CD89 (FcRI), the receptor of IgA, can shed from cells to form complexes with IgA in serum and is supposed to participate in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). There are contradictory results on their utility in clinical practice. This study is aimed at investigating whether sCD89-IgA complexes can help in the diagnosis or evaluation of the disease.
A sandwich ELISA was established using anti-CD89 as a capture antibody and HRP-conjugated anti-IgA as a detection antibody. This method was used to measure serum levels of sCD89-IgA complexes in IgAN patients without immunosuppressant history and healthy subjects. Correlations between serum levels of sCD89-IgA complexes and disease severity were analyzed.
Serum sCD89-IgA complexes increased with age ( < 0.001). IgAN patients had higher sCD89-IgA complex levels compared with age- and gender-matched normal healthy individuals ( < 0.001). IgAN patients had higher sCD89-IgA complex levels compared with age- and gender-matched normal healthy individuals ( < 0.001). IgAN patients had higher sCD89-IgA complex levels compared with age- and gender-matched normal healthy individuals (.
Serum sCD89-IgA complexes can guide diagnosis of IgAN in patients without immunosuppressant history, but provide limited help in clinicopathologic prediction.
CD89(FcRI)是 IgA 的受体,可从细胞上脱落形成与血清中 IgA 的复合物,被认为参与 IgA 肾病(IgAN)的发病机制。其在临床实践中的应用价值存在争议。本研究旨在探讨 sCD89-IgA 复合物是否有助于诊断或评估该疾病。
采用夹心 ELISA 法,以抗-CD89 为捕获抗体,HRP 标记的抗-IgA 为检测抗体。该方法用于测量无免疫抑制剂史的 IgAN 患者和健康对照者血清中 sCD89-IgA 复合物的水平。分析血清 sCD89-IgA 复合物水平与疾病严重程度的相关性。
血清 sCD89-IgA 复合物随年龄增长而增加(<0.001)。IgAN 患者的 sCD89-IgA 复合物水平高于年龄和性别匹配的正常健康对照者(<0.001)。IgAN 患者的 sCD89-IgA 复合物水平高于年龄和性别匹配的正常健康对照者(<0.001)。
血清 sCD89-IgA 复合物可指导无免疫抑制剂史的 IgAN 患者的诊断,但在临床病理预测方面提供的帮助有限。
