摘要:目的:静脉冲击环磷酰胺 (IVCY) 是治疗系统性硬化症相关间质性肺病(SSc-ILD)的一线治疗。到目前为止,尽管反映血管活化的参数可潜在预测其疗效,但还没有预测IVCY对SSc-ILD疗效的有效指标。因纤溶酶-α2-纤维蛋白溶酶抑制剂复合物(PIC)可能为系统性硬化症患者血管病变的一种潜在生物标志物,我们评估了血浆PIC水平作为IVCY对SSc-ILD疗效。
方法:我们纳入23名活动性SSc-ILD患者及20名病情平稳的SSc-ILD患者,检测患者血浆PIC水平,同时回顾性分析IVCY治疗期间活动性SSc-ILD患者的临床数据。
结果:活动性SSc-ILD患者较稳定的SSc-ILD相比,血浆PIC水平显著升高。活动性SSc-ILD患者中,对IVCY反应好的患者基线血浆PIC浓度显著高于对IVCY反应欠佳的患者。6个月治疗后,血浆PIC水平在IVCY反应好的患者中较基线显著下降,但在反应欠佳的患者中无差异。在前者,血浆PIC水平在输注几次后显著下降。考虑到整个注射过程中参数变化,Δ血浆PIC水平与Δ血清KL-6水平正相关,与预测肺活量百分比负相关。
结论:基线血浆PIC水平升高及环磷酰胺冲击后血浆PIC的显著下降可预测整个环磷酰胺冲击治疗对SSc-ILD的疗效。

So far, there is no useful predictive marker for IVCY efficacy against SSc-ILD, although potential candidates are parameters reflecting vascular activation. Since plasma levels of plasmin-α2-plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC) serve as a potential biomarker of SSc vasculopathy, we evaluated the usefulness of plasma PIC levels as an indicator for IVCY efficacy against SSc-ILD. METHODS:We measured plasma PIC levels in 23 patients with active SSc-ILD and 20 patients with stabilized SSc-ILD, and also retrospectively studied traceable data of patients with active SSc-ILD during IVCY therapy. RESULTS:Plasma PIC levels were significantly elevated in patients with active SSc-ILD as compared to patients with stabilized SSc-ILD. Among patients with active SSc-ILD, baseline plasma PIC concentrations were significantly higher in patients responsive to IVCY than in those refractory to IVCY. After the entire 6 infusions, plasma PIC levels were significantly decreased compared with baseline in the responders, while not in the non-responders. In the responders, plasma PIC levels were remarkably decreased after a couple of infusions. Regarding the changes of parameters by the entire infusions, Δ plasma PIC levels correlated positively with Δ serum KL-6 levels and inversely with Δ the percentage of predicted vital capacity. CONCLUSIONS:The elevation of baseline plasma PIC levels and the rapid decrease in plasma PIC levels during a couple of infusions may predict the efficacy of the entire IVCY therapy against SSc-ILD.
