXCL14 concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We examined the associations of serum CXCL14 levels with laboratory values, abdominal computed tomography image information, surrogate markers used for evaluating the pathological states of diabetes, obesity and atherosclerosis. Results Serum CXCL14 levels correlated positively with body mass index, waist circumference, subcutaneous and visceral fat areas, and serum alanine transaminase, uric acid, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and C-peptide (CPR) levels. In contrast, CXCL14 levels correlated inversely with age, pulse wave velocity and serum adiponectin levels. Multiple linear regression analysis showed serum levels of CPR (beta = 0.227, P = 0.038) and the fatty liver index (beta = 0.205, P = 0.049) to be the only parameters showing independent statistically significant associations with serum CXCL14 levels. Conclusions Serum CXCL14 levels were independently associated with serum CPR and fatty liver index in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In these patients, a high serum CPR concentration might reflect insulin resistance rather than beta-cell function, because CXCL14 showed simple correlations with obesity-related parameters. Collectively, these data suggested that serum CXCL14 levels in type 2 diabetes patients might be useful predictors of elevated serum CPR and hepatic steatosis.
