Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is an autoimmune disorder of unknown etiology with dysregulated cytokines levels.
The main aim of this study was to assess the clinical correlation between antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) serum levels of the microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), serum levels of the proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin (IL)-32 and interleukin-6.
Study included 71 patients, 47 with GPA and 24 with MPA. Serum IL-32 and IL-6 concentrations were analyzed in all patients, and compared with levels observed in 10 controls. IL-32 and IL-6 were evaluated using DuoSet and Quantikine HS ELISA, respectively. IL-32 and IL-6 concentrations were correlated with disease-related clinical and laboratory findings.
IL-32 and IL-6 levels were significantly higher in GPA and MPA than in controls, especially IL-32 levels in GPA were elevated. IL-32 concentrations correlated positively with anti-proteinase 3 - ANCA (PR3-ANCA) levels in GPA (P < 0.0001), and with anti-myeloperoxidase ANCA (MPO-ANCA) in MPA (P = 0.049). IL-32 levels correlated positively with disease activity in GPA and MPA (P < 0.0001). GPA patients with pulmonary, cutaneous, and musculoskeletal involvement presented the highest IL-6 serum levels. Cutaneous manifestations correlated positively with IL-6 levels in MPA patients (P = 0.05). ANCA-positive patients with GPA expressed significantly high IL-6 levels (P = 0.036). No significant difference in IL-32 values was observed between ANCA-positive and ANCA-negative patients.
Patients with GPA and MPA present higher serum IL-32 and IL-6 levels than controls. IL-32 levels correlate positively with disease activity.
抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(ANCA)相关性血管炎是一种病因不明的自身免疫性疾病,伴有细胞因子水平失调。
本研究的主要目的是评估抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(ANCA)相关性血管炎、肉芽肿性多血管炎(GPA)和显微镜下多血管炎(MPA)的血清水平、促炎细胞因子白细胞介素(IL)-32 和白细胞介素-6(IL-6)之间的临床相关性。
研究纳入了 71 名患者,其中 47 名患有 GPA,24 名患有 MPA。对所有患者进行血清 IL-32 和 IL-6 浓度分析,并与 10 名对照者的水平进行比较。使用 DuoSet 和 Quantikine HS ELISA 分别评估 IL-32 和 IL-6。评估 IL-32 和 IL-6 浓度与疾病相关的临床和实验室发现的相关性。
GPA 和 MPA 患者的 IL-32 和 IL-6 水平明显高于对照组,尤其是 GPA 患者的 IL-32 水平升高。IL-32 浓度与 GPA 中抗蛋白酶 3-ANCA(PR3-ANCA)水平呈正相关(P<0.0001),与 MPA 中抗髓过氧化物酶 ANCA(MPO-ANCA)水平呈正相关(P=0.049)。IL-32 水平与 GPA 和 MPA 中的疾病活动呈正相关(P<0.0001)。肺部、皮肤和肌肉骨骼受累的 GPA 患者血清 IL-6 水平最高。皮肤表现与 MPA 患者的 IL-6 水平呈正相关(P=0.05)。抗 PR3-ANCA 的 GPA 阳性患者表达的 IL-6 水平显著升高(P=0.036)。在抗 PR3-ANCA 的 GPA 患者中,IL-32 值无显著差异。
GPA 和 MPA 患者的血清 IL-32 和 IL-6 水平高于对照组。IL-32 水平与疾病活动呈正相关。
