ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the plasma vitamin D3 level and its association with B cell subsets of patients with primary Sj(o)gren's syndrome (pSS).The role of vitamin D3 levels in the pathogenesis of pSS was explored.Methods The expression of plasma vitamin D3 levels of 55 patients with pSS and 32 controls were analyzed by ELISA.Frequencies of peripheral blood CD19+CD27-na(i)ve B cells,CD19+CD27+ memory B cells and CD19+CD27high plasma cells were analyzed by flow cytometry in 34 pSS patients without therapy and 22 controls.The relationship between the vitamin D3 levels and B cell subsets,SSDAI,tear flow rate,saliva flow rate,rheumatoid factor,immunoglobulin was analyzed in pSS patients.Non-parametric test,t test,one-way ANOVA,x2test,Pearman's and Spearman's correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results ① There was significant difference in the levels of plasma 1,25 (OH)2D3 between the pSS patients group and normal control group,1,25 (OH)2D3 was significantly lower in pSS patients than that in the normal control group [24.17(22.20,28.41) pg/ml and 41.25(23.38,62.18) pg/ml,P<0.05],and that was also obviously lower in the active group [22.64(20.74,24.90) pg/ml] than that in the normal control group (P<0.05),and that was also obviously lower in the active disease group than that in the inactive disease group [25.39 (23.16,33.09) pg/ml,P<0.05],but there was no difference between the inactive group and the normal control group (P>0.05).② The percentage of peripheral blood of CD19+CD27high plasma cells and CD19+CD27+ memory B cells in CD19+ cells was reduced in patients in the pSS group compared with the control group [(0.89±0.30)% and (1.72±0.43)%,(24±8)% and (34±5)%; P<0.05],and that was also significantly lower in the active group [(1.03±0.59) % ; (26± 10)%] and inactive group [(1.00±0.16)%,(26± 3)%] than that in the normal controls (P<0.05).However,there was no difference between the active group and the inactive group (P>0.05),but the frequency of peripheral blood of CD19+ CD27-naive B cells in CD19+ B cells was increased in patients with pSS compared with normal control group [(75.4±7.5)% and (63.9±5.2)%,P<0.05],and that was also significantly higher in the active group [(73.4±9.7)%] and inactive group [(73.3±2.9)%] than that in the normal control (P<0.05),there was no difference between the active group and the inactive group.③ Significant negative correlation was observed between 1,25 (OH)2D3 and the percentage of peripheral blood CD19+CD27+ memory B cells in CD19+ cells as well as immunoglobulin G(r=-0.627,P=0.039; r=-0.657,P<0.01) level.Conclusions These results demonstrate that abnormality of vitamin D levels may play an important role in the pathogenesis of pSS.
