Genetic Association of Circulating Adipokines with Risk of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study

Purpose The causal relationships between circulating adipokines and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are yet to be established. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate the causal roles of adipokines on IPF risk. Methods We analyzed the summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including adiponectin, leptin, resistin and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and IPF. The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was considered as the major method and the MR-Egger, weighted median, simple mode and weighted mode were utilized as complementary methods. We also performed the sensitivity analyses, including heterogeneity test, horizontal pleiotropy test and leave-one-out analysis. Results The selected number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was 13 for adiponectin, 6 for leptin,12 for resistin, and 6 for MCP-1, respectively. The results showed a causal effect of the circulating adiponectin levels on the risk of IPF (OR 0.645, 95% CI 0.457–0.911, P = 0.013). However, we did not observe significant associations of genetic changes in serum leptin (OR 1.018, 95% CI 0.442–2.346, P = 0.967), resistin (OR 1.002, 95% CI 0.712–1.408, P = 0.993), and MCP-1 (OR 1.358, 95% CI 0.891–2.068, P = 0.155) with risk of developing IPF. There was no evidence of heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy. The sensitivity analyses confirmed that our results were stable and reliable. Conclusions The increase in serum adiponectin was associated causally with a decreased risk of developing IPF. There is no evidence to support a causal association between leptin, resistin or MCP-1 with risk of IPF. Further studies are needed to confirm our findings..
