Abstract

Background and aims: To explore association of serum hyaluronidase 1 (HYAL1) level in early pregnancy with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and to examine interactive effects of HYAL1 with ceramides species on GDM risk. Materials and methods: We conducted a 1:1 matched case-control study (n = 414) of pregnant women from 2010 to 2012 in Tianjin, China. Blood samples were collected at the first antenatal care visit (at a median of 10th gestational weeks). Binary conditional logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were used to examine full-range risk association between HYAL1 and GDM. Additive interactions and multiplicative interactions were employed to test interactive effects of HYAL1 with ceramides species on GDM risk. Results: Ln HYAL1 was linearly associated with GDM risk and the adjusted OR of HYAL1 ≥ vs. < its median for GDM was significant (1.65, 95%CI: 1.08–2.52). High HYAL1 markedly enhanced the ORs of high ceramide 18:0 for GDM from 2.31 (1.06–5.01) to 6.74 (2.85–16.0), and low ceramide 24:0 from 3.08 (1.33–7.11) to 8.15 (3.03–21.9), with significant additive interactions. Conclusions: High HYAL1 in early pregnancy may increase the risk of GDM in Chinese women, possibly via enhancing the effects of high ceramide 18:0 and low ceramide 24:0 on GDM risk.
