In SLE patients, we found disturbances of peripheral B-cell homeostasis with accumulation of IgD+ CD38++ transitional B cells and CD27++ PCs. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Therefore, in case CD27 is chosen as a biomarker for monitoring SLE-disease activity, infections should be considered as a possible cause of CD27++ PC increase. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) exhibit an expanded population of CD27++ PCs, while the number of CD27? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Within the group of CTD-suspected patients, patients with serum ANAs had similar frequencies of CD27? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In contrast to our data, in the prior study, anti-SS-A/B and anti-dsDNA antibodies were found to be associated with increased CD27++ PC frequencies (25). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The frequency of CD27++ PCs has been shown to significantly correlate with SLE-disease activity: patients with active SLE had higher frequencies of PCs than patients with inactive SLE (12, 25). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
It is unknown whether the presence of serum ANAs coincide with elevated frequencies of CD27++ PCs. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Insights into the behavior of the PC compartment are essential to validate CD27 as a reliable biomarker for SLE. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In support, others described that patients with inactive SLE had increased frequencies of CD27++ PCs but normal absolute numbers of PCs, whereas patients with active SLE had elevated frequencies and absolute numbers of PCs (12, 14). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These patients had significantly lower frequencies of CD27++ PCs compared with SLE patients suggesting a possible diagnostic value of PC analyses in SLE. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
SLE patients showed increased frequencies of CD27++/CD20? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
These findings may indicate that autoantibody production is not preceded by accumulation of CD27++ PCs. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Within the group of SLE patients, the presence of serum anti-RNP antibodies (N = 13) was found to be associated with a higher frequency of CD27++/CD20? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Peripheral blood B lymphocytes with high levels of CD27 (CD27++) were characterized as PCs, which express low levels of CD19 and surface Ig, high amounts of CD38 and CD138, and are CD20? | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
