Urinary soluble CD163 is useful as "liquid biopsy" marker in lupus nephritis at both diagnosis and follow-up to predict impending flares. J Transl Autoimmun 2024; 9:100244. [PMID: 39021518 PMCID: PMC11253685 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtauto.2024.100244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Lupus nephritis (LN) diagnosis and follow-up requires noninvasive biomarkers. Therefore, the added value of coupling the urinary soluble (s)CD163/creatinuria ratio with serological markers was evaluated in a real-world clinical practice. To this end, a monocentric and retrospective study was conducted in 139 SLE patients with biopsy-proven nephritis having an active LN (LN-A, n = 63 with a positive SLEDAI-renal score) or inactive (n = 76), as well as 98 non-renal SLE patients. The urinary sCD163/creatinuria ratio outperformed serological markers for predicting LN-A (AUC>0.972; p < 10-4 with a 100 % specificity threshold fixed at 320 ng/mmol), and for monitoring renal activity allowing prediction of impending flares and remissions in follow-up (AUC = 0.789, p < 10-4). LN-A patients with an elevated spot proteinuria/creatinuria ratio (p = 8 × 10-6) and sCD163/creatinuria ratio (p = 10-3) were at risk for developing end-stage kidney disease but sCD163/creatinuria ratio cannot substitute kidney biopsy to discriminate LN-A from other glomerulonephritis. Among serological markers (n = 14), anti-dsDNA and anti-C1q antibodies (Abs) (AUC>0.750 versus non-LN patients, and AUC>0.640 versus LN-IR patients) best predicted LN-A, and higher levels were retrieved in class III/IV proliferative LN-A. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the urinary sCD163/creatinuria ratio remained the only statistically significant biomarker to predict LN-A (p < 0.001). In conclusion, and as compared to classical serological markers, the urinary sCD163/creatinuria ratio provides an additional parameter for monitoring LN patients.

Glucocorticoids selectively affect the memory T cell response to SARS-Cov2 spike in vaccinated and post-infected patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. J Transl Autoimmun 2023; 6:100200.

Abstract
Immune response to vaccines and pathogens remains unclear in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To investigate this, a single-center retrospective study was conducted with 47 SLE patients vaccinated against COVID-19, including 13 who subsequently developed an asymptomatic/mild disease. As compared to controls, post-vaccine response against Spike was reduced in SLE patients when considering both memory T-cells in a whole blood interferon gamma release assay (IGRA-S) and IgG anti-Spike antibody (Ab) responses. The SLE-associated defective IGRA-S response was associated with a serum albumin level below 40 g/L and with the use of glucocorticoids, while a defective IgG anti-Spike Ab response was associated with lower levels of anti-dsDNA and anti-SSA/Ro 52 kDa Abs. IGRA-S and IgG anti-Spike responses were independent from SLE activity and clinical phenotype, low complement, hypergammaglobulinemia, and lymphopenia. As compared to controls, SLE patients showed a rapid decay of anti-Spike T-cell memory and stable IgG anti-Spike Ab responses. In conclusion, both T cell and humoral anti-Spike responses were independently affected in our SLE patients cohort, which supports the exploration of both responses in the follow-up of SLE patients and especially in those receiving glucocorticoids.

Abstract
While autoimmunity is a branch of medicine linked to every single organ system via direct and indirect pathways, meeting in person to discuss autoimmunity during the 13th international congress on autoimmunity (AUTO13) with participants from all over the world had a very good reason. The mechanisms involved in autoimmune diseases are of extreme importance and in fact critical in understanding the course of diseases as well as selecting proper therapies. COVID-19 has served as a great example of how autoimmunity is deeply involved in the disease and directly correlated to severity, morbidity, and mortality. For instance, initially the term cytokine storm dominated, then COVID-19 was addressed as the new member of the hyperferritinemic syndrome, and also the use of immunosuppressants in patients with COVID-19 throughout the pandemic, all shed light on the fundamental role of autoimmunity. Unsurprisingly, SARS-CoV-2 was called the “autoimmune virus” during AUTO13. Subsequently, the correlation between autoimmunity and COVID-19 vaccines and post-COVID, all were discussed from different autoimmune aspects during the congress. In addition, updates on the mechanisms of diseases, autoantibodies, novel diagnostics and therapies in regard to autoimmune diseases such as antiphospholipid syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis and others, were discussed in dedicated sessions. Due to the magnificence of the topics discussed, we aimed to bring in our article hereby, the pearls of AUTO13 in terms of updates, new aspects of autoimmunity, and interesting findings. While more than 500 abstract were presented, concluding all the topics was not in reach, hence major findings were summarized.

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Rheumatology to Detect Cardiac Involvement Since Early and Pre-clinical Stages of the Autoimmune Diseases: A Narrative Review. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:870200. [PMID: 35911548 PMCID: PMC9326004 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.870200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Autoimmune diseases (ADs) encompass multisystem disorders, and cardiovascular involvement is a well-known feature of autoimmune and inflammatory rheumatic conditions. Unfortunately, subclinical and early cardiovascular involvement remains clinically silent and often undetected, despite its well-documented impact on patient management and prognostication with an even more significant effect on severe and future MACE events as the disease progresses. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), today, commands a unique position of supremacy versus its competition in cardiac assessment and is the gold standard for the non-invasive evaluation of cardiac function, structure, morphology, tissue characterization, and flow with the capability of evaluating biventricular function; myocardium for edema, ischemia, fibrosis, infarction; valves for thickening, large masses; pericardial inflammation, pericardial effusions, and tamponade; cardiac cavities for thrombosis; conduction related abnormalities and features of microvascular and large vessel involvement. As precise and early detection of cardiovascular involvement plays a critical role in improving the outcome of rheumatic and autoimmune conditions, our review aims to highlight the evolving role of CMR in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic sclerosis (SSc), limited sclerosis (LSc), adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD), polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) (formerly Churg-Strauss syndrome), and DRESS syndrome (DS). It draws attention to the need for concerted, systematic global interdisciplinary research to improve future outcomes in autoimmune-related rheumatic conditions with multiorgan, multisystem, and cardiovascular involvement.
