Title: Rheumatoid Arthritis-Clinical Aspects III: Outcome Measures, Socioeconomy, Screening, Biomarkers in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Session Type: Abstract Submissions (ACR)

Background/Purpose: Metabolomics is the study of unique chemical fingerprints of specific cellular processes. Metabolite profiling is recently applied in identifying biomarkers in medical research including rheumatologic diseases. The aim of this study is to assess the metabolite profiling of synovial fluid in patients with different forms of inflammatory arthritis and to identify putative biomarker for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to the other inflammatory arthritis. Methods: Synovial fluid samples were obtained from patients with RA (n = 13, mean age 44.2 ± 10.7 yr), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) (n = 7, mean age 35.4 ± 10.7 yr), Behcet’s disease (BD) (n = 5, mean age 41.6 ± 12.5 yr) and gout (n = 13, mean age 45.9 ± 7.9 yr). To identify putative biomarkers for RA, the synovial fluid samples were divided into two groups; RA versus non-RA (NRA) which included AS, BD and gout. The metabolites of synovial fluid were analyzed using gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC/TOF MS). The multivariate statistical analyses by orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were conducted for the comparison between two groups. The potential biomarkers in RA patients were identified and evaluated by variable importance for projection (VIP) values, nonparametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test and one-way ANOVA test. Chemometric model validation was finally carried out using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the ROC curve (AUC). Results: A total of 119 metabolites were identified from 38 samples. The metabolite profiling between RA and NRA were clearly discriminated by OPLS-DA (Figure 1). Candidates of biomarkers in RA were determined by VIP values extracted from OPLS-DA and 41 metabolites were selected by VIP scores of greater than 1.0, of which 29 metabolites were elevated in RA and 12 metabolites in NRA. After eliminating variables with no significant difference using Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test and one-way ANOVA test, 23 of 41 metabolites were selected as putative biomarkers for RA compared to NRA. Fifteen metabolites were higher level in RA (succinic acid, octadecanol, asparagines, terephtalic acid, salicylaldehyde, glutamine, citrulline, tyrosine, uracil, lysine, phenylalanine, ribitol, tryptophan, xylose and pyrophosphate) and 8 metabolites in NRA (isopalmitic acid, glycerol, myristic acid, palmitoleic acid, hydroxylamine, ethanolamine, alanine and serine). These metabolites were validated by AUC, all of which had AUC > 0.8. ROC curve analysis for the power of discrimination of RA from NRA showed a sensitivity of 69.2% and a specificity of 84.0%. Conclusion: Our study suggests that the synovial fluid metabolomic profiling can be a novel approach in differentiating RA from AS, BD and gout. A set of validated metabolites could be a putative biomarker in synovial fluid of RA patients.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
