Inflammation may play an important role in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD), and recent studies have identified the 70-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp70) as an important mediator of inflammatory responses. Here we demonstrate a significant increase in circulating serum Hsp70 level in SCD during vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC) as compared with baseline steady-state levels (P <0.05) and a significant increase in Hsp70 levels in SCD at baseline compared with normal controls (P <0.05). Taken together, these results indicate that circulating serum Hsp70 might be a marker for VOC in SCD.
炎症可能在镰状细胞病(SCD)的病理生理学中起重要作用,最近的研究已确定70 kDa热休克蛋白(Hsp70)是炎症反应的重要介质。在此我们证明,与基线稳态水平相比,SCD患者在血管闭塞性危机(VOC)期间循环血清Hsp70水平显著升高(P <0.05),并且与正常对照相比,SCD患者基线时Hsp70水平显著升高(P <0.05)。综上所述,这些结果表明循环血清Hsp70可能是SCD中VOC的一个标志物。
