Purpose:
We aimed to explore the expressions of peptidoglycan recognition protein 1 (PGLYRP-1), neuron towards axon guidance factor-1 (Netrin-1) and miR-142-3p and their correlations in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Patients And Methods:
Sixty patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated from January 2022 to January 2023 were enrolled as a rheumatoid group, 30 patients with osteoarthritis were selected as an osteoarthritis group, and 30 healthy volunteers were recruited as a control group. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction were employed to measure the expressions of PGLYRP-1, Netrin-1 and miR-142-3p, respectively. The correlations among PGLYRP-1, Netrin-1 and miR-142-3p expressions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis were analyzed.
Results:
In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, PGLYRP-1 expression was negatively correlated with Netrin-1 expression (r=-0.570, P=0.001) but positively correlated with miR-142-3p expression (r=0.599, P=0.001), and a negative correlation was found between Netrin-1 and miR-142-3p expressions (r=-0.468, P=0.001). The combined detection of PGLYRP-1, Netrin-1 and miR-142-3p was more sensitive and less specific for predicting the prognosis of patients with rheumatoid arthritis than the measurement of a single marker (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
The combined measurement of PGLYRP-1, Netrin-1 and miR-142-3p has a predictive value for the prognosis of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
