Background:Growing evidences have demonstrated that autophagy is a powerful regulators in the pathogenesis of fibrosis and autoimmune diseases. Autophagy abnormalities in SSc involve abnormal autophagy-related protein and autophagy-related gene polymorphism[1-2], however there is a few reports on the expression and clinical significance of autophagy-related genes.Objectives:To investigate the expression and clinical significance of autophagy-related genes LC-3 mRNA, Becline-1 mRNA, Agt-3 mRNA, Agt-5 mRNA, Agt-12 mRNA and Agt-16L1 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of systemic sclerosis (SSc).Methods:51 cases of SSc and 60 cases of normal control were received from the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, and autophagy-related genes were detected by RT-PCR. SPSS19.0 statistical software was used to compare the expression of autophagy-related genes between groups and analyze the relationship between autophagy-related genes and clinical data, P<0.05 was considered statistically significantResults:LC-3, Becline-1, and Agt-3 were highly expressed in SSc compared with normal control [LC-3: 0.78(0.60) ×10-3 vs. 0.52(0.54) ×10-3; Beclin-1: 6.68(3.56)×10-3 vs. 5.22(3.54)×10-3; Agt-3: 17.58(12.33)×10-3 vs. 11.00(4.56)×10-3, P<0.05], however Agt-5, Agt-12 and Agt-16L1 of autophagy-related genes were not statistically significant [AGT-5: 6.67(3.58) ×10-3 vs. 6.67(2.64) ×10-3; AGT-12: 8.64(5.56)×10-3 vs. 8.57(4.66)×10-3; Agt-16L1: 2.69(2.19)×10-3 vs. 2.52(2.26)×10-3] (Figure 1). Beclin-1 and Agt-5 high expressed in SSc with the positive of anti-SSA/Ro antibody. LC-3 was positively correlated with Age(r=0.662) and ESR(r=0.355) (all P<0.05).Conclusion:Autophagy-related genes were increased in PBMC of SSc, and were correlated with Age, ESR and autoantibody, suggested that autophagy is a key feature in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis.Figure 1.The relative expression of autophagy-related genesReferences:[1]LIU C, ZHOU X, LU J, et al.

Better Than

Key PointsCell-free (plasma) EBV DNA performs better than cellular EBV DNA as a marker of a broad range of EBV+ diseases. Within a largely immunocompromised and hospitalized cohort, detection of EBV DNA in plasma is uncommon in the absence of EBV+ disease.
