Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease

characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, insufficient

insulin secretion by pancreatic cells, insulin resistance, and

inadequate insulin secretory compensatory response.

Various reports have shown that low-grade chronic

inflammation is associated with the risk of developing

T2DM. In recent years, studies have suggested that

increased concentrations of circulating inflammatory

markers, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-

alpha (TNF-α), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-

CRP) have been reported may increase the incidence of

T2DM. Recently it has been found that vitamin D plays a

role not only in bone remodeling, but as an

immunomodulator. Administration of vitamin D therapy

suppresses the proliferation of T cells and monocytes and

downregulates proinflammatory cytokines including CRP,

TNF-α, Interleukin-1, 6, 8, and increases the production of

the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. A literature review

was carried out to collect the latest results from several

studies regarding the role of vitamin D on IL-6 in type 2

diabetes mellitus. The literature sources were taken from

journal articles published online in the period 2017-2021.

The databases used are MDPI, PubMed, ScienceDirect,

Wiley, and Hindawi. The results of the literature review

show various findings. Several studies showed a significant

difference and no significant difference in IL-6 after vitamin

D administration clinically or statistically. Additional studies

are needed to specifically examine the optimal dose of

vitamin D to reduce IL-6-mediated inflammation in T2DM,

determine the best dose between calcemic and

immunomodulating effects, and the role of vitamin D in

inflammation so that it can be an effective adjunct therapy

in the treatment of T2DM.

INTRODUCTION

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood

glucose levels and can cause microvascular and macrovascular complications in the heart,

blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. More than 90% of diabetes mellitus cases are

type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2), a condition characterized by insufficient insulin

secretion by pancreatic cells, insulin resistance, and inadequate compensatory insulin

secretory response. The development of this disease leads to the inability of insulin

secretion to maintain glucose homeostasis leading to hyperglycemic conditions

(AyuNuari, Andriswana, Ramadhan, & Listyoweni, 2022).

According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), in 2021 there will be

537 million adults aged 20-79 years worldwide (10.5% of all adults in this age group)

who have diabetes (Anjastika, Haryati, & Kholifah, 2022). In 2030 it is estimated that

643 million people and by 2045, 783 million adults aged 20-79 years are projected to be

living with diabetes. According to the IDF, Indonesia is ranked 5th in 10 countries with

the highest prevalence of diabetes in adults in the world in 2021, with 19.5 million

people. It is estimated that in 2045, Indonesia will experience an increase in the number

of DMT2 patients to 28.6 million people (Pandanwangi, Ali, & Meriska, 2022).

There is a strong relationship between hyperglycemia, oxidative stress induced by

hyperglycemia, inflammation and the development of T2DM. Various reports have

shown that chronic low-grade inflammation is associated with the risk of developing

T2DM and that subclinical inflammation contributes to insulin resistance and is

associated with the characteristics of the metabolic syndrome which includes

hyperglycemia (Nafilah, Zuniarto, & TW, 2022).

In recent years, increasing evidence has shown that T2DM is evolving from a

metabolic disorder to an inflammatory disease and that reducing inflammation may have

a beneficial effect on insulin resistance. Some evidence has suggested that increased

concentrations of circulating inflammatory markers, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor

necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), may

increase the incidence of DMT2. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine

involved in the pathophysiology of T2DM. Increased circulating IL-6 is an independent

predictor of T2DM and is thought to be involved in the development of inflammation,

insulin resistance, and β-cell dysfunction (Karsidin, Wahyuni, & Dwiyanti, 2022).

Vitamin D deficiency is very common in people with T2DM. It has also been

reported to impair insulin secretion and increase peripheral insulin resistance as a major

risk factor for the development of T2DM as well as a predictor of abnormalities in most

of the variables monitored in patients with the metabolic syndrome (Fauzia, Karsidin, &

Dewi, 2021). The biologically active vitamin D metabolite, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3

(1,25(OH)2D3), has been shown to have immunomodulatory or anti-inflammatory

effects. Therefore, we conducted a literature review on the pathophysiology, mechanism

of IL-6, and the role of vitamin D on IL-6 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

RESEARCH METHOD

The author conducted a search, selection, and selection of literatures using the

literature review method regarding the role of vitamin D on IL-6 in type 2 diabetes

mellitus with the keywords Vitamin D, Interleukin-6, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The

literature sources used, namely MDPI, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley, and Hindawi

published in the last 5 years, 2017-2021, and clinical trials obtained a number of 53

journals. Writing begins by reviewing the contents of each literature that meets the

author's criteria, brainstorming, and cross-checking with other primary sources. The

results of the discussion are arranged in an organized format starting from the

pathophysiology of T2DM, IL-6, vitamin D, and vitamin D to the levels of IL-6 in

T2DM.

RESULT

Research on the effect of vitamin D on type 2 diabetes mellitus with parameters

of IL-6 and blood sugar levels has been carried out both in animal trials and clinically in

humans by providing vitamin D supplementation for a certain time. A trial study on mice

with poor vitamin D deficiency and T2DM by (Weichao Wang, Zhang, Wang, Wang, &

Liu, 2019) which looked at mRNA and protein expression in pancreatic tissue showed

high expression of the inflammatory cytokine TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8 and IL-6 which

increase the occurrence of insulin resistance. A 9-week trial in animals that were given

1,25(OH)2D3 with low, medium, and high doses via intragastric gavage showed that

fasting blood sugar, CRP, and IL-6 levels decreased significantly compared to a control

group that was not given the vitamin D. The results of trials of giving supplementation to

experimental animals have the potential to effectively reduce the incidence of T2DM

(Ayuditiawati, Zuniarto, Mundzir, & Tamala, 2021).

The intervention treatment using 40,000 IU of cholecalciferol for 24 weeks in

individuals with T2DM with complications of peripheral neuropathy found that clinical

manifestations, cutaneous microcirculation, and inflammatory markers IL-6 were

significantly decreased (2.5 pg/mL vs. 0.6 pg/mL, p < 0.001) and an increase in IL-10

(2.5 pg/mL vs. 4.5 pg/mL, p < 0.001). However, no change was found in the 5000

IU/week supplementation group (Yuniuswoyo, Mundzir, & Fatullah, 2021). A

randomized controlled trial in individuals with T2DM and vitamin D deficiency who

were given cholecalciferol 30,000 IU/week for 6 months showed significantly higher

levels of vitamin D (25(OHD) (p < 0.0001) and decreased hs-CRP and TNF-α

concentrations. significant (p < 0.0001) compared to the placebo group, but not

significant reductions in IL-6 concentration (p = 0.1), fasting blood sugar (p = 0.9), and

HbA1C levels (p = 0.85) Various studies have shown a significant or insignificant

decrease in the concentration of IL-6 in T2DM. Based on a systematic review study and

meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials in 2018 the effect of vitamin D

supplementation on plasma IL-6 concentrations was evaluated in 5 studies and after

intervention, 3 studies had a reduced mean IL-6 concentration in subjects given vitamin D

supplementation and 2 studies with only the IL-6 results did not change. Moreover, only

one study showed a significant difference and there was no statistical difference in the

other studies. Thus, the results showed no significant effect of vitamin D supplementation

on plasma IL-6 concentrations (standard mean difference, -0.48 [95% CI -1.36 to 0.41], p

= 0.29 when compared to the control group.

Research by (Wang, Zhang, Wang, Wang, & Liu, 2019), showed a negative

correlation between serum 25(OH)D levels in T2DM patients and serum TNF-α (r=-

0.705, P<0.001), IL-1β (r=-0.661, P<0.001), IL-8 (r=-0.645, P<0.001) and IL-6 (r=-

0.609, P <0.001) and the involvement of 25(OH)D in increasing inflammation with the

incidence of insulin resistance through the NF-kB pathway. IL-6 levels were significantly

higher in T2DM patients compared to healthy controls and spearman correlation analysis

revealed that PTPN2 was negatively correlated with IL-6 (r = 0 2014, P = 0.043). Anti-

inflammatory effect of vitamin D and resistance training in men with T2DM and vitamin

D deficiency, it was found that the concentration of IL-6 (p = 0.001) changed

significantly in all groups (Vitamin D + resistance training with % -71.73, resistance

training with % - 65.85, vitamin D with %-61.70). The main effect of the test (P = 0.001),

group (P = 0.001) and the interaction between group and test (P = 0.001) in the IL-6

analysis was statistically significant (TW, 2021). The anti-inflammatory effect of the

combination of sitagliptin with vitamin D3 on the cytokine profile of T2DM patients

stated that no significant changes were found in IL-6, IL-21, and TGF-β cytokine levels

between patients and control subjects. Tests conducted on hemodialysis T2DM patients

who were given vitamin D supplementation did not show any statistically significant

changes in IL-6 gene expression. In patients with diabetic retinopathy who were given β-

glucan supplementation plus vitamin D, the level of IL-6 did not experience a significant

change (2.49 to 2.54 pg/ml) (Haryati & Pratiwi, 2020).

DISCUSSION

Inflammation is one of the pathological mechanisms of insulin resistance. The

inflammatory response begins when IL-1 and TNF-α are released from the inflammatory

center which results in a cascade of changes including the release of IL-6, acute-phase

reactants such as fibrinogen and hs-CRP (Karsidin, Subagja, & Permatasari, 2020). Apart

from this, it is known that vitamin D can suppress inflammatory reactions by regulating

immunological reactions of macrophages and monocytes, as well as lowering IL-6

concentrations. In vitro, vitamin D can enhance the differentiation of monocytes into

macrophages, prevent the release of inflammatory cytokines, and reduce the ability to

present antigens to lymphocytes by inhibiting the cell surface expression of class 2 major

histocompatibility complex molecules (MHC-II). Vitamin D can also suppress the

proliferative and stimulating ability of T cells and monocytes and downregulate

proinflammatory cytokines, including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-a

(TNFα), and IL-6 in LPS-induced macrophages via the MAPK pathway, IL-1 and IL-8,

COX-2, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)1, and B7-1 molecule in macrophages by

increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10 (Zuniarto, Nuari, & Nuryana,

2020). Similar observations have also been shown from observational studies in healthy

populations and populations with proinflammatory conditions such as diabetes,

arteriosclerosis, and inflammatory polyarthritis (Karsidin, Zakiah, & Biaskawati, 2020).

The acquired vitamin D deficiency may be associated with upregulation of NF-

kB activity in T2DM patients (Nafi’ah & Nurulhuda, 2020). This is due to the promotion

of inflammation that occurs through an increase in the proportion of p-p65/ReIB as a key

molecule in NF-kB signaling. In this signaling pathway, p65 protein acts as a pro-

inflammatory while RelB has an anti-inflammatory role. Activation of NF-kB begins with

the degradation of the IκB protein which gives way to the NF-kB subunits to migrate into

the nucleus and induce transcription of proinflammatory genes. Activation of the NF-kB

signaling pathway follows-as well as in the regulation of a large number of physiological

processes and regulates many genes such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Vitamin D

downregulates NF-kB transcription dependent on genes encoding proinflammatory

cytokines such as IL-6. Recent studies have also shown that 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D can

also inhibit IκB protein degradation and decrease p65 NF-kB expression in adult human

adipocytes. In addition, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D can also inhibit p65 NF-kB

translocation to the adipocyte nucleus. Therefore, vitamin D can reduce the secretion of

proinflammatory cytokines. Vitamin D receptors in immune cells can participate in the

late stages of hydroxylation, calcitriol formation, and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines

such as TNF-α and IL-6 which are often identified as key components in the development

of insulin resistance and the incidence of T2DM. The absence of vitamin D receptors has

been shown to increase the activity of NF-kB as a transcription factor that plays a key

role in inflammation and immunoregulation. Treatment with vitamin D can inhibit NF-kB

translocation and attenuate NF-B activity.

Several investigators have found an inverse relationship between 25(OH) D and

inflammatory markers such as CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 in patients with T2DM. The

interventions also showed inconsistent findings. Some have found that vitamin D

supplementation has an effect and no effect in reducing CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 and increasing

IL-10. Patients with the metabolic syndrome given vitamin D therapy can produce

significant reductions in IL-6 but do not alter CRP concentrations. The REGARDS study

demonstrated an association between low serum 25(OH)D and elevated levels of IL-6,

CRP, and no association with IL-10 was found. At the same time, the active form of

vitamin D has been shown to reduce the production of TNF-α, IL-6, and stimulate the

production of IL-10 by immune cells. The results of this study appear to be consistent

with previously reported data regarding the association between 25(OH)D levels and

inflammatory markers, but a significant decrease in IL-6 and an increase in IL-10 was

seen only in patients receiving high doses of vitamin D (40,000 IU per week) to reach

normal 25(OH)D levels. These findings suggest that normalization of serum 25(OH)D

with high-dose cholecalciferol treatment affects inflammatory markers.

Based on, patients with vitamin D deficiency had 23% higher IL-6 levels

compared to those with normal vitamin D levels. A number of studies have shown that

inflammation appears to be one of the most important factors in the development of

diabetic nephropathy closely related to the number of inflammatory cells in the kidney.

Increased concentrations of inflammatory cytokines have been previously documented in

T2DM patients and a recent study showed that TNF-α and IL-6 levels were found to be

higher in patients with nephropathy than in T2DM patients without nephropathy. Vitamin

D supplementation can reduce the development of diabetic nephropathy by decreasing the

production of TNF-α and IL-6.

Role Of Vitamin D On IL-6 In Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Literature Review 362

Insulin resistance is closely related to obesity. In obesity, adipocyte hypertrophy

and hyperplasia cause impaired blood flow which makes the tissue hypoxic, inflamed,

and infiltrated by macrophages. This disorder is characterized by increased levels of IL-6,

IL-8, resistin, TNF-α, and monocyte chemoattractant (MCP1) as well as changes in

adiponectin secretion. Studies have shown that 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D can increase

protein IκB as an inhibitor of NF-kB by increasing mRNA stability and decreasing

phosphorylation of IκB, IL-6, MCP-1, and macrophage activation.

Consumption of vitamin D and physical activity can cause significant changes in

inflammatory markers. IL-6 has a dual role in the regulation of insulin signaling and

glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle. Increased glucose uptake in skeletal muscle by

IL-6 occurs with stimulation of AMPK and PI3K activity. Exercise significantly induces

the production and release of IL-6 into the circulation via skeletal muscle. An acute

increase in plasma IL-6 is followed by an increase in plasma levels of IL-10 and

interleukin-1 receptor agonist (IL-1ra), both of which are known to have inhibitory effects

on the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-1. Thus, exercise-

induced release of IL-6 has a protective role against systemic inflammation and improves

insulin sensitivity globally. It was also found that the induction of SOCS3 expression by

IL-6 in skeletal muscle cells did not decrease insulin action as in adipocytes and

hepatocytes.

In the study (Dadrass, Mohamadzadeh Salamat, Hamidi, & Azizbeigi, 2019),

there was the most significant reduction in inflammation in the group with vitamin D

intake combined with resistance training. Therefore, it can be concluded that vitamin D

intake combined with exercise training can lead to greater improvement in several

inflammatory markers than with one single therapy. Vitamin D supplementation had no

significant effect on IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the intervention group, compared to the

placebo group. However, cytokine levels in the intervention group decreased after

vitamin D supplementation. Although there are studies that show vitamin D has no effect

on levels of inflammatory markers, vitamin D deficiency has a pathophysiological

relationship with elevated levels of inflammatory markers, particularly IL-6. Findings

from a meta-analysis did not show a statistically significant impact of vitamin D

supplementation on TNF-α and IL-6. However, from another clinical study, vitamin D

supplementation of circulating biomarkers (TNF-α, IL-6) in T2DM patients was reported to be

decreased. In addition, in vitro studies have shown that vitamin D can inhibit IL-6 production and

can be directed against IL-6 to reduce the incidence of T2DM. Unfortunately, in this meta-analysis

there was no evidence of changes in TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations in T2DM subjects. Moreover,

in the subgroup analysis, there was no significant effect on TNF-α and IL-6 status. This may be

due to insufficient data in several randomized controlled trials on vitamin D, TNF-α, and IL-6

supplementation. Therefore, it is hoped that more randomized controlled trials will be conducted in

the future to analyze the relationship between vitamin D and IL-6 supplementation in subjects with

T2DM.

In the study (Sosale, Chandrashekara, Ramachandra Aravind, Renuka, & Anupama,

2017) a decrease in hsCRP, TNF-α, and IL-10, and an increase in IL-6 were observed in both

groups compared to baseline. The lack of unidirectional changes in inflammatory cytokines in the

group receiving vitamin D compared to the control group, suggests that vitamin D

supplementation has no significant effect on inflammatory cytokine levels. The study by

(Borzouei et al., 2019), also found that there was no significant change in the serum

levels of IL-6, a cytokine from Th17 cells, in T2DM patients.

Eduvest – Journal of Universal Studies

Volume 2 Number 2, February 2022

Stepanova et al. concluded in a single-center randomized trial that the group

receiving 40,000 IU of cholecalciferol per week for a period of six months showed

improvement in serum IL-6 (p = 0.017). Unfortunately, in the analysis of the study by

(Borzouei et al., 2019), vitamin D treatment did not support the hypothesis because the

observed changes in IL-6 concentrations were not significant in this DMT2 subject. This

could be attributed to the fact that the dose of vitamin D was lower in this study (30,000

IU/week). Vitamin D supplementation for 12 weeks in hemodialysis diabetic patients

downregulated IL-1β, TNF-α, and IFN-γ gene expression compared with placebo, but did

not affect IL-4 and IL-6 gene expression (Fauzia & Khusnia, 2020).

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, there is still much debate on the role of vitamin D in modulating IL-

6 in T2DM. Further research is needed to determine the optimal dose of vitamin D to

reduce inflammation mediated by IL-6, especially in T2DM. Further research is needed to

determine the best dose between calcemic and immunomodulating effects given that

vitamin D also has hypercalcemic and bone remodeling effects. More specific research

can also be done on the role of vitamin D in inflammation, so that it can be used as an

effective strategy in the therapy of T2DM. Lastly, a larger sample size in studies is

needed to confirm the anti-inflammatory effect of vitamin D. In addition, additional

research will help in expanding our understanding of how vitamin D ameliorates

inflammation in patients with T2DM.
