Abstract
Background: Adiponectin is an anti-inflammatory and potentially antiatherogenic molecule. Some recent reports suggest that tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) blockade therapy increases circulating adiponectin levels, but data are sparse and inconsistent. Methods: Data from a double-blind placebo controlled study of onercept in 126 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and from pre- and post-adalimumab treatment in 171 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were used to examine the effect of TNFα blockade therapy on adiponectin. Results: Despite expected associations of adiponectin with gender and baseline high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride, adiponectin levels did not change over time with TNFα blockade therapy in either group. The mean±SD absolute change in adiponectin levels was −0.23±4.6 μg/ml in patients with PsA treated with combined onercept 50 mg and onercept 100 mg (vs placebo, p=0.60) and 0.28±3.23 μg/ml in patients with RA treated with adalimumab (vs baseline, p=0.66). Conclusion: These results do not support a significant effect of TNFα blockade therapy on circulating adiponectin levels in patients with autoimmune disease.
