The correlation analysis was performed between the SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) and the expression of HSP90 and IL-6. The results show.ed that there was increased expression of HSP90 in the SLE patients. The active SLE group exhibited higher HSP90 levels (0.82±0.10) than the inactive SLE group (0.54±0.09) (P〈0.01). The expression of HSP90 in normal control group (0.37±0.11) showed significant statistical difference as compared to both the inactive and active SLE groups (P〈0.01, P〈0.01, respectively). The plasma level of IL-6 exhibited a significant increase in both the inactive and active SLE groups (28.99±1.74 pg/mL, 44.58±9.15 pg/mL, respectively) compared with normal control group (P〈0.01, P〈0.01, respectively). The expression of HSP90 and IL-6 in SLE patients showed significant positive correlation with SLEDAI scoring (r=0.80, P〈0.01: r= 0.74, P〈0.01, respectively). In addition, there was a positive correlation between the level of IL-6 and HSP90 in SLE patients (r= 0.86, P〈0.01). The increased expression of molecular chaperone HSP90 and IL-6 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE by regulating autoimmunity.展开更多
