Abstract
Insight into the most important inflammatory pathways in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) could be of importance in risk stratification and the development of treatment strategies. Therefore, we aimed to compare circulating levels of inflammatory biomarkers between AS patients and controls, and explore associations between these biomarkers and clinical measures of disease activity. In a cross-sectional study, 143 AS patients were compared with 124 population controls. Blood samples were analysed by immunoassays for interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17a, IL-23, soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (sTNF-R1) and 2 (sTNF-R2), and osteoprotegerin (OPG). Disease activity was measured by the AS Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) and the Bath AS Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) demonstrated elevated plasma levels of sTNF-R1 [geometrical mean 0.94 (95% CI 0.88-1.00) vs. 0.83 (95% CI 0.78-0.89) ng/mL, p < 0.01] and OPG (2.3, 95% CI 2.1-2.4 vs. 2.0, 95% CI 1.9-2.2 ng/mL, p = 0.02) and, although not significant, of IL-23 (122, 95% CI 108-139 vs. 106, 95% CI 93-120 pg/mL, p = 0.07) in AS patients vs. More AS patients had a high level of sTNF-R2 than controls (22 vs. 1, p < 0.01). No differences between the groups were seen...Continue Reading
