Adipose tissues secrete adipokines, peptides with potent effects modulating fibrosis, inflammation, and vascular homeostasis. Dysregulated adipose tissue biology and adipokine balance have been recently implicated in systemic sclerosis (SSc). We sought to determine if altered circulating adipokine levels correlate with SSc disease subsets or clinical manifestations. Multiplex assays were used to measure circulating adipokine levels in 198 patients with SSc and 33 healthy controls. Serum adipokine levels were correlated with demographics and clinical features including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). To assess the relevance of adipsin, an adipokine involved in complement pathway activation, in SSc, we analyzed publically available genetic and transcriptomic data. Levels of adiponectin and adipsin demonstrated significant differences between controls and patients. Adipsin was significantly elevated in patients with limited cutaneous SSc (OR 28.3, 95% C.I. 7.0-113.8, p<0.0001), and its levels were associated with serum autoantibody status, pulmonary function and cardiovascular parameters, and PAH (OR 3.3 95% C.I. 1.3-8.7, p=0.02). Elevated adipsin was more strongly associated with PAH than B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Moreover, in SSc patients, adipsin gene single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with PAH. Transcriptome dataset analysis demonstrated elevated adipsin expression in patients with SSc-PAH. We identify adipsin as a novel adipose tissue-derived marker of PAH in SSc. Circulating adipsin levels might serve as predictive biomarkers in SSc. Mechanistically, adipsin might represent a pathogenic link between adipocyte dysfunction and complement pathway activation, and play an important role in the pathogenesis of SSc-PAH.
