Latar Belakang: Subyek diabetes melitus (DM) tipe 2 mengalami peningkatanrisiko fraktur akibat penurunan kekuatan tulang. Bone mineral density (BMD),sebagai parameter kuantitas tulang, tidak dapat menggambarkan fragilitas tulang pada subyek DM tipe 2 karena menunjukkan hasil yang normal atau meningkat dibandingkan dengan subyek bukan DM, sehingga peningkatan resiko fraktur pada subyek DM tipe 2 lebih disebabkan oleh penurunan kualitas tulang. Salah satu unsur penentu kualitas tulang adalah turnover tulang. Beberapa faktor yang berpengaruh pada turnover tulang, antara lain tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) dan sclerostin. Kajian TNF-α dan sclerostin pada subyek DM perempuan pernah dilaporkan namun melibatkan subyek pascamenopause, sehingga tidak dapat dipisahkan efek TNF-α dan sclerostin terhadap turnover tulang.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan profil kadar TNF-α dansclerostin serum pada subyek perempuan pramenopause DM tipe 2 dan bukanDM.Metode: Studi potong lintang dilakukan pada 80 subyek perempuanpramenopause yang terdiri dari ini 40 subyek DM Tipe 2 dan 40 subyek bukanDM. Data yang dikumpulkan antara lain: karakteristik subyek, riwayatpenggunaan obat-obatan, HbA1C, SGPT, kreatinin, dan eGFR. PemeriksaanTNF-α dan sclerostin serum dilakukan dengan metode enzyme-linkedimmunosorbent assay (ELISA).Hasil: Median (rentang interkuartil) kadar TNF-α serum pada subyek DM tipe 2[43,0 pg/mL (14,4-101,31)], lebih tinggi dibandingkan subyek bukan DM [23,86pg/mL (11,98-78,54)] namun perbedaan tersebut tidak bermakna (p=0.900).Rerata (simpang baku) kadar sclerostin serum pada subyek DM tipe 2 [132,05pg/mL (SB 41,54)], lebih tinggi bermakna (p<0.001) dibandingkan subyek bukan DM [96,03 pg/mL (SB 43,66)]. Tidak didapatkan hubungan antara kadar TNF-α dan sclerostin serum baik pada subyek DM tipe 2 (p=0,630) maupun subyek bukan DM (p=0,560).Kesimpulan: Subyek perempuan pramenopause DM tipe 2 memiliki kadar TNF-α serum lebih tinggi namun tidak bermakna dibandingkan dengan subyek bukan DM. Subyek perempuan pramenopause DM tipe 2 memiliki kadar sclerostin serum lebih tinggi bermakna dibandingkan dengan subyek bukan DM. Background: The subject of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has an increasedrisk of fracture due to a decrease in bone strength. Bone mineral density (BMD), as a parameter of bone quantity, cannot describe bone fragility in T2DM subjects because it shows normal or increased results compared to non-DM subjects, so an increased risk of fracture in T2DM subjects is due to a decrease in bone quality. One element that determines bone quality is bone turnover. Some factors that influence bone turnover include tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and sclerostin. TNF-α and sclerostin studies in female DM subjects have been reported but involve postmenopausal subjects, so that the effects of TNF-α and sclerostin cannot be separated from bone turnover.Objective: This study aims to obtain a profile of serum TNF-α and sclerostin levels in premenopausal women with T2DM and non-DM.Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 80 premenopausal femalesubjects consisting of 40 T2DM subjects and 40 non-DM subjects. Data collected included: subject characteristics, history of drug use, HbA1C, SGPT, creatinine, and eGFR. Serum TNF-α and sclerostin examination was carried out by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.Results: The median (interquartile range) of serum TNF-α levels in T2DMsubjects [43.0 pg/mL (14.4-101.31)], was higher than non-DM subjects [23.86pg/mL (11.98 -78.54)] but the difference was not significant (p= 0.900). The mean (standard deviation) of serum sclerostin levels in T2DM subjects [132.05 pg/mL (SD 41.54)], was significantly higher (p< 0.001) than non-DM subjects [96.03 pg/mL (SD 43.66)]. There was no association between serum TNF-α and sclerostin levels in both T2DM subjects (p= 0.630) and non-DM subjects (p= 0.560).Conclusions: Subjects of premenopausal women with T2DM had higher serumTNF-α levels but were not significant compared to non-DM subjects. Subjects of premenopausal women with T2DM had significantly higher serum sclerostinlevels compared to non-DM subjects. |
