RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the serum levels of integrin-associated proteins (CD47) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to explore its association with disease activity and bone destruction in RA.Methods:Serum and clinical data were collected from 65 RA patients and 25 healthy subjects. RA patients were grouped into low, moderate, and high bone erosion groups according to 7-joint ultrasonography score (US7). The levels of serum CD47, thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay (ELISA) in patients with RA and healthy subjects. The statistical analysis was carried out with independent t-test, analysis of variance, nonparametric rank sum test, pearson or Spearman correlation and logistic regression. Results:① The Serum levels of CD47, TSP-1, and RANKL were higher in the RA group than in the healthy controls ( P<0.01). ② In RA patients, serum CD47 level was positively correlated with disease course ( r=0.301, P<0.05), C-reactionprotein (CRP)( r=0.316, P<0.05), number of tender joints (TJC) ( r=0.254, P<0.05), number of swollen joints (SJC) ( r=0.316, P<0.05), disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28) ( r=0.255, P<0.05), RANKL ( r=0.252, P<0.05) and TSP-1 ( r=0.260, P<0.05). Serum TSP-1 level was positively correlated with CRP ( r=0.299, P<0.05), TJC ( r=0.335, P<0.01), DAS28 ( r=0.315, P<0.05), RANKL ( r=0.305, P<0.05). ③ The disease course [ OR(95% CI)=1.048(1.033, 1.017)] and TSP-1 [ OR(95% CI)=1.013(1.000, 1.026)] were independently relevant factors affecting bone destruction. Conclusion:CD47 levels is significantly higher in RA patients than in healthy controls, and is associated with disease activity and bone destruction. CD47 may be involved in the bone destruction process of RA by acting on TSP-1.

Objective:To Studythe extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (CD147) changes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to study thecorrelation of CD147 level and athero-sclerosis in SLE.Methods:Eighty patients with SLE in total were divided into intimal thickening group, (24 cases, group A) and normal intimal group (56 cases, group B) according to carotid intimamedia thickness (IMT) checked by carotid ultrasonography. In addition, their age, bodymass index, blood pressure, seral total cholesterol (TC), high density liptein cholestero (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholestero (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), urinary protein quantitative test(24 h), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), anticardiolipin antibody, serum creatinine level, course of the disease, and treatment regimens were collected. Thirty-five healthy people were set as the control group (group C). The levels of serum CD147 were measured by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) in 3 groups. The correlation between the serum CD147 level of SLE patients and atherosclerosis was analyzed. The statistical analysis was carried out with independent t-test, chi-square test, analysis of variance, Spearman correlation and Logistic regression. Results:① Levels of serum CD147 in group A [ (238±30) pg/ml] were significantly higher than those in group B [(198±30) pg/ml] and group C [(150±26) pg/ml, F=67.908, P<0.01]. ② Body mass index, hypertensive ratio,total blood cholesterol,urine protein quantitative test (24 h), systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI), serum CD147 index in group A were significantly higher than those in group B ( P<0.05). ③ In Logistic regression analysis, serum CD147 [ OR (95% CI)=1.039(1.014, 1.065), P<0.05], urine protein quantitative (24 h) [ OR (95% CI)=2.598(1.033, 6.534), P<0.05] were independently relevant factors affecting carotid artery IMT. Conclusion:Serum CD147 is an independent risk factor for carotid intimamedia thickness in SLE patients.
