Serum high mobility group box-1 and osteoprotegerin levels are associated with peripheral arterial disease and critical limb ischemia in type 2 diabetic subjects

Abstract: BackgroundHigh mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) is a nuclear protein also acting as inflammatory mediator, whilst osteoprotegerin (OPG), member of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, is indicated as marker of vascular calcification. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are clinical conditions characterized by elevated serum inflammatory markers and vascular calcification enhancement. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of HMGB-1, OPG and several inflammatory me… Show more

“…An earlier report demonstrated that the concentration of plasma HMGB-1 increased in patients with PAD than in healthy controls [92]. This notion was strongly supported by a recent study showing higher serum HMGB-1 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes affected by PAD [93]. Furthermore, the expression of HMGB-1 increased in diabetic foot atherogenesis and arteriosclerosis obliterans [94,95].…”

“…Recent years, several potential biomarkers were found to identify PAD in diabetic patients. For instance, serum high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), broblast growth factor (FGF) 23 and osteopontin (OPN) have been correlated with the presence of PAD in diabetic patients [24,25]. In addition, thrombospondin-4 (TSP-4) levels were signi cantly increased with PAD severity in patients with concomitant diabetes and could be a novel marker of atherosclerotic activity [26].…”

“…Despite similar baseline clinical characteristics-in terms of risk factor control and PAD severity-and the same endovascular approach, some patients do not encounter complications for years while other patients may have complications, even fatal, within a few months [26]. Several potential biomarkers have been proposed, some linked to patient's genetic characteristics [25,[27][28][29], many linked metabolic and in ammatory parameters [19,25,[30][31][32][33]. Among the possible candidates, the pathways linked to adipose tissue represent a promising eld of study.…”
