The clinical significance of human S100A8/A9 (h-S100A8/A9) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is poorly understood.
To clarify whether serum S100A8/A9 is a sensitive biomarker for IBD.
Serum specimens from outpatients with IBD (n = 101) and healthy volunteers (HVs) (n = 101) were used in this study. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for h-S100A8/A9 and inflammatory cytokines were performed using these specimens. Further, correlation analysis was performed to investigate the significance of h-S100A8/A9 fluctuation in patients with IBD.
The average of serum h-S100A8/A9 concentration in outpatients with IBD was significantly higher than that in HVs. The concentration of h-S100A8/A9 in patients with IBD was barely correlated with that of CRP and inflammatory cytokines. Despite that finding, the serum level of h-S100A8/A9 in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) was correlated with the severity of IBD, compared with other inflammatory proteins.
Serum h-S100A8/A9 is superior to CRP as a sensitive biomarker for IBD.
人类S100A8/A9(h-S100A8/A9)在炎症性肠病(IBD)患者中的临床意义尚不清楚。
阐明血清S100A8/A9是否为IBD的敏感生物标志物。
本研究使用了IBD门诊患者(n = 101)和健康志愿者(HV,n = 101)的血清标本。使用这些标本进行h-S100A8/A9和炎性细胞因子的酶联免疫吸附测定。此外,进行相关性分析以研究IBD患者中h-S100A8/A9波动的意义。
IBD门诊患者血清h-S100A8/A9浓度的平均值显著高于健康志愿者。IBD患者中h-S100A8/A9的浓度与CRP和炎性细胞因子的浓度几乎没有相关性。尽管有这一发现,但与其他炎性蛋白相比,溃疡性结肠炎(UC)患者血清h-S100A8/A9水平与IBD严重程度相关。
血清h-S100A8/A9作为IBD的敏感生物标志物优于CRP。
