Expression of hsa-let-7f-5p and serum levels of interleukin-10, cystatin-C and transforming growth factor-beta in systemic lupus erythematosus patients with lupus nephritis
Aim of the work
To investigate the impact of mi-RNA (hsa-let-7f-5p) expression, levels of cystatin C, serum interleukin-10 (IL-10), and transforming-growth-factor-beta (TGF-β) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with and without lupus nephritis (LN).
Patients and methods
The work included 60 SLE patients: thirty with and thirty without LN, along with thirty matched controls. The SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) was assessed. Enzyme-linked-immunosorbent-assay (ELISA) was used to evaluate serum levels of TGF-β, IL-10, and Cystatin-C and expression of mi-RNA Let-7f-5p quantified using real-time polymerized-chain-reaction (PCR).
Results
The mean age of LN patients was 31.6 ± 8.4 years, twenty-eight females and 2 males. mi-RNA Let-7f-5p, serum TGFβ, IL10, and cystatin C were significantly higher in those with LN (4.4 ± 2, 357.6 ± 50.8 ng/mL, 173.1 ± 18 pg/mL and 8.03 ± 1.96 ng/mL) compared to case without (2.5 ± 0.92, 319.7 ± 44.4 ng/mL, 108.8 ± 22.8 pg/mL, and 3.43 ± 1.1 ng/mL) and control (1.03 ± 0.07, 210.3 ± 18.6 ng/mL, 56 ± 18.5 pg/mL and 2.53 ± 1.1 ng/ml)(p < 0.001). In LN, mi-RNA Let-7f-5p and IL10 were significantly different in those with oral ulcers (n = 8)(p = 0.03, and p = 0.01 respectively). mi-RNA Let-7f-5p and TGF-β were significantly lower in those with headache (n = 3)(p < 0.001, and p = 0.04 respectively). In patients without LN, TGF-β was significantly lower in those with malar rash (n = 10)(p = 0.04) and serum cystatin-C was lower in those with arthritis (n = 12)(p = 0.02). In LN, IL-10 significantly correlated with disease duration (r = 0.38,p = 0.04) and cystatin-C inversely with platelets (r = -0.42,p = 0.02), Cystatin-C correlated with mi-RNA Let-7f-5p (r = 0.45,p = 0.01) and inversely with SLEDAI (r = -0.44,p = 0.01).
Conclusion
The potential role of mi-RNA Let-7f-5p on LN with the possible involvement of TGFβ, IL10, and cystatin-C in the pathophysiology of both SLE and LN.
