Role of serum endotoxin, FGF19, TLR2, TNF-α, IL-12 and IL-10 in NAFLD-associated T2DM pathogenesis: Insights into Th1 bias and protective mechanisms.
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in non-obese patients is pathophysiologically distinct, exhibiting common immunological link with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aims to delineate the role of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)-mediated immuno-modulation along with its association with fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) and its ligand fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) in the pathogenesis of NAFLD without or with T2DM.
Methodology: Blood samples were collected from patients with NAFLD (n = 90), NAFLD with T2DM (n = 90) and healthy cohorts (n = 90) with consent and clinical records. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELIZA) and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were used to analyze messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), protein expression and gene polymorphism.
Results: The molecular genetic analysis revealed the prevalence of variant allele(A) in FGFR4 gene in both cases compared to controls. The mRNA expression of FGF19 and TLR2 exhibited significant upregulation in NAFLD without T2DM compared to NAFLD with T2DM. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) showed upregulation in both disease cohorts compared to control while IL-10 showed significant downregulation in NAFLD with T2DM compared to the other two cohorts. Correlation analysis between FGF19 and TLR2 revealed significant positive association in both NAFLD with and without T2DM. The Th1:Th2 ratio showed significant upregulation in NAFLD with T2DM compared to NAFLD without T2DM.
Conclusion: In conclusion, elevated serum endotoxin levels appear to contribute to NAFLD and T2DM development. Upregulated FGF19 seems to be protective against developing T2DM in NAFLD patients. Higher TLR2, TNF-α and IL-12 expression in NAFLD without T2DM suggests a Th1 bias in its pathogenesis, while reduced IL-10 in NAFLD with T2DM implies a more skewed Th1 state in this condition.
