Evaluation of autoantibody profiles in a cohort of new-onset pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus patients using autoantigen microarray technology
Purpose Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by the production of autoantibodies directed against many highly-conserved nuclear antigens. 15% of SLE patients develop disease in childhood or adolescence, and pediatric (pSLE) patients often have more severe disease onset and organ system involvement. Antigen microarray technology allows the comprehensive analysis of autoantibodies ...
متن کاملPlasma levels of osteopontin identify patients at risk for organ damage in systemic lupus erythematosus
INTRODUCTION Osteopontin (OPN) has been implicated as a mediator of Th17 regulation via type I interferon (IFN) receptor signaling and in macrophage activity at sites of tissue repair. This study assessed whether increased circulating plasma OPN (cOPN) precedes development of organ damage in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE) and compared it to circulating plasma neutrophil gelatinas...
متن کاملSerum IL-18 as biomarker in predicting long-term renal outcome among pediatric-onset systemic lupus erythematosus patients
An urge of biomarker identification is needed to better monitor lupus nephritis (LN) disease activity, guide clinical treatment, and predict patient's long-term outcome. With the proinflammatory effect and its association with inflammasomes, the significance of interleukin-18 (IL-18) among pediatric-onset systemic lupus erythematous (pSLE) patient, especially, its importance in predicting long-...
متن کاملPlasma osteopontin as a marker for future organ damage in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus
Purpose Osteopontin (OPN) is a secreted phosphoprotein functioning in monocyte and T cell adhesion and migration. Expression of OPN in alternatively-activated macrophages has been implicated in post-inflammatory fibrosis of lung and kidney. In our previously conducted cross-sectional study of 72 pediatric SLE patients (pSLE; age of onset <18 years), increased circulating plasma OPN (cOPN) was o...
متن کاملInfluence of age at disease onset in the outcome of paediatric systemic lupus erythematosus.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of age at disease onset in the outcome of paediatric SLE (pSLE). METHODS Fifty-six patients with pSLE, divided into three groups (pre-pubertal, peripubertal and post-pubertal onset), were studied. The SDI (SLICC/ACR Damage Index for SLE), patients' characteristics, disease manifestations and treatments were compared using Fishe...
