Association between MIC-1 and Type 2 Diabetes: A Combined Analysis

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an epidemic disease that endangers human health seriously. Recently, a large number of reports have revealed that macrophage-inhibiting cytokine-1 (MIC-1) is linked with T2DM, but the results were inconclusive. The aim of this study was t...

Sumario:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an epidemic disease that endangers human health seriously. Recently, a large number of reports have revealed that macrophage-inhibiting cytokine-1 (MIC-1) is linked with T2DM, but the results were inconclusive. The aim of this study was to perform bioinformatics analysis of the association between MIC-1 and T2DM. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Datasets and relevant literatures were searched in Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science till September 20, 2019. Expression levels of MIC-1 were extracted, pooled, and compared between T2DM cases and controls. RESULTS: In summary, 11 GEO datasets and 3 articles with 421 T2DM cases and 711 controls were finally included. The expression level of MIC-1 was significantly higher in T2DM patients compared with controls, with a standard mean difference (SMD) of 0.54 and a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) of 0.24-0.83; in blood samples, the difference was still significant (SMD = 0.65; 95%CI = 0.24‐1.06). Meanwhile, the expression level of MIC-1 plays a significant role in differentiating T2DM cases from controls; the combined sensitivity, specificity, and odds ratio were 0.83 (95%CI = 0.72‐0.90), 0.59 (95%CI = 0.45‐0.72), and 1.64 (95%CI = 1.35‐1.99), respectively. The summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve demonstrated that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.81 (95%CI = 0.77‐0.84). CONCLUSION: Our results suggested that the expression levels of MIC-1 were significantly higher in T2DM patients in multiple tissues including blood samples.
