Abstract:
:Alteration in the frequency of monocyte subsets is a hallmark of tuberculosis-diabetes co-morbidity (TB-DM). To study this association, we examined the plasma levels of sCD14, sCD163, C-reactive protein (CRP) and soluble tissue factor (sTF) in individuals with TB-DM, TB or diabetes mellitus (DM), and in healthy controls (HC). Circulating levels of sCD14, sCD163 and sTF were significantly increased in TB-DM and DM compared with TB and HC; however, CRP was significantly increased in TB-DM and TB compared with DM and HC. During longitudinal follow up, sCD14, CRP and sTF levels remained significantly increased in TB-DM compared with TB from baseline (pre-treatment), during treatment (2nd month) and at the completion (6th month) of anti-TB treatment (ATT), whereas sCD163 was significantly higher in TB-DM compared with TB only at baseline. Moreover, the levels of sCD14 and sCD163 were significantly higher in TB-DM individuals with bilateral and cavitary disease and exhibited a significant positive relationship with bacterial burden. Levels of sCD14, sCD163 and CRP exhibited a positive relationship with HbA1c levels. Within the TB-DM group, those with known diabetes before incident TB (KDM) exhibited significantly higher levels of sCD14 and sCD163 compared with individuals with newly diagnosed DM with TB (NDM). Finally, KDM individuals on metformin treatment exhibited significantly lower levels of sCD14, sCD163 and CRP compared with those on non-metformin-containing regimens. Our data demonstrate that systemic monocyte activation marker levels reflect baseline disease severity and extent in TB-DM, differentiate KDM from NDM and are modulated by ATT and metformin therapy.
