Abstract

Aim

The clinical symptoms and laboratory markers of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) can be very similar, so making a differential diagnosis between these two diseases is often difficult. Serological parameters to be used in differential diagnosis can guide the clinician. This study aimed to investigate the usability of 14-3-3η (eta) protein as a biomarker in the differential diagnosis of PsA and RA, and the relationships between eta protein and disease activity scores and joint erosions in PsA and RA.

Methods

54 PsA patients, 53 RA patients, and 56 healthy individuals were included in this study. The ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImunoSorbent Assay) kit was used as a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique to detect human eta protein levels. Receiver-operating Characteristic (ROC) curves analysis was used to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the eta protein.

Results

Eta protein levels were found to be significantly higher in the RA group than in the PsA [B: -0.341, OR (95% CI): 0.711 (0.556-0.909), p: 0.007] and control [B: -0.225, OR (95% CI): 0.798 (0.641-0.995), p: 0.045] groups. Eta protein median values were significantly higher in patients with joint erosion than in those without [β= 0.151, OR (95% CI): 1.163 (1.003-1.349), p: 0.046].

Conclusion

Eta protein levels are higher in the serum of RA patients than PsA and are associated with joint erosion. Eta protein may be a potential biomarker in the differential diagnosis of RA and PsA. It may represent a possible therapeutic step in the pathophysiological pathways in the development of joint erosion.
