Systemic Lupus Erythematosus merupakan penyakit inflamasi autoimun kronis dengan gambaran klinis luas dan perjalanan penyakit beragam. Pemberian pristan intraperitoneal dapat menginduksi lupus pada mencit. Secretome sel punca mesenkimal bekerja secara parakrin memberikan efek antinflamasi dan imunomodulasi antara lain mensupresi sel T dan sel B autoreaktif. High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) terkait dengan patogenesis SLE dan selaras dengan aktifitas penyakit.Tujuan Penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh secretome sel punca mesenkimal terhadap kadar hsCRP pada mencit model lupus dengan induksi pristan. Desain penelitian adalah eksperimental dengan randomisasi, post test only control group design, sampel 21 ekor mencit betina Mus Musculus galur Balb/C, dibagi 3 kelompok yaitu kelompok kontrol (injeksi intraperitoneal NaCl 0,9% 0,5 ml), kelompok perlakuan (injeksi pristan intraperitoneal 0,5 ml) dan kelompok terapi (injeksi intraperitoneal pristan 0,5 ml dan secretome 0,45 ml). Penelitian dilakukan selama 3 minggu, secretome diberikan pada akhir penelitian. Sesudah perlakuan dinilai kadar hsCRP secara ELISA. Analisis statistik menggunakan SPSS 22 for windows dengan uji Kruskal-Wallis dilanjutkan Mann-Whitney U test. P bermakna jika p<0,05. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata kadar hsCRP pada ketiga kelompok yaitu kontrol 440.68(110.08-564.29) ng/ mL; perlakuan (pristan) 2964.26(601.13-3926.10) ng/mL; terapi pristan+secretome) 506.93(207.62-1473.46) ng/mL, dengan kemaknaan p=0.008. Terdapat perbedaan bermakna kadar hsCRP antara kelompok pristan vs pristan+secretome (2457.33 ng/mL; p=0.047). Secretome sel punca mesenkimal mampu menurunkan kadar hsCRP pada mencit model lupus dengan induksi pristan.Kata Kunci: High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, Nefritis lupus, Secretome

Symptoms And Signs

Objective The objective of this paper is to investigate the utility of serum procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) as markers of infection in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Patients and methods Sixty-nine SLE patients with symptoms and signs of infection proved by culture and/or a favorable response to antibiotics and 69 SLE patients without infection were included. Serum PCT and plasma high-sensitivity CRP were assessed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results SLE patients with infection had a significantly higher level of CRP than those without infection ((median (IQR) 104.5 (25.5–100.9) and 10.3 (5.4–23.1) mg/l, respectively), p<0.001). Conclusion Serum PCT could not differentiate SLE patients with or without bacterial infection in this study, while the utility of CRP as a marker of infection has been confirmed.
