Abstract Background A correlation was detected between the chemokine CXC ligand 13 (CXCL13) and lupus nephritis, but there is no data recorded in the literature about a relationship with other disease manifestations in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Therefore, we sought to investigate the relationship between CXCL13 and overall disease activity and other disease manifestations in SLE. Patients and Methods Fifty-seven SLE patients (51 female, 6 male) aged 18–60 years, fulfilling≥4 SLICC classification criteria for the classification of SLE, were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. Disease activity was scored using the SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) scoring system. The serological workup included routine lab investigations (full blood count, liver and kidney function tests, and urinalysis) as well as ESR, CRP, anti-ds DNA, C3, C4, 24-h urine protein, and creatinine clearance. Plasma CXCL13 levels were detected by ELISA. Results CXCL13 levels were elevated in active SLE patients. A significant positive correlation was found between the total score of SLEDAI and CXCL13 levels (r=0.547, p-value <0.0001). A statistically significant difference was found regarding the mean CXCL13 levels between the patient groups (classified according to SLEDAI score) (inactive <3, mild/moderate ≥3–12, severe ˃12) (p-value<0.001). The anti-ds DNA antibody titre showed a significant positive correlation with CXCL13 levels (r=0.335, p-value<0.05). The complement levels (C3, C4) showed a significant negative correlation with CXCL13 levels (p-value<0.001). Also there was a significant positive correlation between 24-h urine protein and urinary casts and CXCL13 levels (p-value<0.05). Conclusion Our study revealed elevated levels of serum CXCL13 in active SLE patients. We demonstrated a highly significant positive correlation between serum CXCL13 levels in active SLE patients and SLE disease activity, which supports the role of CXCL13 in the pathogenesis of SLE disease and its activity. Among the variants used in calculating the SLEDAI score, we detected significant relations between level of serum CXCL13 and each of total and extra-renal SLEDAI score.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystemic autoimmune disorder. The aim of this study was to characterise the SLE patients living in Malta in order to estimate the prevalence and incidence of SLE and characterise the clinical presentation as well as identify any unmet needs. 107 SLE patients who fulfilled SLICC classification criteria were identified. These were invited to participate in the study by means of an interview, blood and urine tests, and filling of the following questionnaires: Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), visual analogue scale (VAS) for fatigue, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), VAS for pain, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (mHAQ). The estimated prevalence of SLE in Malta is 29.3 patients per 100,000 and the estimated incidence is 1.48 per 100,000 per year. 93.5% of SLE patients were female, and the mean age at diagnosis was 33.1 years. 60.8% were overweight or obese and body mass index (BMI) had a significant positive correlation with daily dose of prednisolone (R=0.177, p=0.046). 20.7% and 3.3% had a moderate and high disease activity, respectively, as measured by SLEDAI-2K. Disease activity had a significant positive correlation with functional disability measured by mHAQ (R=0.417, p<0.001). 56.5% had an abnormal level of fatigue (FSS >3.7) and 57.6% had a high level of anxiety (HADS ≥8). This study has identified a number of unmet needs of SLE patients, including obesity, uncontrolled disease activity, fatigue, and anxiety.

Background: Early diagnosis and effective treatment in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has very crucial role. Anti dsDNA is very important diagnostic tool and activity marker in SLE. This study aimed to determine the association of anti dsDNA antibodies titer with non-renal manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI). Patients and methods: It was a cross-sectional study and was carried out at Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Tertiary Care Hospital, Lahore from Feb 2021 to May 2021. The study involved 69 male and female patients satisfying the systemic lupus international collaborating clinics (SLICC) classification criteria. Questions regarding different symptoms were asked and disease activity parameters were noted excluding renal parameters. Anti-dsDNA titers were measured from standard laboratory using immunofluorescence technique and were correlated with SLEDAI score. A written informed consent was obtained from every patient. Results: The mean age of the patients was 30.7±10.2 years while the mean duration of disease 1.94±2.65 years. We observed a female predominance among these patients with male to female ratio of 1:7.6. There were fifty-four (78.3%) patients with active disease. The mean anti-dsDNA levels were significantly higher in patients with active disease (315.73±481.68 vs. 78.46±113.64 IU/mL; p-value=0.003). There was a significantly strong positive correlation between anti-dsDNA levels and SLEDAI score (r=0.358; p-value=0.006). When compared, significant difference was observed in mean anti-dsDNA titers in patients with chronic cutaneous manifestations (p-value=0.040), lymphopenia (p-value= 0.012), pleurisy/pericarditis (p-value= 0.024) and leukopenia <3000/mm3 (p-value= 0.001). Conclusion: Anti-dsDNA antibodies titers are remarkably increased in patients with non-renal manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus particularly with chronic cutaneous manifestations and leukopenia and positively correlate with disease activity status and SLEDAI score.

Background Cathelicidin (LL-37), an endogenous antimicrobial peptide, has recently been involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. To assess whether LL-37 reflects disease activity, we measured serum levels of it in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with active and inactive disease compared to healthy controls. LL-37 was also compared between new and old cases. Moreover, the correlation of LL-37 and pro-oxidant, antioxidant balance (PAB) was measured. Methods The study population consisted of 50 SLE patients and 28 healthy controls. Of those, 39 patients had active and 11 patients had inactive disease. Serum levels of LL-37 were measured by ELISA and PAB values by a special method. Results There was no difference in levels of LL-37 between patients and healthy controls (50.9 ± 20.8 vs. 67.7 ± 43.3 ng/ml, P = 0.31). LL-37 did not correlate with SLEDAI and its items in total patients. LL-37 had a positive correlation with SLEDAI in active patients ( P = 0.01, r = 0.4). In active patients (78% of patients), multivariate regression analysis showed significant negative correlation between LL-37 and C3 ( P = 0.01, standardized beta –0.50). No difference was found in levels of PAB between patients and controls (90.4 ± 34.1 vs. 86.9 ± 25.6 HK, P = 0.4).There was no difference in the levels of PAB between patients with active and inactive disease (93.2 ± 34.1 vs. 80.2 ± 33.7 HK, P = 0.27). No correlation was found between levels of PAB and SLEDAI items and total score. However, a positive correlation between the levels of LL-37 and PAB in SLE patients was found ( r = 0.3, P < 0.01). Conclusion Based on this study, serum LL-37 and PAB did not increase in lupus compared with healthy individuals. LL-37 serum values rose in parallel with SLEDAI in active disease. Positive correlation between serum PAB and LL-37 could be a great achievement of this study that may suggest the role of antioxidants in controlling NETosis.

Objective This study aimed to systemically review the evidence regarding the relationship between circulating blood osteopontin (OPN) level and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), correlation between serum OPN levels and SLE activity, and association between OPN polymorphisms and SLE susceptibility. Methods We conducted a meta-analysis on the serum/plasma OPN levels in SLE patients and healthy controls, correlation coefficients between the circulating OPN level and SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) in SLE patients, and the association between OPN polymorphisms and SLE risk. Results Nine studies with 1938 SLE patients and 3037 controls were included. Meta-analysis revealed that, compared with the control group, the OPN level was significantly higher in the SLE group (SMD = 0.965, 95% CI = 0.337–1.393, p = 0.001) and in the SLE group with renal disease (SMD = 2.219, 95% CI = 0.681–3.757, p = 0.005). Meta-analysis of correlation coefficients showed a trend of positive correlation between the circulating OPN level and SLEDAI (correlation coefficient = 0.590, 95% CI = −0.025 to 0.881, p = 0.059). While no association was found between SLE and the OPN 707 T/C and 1083 G/A polymorphisms, a significant association was identified between the OPN 1239 C allele and SLE (OR = 1.192, 95% CI = 1.008–1.410, p = 0.040), and between the OPN 9250 C allele and SLE in Asians (OR = 2.070, 95% CI = 1.570–2.730, p = 2.5 × 10−7). Conclusions Our meta-analysis revealed a significantly higher circulating OPN level in SLE patients, a trend of positive correlation between OPN levels and SLE activity, and a significant association between OPN 1239 C/A and 9250 C/T polymorphisms, and SLE development.

Introduction: Lupus retinopathy and posterior uveitis are complications due to systemic lupus erythematosus which can threaten the vision. The presence of posterior segment manifestation is suggestive of high disease activity. The aim of this study is to identify posterior segment manifestation (Lupus Retinopathy and Posterior Uveitis) in SLE patient and their correlation with SLE disease activity using The Mexican-SLEDAI (MEX-SLEDAI) score.                                                                                                                                                                Methods: This was an analytical observational study with cross-sectional design, conducted from August to October 2020 and involved 114 SLE patients in Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital. We calculated MEX-SLEDAI score to assess SLE disease activity. All participant that met inclusion criteria underwent ophthalmology examinations using a portable slit-lamp, head indirect ophthalmoscope, and fundus finding were documented using portable fundus imaging.   Result: Lupus retinopathy (LR) presents in 25/114 (21.9%) and posterior uveitis (PU) occurs in 2/114 (1.8%) SLE patients. The mean age of patient with LR, PU, and without retinopathy were 32.92; 37.00; and 31.08 years respectively. The posterior segment findings were hemorrhages, cotton wool spots, hard exudates, and vasculitis reflecting vascular damage. The most common manifestation found in retina was cotton wool spot. The mean of MEX-SLEDAI score of SLE patient with LR (7.200 ± 3.905) and SLE patient with PU (3.500 ± 2.121) was higher than the mean of SLE patient without LR and PU (2.871 ± 2.534). There was a significant association between LR and MEX-SLEDAI score (p=0.000). An insignificant association between PU and MEX-SLEDAI score was found (p=0.353)   Conclusion There is a significance correlation between lupus retinopathy and SLE disease activity based on MEX-SLEDAI scores. The mean of MEX-SLEDAI score in SLE patients with lupus retinopathy was higher than SLE with posterior uvetis and SLE without posterior segment manifestations.

Background: Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most common and serious manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that causes significant morbidity and mortality. Certain biomarkers for LN are sometimes able to assess treatment response in lupus nephritis. This study aimed to compare serum complement levels (C3 and C4) as markers of treatment response of LN and their relation to the LN class in renal biopsy. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Nephrology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2018 to August 2019. Twenty seven patients who were diagnosed with LN after kidney biopsy were included in this study. Serum complement levels (C3 and C4), 24 hours urinary total protein (24-hr UTP) and anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-ds DNA) were measured in all patients at baseline, 3 months and 6 months after treatment initiation. These biomarker values before and after treatment were compared between the proliferative and non-proliferative LN patients. Results: Serum C3 levels were significantly different between patients with proliferative LN (Class III and Class IV) and non-proliferative LN (Class V) at baseline (0.47 ± 0.32 g/l versus 0.89 ± 0.43 g/l, p=0.009) and levels changed significantly 6 months after treatment initiation (p<0.001) and likewise for serum C4 levels (0.10 ± 0.06 g/l versus 0.24 ± 0.26 g/l, p=0.040). The values of 24-hr UTP and anti-ds-DNA were significantly different 6 months after treatment with p value <0.05 in both groups but C3 (p<0.001) and renal Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (rSLEDAI) (p<0.001) were only significant in the proliferative group. On the other hand, after 6 months treatment, C4 levels became relatively higher but that was not significant in both groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: After 6 months of treatment, serum C3 and C4 levels increased towards normal in both LN groups. Serum C3 and C4 levels in patients with LN correlate with disease activity. Therefore, serum complement (C3 and C4) levels may be utilized as serological biomarkers for treatment response of LN. Birdem Med J 2021; 11(2): 97-102
