Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease is linked to a disturbed fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23)-Klotho axis and an imbalance between myostatin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) expression. This cross-sectional study investigates the association of the FGF23-Klotho axis and myokine profile with serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and their interactions in pediatric patients.
Methods: Serum calcium, phosphorus, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, parathormone, c-terminal FGF23, a-Klotho, myostatin, follistatin, IGF-1, and IL-6 were measured in 53 patients with GFR < 60 ml/min/1,73m2. Myostatin to lean mass (LM) and to IGF-1 ratios were calculated. IL-6 level > 3rd quartile was considered as high.
Results: Myostatin, IGF-1, and follistatin were correlated to LM (rs = 0.513, p < 0.001, rs = 0.652, p < 0.001, rs=-0.483, p < 0.001). Myostatin and follistatin were correlated to IGF-1 (rs = 0.340, p = 0.014, rs=-0.385, p = 0.005). Myostatin/LM but not myostatin or myostatin/IGF-1 ratio was significantly higher in CKD 5D patients (p = 0.001,p = 0.844, p = 0.111). Among mineral bone parameters, lnFGF23 was correlated to lnIL-6 (rs = 0.397, p = 0.004) and associated with high IL-6 (OR 1.905, 95% CI 1.023-3.548). Among myokines, myostatin/IGF-1 ratio was correlated to lnIL-6 (rs = 0.395, p = 0.004) and associated with high IL-6 (OR 1.113, 95% CI 1.028-1.205). All associations were adjusted to CKD stage. Myostatin was correlated to lnFGF23 (rs = 0.331, p = 0.025) and myostatin/IGF-1 ratio to lnKlotho (rs=-0.363, p = 0.013), after adjustment for CKD stage, lnIL-6 and other mineral bone parameters.
Conclusions: In pediatric CKD, FGF23 and myostatin/IGF-1 ratio are associated with IL-6, indicating a link between systemic inflammation, mineral bone, and myokine disorders. The correlations between myostatin and FGF23 and between myostatin/IGF-1 and Klotho suggest an interaction between mineral bone and muscle metabolism.
期刊介绍:
Hormones-International Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism is an international journal published quarterly with an international editorial board aiming at providing a forum covering all fields of endocrinology and metabolic disorders such as disruption of glucose homeostasis (diabetes mellitus), impaired homeostasis of plasma lipids (dyslipidemia), the disorder of bone metabolism (osteoporosis), disturbances of endocrine function and reproductive capacity of women and men.
Hormones-International Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism particularly encourages clinical, translational and basic science submissions in the areas of endocrine cancers, nutrition, obesity and metabolic disorders, quality of life of endocrine diseases, epidemiology of endocrine and metabolic disorders.
