    • Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and systemic sclerosis (SSc) are autoimmune diseases that predominantly affect female patients, and therefore fewer investigations have been conducted in men. The aim of this study was to analyze sex hormone levels in male patients with SLE and those with SSc, compared to matched controls, in relation to the use of corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide (CYC).Methods: Sex hormone levels were measured in fasting blood samples from male patients with SLE (n=71) and those with SSc (n=29) and compared to population-based, age-matched male controls. Relevant hormone profiles were identified using cluster analysis.Results: Male SLE patients had higher levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) (P<0.0001) and more frequent bioactive testosterone deficiency (P=0.02) than their matched controls. The current dosage of prednisolone correlated inversely with the levels of bioactive testosterone (r=-0.36, P=0.03). Cluster analysis identified a subset of SLE patients with increased levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, LH, and prolactin as well as lower levels of bioactive testosterone (P<0.0001) in relation to higher daily doses of prednisolone. In male SSc patients, levels of testosterone (P=0.03) and bioactive testosterone (P=0.02) were significantly lower than those in matched controls. Use of CYC during the previous year was associated with lower bioactive testosterone levels in both SLE patients (P=0.02) and SSc patients (P=0.01), after adjustment for age.Conclusion: The results of this study highlight the negative impact of corticosteroids on gonadal function in men with SLE. Furthermore, use of CYC during the year prior to study inclusion impaired bioactive testosterone levels in male patients with either SLE or SSc. Physicians should be more aware of the possibility of hypogonadism in male patients with autoimmune diseases. The need for hormonal supplementation remains to be formally evaluated in these patients.

  • Platelet-derived S100A8/A9 and cardiovascular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus.
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Arthritis & Rheumatology. - : Wiley. - 2326-5205 .- 2326-5191.
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • S100A8/A9, a pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic protein complex, is increased in several diseases and high levels predispose to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently, platelet S100A8/A9 synthesis was described in mouse and humans in relation to CVD. However, the role of platelet S100A8/A9 in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a disease with markedly increased cardiovascular morbidity, as well as the exact platelet distribution of the S100A8/A9 proteins has not been investigated.

  • Complement C4 copy number variation is linked to SSA/Ro and SSB/La autoantibodies in systemic inflammatory autoimmune diseases.
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Arthritis & rheumatology (Hoboken, N.J.). - : Wiley. - 2326-5205 .- 2326-5191. ; 74:8, s. 1440-1450
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Copy number variation of the C4 complement components, C4A and C4B, has been associated with systemic inflammatory autoimmune diseases. We asked if C4 copy number variation is connected to the autoimmune repertoire in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) or myositis.Using targeted DNA sequencing, we determined the copy number and genetic variants of C4 in 2,290 well-characterised Scandinavian patients with SLE, pSS or myositis, and 1,251 healthy controls.A prominent relationship was observed between C4A copy number and the presence of SSA/SSB autoantibodies, which was shared between the three diseases. The strongest association was detected for patients with autoantibodies against both SSA and SSB and 0 C4A copies when compared to healthy controls (OR=18.0; CI95% : 10.2-33.3), whereas a weaker association was seen for patients without SSA/SSB autoantibodies (OR=3.1; CI95% : 1.7-5.5). The copy number of C4 correlated positively with C4 plasma levels. Further, a common loss-of-function variant in C4A leading to reduced plasma C4 was more prevalent in SLE patients with a low copy number of C4A. Functionally, we showed that absence of C4A reduced the individuals' capacity to deposit C4b on immune complexes.We show that a low C4A copy number more strongly is associated with the autoantibody repertoire than with the clinically defined disease entities. These results may have implication for understanding the aetiopathogenetic mechanisms of systemic inflammatory autoimmune diseases, and for patient stratification when taking the genetic profile into account.

  • High Genetic Risk Score Is Associated with Increased Organ Damage in SLE
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Arthritis & Rheumatology. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 2326-5191 .- 2326-5205. ; 69
  • Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, autoimmune disease with a complex genetic etiology. Over 80 risk genes for SLE have been identified and some genetic variants have demonstrated association with specific disease manifestations, such as STAT4 and nephritis. The overall effect of a patient’s hereditary risk factors on disease severity has so far not been studied. We therefore assessed the relationship between high genetic risk and development of organ damage in SLE.Methods: Patients with SLE, who met at least 4 ACR criteria (n = 1012), were genotyped using a 200K Immunochip SNP Array (Illumina). A genetic risk score (GRS) was assigned to each patient based on the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which in previous studies have shown association (p<5×10-8) with SLE according to Morris, et al (Nat Genet, 2016. 48(8): p. 940-6). For 32 loci the SLE GWAS SNP was available on the ImmunoChip. For each SNP, the natural logarithm of the odds ratio (OR) for SLE susceptibility was multiplied by the number of risk alleles in each individual. The sum of all products for each patient was defined as the GRS. Information regarding organ damage according to Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics / American College of Rheumatology Damage Index (SLICC-DI), disease manifestations, antibody profile, medication, current disease activity, age at diagnosis and sex was retrieved from medical records. Statistical analyzes were performed using Statistica 13.2 (Statsoft).Results: In an ordinal regression model, with SLICC-DI (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and >4 points) as outcome and age and GRS as independent variables, an association was found between GRS and SLICC-DI (OR1.16 (1.03-1.31), p=0.015). The relationship was more pronounced for patients under 60 years of age (OR1.30 (1.11-1.52) p=7.1×10-4). Using a linear regression model, a negative relationship was observed between GRS and age at diagnosis (β = -0.13, p=1.5×10-5).When analyzing the 11 SLE criteria (ACR-82) using a logistic regression model associations were observed between GRS and nephritis (OR 1.26 (1.09-1.45), p=0.0015), the immunological criteria (OR 1.31 (1.13-1.51), p = 3.2×10-4) and arthritis (OR 0.84 (0.71-1.00), p=0.044). A high GRS was also associated with presence of anti-dsDNA (OR 1.37 (1.15-1.62), p=9.4×10-7) and low complement levels (OR 1.32 (1.03-1.68), p=0.044). No association was observed between GRS and disease activity at the time of follow-up and there was no difference in GRS between men and women with SLE.Conclusion: In patients with SLE, there is an association between a high genetic risk score and early disease onset. In addition, patients with high genetic risk scores have a higher risk of developing permanent organ damage compared to individuals with fewer risk genes. Our findings indicate that genetic profiling of patients with SLE may provide a tool for predicting severity of the disease.
