AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: It was the aim to investigate the hypothesis that the new C1q/TNF-family member CTRP-3 (C1q/TNF-related protein-3) acts anti-inflammatory in human monocytes from healthy controls and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). METHODS: Monocytes were isolated from 20 healthy controls and 30 patients with T2D. IL-6 and TNF concentrations were measured by ELISA. CTRP-3 was expressed in insect cells and used for stimulation experiments. RESULTS: Basal IL-6 and TNF were not different in control and in T2D monocytes. LPS-stimulation (1 microg/ml) significantly (p<0.001) increased IL-6 and TNF in the supernatants of control and in T2D monocytes to a similar extent. CTRP-3 (1 microg/ml) significantly (p=0.03) inhibited LPS-induced IL-6 in control monocytes but not in T2D monocytes. TNF upon co-stimulation with LPS and CTRP-3 was significantly (p=0.012) lower in control than in T2D monocytes. LPS-induced TNF concentration was significantly and positively correlated with serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in T2D patients. CONCLUSIONS: CTRP-3 inhibits LPS-induced IL-6 and TNF release. This anti-inflammatory effect is lost in T2D. Serum cholesterol concentration affects the pro-inflammatory potential of LPS to induce TNF release from T2D monocytes in the presence or absence of CTRP-3. CTRP-3 might partly account for the pro-inflammatory state in T2D. Copyright 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
