Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Associated with Primary Knee Osteoarthritis Patients.
Genetic Testing and Molecular Biomarkers 2018 December 9
AIMS: (1) To evaluate the association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and primary knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and (2) to compare synovial fluid (SF) cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) concentrations and glycemic control parameters in patients with T2D, with and without primary KOA.
METHODS: A total of 231 individuals were included in this study. Primary KOA was confirmed according to the criteria established by the American College of Rheumatology. The presence of T2D was determined by medical history. In addition, fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin were analyzed to confirm diabetic and nondiabetic status.
RESULTS: Our results showed an association between T2D and primary KOA after covariate adjustments (OR = 3.755, p = 0.000024, 95% CI: 2.033-6.934). In addition, SF COMP levels were significantly higher in T2D groups with and without primary KOA (p = 0.00035; p = 0.001 respectively) when compared to nonT2D controls.
CONCLUSION: This study suggests a strong association between T2D and primary KOA; in addition, the presence of T2D may have an influence in SF COMP levels in subjects with and without primary KOA. The glycemic control parameters and duration of diabetes may be useful as an indirect indicator of SF COMP levels to prevent the effects of chronic exposure to hyperglycemia and subsequent damage to the articular cartilage.
