Polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis has a distinct co-inhibitor receptor profile

Rheumatology (Oxford)Published Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

Polyarticular JIA patients had a different co-IR profile, having more CTLA-4, PD-1 and 4-1BB in their plasma than the other subtypes of JIA.

Study context

Population
JIA patients sampled at onset or during flare, and healthy controls
Participants
67 / 12 / 17 / 11 / 10
Comparison
Polyarticular JIA vs other JIA subtypes and healthy controls
  • Oligoarticular JIAn = 67
  • Polyarticular JIAn = 12
  • Enthesitis-related arthritisn = 17
  • Systemic JIAn = 11
  • Healthy controlsn = 10reference
Outcome
Plasma soluble co-IR levels

Main finding
