Specialised pro-resolving mediator (SPM) can dampen the acute inflammation through ERV1, ALX/FPR2 and BLT1 cell receptors and it is conceivable that their expression is dysregulated during chronic inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of ERV1, ALX/FPR2 and BLT1 on peripheral blood (PB) cells from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.
At baseline, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), clinimetric indexes (28-joint disease activity score (DAS28) and clinical disease activity index (CDAI)), and PB samples were collected from 33 RA patients. Based on DAS28, patients were divided into high-moderate (H-Mo/RA, DAS28≥3.2) and low-remission (L-Rem/RA, DAS28<3.2) disease activity group. Cell membrane expression of ERV1, ALX/FPR2 and BLT1 on CD3pos, CD19pos, CD14pos cells and granulocytes was assessed by multi-parametric flow-cytometry analysis. Nine healthy controls (HC) were also studied.
Sixteen H-Mo/RA and 17 L-Rem/RA patients were identified. The percentage of BLT1posCD14pos cells was significantly higher in L-Rem/RA (47.17%) than in H-Mo/RA (14.27%) group (p=0.005). Likewise, the percentage ALX/FPR2pos CD14pos cells was significantly higher in L-Rem/RA (33.02%) than in H-Mo/RA (8.77%; p=0.04) patients. An inverse correlation between BLT1posCD14pos cell percentage and DAS28 (r=-0.42; p=0.01), CDAI (r=-0.51; p=0.003), ESR (r=-0.39; p=0.025) and CRP (r=-0.40; p=0.02), ALX/FPR2posCD14pos cell percentage and CRP (r=-0.39; p=0.02) were found, while SPM-receptors mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was not different between HC and L-Rem/RA patients.
ALX/FPR2 and BLT1 receptors expression mirrors RA disease activity arising as potential biomarkers of inflammatory regulation.
特殊的促解决介质 (SPM) 可以通过 ERV1、ALX/FPR2 和 BLT1 细胞受体来抑制急性炎症,并且可以想象,它们的表达在慢性炎症期间会失调。本研究的目的是评估类风湿关节炎 (RA) 患者外周血 (PB) 细胞中 ERV1、ALX/FPR2 和 BLT1 的表达。
在基线时,采集了 33 名 RA 患者的红细胞沉降率 (ESR)、C 反应蛋白 (CRP)、临床指标(28 关节疾病活动评分 (DAS28) 和临床疾病活动指数 (CDAI))和 PB 样本。根据 DAS28,患者被分为高-中度 (H-Mo/RA,DAS28≥3.2) 和低缓解 (L-Rem/RA,DAS28<3.2) 疾病活动组。通过多参数流式细胞术分析评估 CD3pos、CD19pos、CD14pos 细胞和粒细胞上 ERV1、ALX/FPR2 和 BLT1 的细胞膜表达。还研究了 9 名健康对照 (HC)。
确定了 16 名 H-Mo/RA 和 17 名 L-Rem/RA 患者。L-Rem/RA(47.17%)组中 BLT1posCD14pos 细胞的百分比明显高于 H-Mo/RA(14.27%)组(p=0.005)。同样,L-Rem/RA(33.02%)患者中 ALX/FPR2posCD14pos 细胞的百分比也明显高于 H-Mo/RA(8.77%;p=0.04)患者。BLT1posCD14pos 细胞百分比与 DAS28(r=-0.42;p=0.01)、CDAI(r=-0.51;p=0.003)、ESR(r=-0.39;p=0.025)和 CRP(r=-0.40;p=0.02)呈负相关,而 ALX/FPR2posCD14pos 细胞百分比与 CRP(r=-0.39;p=0.02)呈负相关,而 SPM 受体平均荧光强度 (MFI) 在 HC 和 L-Rem/RA 患者之间没有差异。
ALX/FPR2 和 BLT1 受体的表达反映了 RA 疾病活动,可作为炎症调节的潜在生物标志物。
