摘要:

目的 探讨血清干扰素调节因子1(IRF1)在类风湿关节炎(RA)中的临床意义。方法 纳入30例RA患者(RA组)和30例健康者(对照组)作为研究对象,采用酶联免疫吸附试验检测受试者血清IRF1、抗环瓜氨酸肽抗体(抗CCP抗体)水平,收集RA患者的临床资料及实验室指标,如健康评估问卷(HAQ)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、28个关节疾病活动指数(DAS28-ESR)评分等。RA患者以单药甲氨蝶呤起始治疗(10~20 mg/周)1~3个月,分别于第4和12周经DAS28-ESR评估疗效,必要时调整治疗方案;期间可短期联用小剂量激素或非甾体抗炎药以快速缓解症状。比较RA组和对照组以及RA组治疗前后的血清IRF1和抗CCP抗体水平;分析IRF1与RA患者临床和实验室指标之间的相关性;受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线评估IRF1对RA的诊断价值。结果 与对照组相比,RA组血清IRF1、抗CCP抗体水平均升高。RA组血清IRF1浓度与抗CCP抗体、红细胞沉降率、C反应蛋白、DAS28-ESR评分、关节压痛计数、关节肿胀计数、疼痛视觉模拟评分、HAQ、IL-6、类风湿因子无相关性(P>0.05)。接受MTX治疗4周后RA患者血清IRF1水平较治疗前差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);至第12周血清IRF1水平较治疗前和治疗后4周均降低(P<0.05)。血清IRF1与抗CCP抗体联合诊断RA的曲线下面积为0.968(95%CI:0.924~1.000),优于二者单独诊断(AUC分别为0.831、0.852)。结论 RA患者血清IRF1水平增高,对RA有一定的诊断价值,且与血清抗CCP抗体联合诊断效能更高。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methods Thirty patients with RA and 30 healthy individuals (control group) were included in this study. The serum levels of IRF1 and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibody were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Assessment questionnaire (HAQ), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and disease activity score (DAS) 28-ESR were collected from the RA patients. Patients with RA received initial methotrexate (MTX) monotherapy (10-20 mg weekly) for 1-3 months. Disease activity was assessed using the DAS28-ESR at weeks 4 and 12, and the treatment regimen was adjusted if necessary. Short-term, low-dose corticosteroids or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs could be used concomitantly for rapid symptom relief. The serum levels of IRF1 and anti-CCP antibody were compared before and after treatment between the RA group and the control group. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between IRF1 and clinical and laboratory indicators of RA patients. The diagnostic value of IRF1 for RA was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results Serum IRF1 and anti-CCP antibody levels were significantly higher in the RA group compared with those of the control group. No significant correlation was found between serum IRF1 concentration and anti-CCP antibodies, ESR, CRP, DAS28-ESR, TJC, SJC, VAS, HAQ, IL-6 and RF (P>0.05). After receiving methotrexate treatment for 4 weeks, the serum IRF1 level of RA patients showed no significant change compared to baseline (P>0.05). By the 12th week, the serum IRF1 level decreased significantly compared with that of treatment for 4 week and pre-treatment (P<0.05). The area under ROC curve (AUC) of IRF1 and anti-CCP antibody combined for RA diagnosis was 0.968 (95%CI:0.924-1.000), which was better than the single diagnosis of IRF1 or anti-CCP antibody (AUC was 0.831 and 0.852, respectively). Conclusion Serum IRF1 level is increased in RA patients. IRF1 has a certain diagnostic value in RA, and the combined diagnostic efficiency with anti-CCP antibody is higher.
