This reflects ongoing uncertainty about whether cystatin C concentrations differ between sexes in healthy individuals without kidney disease and how any such difference varies with age. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to address this discrepancy. We conducted a PRISMA-compliant systematic review (PubMed, Scopus, Embase) of studies reporting sex-specific cystatin C data in healthy adults. From 21 studies comprising more than 46,000 healthy adults, 52 unique subgroups (<i>k</i> = 52) were extracted. Analyses comprised: (1) a meta-regression of all subgroups by mean age; (2) a random-effects model for younger and middle-aged adults (<i>k</i> = 32, age ≤ 60 years); and (3) a separate model for older adults (<i>k</i> = 13, age ≥ 60 years). A qualitative review of pediatric data provided life-course context. The qualitative pediatric review confirmed a consistent 12-15% sex difference (men > women) emerging during adolescence. In younger and middle-aged adults, men had 8.6% higher cystatin C concentrations than women (pooled M/F ratio 1.0860, 95% CI 1.0587-1.1133; <i>p</i> < .0001). In older adults, this difference was markedly attenuated (M/F ratio 1.0338, 95% CI 1.0132-1.0544). Across all adult subgroups, meta-regression indicated an age-related attenuation of the sex difference (β = -0.0011 per year). Between-study heterogeneity was substantial (I² = 98% in younger adults, 76% in older adults), likely reflecting true variability in population characteristics and analytical methods; however, the direction of the sex difference was highly consistent across studies. Sensitivity analyses using robust variance estimation, leave-one-out analysis, and trim-and-fill methods confirmed the robustness of pooled estimates and found no evidence of substantial publication bias. Plasma cystatin C exhibits a consistent, biologically plausible sex difference that varies across the life course, with a pronounced difference in adolescence and early to mid-adulthood that attenuates after 60 years of age. This pattern coincides with age-related changes in sex hormone exposure and, together with experimental and clinical evidence, supports a hormonal contribution to cystatin C regulation. These findings challenge the validity of both sex-neutral eGFR<sub>cys</sub> equations, which may underestimate kidney function in younger men, and uniform sex-adjustment equations, which may overcorrect in older adults. Our results support the development of age-dependent, sex-specific approaches to cystatin C-based kidney function assessment.</p>","PeriodicalId":10760,"journal":{"name":"Critical reviews in clinical laboratory sciences","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147510216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Epigenetic regulation, such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA (ncRNA) dysregulation, is a main driver of tumorigenesis and progression. Recent studies are suggesting that the human microbiota, commonly referred to as a \"super-organ,\" are not only associated with tumors but play an active role in regulating the epigenetic state of the host. The aim of this review is to systematically explain the main regulatory mechanisms of the \"microbiota-epigenetic-cancer regulatory axis\", their heterogeneous manifestations across various tumors, and the exploration of novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic strategies of this regulatory axis. Microbiota mainly drive tumor epigenetic remodeling through three levels. First, microbial metabolites (e.g., butyrate) can act as natural histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis), or tryptophan metabolites can directly regulate the host chromatin state by activating the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) pathway. Second, bacterial structures such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can induce inflammation and disease by activating inflammatory signaling pathways. Third, specific pathogens like HBV and <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> can hijack the host's epigenetic machinery or induce epigenetic reprogramming via virulence factors. The tumor-resident microbiota (TRM) is an emerging and important field. TRM that actively partake in the tumor microenvironment (TME) may promote immune evasion through <i>in situ</i> mechanisms (e.g., lactylation), thereby confirming a direct and causal role for microbes within tumors. The epigenetic therapeutic strategies based on these mechanisms are being rapidly developed, including, for example, the regulation of microbial community structure (e.g., FMT), the targeting of microbial metabolic pathways, and TRM-specific approaches and key pathways (e.g., engineered bacteria). These strategies also have great potential as biomarkers for tumor prognosis prediction and therapy response evaluation. Overall, microbes and tumor epigenetics are part of a network that brings together their metabolism, inflammation, immunity, and gene regulation. Future research will shift from exploring the correlation of the gut microbiota at the macro level to exploring TRM's causality within the TME. By using gnotobiotic mouse models, organoid co-cultures, and multiomics, we will deeply analyze the microenvironment specificity of this network and develop precision interventions targeting TRM that could transform cancer therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":10760,"journal":{"name":"Critical reviews in clinical laboratory sciences","volume":" ","pages":"1-41"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145905824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
