| Shrnutí: | Background
Lupus nephritis (LN) represents a major complication in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The objective of this study was to evaluate the
TRIM8
gene and its associated non-coding RNAs (
lnc-SSBP2-1:1
and
hsa-miR-126-5p
) as potential non-invasive biomarkers for LN activity.
Methods
Bioinformatics analyses were initially employed to identify candidate mRNA and associated non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) implicated in LN. Expression profiles of
TRIM8lnc-SSBP2-1:1
and
hsa-miR-126-5p
were validated in blood samples from 40 active LN, 30 inactive LN patients, and 20 healthy individuals via real-time PCR.
Results
TRIM8
mRNA and
lnc-SSBP2-1:1
lncRNA levels were notably upregulated in active LN (
p
< 0.001), while
hsa-miR-126-5p
was reduced (
p
< 0.001). SLEDAI-2K scores correlated positively with
TRIM8
mRNA and
lnc-SSBP2-1:1
, and negatively with
hsa-miR-126-5p
.
Conclusions
This study highlights
TRIM8
-associated ncRNA regulatory network as promising biomarkers in LN activωity, with potential clinical impact.
Graphical abstract
Highlights
TRIM8
and
lnc-SSBP2-1:1
are upregulated,
hsa-miR-126-5p
is downregulated in active LN
Biomarkers strongly correlated with SLEDAI-2K disease activity scores
High diagnostic accuracy (AUCs > 0.93) in distinguishing active vs inactive LN
Potential non-invasive tool to complement current LN monitoring |
