Sažetak
Background: Women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a higher risk of fractures despite increased bone mineral density (BMD). In experimental studies a potential role of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in bone remodelling is suggested but studies in humans are lacking. This is a first study in humans investigating whether circulated levels of PAI-1 in postmenopausal women with T2DM are related to BMD and adiposity. Methods: Anthropometric variables, PAI-1 and insulin levels, serum lipids and bone turnover markers were measured in 117 postmenopausal women with T2DM. A total of 117 female patients were divided according to lumbar spine BMD measurements via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in three groups: 47 with osteopenia, 21 with osteoporosis and 49 with normal BMD. Results: Diabetic patients with normal BMD had significantly higher BMI, greater waist circumference and lower bone turnover markers than diabetics with osteopenia and osteoporosis (P<0.01). PAI-1 was lower in diabetics with osteoporosis and osteopenia compared with diabetics with normal BMD (P<0.05). In the multiple regression models the strongest determinants of PAI-1 among metabolic parameters were triglyceride and insulin levels and the duration of T2DM, among therapy beta blockers, and among bone markers pyrilinks (P<0.05). Final regression analysis model revealed insulin (P=0.003), triglycerides levels (P=0.0002) and pyrilinks (P=0.0002) to be the strongest predictors of PAI-1 levels in all patients. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the PAI-1 has a protective effect on bone loss by suppression of bone turnover in obese diabetic patients, and the effect is primarily mediated through the influence of metabolic factors, hyperinsulinaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia and obesity. However, the fact that pyrilinks is also independently correlated to PAI-1 implies its direct involvement in bone metabolism influencing bone mass and strength.
