"ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Pada artritis reumatoid diketahui terjadi kehilangan masa tulang, baik secara lokal maupun sistemik (osteoporosis). Inflamasi sistemik pada AR menyebabkan kehilangan massa tulang melalui gangguan homeostasis dimana terjadi resorpsi tulang yang lebih besar dibanding formasi tulang. Peran IL-17 sebagai sitokin proinflamasi diketahui dapat menstimulasi terjadinya osteoklastogenesis dan menghambat osteoblastogenesis melalui pembentukan antagonis jalur Wingless (Wnt) Catenin signalling yaitu DKK-1, SFRP dan sklerostin pada hewan coba dan secara lokal pada sinovium. Namun saat ini belum ada penelitian yang menilai hubungan sitokin proinflamsi IL-17 dengan formasi dan resorpsi tulang secara sistemik pada pasien artritis reumatoid.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai hubungan IL-17 terhadap osteoblastogenesis dengan hambatan jalur Wnt melalui DKK-1, SFRP-1 dan sklerostin dan hubungan IL-17 dengan CTX sebagai penanda resorpsi oleh osteoklas dan P1NP sebagai penanda formasi oleh osteoblas.Metode: Studi potong lintang ini melibatkan 38 perempuan AR premenopause. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara konsekutif. Pemeriksaan IL-17, DKK-1, SFRP-1, sklerostin, CTX dan P1NP dilakukan dengan metode ELISA.Hasil: Pada penelitian ini didapatkan rerata kadar serum IL-17 yaitu 10,61 ± 0,68 pg/ml, rerata kadar DKK-1 4027,29 ± 1516,80 pg/ml, rerata kadar SFRP-1 9,28 ± 3,17 ng/ml, median kadar sklerostin 101,72 (38,36-255,18) pg/ml. Penanda resopsi serum CTX meningkat dengan rerata 2,74 ± 1,37 ng/ml dan penanda formasi serum P1NP menurun dengan median 34,04 (3,46-220,61). Korelasi IL-17 dengan DKK-1 (r=0,142; p=0,396), IL-17 dengan SFRP-1 (r=0,169; p=0,309), IL-17 dengan sklerostin (r=0,061; p=0,718), IL-17 dengan CTX (r=-0,252; p=0,128) dan IL-17 dengan P1NP (r=0,116; p=0,487).Kesimpulan: Meskipun terdapat penurunan formasi tulang dan peningkatan resropsi tulang, pada penelitian ini tidak terdapat korelasi yang bermakna antara kadar serum IL-17 dengan penghambat jalur Wnt (DKK-1, SFRP-1 dan sklerostin) dan tidak terdapat korelasi yang bermakna antara kadar serum IL-17 dengan penanda turnover tulang (CTX dan P1NP) pada pasien perempuan premenopause dengan artritis reumatoid

ABSTRACTBackground: Rheumatoid arthritis is known to have a loss of bone mass, both locally and systemically (osteoporosis). Systemic inflammation in AR causes bone mass loss through interference of homeostasis where bone resorption is greater than bone formation. The role of IL-17 as a proinflammatory cytokine is known to stimulate osteoclastogenesis and inhibit osteoblastogenesis through Wingless (Wnt) pathway antagonists Catenin signalling are DKK-1, SFRP and sclerostin in experimental animals and locally in the synovium. However, there are currently no studies that assess the association of proinflammatory cytokines IL-17 with systemic bone formation and resorption in rheumatoid arthritis patientsObjective: This study aims to assess the relationship of IL-17 to osteoblastogenesis with inhibitor Wnt signalling through DKK-1, SFRP-1 and sclerostin and the association of IL-17 with CTX as a marker of resorption by osteoclasts and P1NP as a marker of formation by osteoblastsMethods: This cross-sectional study involves 38 premenopausal women with AR. Sampling is done consecutively. IL-17, DKK-1, SFRP-1, sclerostin, CTX and P1NP measurement was done using ELISAResults: In this study the mean serum IL-17 level was 10.61 ± 0.68 pg/ml, mean serum levels of DKK-1 4027.29 ± 1516.80 pg / ml, mean serum levels of SFRP-1 9.28 ± 3,17 ng / ml, median sclerostin serum level 101.72 (38.36-255.18) pg / ml. Markers of CTX resorption increased with a mean of 2.74 ± 1.37 ng / ml and markers of serum P1NP formation decreased with a median of 34.04 (3.46-220.61) pg/ml. IL-17 correlation with DKK-1 (r = 0.142; p = 0.396), IL-17 with SFRP-1 (r = 0.169; p = 0.309), IL-17 with sclerostin (r = 0.061; p = 0.718), IL-17 with CTX (r = -0.252; p = 0.128) and IL-17 with P1NP (r = 0.116; p = 0.487).Conclusions: Although there was a decrease in bone formation and increased bone resorption, there was no significant correlation between serum IL-17 levels with Wnt signalling (DKK-1, SFRP-1 and sclerostin) inhibitors and there was no significant correlation between serum IL- 17 with a bone turnover marker (CTX and P1NP) in premenopause AR woman."

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is known to have a loss of bone mass, both locally and systemically. TNF-a is the main inflammatory cytokine that can directly increase bone resorption. However, its role in bone formation is still unknown. This study will assess the correlation of TNF-a with the process of bone formation evaluated with P1NP, mainly related to the SFRP-1 pathway which is a natural inhibitor of osteoblasts. However, there are currently no studies that assess the correlation of inflammatory cytokines TNF-a, SFRP-1, with bone turnover marker (CTX and P1NP) in rheumatoid arthritis patients

Objective: This study aims to examine bone turnover in RA patients by analyzing the correlation between TNF-a with SFRP-1 and CTX and P1NP, and correlation SFRP-1 with P1NP

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in 38 subjects of premenopausal women with RA. The Subjects were collected with consecutive sampling technique in rheumatology outpatient clinic in Rumah SakitCipto Mangunkusumo, Jakarta. Measurement of serum TNF-a, SFRP-1, CTX, and P1NP levels were done using ELISA technique.

Results: In this study, the median duration of RA is 5 years. 60.6% of the patients were in remission and low activity disease. The median value of TNF-a was 10.6 pg/mL, the mean value of SFRP-1 was 9.29 ng/mL, the mean value of CTX was 2.74 ng/mL, and mean value of P1NP was 34 pg/mL. SFRP-1 and CTX levels were increased while P1NP level was relatively lower compared to the normal population value in previous studies. There was a weak positive correlation between TNF-a and P1NP(r=0.363, p=0.026), also SFRP-1 and P1NP(r=0.341; p=0.036),while the other variables showed no significant correlation.

Conclusions: This study demonstrated weak positive correlation between TNF-a and P1NP, and weak positive correlation between SFRP-1 and P1NP. However high value of CTX and low value of P1NP showed that a high resorption response cannot be balanced with bone formation activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in premenopausal woman."

No significant correlation was found between serum anti-CCP concentration with disease activity. Strong correlation was found between serum and synovial fluid anti-CCP concentration."

"Latar Belakang: Aktivitas penyakit Artritis Reumatoid (AR) merupakan ekspresi dari kaskade inflamasi. Inflamasi jaringan sinovium yang disertai pembentukan pannus memerlukan asupan nutrisi dan oksigen melalui angiogenesis. Peningkatan penanda angiogenik menunjukkan inflamasi sendi yang progresif dan peningkatan aktivitas penyakit. Salah satu faktor pertumbuhan yang memiliki peran pada angiogenesis adalah nerve growth factor (NGF). Beberapa penelitian terdahulu mendapatkan kadar NGF yang meningkat baik pada serum maupun pada cairan sinovium pasien AR. Nerve growth factor (NGF) dapat menginduksi faktor-faktor pro-angiogenik dan faktor pertumbuhan lain yang berperan pada AR. Saat ini belum ada penelitian yang menghubungkan kadar serum NGF terhadap aktivitas penyakit AR. Tujuan: Mengetahui korelasi antara kadar NGF dengan aktivitas penyakit (yang dinilai dengan DAS28 LED dan DAS28 CRP) pada pasien AR di Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo. Metode: Penelitian potong lintang yang mengevaluasi kadar NGF menggunakan two site immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) pada 50 pasien (47 orang perempuan dan 3 orang laki-laki) AR di poliklinik Reumatologi Rumah Sakit Cipto Mangunkusumo pada Oktober sampai Desember 2015. Aktivitas penyakit AR pada penelitian ini dinilai menggunakan skor DAS28 LED dan DAS28 CRP melalui kalkulator yang diakses dari internet pada http://www.das-score.nl/. Analisis statistik bivariat digunakan untuk mendapatkan korelasi antara NGF dengan aktivitas penyakit AR. Hasil: Rerata usia subjek penelitian ini adalah 43,44 tahun. Median kadar serum NGF adalah 4,33 pg/mL (2,35-20,83). Hasil analisis memperlihatkan korelasi antara kadar serum NGF dengan skor DAS28 LED (r = +0,427; p = 0,002) dan DAS28 CRP (r =+0.407; p = 0,003). Kesimpulan: Terdapat korelasi positif sedang antara kadar serum NGF dengan aktivitas penyakit AR.

Background: Disease activity of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an expression of the inflammatory cascade. Disease activity of a given joint is correlated with the synovial vascularization. Synovial tissue inflammation accompanied by pannus formation requires intake of nutrients and oxygen through angiogenesis. Angiogenesis plays an integral part of the development of the pannus formation. Increased angiogenic markers shows a progressive increase of joint inflammation and disease activity. One of the contributing factors to angiogenesis is the nerve growth factor (NGF). Several previous studies show increased NGF concentrations in both the serum and synovial fluid of RA. Nerve growth factor can induce pro-angiogenic factors and other growth factors contribute in RA. Currently, there has not been any studies yet that correlates the NGF serum concentration with RA disease activity.

Objective: To determine the correlation between the serum concentration of NGF and disease activity of RA patients at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (using DAS28 ESR and DAS28 CRP score).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was used. Recruited were 50 RA patients (47 women and 3 men) of outpatient clinic of Rheumatology at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital from October to December 2015. Concentrations of NGF were evaluated with a two site immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA). Disease activity in this study was assessed using DAS28 ESR and DAS28 CRP score using a calculator accessible from the internet on http://www.das-score.nl/. The correlation between NGF with disease activity was analyzed by bivariate analysis.

Results: The mean age of the study subjects was 43.44 years. Median serum NGF was 4.33 pg / mL (2.35 to 20.83). The results shows correlation between serum NGF with DAS28 ESR (r = +0.427; p = 0.002) and DAS28 CRP (r = + 0407; p = 0.003).

Conclusion: Significant positive correlation between serum concentration of NGF with diesease activity in patient with AR was found."
