Objectives: To explore the relation between radiographic
progression and biomarkers of inflammation (C-reactive protein
(CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), YKL-40), angiogenesis (vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF)), cartilage turnover (CTX-II,
matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3), total aggrecan, cartilage
oligomeric matrix protein (COMP)) and bone turnover (CTX-I, total
osteocalcin) and MRI inflammation in patients with axial
spondyloarthritis (SpA) treated with TNFα inhibitor.
Methods: Thirty-six patients (27 men, 9 women; median age 40
yrs (range 21-62); disease duration 15 yrs (1-45)) initiated
treatment with TNFα inhibitors (infliximab (n=28), etanercept (n=7)
and adalimumab (n=1)) and were followed for 46 weeks. Radiographs
were evaluated according to the modified Stoke Ankylosing
Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS) at baseline and week 46. Patients
developing new syndesmophytes (0 vs. ≥1) or increased in mSASSS (0
vs. ≥1 unit) were compared with those who did not, regarding
biomarker levels and MRI inflammation scores of the sacroiliac
joints and lumbar spine (Berlin scores) and with biomarker levels
of healthy subjects.
Results: The patients increased in mSASSS from median 13
(IQR: 6-24) at baseline to 15 (6-24) (p=0.005) at week 46
(p=0.005). Eighteen (50%) patients increased in mSASSS (i.e.
progressed) and 11 (30%) developed new syndesmophytes. mSASSS and
biomarkers did not correlate. Compared to mSASSS non-progressors,
mSASSS progressors had higher pretreatment total aggrecan (666
ng/ml (537-820) vs. 507 (401-646), p=0.007) and higher
time-integrated mean concentrations of total aggrecan from baseline
to week 22 (743 ng/ml (612-849) vs. 602 (446-707), p=0.02) and 46
(746 ng/ml (636-895) vs. 638 (450-735), p=0.02). Patients
developing new syndesmophytes also had higher time-integrated mean
concentration of total aggrecan from baseline to week 22 and 46 as
compared to patients without new syndesmophytes (results like
above). Development of new syndesmophytes was associated with
larger percentage decreases in CRP (-90% (-96;-78) vs. -58
(-88;-25), p=0.007) and IL-6 (-81% (-93;-75) vs. -67 (-89;-16),
p=0.02) and increases in osteocalcin (20% (9;36) vs. 9% (-10;25),
p=0.049). Radiographic progression was associated with
normalization of CRP and IL-6 at week 22 (i.e. CRP ≤8 mg/l and
IL-6≤3.3 ng/l) and decrease in MRI inflammation. Radiographic
non-progression was associated with persistent systemic
inflammation and unchanged/increased MRI inflammation scores (Table
1).
Conclusion: Radiographic progression in patients with axial
SpA during treatment with TNFα inhibitors was associated with
resolution of systemic inflammation and reduction in MRI
inflammation but not with baseline inflammation.

中轴型SpA患者使用TNF拮抗剂治疗后放射学进展与全身炎症消退相关
Pedersen SJ, et al. ACR 2010. Present No:

目的:探讨中轴型SpA患者接受TNF拮抗剂治疗后,放射学进展与炎症标记物(CRP、IL-6、YKL-40)、血管生成(VEGF)、软骨转换(CTX-II、MMP3、总软骨蛋白聚糖、COMP)、骨转换(CTX-I、总骨钙素)和MRI炎症的相关性。
方法:36例患者(27例男性,9例女性;平均年龄40岁;平均病程15年)使用TNF拮抗剂(英夫利昔单抗28例,依那西普7例,阿达木单抗1例)治疗46周。在基线期和第46周,采用mSASSS评分方法进行放射学评估。根据有无新发韧带骨赘或mSASSS评分升高,将患者就生物标记物水平、MRI骶髂关节和腰椎炎症评分(柏林评分)进行比较,并与健康对照者的生物标记物水平比较。
结果:患者的mSASSS从基线期平均13(IQR: 6-24)上升至第46周平均15(6-24)(p=0.005)。18例(50%)患者mSASSS升高(即进展),11例(30%)出现新的韧带骨赘。mSASSS与生物标记物没有相关性。与mSASSS无进展者相比,mSASSS进展者治疗前总软骨蛋白聚糖水平更高(666 ng/ml (537-820) vs. 507
(401-646), p=0.007),从基线期到第22周时间积分的总软骨蛋白聚糖平均浓度更高(746 ng/ml (636-895) vs. 638
(450-735), p=0.02)。与无新发韧带骨赘的患者相比,新发韧带骨赘的患者从基线期到第22周和第46周时间积分的总软骨蛋白聚糖平均浓度更高(结果与前相似)。新发韧带骨赘与CRP(-90% (-96;-78) vs. -58 (-88;-25),
p=0.007)和IL-6(-81% (-93;-75) vs. -67 (-89;-16), p=0.02)降低百分比更大相关,与骨钙素升高百分比更大相关(20% (9;36) vs. 9% (-10;25),
p=0.049)。放射学进展与第22周CRP和IL-6正常(即CRP ≤8 mg/l,IL-6≤3.3 ng/l)、MRI炎症减轻相关。无放射学进展与全身炎症持续、MRI炎症评分无变化/上升相关(表1)。
结论:接受抗TNF治疗的中轴型SpA患者放射学进展与全身炎症消退、MRI炎症减轻相关,与基线期炎症无关。
