OBJECTIVES: We have previously shown that overweight may increase the risk of
developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in autoantibody positive individuals.
Adipose tissue could contribute to the development of RA by production of various
bioactive peptides. Therefore, we examined levels of adipokines in serum and
synovial tissue of subjects at risk of RA. METHODS: Fifty-one individuals
positive for immunoglobulin M rheumatoid factor (IgM-RF) and/or
anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), without arthritis, were included in
this prospective study. Levels of adiponectin, vaspin, resistin, leptin, chemerin
and omentin were determined in baseline fasting serum samples (n = 27). Synovial
tissue was obtained by arthroscopy at baseline and we examined the expression of
adiponectin, resistin and visfatin by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The
development of clinically manifest arthritis after follow-up was associated with
baseline serum vaspin levels (HR1.5 (95% CI 1.1 to 2.2); p = 0.020), also after
adjustment for overweight (HR1.7 (95% CI 1.1 to 2.5); p = 0.016). This
association was not seen for other adipokines. Various serum adipokine levels
correlated with BMI (adiponectin r = -0.538, leptin r = 0.664; chemerin r =
0.529) and systemic markers of inflammation such as CRP levels at baseline
(adiponectin r = -0.449, omentin r = -0.557, leptin r = 0.635, chemerin r =
0.619, resistin r = 0.520) and ESR (leptin r = 0.512, chemerin r = 0.708),
p-value<0.05. Synovial expression of adiponectin, resistin and visfatin was not
associated with development of clinically manifest arthritis. CONCLUSIONS: In
this exploratory study, serum adipokines were associated with an increased
inflammatory state in autoantibody-positive individuals at risk of developing RA.
Furthermore, serum vaspin levels may assist in predicting the development of
arthritis in these individuals.
