Popis: BackgroundThe role of soluble ST2, the IL-33 receptor, in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is discussed in the literature.Objectivesto assess the levels of soluble ST2 marker initially (against the background of ineffective basic anti-inflammatory therapy (DMARD) and after 12 months of combination therapy (DMARD + biological therapy).MethodsThe study included 47pts (39 women /8 men) with RA, 51 [39,0; 63,0] years old. Pts were seropositive for IgM RF (79%) and anti-CCP (62%), with highly active RA (DAS28 5,7 [5,2; 6,4]; SDAI 35,0 [29,1; 43,6], CDAI 34,0 [25,0; 43,0]) scores, and median disease duration of 4.0 [3,0;14.0] years. All patients with RA had a history of insufficient effect or intolerance to two or more basic anti-inflammatory drugs (DMARDs). At the time of inclusion in the study, patients received DMARDs: 44% of patients received methotrexate (median dose - 15 (15; 20) mg /week), 35% - leflunomide (20 mg / day), 9.3 % - sulfasalazine (2000 mg / day), 7% - hydroxychloroquine (200 mg / day), 67.4% - glucocorticoids (5 (4; 8) mg / day). Patients did not receive biological therapy at the time of inclusion in the study. Due to lack of efficacy or intolerance, patients with RA (n=21) were prescribed biological therapy: 52.4% - anti-B-cell therapy, 38% - TNF-alpha inhibitors, 9.6% - IL-6 inhibitors. The control group consisted of 20 age-matched donors without rheumatic diseases. The concentration of soluble ST-2 was determined by enzyme immunoassay (Cristal Diagnostics, San Diego). The upper limit of normal when testing 20 sera from healthy donors was 17,65 ng/ml, corresponding to the 95th percentile.ResultsThe serum level of soluble ST2 in patients with late RA (n=47) was higher than in the control group (n=20) (14.2 [11.5;20.1] ng/ml versus 10.65 [9.3; 13.1 ng/ml) (pTable 1.Patients with RA (n=21) with insufficient effect of basic anti-inflammatory therapyPatients with RA (n=21) after 12 months of receiving combination therapyΔ,%рBMI, kg/m224,16 (21,23; 26)25,15 (23,43;26,7)+4,10,8DAS285,6 (5,3; 6,7)3,97(3,36;4,63)*-30,40,0001SDAI38,17 (29,5; 45,8)17,2(9,57;25,6)*-54,80,0001CDAI35,0 (26,0; 43,5)17,0(9,0;23,5)*-51,40,0001СRP,mg/l20,6 (11,7;34,1)3,15(1,2;7,2)*-84,70,003ESR,mm/h27,0 (16,0;45,0)16,0 (10,0;23,5)*-40,70,003IgM RF, МЕ/ml84,4 (20,8;163,0)32,2(10,6;107)*-61,80,01ST-2, ng/ml13,8 (11,5;18,4)12,5(9,6;13,8)*-9,40,008* -p ConclusionIn patients with high RA activity and the ineffectiveness of basic anti-inflammatory therapy, the level of soluble ST2 in serum was increased compared to the control group. After 12 months of effective anti-rheumatic therapy, the level of this marker decreased. The association of this marker with the clinical and laboratory activity of RA suggests its role in the development of rheumatoid inflammation.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared
