Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis. PsA disease involves flares, which are associated with increased joint inflammation and tissue remodeling. There is a need for identifying biomarkers related to PsA disease activity and flares to improve the management of PsA patients and decrease flares. The tissue turnover imbalance that occurs during the inflammatory and fibro-proliferative processes during flares leads to an increased degradation and/or reorganization of the extracellular matrix (ECM), where increased proteolysis plays a key role. Hence, protease-mediated fragments of inflammatory and tissue-remodeling components could be used as markers reflecting flares in PsA patients. A broad panel of protease-mediated biomarkers reflecting inflammation and tissue remodeling was measured in serum and synovial fluid (SF) obtained from PsA patients experiencing flares (acutely swollen joint[s], PsA-flare). In serum, biomarker levels assessed in PsA-flare patients were compared to controls and in early-diagnosed PsA patients not experiencing flares (referred to as PsA without flare). Furthermore, the biomarker levels assessed in SF from PsA-flare patients were compared to the levels in SF of osteoarthritis (OA) patients. In serum, levels of the PRO-C3 and C3M, reflecting formation and degradation of the interstitial matrix, were found significantly elevated in PsA-flare compared to controls and PsA without flare. The remodeling marker of the basement membrane, PRO-C4, was significantly elevated in PsA-flare compared to PsA without flare. The inflammation and immune cell activity related markers, CRPM, VICM, and CPa9-HNE were significantly elevated in PsA-flare patients compared to controls and PsA without flare. In addition, VICM (AUC = 0.71), CPa9-HNE (AUC = 0.89), CRPM (AUC = 0.76), and PRO-C3 (AUC = 0.86) showed good discriminatory performance for separating PsA-flare from PsA without flare. In SF, the macrophage activity marker, VICM, was significantly elevated whereas the type II collagen formation marker, PRO-C2, was significantly reduced in the PsA-flare compared to OA. The combination of five serum markers reflecting type III and IV collagen degradation (C3M and C4M, respectively), type III and VI collagen formation (PRO-C3 and PRO-C6, respectively), and neutrophil activity (CPa9-HNE) showed an excellent discriminatory performance (AUC = 0.98) for separating PsA-flare from PsA without flares. The serum biomarker panel of C3M, C4M, PRO-C3, PRO-C6, and CPa9-HNE reflecting synovitis, enthesitis, and neutrophil activity may serve as novel tool for quantitatively monitoring flares in PsA patients.
银屑病关节炎(PsA)是一种与银屑病相关的炎症性关节炎。PsA 疾病会复发,这与关节炎症加重和组织重塑有关。目前需要确定与 PsA 疾病活动和复发有关的生物标志物,以改善对 PsA 患者的管理并减少复发。炎症和纤维增生过程中出现的组织更替失衡会导致细胞外基质(ECM)降解和/或重组增加,其中蛋白水解增加起着关键作用。因此,蛋白酶介导的炎症和组织重塑成分片段可用作反映 PsA 患者病情发作的标志物。研究人员测量了PsA复发(急性关节肿胀,PsA-复发)患者血清和滑液(SF)中反映炎症和组织重塑的一系列蛋白酶介导的生物标记物。在血清中,PsA 病发患者的生物标记物水平评估结果与对照组和未发生病发的早期诊断 PsA 患者(称为未发生病发的 PsA 患者)的生物标记物水平进行了比较。此外,还将 PsA 复发患者自体组织中评估的生物标志物水平与骨关节炎(OA)患者自体组织中的水平进行了比较。在血清中,PRO-C3和C3M的水平反映了间质基质的形成和降解,与对照组和未发作的PsA相比,PsA发作期患者的PRO-C3和C3M水平明显升高。与未发作的 PsA 相比,发作期 PsA 的基底膜重塑标志物 PRO-C4 明显升高。与对照组和未发作的 PsA 相比,发作期 PsA 患者的炎症和免疫细胞活性相关标记物 CRPM、VICM 和 CPa9-HNE 明显升高。此外,VICM(AUC = 0.71)、CPa9-HNE(AUC = 0.89)、CRPM(AUC = 0.76)和PRO-C3(AUC = 0.86)在区分PsA发作和非发作PsA方面表现出良好的鉴别性能。在 SF 中,与 OA 相比,PsA-发作期的巨噬细胞活性标记物 VICM 明显升高,而 II 型胶原形成标记物 PRO-C2 则明显降低。反映Ⅲ型和Ⅳ型胶原降解(分别为C3M和C4M)、Ⅲ型和Ⅵ型胶原形成(分别为PRO-C3和PRO-C6)以及中性粒细胞活性(CPa9-HNE)的五种血清标记物组合在区分PsA-flare和PsA-flare方面表现出极佳的鉴别性能(AUC = 0.98)。由 C3M、C4M、PRO-C3、PRO-C6 和 CPa9-HNE 组成的反映滑膜炎、粘膜炎和中性粒细胞活性的血清生物标记物面板可作为定量监测 PsA 患者复发的新型工具。

The 2022 European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society (ESC/ERS) guideline has recently revised the hemodynamic definition of pulmonary arterial hypertension. However, there is currently limited research on the prognosis and treatment of system lupus erythematosus-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SLE-PAH) patients that have been reclassified by the new hemodynamic definition. This study aims to analyze the prognosis of newly reclassified SLE-PAH patients and provide recommendations for the management strategy. This retrospective study analyzed records of 236 SLE-PAH patients who visited Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) from 2011 to 2023, among whom 22 patients were reclassified into mild SLE-PAH (mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) of 21–24 mmHg, pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) of 2–3 WU, and PAWP ≤ 15 mmHg) according to the guidelines and 14 were defined as unclassified SLE-PAH patients (mPAP 21–24 mmHg and PVR ≤ 2 WU). The prognosis was compared among mild SLE-PAH, unclassified SLE-PH, and conventional SLE-PAH patients (mPAP ≥ 25 mmHg and PVR > 3WU). Besides, the effectiveness of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-specific therapy was evaluated in mild SLE-PAH patients. Those mild SLE-PAH patients had significantly longer progression-free time than the conventional SLE-PAH patients. Among the mild SLE-PAH patients, 4 did not receive PAH-specific therapy and had a similar prognosis as patients not receiving specific therapy. This study supports the revised hemodynamic definition of SLE-PAH in the 2022 ESC/ERS guideline. Those mild and unclassified SLE-PH patients had a better prognosis, demonstrating the possibility and significance of early diagnosis and intervention for SLE-PAH. This study also proposed a hypothesis that IIT against SLE might be sufficient for those reclassified SLE-PAH patients.
2022 年欧洲心脏病学会/欧洲呼吸学会(ESC/ERS)指南最近修订了肺动脉高压的血液动力学定义。然而,目前有关系统性红斑狼疮相关性肺动脉高压(SLE-PAH)患者的预后和治疗的研究还很有限。本研究旨在分析新近被重新分类的系统性红斑狼疮相关性肺动脉高压患者的预后,并为治疗策略提供建议。这项回顾性研究分析了2011年至2023年期间在北京协和医院就诊的236名SLE-PAH患者的病历,其中22名患者被重新分类为轻度SLE-PAH(平均肺动脉压(mPAP)为21-24 mmHg、肺血管阻力(PVR)为 2-3 WU,PAWP ≤ 15 mmHg),14 名患者被定义为未分类的 SLE-PAH 患者(mPAP 为 21-24 mmHg,PVR ≤ 2 WU)。对轻度 SLE-PAH、未分类 SLE-PAH 和常规 SLE-PAH 患者(mPAP ≥ 25 mmHg 和 PVR > 3 WU)的预后进行了比较。此外,还对轻度系统性红斑狼疮-PAH 患者的肺动脉高压(PAH)特异性治疗效果进行了评估。与传统的系统性红斑狼疮-PAH患者相比,轻度系统性红斑狼疮-PAH患者的无进展时间明显更长。在轻度系统性红斑狼疮-PAH患者中,有4人未接受PAH特异性治疗,其预后与未接受特异性治疗的患者相似。这项研究支持2022年ESC/ERS指南中修订后的SLE-PAH血液动力学定义。那些轻度和未分类的系统性红斑狼疮-PAH 患者预后较好,这说明了早期诊断和干预系统性红斑狼疮-PAH 的可能性和意义。这项研究还提出了一个假设,即对于那些重新分类的系统性红斑狼疮-PAH 患者,针对系统性红斑狼疮的 IIT 可能就足够了。

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, potentially debilitating inflammatory arthritis often associated with psoriasis. Understanding the epidemiology of PsA across diverse populations can provide valuable insights into its global burden and the role of genetic and environmental factors. This study aimed to estimate PsA’s temporal trends, prevalence, and incidence, while assessing variations in age, gender, and ethnicity in Israel from 2016 to 2022. Data were sourced from the Clalit Health Services (CHS) database, covering over half of the Israeli population. Algorithm-based definitions for PsA and psoriasis cases were used. Demographic factors, including age, gender, socioeconomic status (SES), ethnicity, urban/rural residence, BMI, and smoking status, were analyzed. Standardized prevalence and incidence rates were calculated. Logistic regression analyses examined associations of sociodemographic variables with PsA. In 2022, the prevalence of PsA was 0.221%, with an incidence rate of 13.54 per 100,000 population. This prevalence has tripled since 2006, reflecting a rising trend in PsA over time. Females exhibited a higher prevalence (1.15; 95%CI 1.09–1.21), and PsA was more common in Jewish individuals (1.58; 95%CI 1.45–1.71) those with higher SES (1.4; 95% CI 1.31, 1.5), and those with obesity (2.17; 95%CI 2.04–2.31). This comprehensive population-based study pointed to an increase prevalence of PsA, emphasizing the rising healthcare demands and economic burden faced by this patient population. Further research is essential to delve into the factors driving these trends.
银屑病关节炎(PsA)是一种慢性、可能使人衰弱的炎症性关节炎,通常与银屑病有关。了解 PsA 在不同人群中的流行病学可为了解其全球负担以及遗传和环境因素的作用提供有价值的见解。本研究旨在估算 PsA 的时间趋势、患病率和发病率,同时评估 2016 年至 2022 年以色列的年龄、性别和种族差异。数据来源于Clalit健康服务(CHS)数据库,该数据库覆盖了以色列一半以上的人口。采用基于算法的 PsA 和银屑病病例定义。分析了人口统计学因素,包括年龄、性别、社会经济地位 (SES)、种族、城市/农村居住地、体重指数和吸烟状况。计算了标准化患病率和发病率。逻辑回归分析检验了社会人口学变量与 PsA 的关联。2022 年,PsA 患病率为 0.221%,发病率为每 10 万人 13.54 例。这一患病率自2006年以来增加了两倍,反映出PsA随着时间的推移呈上升趋势。女性发病率更高(1.15;95%CI 1.09-1.21),PsA 在犹太人(1.58;95%CI 1.45-1.71)、社会经济地位较高者(1.4;95%CI 1.31,1.5)和肥胖者(2.17;95%CI 2.04-2.31)中更为常见。这项以人群为基础的综合研究表明,PsA 的患病率正在上升,强调了这一患者群体所面临的日益增长的医疗保健需求和经济负担。进一步的研究对于深入探讨推动这些趋势的因素至关重要。

Background: Previously, fragments from Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) were identified in preclinical and clinical samples to display an increase in serum levels for N-terminal (NT) SIRT1 vs. C-terminal (CT) SIRT1, indicative of early signs of OA. Here we tested NT/CT SIRT1 levels as well as a novel formulated sandwich assay to simultaneously detect both domains of SIRT1 in a manner that may inform us about the levels of full-length SIRT1 in the circulation (flSIRT1) of clinical cohorts undergoing knee joint distraction (KJD).

Methods: We employed an indirect ELISA assay to test NT- and CT-SIRT1 levels and calculated their ratio. Further, to test flSIRT1 we utilized novel antibodies (Ab), which were validated for site specificity and used in a sandwich ELISA method, wherein the CT-reactive served as capture Ab, and its NT-reactive served as primary detection Ab. This method was employed in human serum samples derived from a two-year longitudinal study of KJD patients. Two-year clinical and structural outcomes were correlated with serum levels of flSIRT1 compared to baseline.

Results: Assessing the cohort, exhibited a significant increase of NT/CT SIRT1 serum levels with increased osteophytes and PIIANP/CTX-II at baseline, while a contradictory increase in NT/CT SIRT1 was associated with less denuded bone, post-KJD. On the other hand, flSIRT1 exhibited an upward trend in serum level, accompanied by reduced denuded bone for 2-year adjusted values. Moreover, 2 year-adjusted flSIRT1 levels displayed a steeper linear regression for cartilage and bone-related structural improvement than those observed for NT/CT SIRT1.

Conclusions: Our data support that increased flSIRT1 serum levels are a potential molecular endotype for cartilage-related structural improvement post-KJD, while NT/CT SIRT1 appears to correlate with osteophyte and PIIANP/CTX-II reduction at baseline, to potentially indicate baseline OA severity.

背景:以前,在临床前和临床样本中发现 Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) 片段显示 N 端 (NT) SIRT1 相对于 C 端 (CT) SIRT1 的血清水平升高,这表明 OA 的早期症状。在这里,我们测试了NT/CT SIRT1的水平,以及一种新型配方夹心检测法,该方法可同时检测SIRT1的两个结构域,从而让我们了解接受膝关节牵张术(KJD)的临床人群循环中全长SIRT1(flSIRT1)的水平:我们采用间接酶联免疫吸附试验检测了NT-和CT-SIRT1的水平,并计算了它们的比值。此外,为了检测 flSIRT1,我们使用了新型抗体(Ab),这些抗体经过了位点特异性验证,并用于夹心 ELISA 方法,其中 CT 反应型抗体作为捕获抗体,NT 反应型抗体作为主要检测抗体。这种方法被用于对 KJD 患者进行为期两年的纵向研究,并在人类血清样本中进行了应用。与基线相比,两年的临床和结构结果与血清中的 flSIRT1 水平相关:结果:在对队列进行评估后发现,基线时,NT/CT SIRT1血清水平的显著增加与骨质增生和PIIANP/CTX-II的增加有关,而NT/CT SIRT1的增加与KJD后较少的骨质变性有关。另一方面,flSIRT1 的血清水平呈上升趋势,2 年调整后的值与骨质疏松减少有关。此外,与 NT/CT SIRT1 相比,2 年调整后的 flSIRT1 水平对软骨和骨相关结构改善的线性回归更为陡峭:我们的数据表明,flSIRT1血清水平的升高是KJD术后软骨相关结构改善的潜在分子内型,而NT/CT SIRT1似乎与基线时骨质增生和PIIANP/CTX-II的减少相关,可能表明基线OA的严重程度。

Background: Tofacitinib is an oral Janus kinase inhibitor for treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Time to improvement in core domains of AS was estimated in tofacitinib-treated patients with AS.

Methods: This post hoc analysis used phase 3 trial data from patients with AS receiving tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily or placebo to week (W)16; all patients received open-label tofacitinib W16-48.

Outcomes: nocturnal pain; total back pain; fatigue, spinal pain, peripheral joint pain/swelling, enthesitis, and morning stiffness (Bath AS Disease Activity Index [BASDAI] questions 1-6); BASDAI total score; AS Disease Activity Score (ASDAS). Median time to improvement events was estimated using non-parametric Kaplan-Meier models. Improvement events were defined as initial (first post-baseline observation) and continued (sustained for 2 consecutive visits) ≥ 30% and ≥ 50% improvement in back/nocturnal pain or BASDAI questions/total scores, or ASDAS improvement ≥ 1.1 and ≥ 2.0 points.

Results: 269 patients (tofacitinib: n = 133; placebo-to-tofacitinib: n = 136) were assessed. Median time to improvement was shorter, and more patients experienced improvements with tofacitinib vs. placebo-to-tofacitinib; differences observed from W2 (first post-baseline assessment). Median time to initial (continued) ≥ 30% pain improvement was 4 (4-8) weeks for tofacitinib vs. 24 (24) weeks for placebo-to-tofacitinib (8 [8] weeks post-switch). Median time to initial (continued) ≥ 50% improvement of pain, peripheral joint pain/swelling and enthesitis, morning stiffness, BASDAI total score, and fatigue was 8-24 (12-40) weeks with tofacitinib vs. 24-32 weeks (32 weeks-not estimable [NE]) with placebo-to-tofacitinib. Median time to initial (continued) ASDAS improvement ≥ 1.1 points was 4 (8) weeks for tofacitinib vs. 24 (24) weeks for placebo-to-tofacitinib, and NE for improvement ≥ 2.0 points with either treatment.

Conclusions: Improvements in AS core domains occurred more rapidly with tofacitinib vs. placebo-to-tofacitinib. Half of tofacitinib-treated patients with AS will likely experience improvements ≥ 30% in pain and ≥ 1.1 points in ASDAS during month (M)1, ≥ 50% improvement in nocturnal pain and enthesitis by M2, and in morning stiffness by M3. Results show that initiating tofacitinib as soon as possible is associated with quicker improvements in AS core domains vs. delaying treatment.

Epidemiological observational studies have elucidated a correlation between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and bronchiectasis. However, the causal nature of this association remains ambiguous. To clarify this potential causal linkage, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to explore the bidirectional causality between RA and bronchiectasis. Summary statistics for RA and bronchiectasis were obtained from the IEU OpenGWAS database We employed various methods, including inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR-Egger, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode, to explore potential causal links between RA and bronchiectasis. Additionally, a series of sensitivity studies, such as Cochran’s Q test, MR Egger intercept test, and leave-one-out analysis, were conducted to assess the MR analysis’s accuracy further. In the forward MR analysis, the primary analysis indicated that a genetic predisposition to RA correlated with an increased risk of bronchiectasis in European populations (IVW odds ratio (OR): 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.20–1.37, p = 1.18E-13). Comparable results were noted in the East Asian subjects (IVW OR: 1.55, 95% CI: 1.30–1.34, p = 8.33E-07). The OR estimates from the other four methods were consistent with those obtained from the IVW method. Sensitivity analysis detected no evidence of horizontal pleiotropy or heterogeneity. Conversely, in the reverse MR analysis, we found no evidence to support a genetic causality between bronchiectasis and RA in either European or East Asian populations. This study indicates that genetic predisposition to RA correlates with a heightened risk of bronchiectasis in both European and East Asian populations. These results imply that routine screening for bronchiectasis in RA patients could be beneficial, and effective management of RA may contribute to a reduced risk of bronchiectasis. Future research should aim to clarify the underlying mechanisms linking these two conditions.
流行病学观察研究阐明了类风湿性关节炎(RA)与支气管扩张之间的相关性。然而,这种关联的因果关系仍不明确。为了澄清这种潜在的因果联系,我们进行了双样本孟德尔随机化(MR)分析,以探讨 RA 与支气管扩张之间的双向因果关系。我们采用了多种方法,包括反方差加权(IVW)、MR-Egger、加权中位数、加权模式和简单模式,来探讨 RA 和支气管扩张之间的潜在因果联系。此外,还进行了一系列敏感性研究,如科克兰Q检验、MR-Egger截距检验和leave-one-out分析,以进一步评估MR分析的准确性。在前瞻性 MR 分析中,主要分析表明,在欧洲人群中,RA 遗传易感性与支气管扩张症风险的增加相关(IVW 比值比 (OR): 1.28, 95% 置信区间 (CI): 1.20-1.37, p = 1.18E-13)。东亚受试者的结果与此相当(IVW OR:1.55,95% CI:1.30-1.34,p = 8.33E-07)。其他四种方法得出的 OR 估计值与 IVW 方法得出的结果一致。敏感性分析没有发现水平多向性或异质性的证据。相反,在反向 MR 分析中,我们没有发现任何证据支持欧洲或东亚人群中支气管扩张症与 RA 之间的遗传因果关系。本研究表明,在欧洲和东亚人群中,RA 的遗传易感性与支气管扩张症的高风险相关。这些结果表明,对 RA 患者进行支气管扩张症的常规筛查可能是有益的,对 RA 的有效管理可能有助于降低支气管扩张症的风险。未来的研究应致力于阐明这两种疾病之间的内在联系。

Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) play a central role in RA pathogenesis and are the main cellular component in the inflamed synovium of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). FLSs are emerging as promising new therapeutic targets in RA. However, fibroblasts perform many essential functions that are required for sustaining tissue homeostasis. Direct targeting of general fibroblast markers on FLSs is challenging because fibroblasts in other tissues might be altered and side effects such as reduced wound healing or fibrosis can occur. To date, no FLS-specific targeted therapies have been applied in the clinical management of RA. With the help of high-throughput technologies such as scRNA-seq in recent years, several specific pathogenic FLS subsets in RA have been identified. Understanding the characteristics of these pathogenic FLS clusters and the mechanisms that drive their differentiation can provide new insights into the development of novel FLS-targeting strategies for RA. Here, we discuss the pathogenic FLS subsets in RA that have been elucidated in recent years and potential strategies for targeting pathogenic FLSs.
成纤维细胞样滑膜细胞(FLSs)在类风湿性关节炎(RA)发病机制中起着核心作用,是类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者炎症滑膜中的主要细胞成分。成纤维细胞正在成为治疗类风湿性关节炎的新靶点。然而,成纤维细胞具有许多维持组织稳态所需的基本功能。直接靶向FLS上的一般成纤维细胞标记物具有挑战性,因为其他组织中的成纤维细胞可能会发生改变,并可能产生副作用,如伤口愈合能力下降或纤维化。迄今为止,还没有针对FLS的靶向疗法应用于RA的临床治疗。近年来,在scRNA-seq等高通量技术的帮助下,人们发现了几种RA的特异性致病FLS亚群。了解这些致病性FLS集群的特征及其分化的驱动机制,可为开发治疗RA的新型FLS靶向策略提供新的见解。在此,我们将讨论近年来已阐明的RA致病性FLS亚群以及针对致病性FLS的潜在策略。

To perform a detailed morphological analysis of the inorganic portion of two different clinical presentations of calcium-based deposits retrieved from subjects with SSc and identify a chemical dissolution of these deposits suitable for clinical use. Chemical analysis using Fourier Transform IR spectroscopy (‘FTIR’), Raman microscopy, Powder X-Ray Diffraction (‘PXRD’), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (‘TEM’) was undertaken of two distinct types of calcinosis deposits: paste and stone. Calcinosis sample titration with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (‘EDTA’) assessed the concentration at which the EDTA dissolved the calcinosis deposits in vitro. FTIR spectra of the samples displayed peaks characteristic of hydroxyapatite, where signals attributable to the phosphate and carbonate ions were all identified. Polymorph characterization using Raman spectra were identical to a hydroxyapatite reference while the PXRD and electron diffraction patterns conclusively identified the mineral present as hydroxyapatite. TEM analysis showed differences of morphology between the samples. Rounded particles from stone samples were up to a few micron in size, while needle-like crystals from paste samples reached up to 0.5 µm in length. Calcium phosphate deposits were effectively dissolved with 3% aqueous solutions of EDTA, in vitro. Complete dissolution of both types of deposit was achieved in approximately 30 min using a molar ratio of EDTA/HAp of ≈ 300. Stone and paste calcium-based deposits both comprise hydroxyapatite, but the constituent crystals vary in size and morphology. Hydroxyapatite is the only crystalline polymorph present in the SSc-related calcinosis deposits. Hydroxyapatite can be dissolved in vitro using a dosage of EDTA considered safe for clinical application. Further research is required to establish the optimal medium to develop the medical product, determine the protocol for clinical application, and to assess the effectiveness of EDTA for local treatment of dystrophic calcinosis.
对从 SSc 患者身上提取的两种不同临床表现的钙基沉积物的无机部分进行详细的形态分析,并确定适合临床使用的化学溶解这些沉积物的方法。使用傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、拉曼显微镜、粉末 X 射线衍射(PXRD)和透射电子显微镜(TEM)对两种不同类型的钙化沉积物(糊状和石状)进行了化学分析。用乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)滴定钙化样本,以评估 EDTA 在体外溶解钙化沉积物的浓度。样品的傅立叶变换红外光谱显示出羟基磷灰石的特征峰,其中磷酸盐和碳酸盐离子的信号都被识别出来。利用拉曼光谱进行的多晶型表征与羟基磷灰石参照物完全相同,而 PXRD 和电子衍射图则确定了羟基磷灰石矿物的存在。TEM 分析显示了不同样品之间的形态差异。石材样品中的圆形颗粒大小可达几微米,而浆状样品中的针状晶体长度可达 0.5 微米。在体外,3% 的乙二胺四乙酸(EDTA)水溶液可有效溶解磷酸钙沉积物。EDTA/HAp 的摩尔比≈ 300 时,两种沉积物都能在约 30 分钟内完全溶解。结石和糊状钙基沉积物都由羟基磷灰石组成,但组成晶体的大小和形态各异。羟基磷灰石是与 SSc 相关的钙化沉积物中唯一存在的多晶体。羟基磷灰石可在体外溶解,使用的 EDTA 剂量被认为对临床应用是安全的。还需要进一步研究,以确定开发医疗产品的最佳介质,确定临床应用方案,并评估 EDTA 用于局部治疗营养不良性钙化症的效果。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of macrophage polarization in the pathogenesis of primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS). Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from 30 patients with pSS and 30 healthy controls. Minor salivary gland samples were abtainted from 10 of these patients and 10 non-pSS controls whose minor salivary gland didn’t fulfill the classification criteria for pSS. Enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay was used to examine the serum concentration of M1/M2 macrophage related cytokines (TNF-a, IL-6, IL-23, IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-β). Flow cytometry was used to examine the numbers of CD86+ M1 macrophages and CD206+ M2 macrophages in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Immunofluorescence was used to test the infiltration of macrophages in minor salivary glands. This study observed a significant increase in pSS patients both in the numbers of M1 macrophages in peripheral blood and serum levels of M1-related pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-23 and TNF-α). Conversely, M2 macrophages were downregulated in the peripheral blood of pSS patients. Similarly, in the minor salivary glands of pSS patients, the expression of M1 macrophages was increased, and that of M2 macrophages was decreased. Furthermore, a significantly positive correlation was found between the proportions of M1 macrophages in PBMCs and serum levels of IgG and RF. This study reveals the presence of an significant imbalance in M1/M2 macrophages in pSS patients. The M1 polarization of macrophages may play an central role in the pathogenesis of pSS.
本研究旨在探讨巨噬细胞极化在原发性斯约格伦综合征(pSS)发病机制中的作用。研究人员采集了 30 名原发性斯尤金综合征(pSS)患者和 30 名健康对照者的外周静脉血样本。从其中的 10 名患者和 10 名非 SSS 对照组(其小唾液腺不符合 pSS 的分类标准)采集了小唾液腺样本。使用酶联免疫吸附试验检测血清中与 M1/M2 巨噬细胞相关的细胞因子(TNF-a、IL-6、IL-23、IL-4、IL-10 和 TGF-β)的浓度。流式细胞术用于检测外周血单核细胞(PBMCs)中 CD86+ M1 巨噬细胞和 CD206+ M2 巨噬细胞的数量。免疫荧光用于检测小唾液腺中巨噬细胞的浸润情况。这项研究观察到,pSS 患者外周血中的 M1 巨噬细胞数量和血清中与 M1 相关的促炎细胞因子(IL-6、IL-23 和 TNF-α)水平都明显增加。相反,在 pSS 患者的外周血中,M2 巨噬细胞的数量减少。同样,在 pSS 患者的小唾液腺中,M1 巨噬细胞的表达增加,而 M2 巨噬细胞的表达减少。此外,还发现 PBMC 中 M1 巨噬细胞的比例与血清中 IgG 和 RF 的水平呈明显的正相关。这项研究揭示了 pSS 患者体内 M1/M2 巨噬细胞的严重失衡。巨噬细胞的 M1 极化可能在 pSS 的发病机制中起着核心作用。

This study reveals the presence of an significant imbalance in M1/M2 macrophages in pSS patients. The M1 polarization of macrophages may play an central role in the pathogenesis of pSS.","PeriodicalId":8419,"journal":{"name":"Arthritis Research & Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140919572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to elucidate the transcriptomic signatures and dysregulated pathways in patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), with a particular focus on those persisting during disease remission. We conducted bulk RNA-sequencing of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a well-defined cohort comprising 26 remission patients meeting the Low Lupus Disease Activity State (LLDAS) criteria, 76 patients experiencing disease flares, and 15 healthy controls. To elucidate immune signature changes associated with varying disease states, we performed extensive analyses, including the identification of differentially expressed genes and pathways, as well as the construction of protein-protein interaction networks. Several transcriptomic features recovered during remission compared to the active disease state, including down-regulation of plasma and cell cycle signatures, as well as up-regulation of lymphocytes. However, specific innate immune response signatures, such as the interferon (IFN) signature, and gene modules involved in chromatin structure modification, persisted across different disease states. Drug repurposing analysis revealed certain drug classes that can target these persistent signatures, potentially preventing disease relapse. Our comprehensive transcriptomic study revealed gene expression signatures for SLE in both active and remission states. The discovery of gene expression modules persisting in the remission stage may shed light on the underlying mechanisms of vulnerability to relapse in these patients, providing valuable insights for their treatment.
本研究旨在阐明系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者的转录组特征和失调通路,尤其关注那些在疾病缓解期间持续存在的转录组特征和失调通路。我们对外周血单核细胞(PBMC)进行了大量 RNA 序列分析,这些细胞来自一个定义明确的群体,包括 26 名符合低狼疮疾病活动状态(LLDAS)标准的缓解期患者、76 名疾病复发期患者和 15 名健康对照组。为了阐明与不同疾病状态相关的免疫特征变化,我们进行了大量分析,包括识别差异表达基因和通路,以及构建蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用网络。与疾病活动状态相比,缓解期的几个转录组特征有所恢复,包括浆和细胞周期特征的下调以及淋巴细胞的上调。然而,特定的先天性免疫反应特征,如干扰素(IFN)特征和参与染色质结构修饰的基因模块,在不同的疾病状态下持续存在。药物再利用分析发现,某些药物类别可以针对这些持续存在的特征,从而有可能防止疾病复发。我们的全面转录组学研究揭示了系统性红斑狼疮在活动期和缓解期的基因表达特征。发现缓解期持续存在的基因表达模块可能会揭示这些患者易复发的潜在机制,为他们的治疗提供有价值的见解。
