The study aimed to explore changes in immune cells and their relationship with clinical manifestations in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Results suggested that basophil cell proportions may serve as a biomarker for lupus nephritis.
Objective: To establish a convenient and simple flow cytometry immunophenotyping panel to explore immune cellular alterations and potential cellular biomarkers in systemic lupus erythematosus. Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional, case-control study including 60 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and 20 sex- and age-matched healthy controls. A 14-color immunophenotyping panel was applied to detect proportions of circulating immune mononuclear cells, and comparisons between patients and healthy controls, and subgroups of patients, were performed. Correlations between cellular proportions and other parameters were investigated. Results: After multivariate analysis, significantly decreased proportions of CD4(-)CD8(-) T cells, natural killer cells and innate lymphoid cells were observed in patients compared with healthy controls. The proportions of basophils were decreased significantly in patients with lupus nephritis (LN) compared with those in patients without LN. Conclusion: In the present study, we found that basophil proportions may be a biomarker of LN. Lay abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic, multisystem, autoimmune disorder that involves various abnormalities of immune cells and thus presents in a striking variety of ways. This study aimed to establish a biomarker panel that would enable the exploration of changes in immune cells and the relationships between immune cell subsets and clinical manifestations in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Our results showed that basophil cell proportions may be a biomarker of use in lupus nephritis.
