Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic Clinical Trial
Official title:
Association Between the Presence of Autoantibodies Targeting Ficolin-3 and Active Nephritis in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the
production of multiple autoantibodies. Antibodies against Ficolin-3 were previously
identified in the sera of some SLE patients, but their prevalence and significance have not
been yet investigated. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of
anti-ficolin-3 antibodies among SLE patients and to investigate their potential as
diagnostic and/or prognostic biomarkers in SLE.
In this retrospective study, clinical data were obtained from medical files and blood
samples were selected from preexisting biological collection. SLE patients (n=165) were
informed and did not objected, they were matched to healthy controls (n=48). Disease
activity was determined according to the SLEDAI score. Anti-ficolin-3, anti-dsDNA and
anti-C1q antibodies levels were measured in sera by ELISA. First, a highly significant
difference was found in the anti-ficolin-3 levels between SLE patients and healthy subjects.
Anti-ficolin-3 antibodies were detected as positive in 58 of 165 (35%) SLE patients. The
titer of anti-ficolin-3 antibodies was correlated with the SLEDAI score (p<0.0001). The
presence of anti-ficolin-3 antibodies was associated with anti-C1q and anti-dsDNA
antibodies. Regarding associations with clinical manifestations, only the presence of active
lupus nephritis was significantly associated with the presence of anti-ficolin-3 antibodies
(p=0.0001). This association with renal involvement was higher with anti-ficolin-3
antibodies than with other auto-antibodies. Interestingly, the combination of anti-ficolin-3
and anti-C1q antibodies demonstrated higher specificity than any other traditional
biomarker.
These results suggest that anti-ficolin-3 could be useful for the diagnosis of active
nephritis in SLE patients.
For this retrospective study, a brief summary should be enough. ;
