Impaired Inflammatory Response to LPS in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Lusine Khondkaryan, Sona Margaryan, David Poghosyan, Gayane Manukyan

“…The results showed that monocytes from T2DM were hyporesponsive to LPS challenge as reflected by significantly suppressed secretion of TNFα (p<0.01) and expression of CD11b (p<0.001) and TLR4 (p<0.001) compared to those in monocytes from healthy subjects. Furthermore, LPS-induced IL-10 levels were similar in diabetic and healthy supernatants, while expression levels of CD163 were found to be downregulated on monocytes from T2DM (p<0.001) suggesting impaired ability of monocytes to switch their phenotype to anti-inflammatory. …”
