ABSTRACT
Protein
A-immunoadsorption (IA) is an extracorporeal apheresis technique used in
patients with autoimmune diseases which aims to remove pathogenic
autoantibodies. Apart from the adsorption of immunoglobulins (IgG), IA may
influence cellular and humoral immunity. The aim of this study was to observe
the effect of protein A-IA on cytokine networks in antineutrophil cytoplasmic
antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) patients. A total of 12 newly
diagnosed AAV patients received IA therapy on days 1, 3, and 5. Serum levels of
inflammatory cytokines were measured before and after treatment including
members of the interleukin family, PDGF-BB, TNF-α and IFN-γ. IL-1β,
IL-9, IL-17A, PDGF-BB, IFN-γ, and TNF-α were elevated in AAV patients
compared to healthy individuals. There were no changes in the levels of any
cytokines after the first IA session but after 3 sessions, IL-9, PDGF-BB, and
TNF-α dramatically decreased. Moreover, reductions in IL-9 levels were
positively correlated with the changes of myeloperoxidase-ANCA
(MPO-ANCA). Our observations suggest that protein A-IA therapy does not
directly adsorb cytokines, but removes autoantibodies (MPO-ANCA) which
indirectly leads to changes in cytokine networks linked to cellular or humoral
immunity.

ABSTRAK
A-imunopenjerapan protein (IA) merupakan teknik ekstrakorporeum aferesis yang digunakan pada pesakit yang mempunyai penyakit autoimun bertujuan untuk menyingkirkan autoantibodi patogen. Selain daripada penjerapan immunoglobulin (IgG), IA boleh mempengaruhi imuniti sel dan humoral. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk melihat kesan protein A-IA ke atas rangkaian sitokin pada pesakit vasculitis (AAV) yang berkait dengan antibodi sitoplasmik antineutrofil (ANCA). Seramai 12 pesakit AAV yang baru didiagnos telah menerima terapi IA pada hari 1, 3 dan 5. Tahap serum daripada keradangan sitokin telah diukur sebelum dan selepas rawatan termasuk anggota daripada keluarga interleukin, PDGF-BB, TNF- α dan IFN-γ. IL-1β,
IL-9, IL-17A, PDGF-BB, IFN-γ dan TNF-α menaik pada pesakit AAV berbanding dengan individu yang sihat. Tiada perubahan pada tahap dalam mana-mana sitokin selepas sesi pertama IA tetapi selepas sesi ketiga, IL-9, PDGF-BB dan
TNF-α menurun dengan mendadak. Selain itu, penurunan dalam paras IL-9 berkorelasi secara positif dengan perubahan mieloperoksidase-ANCA (MPO-ANCA). Berdasarkan pemerhatian kami, terapi protein A-IA tidak menjerap sitokin secara langsung, tetapi mengeluarkan autoantibodi (MPO-ANCA) yang secara tidak langsung mengakibatkan perubahan kepada rangkaian sitokin yang berpaut kepada imuniti sel atau humoral.
