Association between serum ficolin-1 level and disease progression in primary biliary cholangitis.
Pattern recognition molecules (PRMs) in the complement system contribute to homeostasis as mediators of complement activation. The contribution of PRMs to primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is unknown. In the current study, we aimed to assess the association between PRMs and the clinical findings of...

A total of 122 PBC patients and 20 healthy controls were enrolled.

Patients with low levels of ficolin-1 (< 77 ng/mL) had a significantly increased rate of developing cirrhosis-related conditions.

Pattern recognition molecules (PRMs) in the complement system contribute to homeostasis as mediators of complement activation. The contribution of PRMs to primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is unknown. In the current study, we aimed to assess the association between PRMs and the clinical findings of PBC. A total of 122 PBC patients and 20 healthy controls were enrolled. We measured four different PRMs (mannose-binding lectin [MBL], ficolin-1, ficolin-2 and ficolin-3) using stored sera, and retrospectively analyzed the associations between PRMs and laboratory findings, histological findings, and the development of cirrhosis-related conditions. Ficolin-1 levels were significantly higher in the PBC patients than in the healthy controls (152 ng/mL vs 102 ng/mL, P = 0.034), but no significant differences were observed regarding MBL, ficolin-2, and ficolin-3 levels. Ficolin-1 was significantly correlated with alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Low ficolin-1 levels were significantly associated with the development of cirrhosis-related conditions independent for histological stage and ALP levels (hazard ratio: 0.933; 95% confidence interval: 0.875-0.994; P = 0.032). Patients with low levels of ficolin-1 (< 77 ng/mL) had a significantly increased rate of developing cirrhosis-related conditions. Low ficolin-1 levels were associated with disease progression independent of histological stage and ALP levels in patients with PBC. |
