ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To study the expression and diagnostic value of plasma miR-145 and miR-183 in children with lupus nephritis (LN).@*METHODS@#A total of 92 children with LN who were admitted from January 2016 to May 2019 were enrolled as the LN group, among whom 17 had type II LN, 15 had type III LN, 36 had type IV LN, 18 had type V LN, and 6 had type VI LN. Forty healthy children who underwent physical examination were enrolled as the healthy control group. According to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI), the 92 children with LN were further divided into a stable LN group with 34 children (SLEDAI score <10) and an active LN group with 58 children (SLEDAI score ≥10). RT-PCR was used to measure the expression of miR-145 and miR-183 in plasma. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of plasma miR-145, miR-183, and anti-dsDNA antibody in the diagnosis of LN. Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of the expression levels of miR-145 and miR-183 in plasma with laboratory markers.@*RESULTS@#The LN, active LN, and stable LN groups had significantly higher levels of anti-dsDNA antibody, C-reactive protein, serum creatinine (Scr), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) than the control group (P<0.05). The active LN group had significantly higher SLEDAI score, anti-dsDNA antibody, Scr, and BUN than the stable LN group (P<0.05). The LN, active LN, and stable LN groups had significantly lower levels of complement C3, complement C4, and serum albumin (Alb) than the control group (P<0.05). The active LN group had a significantly lower level of Alb than the stable LN group (P<0.05). The LN, active LN, and stable LN groups had significantly lower plasma levels of miR-145 and miR-183 than the control group (P<0.01). The active LN group had significantly lower plasma levels of miR-145 and miR-183 than the stable LN group (P<0.01). The children with difference types of LN had significantly lower plasma levels of miR-145 and miR-183 than the control group (P<0.01), and the type V-VI group and the type IV group had significantly lower plasma levels of miR-145 and miR-183 than the type II-III group (P<0.01). The ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off values of plasma miR-145, miR-183, and anti-dsDNA antibody were 1.05, 0.62, and 186.30 IU/mL respectively, in the diagnosis of LN, and the combination of these three indices had the largest area under the ROC curve of 0.896 (95%CI: 0.835-0.955), with a sensitivity of 90.5% and a specificity of 84.2%. In the children with LN, the plasma levels of miR-145 and miR-183 were negatively correlated with SLEDAI score, anti-dsDNA antibody, Scr, and BUN (P<0.05) and were positively correlated with complement C3, complement C4, and Alb (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#There are significant reductions in the expression levels of miR-145 and miR-183 in plasma in children with LN, which are correlated with the activity level and pathological typing of LN. Combined measurement of miR-145, miR-183, and anti-dsDNA antibody has a high value in the diagnosis of LN.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>This study was to investigate the cell morphology and cell immune phenotypic characteristics in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The flow cytometry with multiparametric direct immunofluorescence technique, and CD45/SSC and CD38(+)(+)/CD138(+) gating were used to measure cell markers CD138, CD38, CD56, CD117, CD3, CD13, CD33, CD19, CD7, CD20, CD22, CD34, CD28 in 47 MM patients. At the same time the morphology examination of bone marrow cells was performed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The suspicious myeloma cell ratio in MM patients was 9.42%-74.25% detected by flow cytometry, moreover, the myeloma cell ratio detected by morphology examination was 11.0%-80.6%, there was a good correlation between the two detection methods (r(2) = 0.54, P < 0.001). The ratio of antigen positive expression was as follows: 74.46% for CD138, 100% for CD38, 57.44% for CD56, 40.42% for CD117, 6.38% for CD13, 19.15% for CD33, 8.51% for CD20, 27.66% for CD28, 2.12% for CD22, 4.25% for CD34, 0% for CD3, 0% for CD19, 0% for CD7.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>CD45/SSC and CD38(+)/CD138(+) gating technique can accurately gate multiple myeloma cell sets which need analysis, the majority of myeloma cells expreses CD138, CD38, CD56 antigens. The immunophenotypic analysis combined with the cell morphology examination more contribute to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of multiple myeloma.</p>
