Uncovering NINJ1 in SLE: Biomarker potential for renal and hematologic manifestations
Objective
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease, with an unclear etiology. This study investigated the clinical relevance of serum NINJ1 levels in SLE and evaluated its potential as a biomarker.
Methods
Serum NINJ1 levels were measured in 99 newly diagnosed SLE patients and 43 healthy controls. Associations with clinical features, inflammatory markers, and autoantibodies were analyzed. ROC curve analysis was performed for diagnostic evaluation.
Results
Serum NINJ1 levels were significantly higher in SLE patients (p < 0.0001) and further elevated in those with lupus nephritis (LN) and thrombocytopenia. Positive correlations with proteinuria, CRP, and NLR were found. ROC analysis showed good diagnostic performance (AUC = 0.83).
Conclusion
Serum NINJ1 is a promising biomarker for SLE, particularly for identifying LN and thrombocytopenia, and may aid in disease stratification and monitoring.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
