Circulating adiponectin levels in various malignancies: an updated meta-analysis of 107 studies

Abstract: Early detection of cancers is challenging for lack of specific biomarkers. Adiponectin is an adipokine predominantly derived from adipocytes and hypoadiponectinemia has been reported to associate with risk of many types of cancers. However, available evidence is controversial. Some studies show that increased adiponectin levels correlate with cancer risk. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of the association between circulating adiponectin levels and cancer development. A systematic search of PubMed, EMBA… Show more

“…However, an inverse correlation has been observed between adiponectin levels and progression of colon, breast, endometrial and prostate cancers [29][30][31]. Furthermore, circulating adiponectin levels have been found to be significantly lower in patients with cancer compared with healthy controls [45]. Thus, adiponectin might also play a role in anti-cancer functions.…”

“…Weight control is likely to reduce the incident risk of thirteen cancers which have been linked to obesity (Renehan et al, 2008), although the role of weight management after diagnosis on the outcome of obesity related cancers is not known (WCRF, 2014; Goodwin et al, 2015). Surrogate evidence that IF may reduce cancer risk can be derived from its effects on a number of cancer risk biomarkers such as insulin, cytokines, and the inflammation-related molecules leptin and adiponectin, which are thought to mediate the effects of adiposity and excessive energy intake on the development and growth of cancers in humans (Hursting et al, 2012; Wei et al, 2016). …”

“…On the other hand, uric acid can activate the dendritic cell to mature and strengthen the responses from CD8+ T cells, which have been regarded as a mechanism through the immune system in response to tumors . Additionally, factors such as adiponectin, leptin, and C‐reactive protein are also involved in uric acid‐related inflammation that is associated with cancer risk.…”
