Objective.To identify biomarkers for bone metabolism in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to determine the relationship between these biomarkers and disease activity, back mobility, osteoproliferation, and bone mineral density (BMD).Methods.Serum levels of Wingless protein (Wnt-3a), Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1), sclerostin, soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (sRANKL), and osteoprotegerin were assessed using ELISA. Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score-C reactive protein, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis patient global score, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were used as disease activity measures, and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) as a measure of spinal mobility. Lateral spine radiographs were scored for chronic AS-related changes (mSASSS). BMD was measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.Results.Two hundred four patients with AS (NY criteria; 57% men), with a mean age of 50 ± 13 years and disease duration 15 ± 11 years, and 80 age and sex-matched controls were included. The patients with AS had significantly higher serum levels of Wnt-3a (p < 0.001) and lower levels of sclerostin (p = 0.014) and sRANKL (p = 0.047) compared with the controls. High CRP was associated with low sclerostin (rS = −0.21, p = 0.003) and DKK-1 (rS = −0.14, p = 0.045). In multiple linear regression analyses, increasing BASMI and mSASSS were independently associated with older age, male sex, high CRP, and elevated serum levels of Wnt-3a. In addition, mSASSS remained associated with a high number of smoking pack-years after adjusting for age. Low BMD of femoral neck was associated with high mSASSS after adjusting for age.Conclusion.Serum levels of Wnt-3a are elevated in AS and associated with increased BASMI and mSASSS, independent of age, indicating that Wnt-3a could be a biomarker for the osteoproliferative process.

Background:Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the spine and sacroiliac joints characterized by new bone formation (syndesmophytes) and ankyloses. In AS cases, along with the damage to the musculoskeletal system, impairment of other organs and systems is often observed (uveitis, inflammatory bowel and heart diseases). Pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6,-17,-23,-21,-22,-31) and chemokines (IL-8) are key pathogenic markers in AS.Objectives:The aims of the study were to determine the serum levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in AS and investigate their relationship with disease activity.Methods:We studied 140 patients (pts) with AS fulfilled modified New York criteria (1984); (102M/38F); median and interquartile range (25th—75th percentile) of age 43.0; 35.0-51.0 years; disease duration 6.0; 4.0-12.0 years; BASDAI - 5.4; 4.1-6.6; ASDAS ESR - 3.6; 2.6-4.4; ASDAS CRP - 3.8; 2.7-4.5; 86% HLA-27 positive. In 50% of pts with AS, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) were diagnosed. The control group included 17 healthy donors (HC). The serum concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay using IMMULATE 1000 analyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, USA).Results:AS pts had significantly higher serum level of IL-6 than HC (4.3; 0.1-8.0 pg/ml vs 2.3; 0.1-2.7 pg/ml, p <0.006). The median concentration of IL-8 didn’t differ between AS pts and HC (10.5; 8.3-18.0 pg/ml vs 11.9; 8.2-18.3 pg/ml, p>0.05). The same levels of IL-6 and IL-8 were detected in AS with IBD and AS without signs of IBD (p>0.05). In AS pts, serum IL-6 concentration was positively correlated with ASDAS ESR (r = 0.3), ASDAS CRP (r = 0.3), ESR (r = 0.3) and CRP (r = 0.5) (p <0.05); IL-8 was negatively associated with presence of fecal calprotectin (r = -0.3) (p <0.05).Conclusion:Elevated serum concentration of IL-6 in AS is associated with clinical and laboratory markers of high inflammatory activity of the disease. The levels of IL-8 in the sera of AS patients were negatively correlated with the concentration of fecal calprotectin. Data on the relationship of IL-8 with the activity of the pathological process in AS require further study.Disclosure of Interests:Elena Aleksandrova: None declared, Alexander Novikov: None declared, Polina Kulakova: None declared, Aleksey Dorofeev: None declared, Nadezhda Savenkova: None declared, Evgeniy Volnukhin: None declared, Anton Kovshik: None declared, Galina Lukina Speakers bureau: Novartis, Pfizer, UCB, Abbvie, Biocad, MSD, Roche

AB0119 SERUM LEVELS OF INTERLEUKIN-22 ARE HIGH IN ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS, PARTICULARLY IN SMOKERS, BUT DO NOT CORRELATE WITH RADIOGRAPHIC BONE FORMATION NOR WITH DISEASE ACTIVITY

Background:Elevated serum levels of interleukin (IL)-22 were reported in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).[1]IL-22 was also reported to drive the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.[2]Objectives:To confirm the fact that serum levels of IL-22 are elevated in AS patients and to examine the relationship between concentrations of IL-22 and degree of radiographic progression in AS patients.Methods:Seventeen male patients with established AS of more than 4 years duration signed the informed consent and donated 10 ml of peripheral blood. Demographic data was collected from patient’s charts. Disease activity indices were calculated for all patients and radiographic disease progression was calculated as mSASS. A control group included 6 healthy persons and 4 patients with advanced diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). Serum levels of IL-22 were tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Intergroup differences were examined using the Mann-Whitney test, while correlations were calculated using Pearson correlation coefficient.Results:Serum IL-22 levels were remarkably elevated in patients with AS, comparing to healthy individuals and patients with DISH (p=0.005). However, increased concentrations of IL-22 did not correlate with the degree of radiographic progression or AS disease activity indices, nor with disease duration or patient’s age. Presence of diarrhea, psoriasis, uveitis, or elevated levels of C-reactive protein did not influence the levels of IL-22 as well. More AS patients with elevated serum IL-22 were smokers (p=0.05).Fig. 1.Serum levels of interleukin 22 (pg/ml)Conclusion:The serum levels of IL-22 are elevated in patients with AS. It seems that smoking can be related to the elevated levels of serum IL-22 in AS. The significance of this data is unclear and further research is needed.References:[1]Zhang L, Li Y gang, Li Y hua, Qi L, Liu X guang, Yuan C zhong, et al.

Soluble Cd30

Soluble CD30 (sCD30), a transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily, has been shown to be associated with various pathological conditions. This study was designed to measure the levels of serum sCD30 in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to evaluate the relationships between serum sCD30 levels and other disease severity-related indexes, including bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI), ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score (ASDAS), and bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index (BASFI). Our results demonstrated significantly elevated sCD30 levels in AS patients compared to healthy controls (HCs) with mean values of32.0±12.2and24.9±8.0 ng/mL, respectively(P**=0.007), suggesting a potential role of sCD30 in the pathogenesis of AS. However, no significant correlations of sCD30 with BASDAI, ASDAS, or BASFI were detected in our study(P>0.05). Therefore, sCD30 cannot be used as a reliable marker for reflecting disease activity and functional ability of AS patients.
