J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11072013. [PMID: 35407621 PMCID: PMC8999578 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11072013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
We assessed the effect of 24-month anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) treatment on the remodeling of the cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods: Quantitative evaluation of keratan sulfate (KS), hyaluronic acid (HA), hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein 1 (HAPLN1), as potential biomarkers of joint dysfunction, and the levels of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) 4 and 5, total oxidative status (TOS) and transforming growth factor (TGF-β1) was performed (using immunoenzymatic methods) in blood obtained from patients before and after 24 months of etanercept (ETA) treatment. Results: When compared to the controls, KS, HA and HAPLN1 levels were significantly higher in patients with an aggressive course of JIA qualified for ETA treatment. An anti-cytokine therapy leading to clinical improvement promotes the normalization only of the HA level. Proteolytic and pro-oxidative factors, present in high concentrations in patients before the treatment, correlated with HAPLN1, but not with KS and HA levels. In these patients, negative correlations were found between the levels of TGF-β1 and KS, HA and HAPLN1. Conclusion: The anti-TNF-α therapy used in patients with JIA has a beneficial effect on ECM cartilage metabolism, but it does not completely regenerate it. The changes in the plasma HA level during the anti-cytokine therapy suggest its potential diagnostic utility in monitoring of disease activity and may be used to assess the efficacy of ETA treatment.

Abstract
We aim to determine serum dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis with novel methods in early-stage osteoarthritis and late-stage osteoarthritis patients and investigated whether it was associated with the progression of osteoarthritis risk or not. One hundred eighteen patients were included in this prospective study. Osteoarthritis patients were divided into five stages, according to the Kellgren-Lawrence scale. Dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis was determined with a novel spectrophotometric method. Late-stage osteoarthritis patients had significantly lower levels of native and total thiol than the patients of early-stage osteoarthritis. Disulphide, index-1, index-2 levels, and WOMAC score of late-stage osteoarthritis patients were significantly higher than the ones belonging to patients of early-stage osteoarthritis. Decreased native thiol and total thiol levels and increased WOMAC score and disulphide levels were independently associated with increased risk of late-stage osteoarthritis. We suggest that both WOMAC score and dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis may be implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of osteoarthritis. We also recommend that dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis may have clinical utility as possible markers of differential diagnosis of early-stage and late-stage osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Objective: Thiol/disulfide (T/DS) homeostasis represents a promising new approach to evaluate oxidative stress. Therefore, we aimed to examine T/DS homeostasis in vitamin D (VitD)-deficient patients. Methods: We enrolled 154 patients with VitD deficiency and 154 healthy control subjects in the study. For both groups, native thiol, total thiol, and disulfide values were measured. Additionally, considering the obtained 25-hydroxycholecalciferol [25(OH)D] levels, the patient group was further divided into two subgroups (Group 1: <10 ng/mL, Group 2: 10-20 ng/mL), which were compared in more depth according to the specified parameters. Results: Values of native thiol, total thiol, and disulfide measured in the combination of Groups 1 and 2, comprising individuals with VitD deficiency, proved to be higher in comparison to the control group with statistical significance (p=0.007, p=0.028, and p<0.001, respectively). When subgroups were considered according to VitD classifications, native thiol and total thiol were again higher in Group 1 in comparison to the values obtained for control subjects (p=0.022; p<0.001). While the total thiol level of Group 2 was higher than that of controls (p<0.001), no difference with statistical significance was obtained in the comparison of disulfide levels among the indviduals of Group 1, Group 2, and the controls (p=0.081). Conclusion: In this study, among patients with VitD deficiency, we have confirmed that values of native thiol and total thiol were increased, while the T/DS balance was found to have shifted in favor of the thiol level.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common group of chronic connective tissue diseases in children that is accompanied by joint structure and function disorders. Inflammation underlying the pathogenic changes in JIA, caused by hypersecretion of proinflammatory cytokines, leads to the destruction of articular cartilage. The degradation which progresses with the duration of JIA is not compensated by the extent of repair processes. These disorders are attributed in particular to changes in homeostasis of extracellular matrix (ECM) components, including proteoglycans, that forms articular cartilage. Changes in metabolism of matrix components, associated with the disturbance of their degradation and biosynthesis processes, are the basis of the progressive wear of joint structures observed in the course of JIA. Clinical evaluation and radiographic imaging are current methods to identify the destruction. The aim of this paper is to review enzymatic and non-enzymatic factors involved in catabolism of matrix components and molecules stimulating their biosynthesis. Therefore, we discuss the changes in these factors in body fluids of children with JIA and their potential diagnostic use in the assessment of disease activity. Understanding the changes in ECM components in the course of the child-hood arthritis may provide the introduction of both new diagnostic tools and new therapeutic strategies in children with JIA.

Abstract
Dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis (TDH) is a new area has begun to attract more scrutiny. Dynamic TDH is reversal of thiol oxidation in proteins and represents the status of thiols (-SH) and disulfides (-S-S-). Organic compounds containing the sulfhydryl group is called thiol, composed of sulfur and hydrogen atoms. Disulfides are the most important class of dynamic, redox responsive covalent bonds build in between two thiol groups. For many years, thiol levels were analyzed by several methods. During last years, measurements of disulfide levels have been analyzed by a novel automated method, developed by Erel and Neselioglu. In this method, addition to thiol (termed as native thiol) levels, disulfide levels were also measured and sum of native thiol and disulfide levels were termed as total thiol. Therefore, TDH was begun to be understood in organism. In healthy humans, TDH is maintained within a certain range. Dysregulated dynamic TDH has been implicated several disorders with unknown etiology. A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that the thiol-disulfide homeostasis is involved in variety diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, nonsmall cell lung cancer, familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), inflammatory bowel diseases, occupational diseases, gestational diabetes mellitus and preeclampsia. These results may elucidate some pathogenic mechanism or may be a predictor indicating diagnostic clue, prognostic marker or therapeutic sign. In conclusion, protection of the thiol-disulfide homeostasis is of great importance for the human being. Evidence achieved so far has proposed that thiol-disulfide homeostasis is an important issue needs to elucidate wholly.

Abstract
Background/aim Sepsis is a condition caused by infection followed by unregulated inflammatory response which may lead to organ dysfunction. The aim of this study is to be the first in the literature and it has been designed to show the thiol/disulphide changes in patients with sepsis and septic shock and their correlation with acute phase reactants. Material and methods A total of 113 patients (septic shock 53 and sepsis 60) and 60 healthy control subjects have been enrolled in this study from the period February 2018 to 2019. The patients were divided in 2 groups: nonsurvivors (74) and survivors (39). The investigation includes measurements of native thiol, total thiol, dynamic disulphide bond, oxidized thiol ratio, reduced thiol ratio and thiol oxidation reduction ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin. Results The findings of this study suggest that changes in thiol levels play a role in the pathogenesis of patients with sepsis and septic shock. Conclusions Thiol/disulphide homeostasis is impaired in patients with sepsis and septic shock. Understanding the role of thiol/ disulphide homeostasis in sepsis and septic shock may provide different therapeutic intervention strategies for patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Thiol and disulphide levels are biomarkers that provide useful information about oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity, showing a different homoeostasis in inflammatory and proliferative diseases. We aimed to clarify the possible aetiology of this disease by using thiol and disulphide levels in patients with fibromyalgia, the basis of which has not yet been clearly elucidated. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 156 individuals: 86 patients with fibromyalgia and 70 age-matched controls were included in this prospective non-randomised case-control study. Demographic characteristics including smoking status, body mass index (BMI), the duration of complaints, and pain levels were carefully recorded. Dynamic thiol-disulphide homoeostasis in blood samples was determined by an automatic-spectrophotometric method. The Mann-Whitney U and Student's t-test were used to determine the differences between the groups. RESULTS Sex, BMI, and smoking status were similar between the groups (p = 0.62, p = 0.09, and p = 0.64, respectively). While native thiol levels were found to be high in patients with fibromyalgia (p = 0.018), disulphide levels and the rates of disulphide/native thiol and disulphide/total thiol were significantly low (p = 0.049, p = 0.007, and p = 0.007, respectively). Correlation analysis showed no significant relationship between thiol-disulphide levels and duration of complaints or pain level. CONCLUSIONS Thiol-disulphide balance in fibromyalgia was found to be similar to benign proliferative diseases, suggesting that the underlying mechanism is more likely to be of proliferative pattern rather than inflammatory. Additionally, fibromyalgia is not directly associated with increase in oxidative stress. The molecular mechanisms need to be elucidated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute, self-limited, systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. In the present study, we investigated whether there is a relationship between KD and dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis. METHODS This case-control study involved KD patients and healthy controls. Plasma total, native and disulphide thiol and the disulphide/native, disulphide/total and native thiol/total thiol ratios of all patients and the control group were analyzed simultaneously. RESULTS A total of 20 patients with KD (male/female, 12/8) and 25 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (male/female, 12/13) were evaluated. Native, total thiol and native thiol/total thiol ratio were significantly lower in KD patients than in the control group (P < 0.001). In contrast, disulphide thiol, disulphide/native thiol and disulphide/total thiol ratios were significantly higher in KD patients than control subjects (P < 0.001). In KD patients with coronary artery lesion (CAL), the native thiol and total thiol were significantly lower than in KD patients without CAL. In KD patients with CAL, the ratios of disulphide/total thiol and disulphide/native thiol were significantly higher than in those without CAL (P = 0.02 and P = 0.02, respectively), whereas the ratio of native/total thiol was significantly lower (P = 0.02). CONCLUSION The KD patients had lower plasma thiol (native and total) and higher disulphide thiol than controls, indicating that dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis might be an important indicator of inflammation in KD. Alteration and shifting of thiol/disulphide homeostasis to the oxidized side are correlated with the pathogenesis of KD and CAL.
