Krebs von den Lungen-6 as biomarker of the new progressive fibrotic phenotype of interstitial lung disease
Background
Novel progressive fibrotic phenotype has recently been proposed characterized by progressive and inexorable worsening of the disease. Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) has been proposed as fibrotic-ILD biomarker. We aimed to assess the role of KL-6 in fibrotic-ILD and the progressive phenotype in accordance with serial serum KL-6. Methods: 107 patients were enrolled in the study (median age,IQR, 65(54−71)y/o) followed at respiratory diseases and rheumatology units of University of Siena. Thirty-five had diagnoses of IPF, 18 sarcoidosis, 10 PLCH, 5 LAM, 24 fibrotic HP(fHP), 13 RA (4/13 RA-ILD) and 22 SSc (18/22 SSc-ILD). Serial serum samples were collected before therapy (t0) and 24 months later (t1) from IPF, SSc- and RA-ILD patients. Twenty-two healthy controls (HC) were enrolled. Serum samples were assayed for KL-6 concentrations (Fujirebio Europe, Gent, Belgium). Results: Higher KL-6 concentrations were reported in IPF, fHP and SSc-ILD patients than HC (p<0.0001). KL-6 cut-off value of 885 U/mL identified fibrotic-ILD patients. Logistic regression analysis indicated KL-6 (p=0.004) and smoking-habit (p=0.005) affected the ILD diagnosis. The decision tree model showed KL-6>1145 U/mL, DLco≤60.15 %, FVC≤86 % to classify 86 % IPF patients. Inverse correlation between T0-KL-6 and T1-FVC%(r=-0.314, p=0.046) and T1-DLco%(r=-0.327, p=0.038) in the progressive group. Conclusion: KL-6 proved to be a reliable marker for diagnosis and prognosis of fibrotic ILD patients with predictive value in progressive fibrotic patients and a useful marker to identify the new and similar progressive phenotype of IPF and SSc-ILD patients assessing the functional progression in accordance with serial serum KL-6 measurements.
期刊介绍:
Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed.
Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.
