简介:AbstractBackground:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by synovial inflammation, can cause cartilage and bone damage as well as disability. The aim of this study was to explore whether serum glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) is correlated with disease activity and the value of GPI in the evaluation of infliximab treatment in patients with RA.Methods:Sixty-two patients with RA who had an inadequate response to methotrexate (MTX) were enrolled in Peking University People’s Hospital from July 1, 2016 to July 31, 2018. Infliximab (3 mg/kg, intravenous at weeks 0, 2, and 6 and then every 8 weeks) was administered to patients with stable background MTX therapy. Serum samples were obtained at baseline and week 18. Serum GPI levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The associations between serum GPI levels and clinical features were analyzed.Results:Serum GPI was positively correlated with Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28), swollen joint count, tender joint count and C-reactive protein level (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P < 0.001, and P = 0.033, respectively). The change of DAS28 in GPI-positive patients was greater than that in GPI-negative patients (P < 0.001). Compared with those for patients receiving MTX monotherapy at baseline, the GPI levels were significantly declined when MTX was combined with infliximab (P < 0.001).Conclusion:Serum GPI is related to disease activity and clinical response to infliximab treatment.
简介:抽象Trehalose在保护有机体免受各种各样的压力的伤害起一个重要作用。Trehalose-6-phosphatesynthase(TPS)是在trehalose合成的关键酶,但是在昆虫,一些仅仅TPS基因被识别了,他们的功能很好没被描绘。更好在昆虫理解TPS的功能,完全的TPS互补DNA(cDNA)克隆从蝗虫草之小穗migratoriamanilensis的胖身体被获得(GenBank就职数字:EU131894)。全身的cDNA是2806bp,包括2442bp的一个开的读物框架,它与91976道尔顿的计算分子的重量和6.14的一个等电位的点编码813氨基酸蛋白质。推出的氨基酸顺序高度类似于另外的出版昆虫TPS,它的C终端也有对trehalose磷酸盐phsophatase(TPP)相应的一个区域。半量的分析显示TPS抄本不仅在胖身体,而且在内脏,血淋巴和腿肌肉被表示。这些数据可以在昆虫便于TPS功能的研究并且改进我们trehalose新陈代谢的理解。
