Abstract

<jats:sec><jats:title>Background:</jats:title><jats:p>Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune/inflammatory disease. Approximately 30% of SLE patients develop lupus nephritis (LN) that affects treatment and prognosis. Easily accessible biomarkers do not exist to reliably predict renal disease<jats:sup>1</jats:sup>. Recently, calcium-binding S100 proteins have been suggested as biomarkers in systemic inflammatory conditions, including SLE<jats:sup>2,3</jats:sup>.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives:</jats:title><jats:p>The MASTERPLANS Consortium aims to identify indicators of treatment responses in SLE. This study tested the applicability of S100 proteins in serum and urine as biomarkers for disease activity and response to treatment with rituximab in LN.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:</jats:title><jats:p>S100A8/A9 and S100A12 proteins were quantified in the serum and urine of 243 SLE patients from the BILAG-BR study and 48 matched controls using MSD technology to determine whether they perform as biomarkers for active LN (n=85 SLE patients) and/or may be used to predict response to treatment with rituximab. Renal disease activity and response to treatment was based on BILAG-BR scores and changes in response to treatment<jats:sup>4,5</jats:sup>.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:</jats:title><jats:p>Serum S100A12 (p&lt;0.001), and serum and urine S100A8/A9 (p&lt;0.001) are elevated in SLE patients. While serum and urine S100 levels do not correlate with global SLE disease activity (SLEDAI), levels in urine and urine/serum ratios are elevated in SLE patients with active LN (S100A8/A9: urine p&gt;0.005, urine/serum p&lt;0.05; S100A12: urine p&lt;0.05, serum/urine p&lt;0.005). S100 proteins perform better as biomarkers for active LN involvement in SLE patients positive for anti-dsDNA antibodies. Lastly, binary logistic regression and AUC analysis suggests the combination of serum S100A8/A9 and S100A12 to predict response to RTX treatment in LN after 6 months.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title><jats:p>Findings from this study show promise for clinical application of S100 proteins to predict active renal disease in SLE and response to treatment with rituximab. Significantly overlapping values between groups currently prohibit the definition of cut-off values and prospective studies are required to validate findings.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>References:</jats:title><jats:p>[1]Reppe Moe SE,<jats:italic>et al</jats:italic>.
