摘要
背景：循环聚合突变型 Z-α-1抗胰蛋白酶（Z-聚合体）是α-1抗胰蛋白酶缺乏症（AATD）的一个特征，但人们对其与不良临床结果和肝纤维化的关系了解有限。我们利用一个大型成人α-1抗胰蛋白酶缺乏症患者队列中的数据探讨了这种关联：方法：我们纳入了欧洲阿尔法-1 肝队列（2015-2020 年）中的 836 名（431 名 PiZZ，405 名 PiMZ）成人 AATD 患者和 312 名对照者（PiMM）。对具有 PiZZ 基因型的成人进行了不良临床结局（最早发生肝脏相关住院、肝移植或全因死亡）的时间到事件分析。采用 Cox 比例危险模型来描述二元循环 Z 聚合物水平与不良临床结果之间的关系。评估了基线循环 Z 聚合物水平与基线肝纤维化（通过瞬态弹性成像法 [FibroScan®] 确定的肝硬度测量值 [LSM]）之间的相关性。分析结果按增强治疗状态进行了分层：结果：在324名具有PiZZ基因型和纵向随访数据的成人中，28人报告了不良临床结果。在粗略（危险比[95% 置信区间，CI]，2.88 [1.21, 6.87]）和年龄调整（1.96 [0.78, 4.94]）分析中，较高的基线循环 Z 聚合物水平与不良临床结果的风险增加有关。在具有 PiZZ 基因型的成年人中，循环 Z 聚合物水平与基线 LSM 呈弱正相关（Spearman's rho [95% CI]：0.21 [0.11, 0.31]）。根据增强治疗状态进行分层后也观察到了类似的结果：结论：在具有 PiZZ 基因型的成人中，较高的循环 Z 聚合物水平与较短的不良临床结局时间相关，并与基线 LSM 呈正相关。循环中的 Z 聚合物水平可能是 AATD 临床相关疾病的预后生物标志物。
Association of circulating Z-polymer with adverse clinical outcomes and liver fibrosis in adults with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
Background: Circulating polymerized mutant Z-alpha-1 antitrypsin (Z-polymer) constitutes a characteristic feature in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), but there is limited knowledge about its association with adverse clinical outcomes and liver fibrosis. We explored this association using data from a large cohort of adults with AATD.
Methods: A total of 836 (431 PiZZ, 405 PiMZ) adults with AATD and 312 controls (PiMM) from the European Alpha-1 Liver Cohort (2015-2020) were included. Time-to-event analyses were conducted for adults with the PiZZ genotype followed for adverse clinical outcomes (earliest occurrence of liver-related hospitalization, liver transplant or all-cause mortality). Cox proportional hazard models were used to describe the association between binary circulating Z-polymer levels and adverse clinical outcomes. Correlations between baseline circulating Z-polymer levels and baseline liver fibrosis (liver stiffness measurement [LSM] determined by transient elastography [FibroScan®]) were evaluated. The analyses were stratified by augmentation therapy status.
Results: Of 324 adults with the PiZZ genotype and longitudinal follow-up data, 28 reported adverse clinical outcomes. Higher baseline circulating Z-polymer levels were associated with an increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes in both crude (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval, CI], 2.88 [1.21, 6.87]) and age-adjusted (1.96 [0.78, 4.94]) analyses. In adults with the PiZZ genotype, circulating Z-polymer levels were weakly positively correlated with baseline LSM (Spearman's rho [95% CI]: 0.21 [0.11, 0.31]). Similar results were observed after stratification by augmentation therapy status.
Conclusions: In adults with the PiZZ genotype, higher circulating Z-polymer levels were associated with a shorter time to adverse clinical outcome, and positively correlated with baseline LSM. Circulating Z-polymer levels may be a prognostic biomarker of clinically relevant disease in AATD.
