Abstract
Objective
Although DNA methylation has been suggested to be a potential predictor of the progression of obesity and obesity-related diseases, little is known about its potential role as predictive marker of successful weight loss after bariatric surgery.
Methods
20 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy were classified according to the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) 1 year after bariatric surgery, using 60% as the cut-off point. Blood DNA methylation was analyzed prior to surgery using the Infinium Methylation EPIC Bead Chip array-based platform.
Results
A total number of 76,559 differentially methylated positions (DMPs) (p < 0.05) were found between <60% EWL and >60% EWL groups. Of them, 59,308 DMPs were annotated to genes. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that pathways involved in the signalling of MAPK, Wnt, mTor, FoxO and AMPK, among others, were involved in weight loss trajectory.
A stepwise logistic regression using the DMPs with an absolute Δβ >0.2 showed that higher methylation levels in the CpG sites cg02405213 (mapping to JAK2) (OR: 1.20098, [0.9586, 1.5044]) and cg01702330 (OR: 2.4426, [0.5761, 10.3567]), were shown to be associated with a higher probability of achieving >60 %EWL after sleeve gastrectomy, whereas higher methylation levels in the CpG site cg04863892 (mapping to HOXA5) were associated with lower probability of achieving >60 %EWL after sleeve gastrectomy (OR: 0.7966, [0.5637, 1.1259]).
Conclusions
Our results show a different pre-surgery methylation pattern according to %EWL. We identified three CpG sites (cg04863892, cg02405213, cg01702330) with potential value as predictor markers of weight loss response to bariatric surgery.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Metabolism is a leading journal dedicated to sharing groundbreaking discoveries in the field of energy homeostasis and the underlying factors of metabolic disorders. These disorders include obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Our journal focuses on publishing research driven by hypotheses and conducted to the highest standards, aiming to provide a mechanistic understanding of energy homeostasis-related behavior, physiology, and dysfunction.
We promote interdisciplinary science, covering a broad range of approaches from molecules to humans throughout the lifespan. Our goal is to contribute to transformative research in metabolism, which has the potential to revolutionize the field. By enabling progress in the prognosis, prevention, and ultimately the cure of metabolic disorders and their long-term complications, our journal seeks to better the future of health and well-being.
