Article Abstract
Scope: In experimental studies, moderate to high concentrations of sCD14 (serum cluster of differentiation 14 protein) prevent lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation, while low concentrations may promote inflammation. Given that metabolic endotoxemia is thought to initiate high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance, we explored the association between sCD14 concentrations and insulin sensitivity in humans.
Methods And Results: Healthy non-obese (n = 12, BMI 26 ± 5y), obese (n = 11, BMI 33.45 ± 3.2) and morbidly obese participants (n = 38, BMI 45 ± 7) underwent measurement of body composition (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) and a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to measure insulin sensitivity (M value). Circulating sCD14 concentrations were measured by ELISA. Non-obese participants had lower circulating sCD14 concentrations compared to obese (p = 0.03). Circulating sCD14 concentrations were positively associated with percent body fat, waist circumference and white blood cell count and negatively associated with insulin sensitivity. In contrast, circulating sCD14 were positively associated with insulin sensitivity in morbidly obese participants. In regression analysis, insulin sensitivity (r = 0.52, p = 0.004) and fasting triglycerides (r = 0.49, p = 0.005) contributed independently to circulating sCD14 variance after controlling for age, sex and BMI in these morbidly obese subjects.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that circulating sCD14 concentrations, through its compensatory (in non-obese subjects) or buffering role (in morbidly obese subjects), could exert an important role in modulating insulin sensitivity.

Background: Systemic inflammation has been associated with lower neurobehavioral performance in diverse populations, yet the evidence in adolescents remains lacking. Cytokines can alter neural network activity to induce neurocognitive changes. This work seeks to investigate the association between inflammation and neurobehavior in adolescents living in a rural region of Ecuador.

An accumulating number of studies suggest the potential of circulating cell-free microbial DNA (cfmDNA) as a non-invasive biomarker in various diseases, including cancers. However, its value in the prediction or prognosis of clinical outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is poorly explored. The circulating cfmDNA pool may also reflect the translocation of various microbial ligands to the circulatory system and may be associated with the increased release of soluble CD14 (sCD14) by myeloid cells.

Background: Available evidence supports the importance of inflammation in atrial fibrillation (AF) pathogenesis, yet general anti-inflammatory therapies have failed to show benefit for prevention of the arrhythmia. Better understanding of the specific inflammatory pathways involved is necessary to advance therapeutics.
Methods And Results: We evaluated 9 circulating markers of inflammation measured by immunoassays and incidence of AF in a population-based older cohort.

Article Synopsis
- Individuals with long-term type 1 diabetes may have an increased risk of heart issues due to inflammation caused by gut microbiota entering the bloodstream, leading to atherosclerosis.
- A study involving 102 people with type 1 diabetes and 63 controls measured several biomarkers related to gut inflammation and assessed coronary atherosclerosis using advanced imaging techniques.
- The results indicated that higher levels of intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) were linked to significant coronary artery blockages, suggesting it could be a potential marker for heart disease in diabetes patients.
Role of Circulating Monocytes and Periodontopathic Bacteria in Pathophysiology of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Article Synopsis
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is driven by chronic inflammation in the synovial membrane, primarily caused by immune cells like macrophages and osteoclasts that lead to cartilage and bone destruction.
- Circulating monocytes differentiate into macrophages and osteoclasts in RA, with synovial macrophages categorized into proinflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) types.
- Recent studies highlight the link between various subsets of these immune cells and RA, along with a notable association between periodontopathic bacteria and the development of the disease.
