Outline of Final Research Achievements

Biomarker candidates were validated to establish a marker to discriminate the severity of Kawasaki disease (KD). The concentration of pentraxin 3, Presepsin, NT-proBNP, sLOX-1, MMP-9 was measured. The power of predictivity was compared by IVIG unresponsiveness or coronary artery sequelae. Plasma PTX3 level was significantly higher in IVIG non-responders than in IVIG responders (46±7.5 vs. 17±1.5 ng/ml, p< 0.001). The higher PTX3 levels he exhibited means an increased presence of coronary artery lesion (CAL) formation compared to cases without CAL (85±8.4 vs. 22±2.2 ng/ml, p< 0.0001) . When the cutoff value was set at 68.85 ng/ml of PTX3, specificity 98.21, sensitivity 100, and its likelihood ratio was 56 in coronary artery sequelae. This study clearly showed that serum levels of PTX3, activation marker of the innate immune system. The plasma PTX3 levels could be a useful biomarker in the clinical management of KD, especially for predicting responsiveness to IVIG and CAL formation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

川崎病初期のペントラキシン 3 (PTX3) が25.6 ng/ml以上では、IVIG不応例となり、86.05 ng/ml以上では冠動脈瘤形成が必発であり、これ未満の症例では冠動脈瘤の発生がないことを明らかにした。PTX3が急性期冠動脈病変の程度も予測し、川崎病の重症度の層別化に有効であることが確認された。病初期のPTX3の高値は、10日以前の急性期病変の程度にも関連していた。これらの結果を元に、川崎病の発症病態として自然免疫系 PAMPsによる自然免疫の異常な活性化が大きな役割として 関与していると考えられた。川崎病でのNETs成分とPTX3の結合体の特定が、病因解明につながる可能性がある。
