Autoimmunity and autoinflammation in pathogenesis of immunoinflammatory diseases

Abstract

Rheumatic diseases relate to the group of the immunoinflammatory diseases (IID), in pathogenesis of which have a value both autoimmune and autoinflammatory processes.
 Aim.To present the heterogeneous pathogenesis of inflammation in IID.
 Materials and methods.It is inspected 260 patients (pts) with IID: 242 pts with systemic autoimmune diseases (SAD): 65 systemic lupus erythematosis, 50 systemic sclerosis, 127 systemic vasculitides (SV) and 18 patients with autoinflammatory diseases (AID): 8 Behcets disease, 2 periodic disease, 5 familial cold fever, 2 idiopathic lobular panniculitis and 1 relapsing polychondritis. Is carried out a study of complement, antigen of von Willebrand factor (FW:AG), antinuclear antibodies, antibodies to DNA, anti-endothelial antibodies, antibodies to topoizomeraze I (anti-Scl-70), antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL IgG and aCL IgM), cryoglobulins, VS, CRP.
 Results.SAD were characterized by the synthesis of wide antibodies spectrum. As the basic serological marker at the screening it follows to consider antinuclear antibodies (75%). Practically in all groups it took place hypcomlemetemia with reduction of C3 and C4 complement. With systemic lupus erythematosis are revealed antibodies to DNA (71%), with ANCA-associated SV-ANCA (94%), aKL (14%); with SSD aScl-70 (17%). At Wegener granulomatosis ANCA are determined in 94% patients in the active stage. It is noted correlation ANCA with the index of the clinical activity of vasculitis. In the remaining SV groups ANCA were separated in the single cases. Cryoglobulins are noted in all patients with cryoglobulinemic vasculitis. aCL IgG and aCL IgM were the markers of antiphospholipid syndrome. Аnti-endothelial antibodies had significant oscillation spectrum. High indices FW:AG are noted with all above nosologic forms indicated, especially with Wegener granulomatosis and vasculitis hemorrhagic. Among the laboratory tests of inflammatory activity should be considered the determination of VS, CRP and FV:AG, which is also considered the marker of vascular wall defeat. Is given clinical characteristic and changes in the laboratory indices at AID:
 Conclusion.Isolation from the group IID of patients with AID serves as indication for a genetic study of this contingent with the approval of use for their treatment of biological therapy. Isolation from the group SAD patients with AID serves as indication for a genetic study of this contingent with the approval of use for their treatment of biological therapy.
