The role of extracellular histones in systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the effects of extracellular histones released by activated neutrophils on systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SoJIA), and to study the change of serum histone level between the active and remissive stage of SoJIA, then to clarify the role of serum histone in the pathogenesis of SoJIA.

Methods

Twenty-six patients with SoJIA were recruited, and clinical informations were collected, and the serum histone was detected by ELISA. While neutrophils from normal children were incubated with the serum from the patients with SoJIA, also including incubated with FeCL3 and histone, the extracellular histone was detected, respectively; heparin was added to the above-mentioned groups to observe the changes of extracellular histone levels.
