Abstract
Objective

To establish associations between the development of lupus nephritis (LN) and the expression of antibodies against C1q (anti-C1q) and serum adiponectin as these biomarkers have been previously postulated to be associated with the presence of LN.

Methodology

A case–control study nested in a cohort was chosen. Patients with SLE with renal involvement were included. Measurement of antibodies against C1q, levels of adiponectin, and HLA expression DRB1 and DQB1 were evaluated. We searched for possible associations between the measured biomarkers and allelic HLA types found.

Results

One hundred and six patients were recruited with LN with a mean age of 35 years. Mean adiponectin levels were 16.9μg/mL, and 60% of patients presented anti-C1q positivity. HLA DRB1*0404 and DRB1*1101 are protective factors for LN (OR: .42, p=.0030 and OR: 0.49, p=.046 respectively). HLA DRB1*0701 (OR: 3.15, p=.0452) and DRB1*0802 (OR: 8.3, p=.020) are susceptibility factors for LN. There was a tendency for association between anti-C1q positivity and high levels of adiponectin with type IV LN (OR 2.3 [95% CI: 0.68–8.2] and (OR: 2.67 [95% CI: .76–9.9] respectively). There was a tendency for association between anti-C1q positivity and HLA expression DRB1*0701 (OR 2.7 [95% CI: .81–11.5]), as well as high levels of adiponectin and HLA expression DRB1*0404 (OR 3.03 [95% CI: .92–12.8]). No association was found between anti-C1q and adiponectin with the expression of HLA DRB1*1501. There was positive correlation between levels of anti-C1q and the activity index in renal biopsy.

Conclusions

In the Colombian population there is a tendency for association of anti-C1q with the expression of HLA DRB1*07; however, the expression of other HLA II genes known as risk factors for LN, was not associated with the expression of anti-C1q, adiponectin or any specific type of LN.

Resumen
Objetivo

Establecer asociaciones entre la aparición de nefritis lúpica (LN) y la expresión de biomarcadores previamente postulados como asociados con la presencia de esta enfermedad. A su vez, determinar en población colombiana si dicha expresión se relaciona con algún tipo específico de HLA II.

Metodología

Estudio de casos y controles anidados en una cohorte, pacientes con LES que cumplen los criterios diagnósticos del Colegio Americano de Reumatología y que presentan compromiso renal. Se realizó una medición de anticuerpos contra C1q y niveles de adiponectina en suero por medio de ELISA. Se evaluó expresión de HLA DRB1 y DQB1. Se buscaron las posibles asociaciones entre los biomarcadores medidos y las variables alélicas de HLA, además de las posibles correlaciones de los biomarcadores con otros anticuerpos o variables de daño renal.

Resultados

Ciento seis pacientes reclutados con LN (81% mujeres), con un promedio de edad de 35 años. Los niveles promedio de adiponectina fueron 16,9 ug/mL, el 60% de los pacientes presentaron anti-C1q positivos. Hubo tendencia a la asociación entre anti-C1q positivos y niveles elevados de adiponectina con LN tipo IV (OR 2,3 [IC 95%: 0,68-8,2] y OR: 2,67 [IC 95%: 0,76-9,9], respectivamente). Hubo tendencia a la asociación entre anti-C1q positivo y expresión de HLA DRB1*0701 (OR 2,7 [IC 95%: 0,81-11,5]), así como niveles elevados de adiponectina y expresión de HLA DRB1*0404 (OR 3,03 [IC 95%: 0,92-12,8]). No se encontró asociación entre anti-C1q y adiponectina con la expresión de HLA DRB1*1501. Hubo correlación positiva entre los niveles de anti-C1q y el índice de actividad en biopsia renal.

Conclusiones

En población colombiana, hay un tendencia a la asociación entre la presencia de anti-C1q y los niveles elevados de adiponectina con LN en sus formas proliferativas. Hay una tendencia a la asociación de anti-C1q con la expresión de HLA DRB1*07; sin embargo, la expresión de otros genes HLA II, conocidos como factores de riesgo para LN, no estuvo asociada con la expresión de anti-C1q, adiponectina o algún tipo específico de LN.
