Abstract

This study aims to determine B-cell activating factor (BAFF) serum levels in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Behçet's disease (BD) and correlate these levels with disease activity and severity. Patients and methods: Between December 2010 and December 2011, 63 Egyptian patients with collagen diseases [RA (n=21), SLE (n=21); BD (n=21)] were recruited from Cairo and Ain Shams University Hospitals, along with 21 apparently healthy individuals as controls. All participants underwent history taking, clinical examination, laboratory and radiological investigations, and disease activity score estimation. The serum BAFF level was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. Results: The BAFF serum levels were significantly elevated in patients with SLE and BD versus the healthy controls (p<0.011, p<0.023) and in SLE versus RA and BD (p<0.024, p<0.026). A significant positive correlation was found between the BAFF and C-reactive protein (CRP) (r=0.928, p<0.0001), the Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) (r=0.810, p<0.0001), and disease control (r=0.834, p<0.0001) in RA. Also, a significant positive correlation was found between BAFF and SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) score classification (r=0.894, p<0.0001) and SLEDAI score (r=0.748, p<0.0001) in SLE as well as between the BAFF and disease duration (r=0.578, p<0.006) in BD. Conclusion: The BAFF serum levels are increased in patients with SLE and BD versus the controls and in patients with SLE compared with those with RA and BD. They also have a positive correlation with disease severity in SLE and RA, which suggests that BAFF may play a role in the pathogenesis and activity of these diseases. These results may pose the possibility that a human monoclonal antibody drug which selectively inhibits BAFF biological activity may be useful in the treatment of active resistant cases

Özet

Bu çalışmada romatoid artrit (RA), sistemik lupus eritematozus (SLE) ve Behçet hastalığında (BH) B hücre aktive edici faktör (BAFF) serum düzeyleri ve bu düzeylerin hastalık aktivitesi ve şiddeti ile olan ilişkisi araştırıldı.Hastalar ve yöntemler: Aralık 2010 - Aralık 2011 tarihleri arasında, Kahire ve Ain Shaims Üniversite Hastanelerinden kolajen hastalığı olan 63 Mısırlı hasta [RA (n=21), SLE (n=21), BH (n=21)] ve beraberinde görünüşü sağlıklı olan 21 kişi kontrol grubu olarak çalışmaya dahil edildi. Katılımcıların tümünün öyküsü alındı, klinik muayenesi ve laboratuvar ve radyolojik incelemeleri yapıldı ve hastalık aktivite skoru hesaplandı. Serum BAFF düzeyi, enzim bağlı immünosorbent assay (ELISA) kiti ile ölçüldü.Bulgular: BAFF serum düzeyleri, sağlıklı kontrollere kıyasla SLE ve BH hastalarında (p<0.011, p<0.023) ve RA ve BH'ye kıyasla SLE hastalarında (p<0.024, p<0.026) anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksekti. Romatoid artritte BAFF ve C-reaktif protein (CRP) (r=0.928, p<0.0001), Hastalık Aktivite Skoru 28 (DAS28) (r=0.810, p<0.0001) ve hastalık kontrolü arasında (r=0.834, p<0.0001) anlamlı bir pozitif ilişki saptandı. Ayrıca SLE'de BAFF ve SLE Hastalık Aktivite İndeksi (SLEDAI) skor sınıflandırması (r=0.894, p<0.0001) ve SLEDAI skoru arasında (r=0.748, p<0.0001) ve BH'de BAFF ve hastalık süresi arasında da (r=0.578, p<0.006) anlamlı bir pozitif ilişki saptandı.Sonuç: Kontrol grubuna kıyasla, SLE ve BH hastalarında ve RA ve BH hastalarına kıyasla SLE hastalarında BAFF serum düzeyleri yüksektir. Ayrıca SLE ve RA'da, BAFF'nin bu hastalıkların patogenezi ve aktivitesinde rol oynayabileceğini gösterebilen, hastalık şiddeti açısından pozitif bir ilişki de mevcuttur. Bu bulgular, selektif olarak BAFF biyolojik aktivitesini inhibe eden insan monoklonal antikor ilacının, aktif dirençli olguların tedavisinde faydalı olabilme olasılığını akla getirmektedir
