摘要
目的:系统性硬化症(SSc)是一种病因不明的复杂疾病。本研究的目的是评估SSc女性与健康对照者的血清成纤维细胞生长因子-23 (FGF-23)水平,并研究SSc患者血清FGF-23水平与钙沉着症之间的可能关联。方法:本横断面研究于2017年11月至2019年5月在西班牙格拉纳达的圣塞西利奥医院进行。本研究包括62名SSc女性和62名年龄和性别匹配的健康对照。采用间接酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)评价血清FGF-23浓度。结果:SSc患者与健康对照组FGF-23水平差异无统计学意义(78.2±60.5 vs 80.3±56.3 pg/mL, p= 0.662)。关于该疾病的特征,我们发现FGF-23的值与钙沉着症的存在之间存在关系。钙质沉着症患者的FGF-23水平较高(p= 0.028)。结论:我们观察到伴有钙质沉着症的SSc女性患者血清FGF-23水平升高。因此,FGF-23可能成为未来治疗的潜在靶点。
Role of fibroblast growth factor-23 in calcinosis in women with systemic sclerosis.
Objective: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex disorder of unknown etiology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) serum levels in women with SSc compared with healthy controls and to examine a possible association between FGF-23 serum levels with the presence of calcinosis in SSc patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in San Cecilio Hospital, Granada (Spain) from November 2017 to May 2019. Sixty-two women with SSc and 62 age and sex matched healthy controls were included in this study. FGF-23 serum concentration was evaluated by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: There was no significant difference in FGF-23 levels between SSc patients and healthy controls (78.2 ± 60.5 vs. 80.3 ± 56.3 pg/mL, p= 0.662). Regarding the characteristics of the disease, we found a relationship between the values of FGF-23 and the presence of calcinosis. The levels of FGF-23 are higher in patients suffering from calcinosis (p= 0.028).
Conclusion: We observed the presence of higher levels of serum FGF-23 in SSc female patients with calcinosis. Therefore, FGF-23 could be a possible therapeutic target for future treatments.
