چکیده

background: inappropriate activation or blockage of the inhibition of complement system could cause tissue damages in autoimmune diseases particularly rheumatoid arthritis (ra). defect in complement component regulation may cause damages to tissues, on the other hand, or the damaged tissue might affect the unnecessary activation of complement components.   objective: to investigate the expression of cd55 and cd 59 complement regulatory proteins in ra patients. subjects and methods: fifty proved rheumatoid arthritis patients participated in this study and their blood were collected for investigations. cd55 and cd59 molecules expression on the erythrocytes was assayed using primary monoclonal antibody and secondary fitc conjugated ab, then the prepared samples were run with a facscalibur flowcytometer (becton-dickinson) and the obtained data was analyzed using a cell quest software package. to evaluate the complement function, ch50 was performed using patient sera. all experiments were done with a matched healthy volunteer group.   results: the mean fluorescence intensity for cd55 was 27.6 ± 13.4 arbitrary unit for patients and 68.5 ± 10.5 for healthy group. cd59 mean fluorescence intensity was 314 ± 83 in patient group and 508 ± 56 in healthy volunteers. in addition, there was a significant difference between ch50 in patients (54.5 ± 15.5) and in healthy group (110 ± 20). a significant correlation between cd55 and cd59 expansion on the patient erythrocytes was found (p = 0.00, r = 0.576). no association was found between cd59, or cd55 with ch50 (p > 0.05).   conclusion: the expression of cd55 and cd59 is down-regulated on erythrocytes of patients with ra. change in expression of regulatory complement components in ra may be a useful key for the assessment of disease progression or in patients' follow-up.

Expression of CD55, CD59, CD46 and CD35 in Peripheral Blood Cells from Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Evidences point that complement activation plays a role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this context, expression of the CReg was investigated on white cells from peripheral blood of 30 RA patients and 30 healthy controls. Using flow cytometric analyses the relative fluorescence intensities (MFI) of Cregs were determined. CD59 MFI was significantly increased in RA cells comparing to controls, r...

Expression of complement regulatory proteins CD55, CD59, CD35, and CD46 in rheumatoid arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease associated with polyarticular inflammatory synovitis affecting mainly peripheral joints. It affects approximately 1% of the world population, being two to three times more prevalent in women. Rheumatoid arthritis has a complex and multifactorial pathogenesis. The synovium of the affected joints is infiltrated by T and B lymphocytes, macrophages...

Expression of CD55, CD59, and CD35 on red blood cells of β-thalassaemia patients

AIM OF THE STUDY β-thalassaemia (β-Thal) is considered a severe, progressive haemolytic anaemia, which needs regular blood transfusions for life expectancy. Complement-mediated erythrocyte destruction can cause both intravascular and extravascular haemolysis. Complement regulatory proteins protect cells from such effects of the complement system. We aimed to perform quantitative analysis of mem...
