Abstract
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) shares several clinical and immunological features with Kawasaki Disease (KD) and pediatric hyperinflammation, but the immuno-phenotypic overlap among these clinical mimics is still incompletely understood. Here we analyzed serum samples from treatment-naïve patients with MIS-C (n = 31) and KD (n = 11), pediatric hyperinflammation (n = 13) and healthy controls (HC, n = 10) by proximity extension assay (PEA) to profile 184 blood biomarkers. Collectively, immunophenotypic overlap between MIS-C and hyperinflammation exceeds overlap with KD. Overexpression of IL-17A in MIS-C and KD could best separate these conditions from hyperinflammatory conditions, while those were hallmarked by overabundance of adenosin deaminase and IL-18. Depletion in serum TNF-related subfamily member 9 (TNFRSF9) and apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) linked with cardiovascular manifestations and myocarditis in MIS-C. Altogether, our analysis highlights important differences in molecular marker signatures also across different MIS-C and KD cohorts and suggests several previously unidentified molecular associations in context of cardiovascular inflammation.

Abstract
Aims The Ca+/NFAT (Nuclear factor of activated T cells) signaling pathway activation is implicated in the pathogenesis of Kawasaki disease (KD); however, we lack detailed information regarding the regulatory network involved in the human coronary endothelial cell dysfunction and cardiovascular lesion development. Herein, we aimed to use mouse and endothelial cell models of KD vasculitis in vivo and in vitro to characterize the regulatory network of NFAT pathway in KD. Methods and Results Among the NFAT gene family, NFAT2 showed the strongest transcriptional activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with KD. Then, NFAT2 overexpression and knockdown experiments in Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) indicated that NFAT2 overexpression disrupted endothelial cell homeostasis by regulation of adherens junctions, whereas its knockdown protected HCAECs from such dysfunction. Combined analysis using RNA-sequencing and transcription factor (TF) binding site analysis in the NFAT2 promoter region predicted regulation by Forkhead box O4 (FOXO4). Western blotting, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and luciferase assays validated that FOXO4 binds to the promoter and transcriptionally represses NFAT2. Moreover, Foxo4 knockout increased the extent of inflamed vascular tissues in a mouse model of KD vasculitis. Functional experiments showed that inhibition NFAT2 relieved Foxo4 knockout exaggerated vasculitis in vivo. Conclusions Our findings revealed the FOXO4/NFAT2 axis as a vital pathway in the progression of KD that is associated with endothelial cell homeostasis and cardiovascular inflammation development.

Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio as a Biomarker for Predicting the Coronary Artery Abnormality in Kawasaki Disease: A Meta-Analysis. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:6421543. [PMID: 36267460 PMCID: PMC9578863 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6421543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the relationship between the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and coronary artery abnormalities (CAA) in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD), according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statements. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, TRIP, Google Scholar, and ProQuest up to the 8th of August 2022. This was done to retrieve eligible studies. No date or language limitations were considered in this study. Methodology quality assessment was conducted according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). Standard mean difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to depict the pooled continuous variables. Finally, 17 articles with 6334 KD patients, of whom 1328 developed CAA, were enrolled in this meta-analysis. NLR level was significantly higher in KD patients with CAA compared to those without CAA (SMD =0.81; 95% CI =0.05-1.57, P = 0.03). In addition, NLR level was significantly higher in patients with coronary artery aneurysms than those without coronary artery aneurysms (SMD =2.29; 95% CI =0.18-4.41, P = 0.03). However, no significant association between NLR and coronary artery dilation was observed in this meta-analysis (SMD =0.56; 95% CI = -0.86-1.99). There was no publication bias for the pooled SMD of NLR for coronary artery abnormality in KD (Egger's test P = 0.82; Begg's test P = 0.32). The NLR may be useful in monitoring CAA development in these patients and may further imply a mechanistic role in potential inflammation that mediates this process.

[PMID: 32418074 DOI: 10.1007/s12519-020-00360-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2019] [Accepted: 03/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a rare, life-threatening complication of Kawasaki disease (KD). Early recognition and treatment of MAS are very important, but sometimes it is difficult to distinguish MAS from a severe form of KD. DATA SOURCES A PubMed search was performed in Clinical Queries using the key terms "macrophage activation syndrome or secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)" and "Kawasaki disease". RESULTS KD patients with MAS show high intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance and coronary complications. Mortality is also as high as MAS in other diseases. Persistent fever greater than 10 days is highly associated with development of MAS in KD. Splenomegaly is observed in more than two-thirds of KD patients with MAS. Thrombocytopenia is often the earliest laboratory finding of MAS. Hyperferritinemia is highly specific and sensitive for detecting MAS in KD; so, ferritin levels should be checked if there are unexplained clinical exacerbations in KD patients. Given the under-recognition of MAS in KD, it is prudent to consider resistant KD as occult/subclinical MAS. Many KD patients with MAS have good outcomes on immune modulators. However, if KD patients fulfill the HLH-2004 diagnostic criteria, they may undergo longer and more intensive treatment than needed. CONCLUSIONS The possible existence of MAS should be taken into account when a KD patient shows persistent fever, splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, hyperferritinemia, or IVIG resistance. The under-diagnosis of MAS in patients with KD is an important issue to be addressed. Therapeutically, however, there is a possibility of over-treatment of MAS in patients with KD.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) usually affects the children younger than 5 years of age and subsequently causes coronary artery lesions (CALs) without timely identification and treatment. Developing a robust and fast prediction method may facilitate the timely diagnosis of KD, significantly reducing the risk of CALs in KD patients. The levels of inflammatory serum proteins dramatically vary during the onsets of many immune diseases, including in KD. However, our understanding of their pathogenic roles in KD is behind satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate candidate diagnostic serum proteins and the potential mechanism in KD using iTRAQ gel-free proteomics. We enrolled subjects and conducted iTRAQ gel-free proteomics to globally screen serum proteins followed by specific validation with ELISA. Further in vitro leukocyte trans-endothelial model was also applied to investigate the pathogenesis roles of inflammatory serum proteins. We identified six KD protein biomarkers, including Protein S100-A8 (S100A8), Protein S100-A9 (S100A9), Protein S100-A12 (S100A12), Peroxiredoxin-2 (PRDX2), Neutrophil defensin 1 (DEFA1) and Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1 (ORM1). They enabled us to develop a high-performance KD prediction model with an auROC value of 0.94, facilitating the timely identification of KD. Further assays concluded that recombinant S100A12 protein treatment activated neutrophil surface adhesion molecules responsible for adhesion to endothelial cells. Therefore, S100A12 promoted both freshly clinically isolated neutrophils and neutrophil-like cells to infiltrate through the endothelial layer in vitro. Finally, the antibody against S100A12 may attenuate the infiltration promoted by S100A12. Our result demonstrated that evaluating S100A8, S100A9, S100A12, PRDX2, DEFA1 and ORM1 levels may be a good diagnostic tool of KD. Further in vitro study implied that S100A12 could be a potential therapeutic target for KD.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
To compare the cytokines involved in the development of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in different background rheumatic diseases and to identify serum biomarkers for MAS diagnosis.
Methods
Serum neopterin, IL-6, IL-18 and soluble TNF receptor (sTNFR) type I (sTNFR-I) and type II (sTNFR-II) levels were determined using ELISA in 12 patients with SLE, including five with MAS; 12 patients with JDM, including four with MAS; 75 patients with Kawasaki disease (KD), including six with MAS; and 179 patients with systemic JIA (s-JIA), including 43 with MAS. These results were compared with the clinical features of MAS.
Results
Serum neopterin, IL-18 and sTNFR-II levels were significantly higher during the MAS phase than during the active phase in patients with all diseases. Furthermore, serum sTNFR-I levels were significantly higher during the MAS phase than during the active phase in patients with SLE, KD and s-JIA. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that serum sTNFR-I levels for SLE, serum IL-18 levels for JDM, and serum sTNFR-II levels for KD and s-JIA had the highest areas under the ROC curve. Serum levels of these cytokines were significantly and positively correlated with serum ferritin levels.
Conclusions
Overproduction of IFN-γ, IL-18 and TNF-α might be closely related to the development of MAS. Serum levels of sTNFR-I for SLE, IL-18 for JDM, and sTNFR-II for KD and s-JIA might be useful diagnostic markers for the transition from active phase to MAS.

Abstract
The present study aimed to assess the kinetics of cytokine release and compare the accuracy of serum biomarkers for the diagnosis of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) associated with Kawasaki disease (KD). Serum neopterin, interleukin (IL)-18, IL-6 and soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor type I (sTNFR-I) and sTNFR-II levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 78 patients with KD, including five with MAS. Results were compared to the clinical features of MAS. Serum neopterin, IL-18, sTNFR-II levels and sTNFR-II/I ratio were significantly elevated in KD patients with MAS compared to those in the acute phase. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed areas under the curve and cutoff values of neopterin, IL-18, sTNFR-II levels and sTNFR-II/I ratio were 0.9750/30.0 nmol/L, 0.9813/1165 ng/mL, 0.9969/16,600 pg/mL and 0.9875/4.475, respectively. Serum sTNFR-II levels correlated positively with disease activity. These findings indicate that overproduction of interferon (IFN)-γ and TNF-α reflected by increased serum levels of neopterin and sTNFR-II are closely associated with the pathogenesis of MAS associated with KD. Serum sTNFR-II levels might be a useful marker to diagnose the transition to MAS.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) signals through two distinct cell surface receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2 in mammals. In the present study, grass carp Tnfr2 (gcTnfr2) was isolated and characterized. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis suggested that gcTnfr2 was a homolog of goldfish and zebrafish Tnfr2. Tissue distribution assay showed gctnfr2 transcripts were expressed in all examined tissues similar to gctnfr1. To functionally characterize the newly cloned molecule, gcTnfr2 was overexpressed in COS7 cell lines and it showed the ability to mediate the recombinant grass carp Tnf (rgcTnf)-α-triggered NF-κΒ activity and gcil1b promoter activity, clarifying its role in mediating Tnf-α signaling. The recombinant soluble form of gcTnfr2 (rgcsTnfr2) was prepared and it was able to interact with rgcTnf-α with higher affinity than that of rgcsTnfr1. Moreover, grass carp soluble Tnfr2 (gcsTnfr2) were detected in the culture medium of grass carp head kidney leukocytes (HKLs) and heat-inactivated A. hydrophila challenge significantly induced its production, indicating involvement of gcsTnfr2 in inflammation response. In agreement with this notion, rgcsTnfr2 effectively antagonized the effect of rgcTnf-α on il1b mRNA expression in HKLs, suggesting anti-Tnf-α property of gcsTnfr2. To strengthen the anti-inflammatory role of soluble Tnfr2, bacteria were injected intraperitoneally in grass carp followed by rgcsTnfr2. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of head kidney, spleen and intestine showed that rgcsTnfr2 could significantly improve infection-induced histopathological changes. These results functionally identified gcTnfr2 and its soluble form, particularly highlighting the role of gcsTnfr2 against Tnf-α-triggered inflammatory signaling. In this line, rgcsTnfr2 displayed anti-inflammatory potentiality during infection, thereby providing a powerful mediator of inflammation control in fish.
