白细胞介素-33的测定及其与早期类风湿关节炎相关性的研究

目的 通过检测早期类风湿关节炎(RA)患者血清中的白细胞介素(IL)-33水平,分析其与早期RA之间的相关性.方法 收集病程<1年的早期RA患者100例,骨关节炎(OA)患者40例以及健康对照者70名.采用双抗体夹心酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)测定血清中的IL-33水平,并分析血清IL-33水平与RA各临床和实验室指标的相关性.计量资料的比较采用Kruskal-Wallis检验和(或)Mann-Whitney U检验,计数资料比较采用X2检验,相关性分析采用Spearman相关分析.结果 RA患者血清IL-33水平为(282±871)pg/ml,显著高于健康对照组(7±38)pg/ml,P(0.01)和OA患者(8±35)pg/ml,P<0.01].血清IL-33水平与类风湿因子(RF)、隐性类风湿因子IgG(HRF-IgG)、抗环瓜氨酸肽(CCP)抗体、抗突变型瓜氨酸化波形蛋白(MCV)抗体呈正相关(r分别为:0.312,0.277,0.213,0.302,P<0.01或P<0.05). IL-33阳性组患者的RF阳性率、HRF-IgG阳性率、抗CCP抗体阳性率、抗MCV抗体阳性率(86%、31%、86%、94%)较IL-33阴性组患者(54%、11%、42%、72%)显著升高(P均<0.05). 结论 IL-33在RA患者血清中显著升高,并与多种自身抗体(包括RF、抗CCP抗体、抗MCV抗体和HRF-IgG)显著相关,可能是RA预后不良的因素之一.

The detection of interleukin-33 and the correlated research of interleukin-33 and early rheumatoid arthritis

Objective To analyze the correlation between serum interleukin (IL)-33 and early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by testing the serum IL-33 of patients with RA.Methods One hundred patients with early RA whose disease duration was less than 1 year were selected,40 patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and 70 healthy controis were selected.The serum IL-33 levels of the three groups were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The correlation between serum IL-33 levels and clinical features of patients with RA were analyzed.Kruskal-Wallis test,Mann-Whitney U test,X2 test and Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results The level of serum IL-33 in RA patients (282±871)pg/ml ] was significantlv higher than that of the healthy controls (7±38) pg/ml,P
