PG - 1056121 LID - 10.3389/fmolb.2022.1056121 [doi] LID - 1056121 AB - Introduction: Early diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) constitutes a challenge for the clinicians. Pulmonary vasculopathy is relevant in the development of interstitial lung disease. Accordingly, we aimed to explore the role of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), key molecules in the vasculopathy, as potential biomarkers of pulmonary fibrosis in RA-ILD(+). Methods: We included 21 RA-ILD(+) patients and two comparative groups: 25 RA-ILD(-) patients and 21 idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients. Serum levels of the molecules were determined by ELISA, and mRNA expression was quantified by qPCR. Results: VCAM-1, MCP-1 and ADMA serum levels were increased in RA-ILD(+) patients in relation to RA-ILD(-) and IPF patients. Additionally, RA-ILD(+) patients exhibited increased CCL2 (gene encoding MCP-1) and decreased PRMT1 (gene related to ADMA synthesis) mRNA expression in relation to RA-ILD(-) patients. A lower expression of VCAM1, CCL2, and PRMT1 was observed in RA-ILD(+) patients when compared with those with IPF. Furthermore, MCP-1 serum levels and PRMT1 mRNA expression were positively correlated with RA duration, and ADMA serum levels were positively associated with C-reactive protein in RA-ILD(+) patients. Conclusion: Our study suggests that VCAM-1, MCP-1 and ADMA could be considered as useful biomarkers to identify ILD in RA patients, as well as to discriminate RA-ILD(+) from IPF, contributing to the early diagnosis of RA-ILD(+).
