目的

探讨脂质运载蛋白2(LCN2)在矮小症儿童血清中的水平以及应用重组人生长激素(rhGH)治疗后血清LCN2、胰岛素样生长因子1(IGF-1)的变化。

方法

选择2020 年1 月至2023年10 月就诊于济宁医学院附属医院内分泌遗传代谢科的440 例矮小症患者,根据病因不同将其分为生长激素缺乏症(GHD)组(n=334)和特发性矮小症(ISS)组(n=106),其中GHD 组根据生长激素峰值不同进一步分为完全性GHD(n=161)和部分性GHD(n=173)。 收集3 组患者在应用rhGH 治疗前的临床特征及血清学参数,分析LCN2 在区分完全性GHD、部分GHD、ISS 患者中的诊断效能。 对其中2023 年1~10 月就诊的82 例患者随访治疗6 个月以及12 个月,观察血清LCN2、IGF-1 等指标的变化情况及临床治疗效果;并对治疗前后不同时期血清LCN2 水平与临床特征及血清学参数进行相关性分析。

结果

治疗前ISS 组血清LCN2 水平[337.69(276.35,449.28)μg/L]显著高于完全性GHD组[238.81(188.70,350.62)μg/L]和部分性GHD 组[278.95(211.45,393.29)μg/L],差异具有统计学意义(H=10.464,P<0.01)。 rhGH 治疗12 个月后,3 组患儿身高标准差积分(SDS)均较治疗前、治疗6 个月后呈明显增长趋势(H=66.167,41.040,19.142;均P<0.01)。 3 组患者血清LCN2 的表达水平均随着治疗时间的延长呈显著下降趋势(H=60.500,44.720,38.095),IGF-1 水平(H=55.056,40.106,35.524)、IGF-1 SDS(H=43.167,38.480,33.429)均较治疗前逐渐增加,均差异具有统计学意义(均P<0.01)。 完全性GHD、部分GHD、ISS 患者治疗前、治疗6 个月时LCN2 与IGF-1 呈明显负相关(r=-0.219,-0.461,-0.443,-0.575,-0.443,-0.457;均P<0.05)。 LCN2 在区分ISS 与完全性GHD 的受试者操作特征(ROC)曲线下面积(AUC)为0.709,特异度为63.98%,敏感度为75.47%;区分ISS 与部分性GHD 的ROC 曲线AUC 为0.628,特异度为38.73%,敏感度为85.85%;区分完全性与部分性GHD 的ROC 曲线AUC 为0.588,特异度为48.45%,敏感度为69.36%。

结论

GHD 和ISS儿童在应用rhGH 治疗后临床疗效确切,血清LCN2 水平可作为身材矮小儿童诊断及治疗后的一项疗效监测与评估的指标。

Objective

To study the expression of serum lipocalin-2 (LCN2) in children with short stature and the application of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in children with short stature, as well as the changes of LCN2 and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) serum level after rhGH treatment.

Methods

A total of 440 patients with short stature admitted to the Department of Endocrinology, Genetics andMetabolism of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2020 to October 2023 were analyzed. Patients were divided into growth hormone deficiency (GHD) group (n=334) and idiopathic short stature (ISS) group (n=106). GHD group was further divided into complete GHD group (n=161)and partial GHD group (n=173) according to the peak value of growth hormone. The clinical characteristics and serological parameters of the three groups before rhGH treatment were collected. The diagnostic efficacy of LCN2 in differentiating patients with complete GHD, partial GHD and ISS was analyzed. A subgroup of 82 patients (treated January-October 2023) underwent 6 month and 12 month follow-up to monitor therapeutic responses and changes of indicators (LCN2 and IGF-1 serum levels). The correlation between LCN2 serum levels and clinical features and serological parameters at different periods before and after treatment was analyzed.

Results

Before treatment, the LCN2 serum levels in the ISS group [337.69(276.35, 449.28)μg/L]were significantly higher than those in the complete GHD group [238.81(188.70, 350.62)μg/L] and the partial GHD group [278.95(211.45, 393.29)μg/L], with the differences being statistically significant(H=10.464, P<0.01). After 12 months of rhGH treatment, the height standard deviation score (SDS) of children in all three groups showed a significant upward trend compared to baseline and six months treatment(H=66.167, 41.040, 19.142, all P<0.01). The expression level of LCN2 decreased significantly with the extension of treatment time (H=60.500, 44.720, 38.095), while IGF-1 level (H=55.056, 40.106,35.524) and IGF-1 SDS (H=43.167, 38.480, 33.429) gradually increased compared with those before treatment, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). LCN2 and IGF-1 levels showed a significant negative correlation in patients with complete GHD, partial GHD, and ISS both before treatment and at 6 months of treatment (r=-0.219, -0.461, -0.443, -0.575, -0.443, -0.457, all P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of LCN2 in distinguishing ISS children from complete GHD was 0.709, with a specificity of 63.98% and a sensitivity of 75.47%. The AUC of LCN2 in distinguishing ISS children from partial GHD was 0.628, with a specificity 38.73% and a sensitivity of 85.85%. The AUC for distinguishing complete GHD from partial GHD was 0.588, with a specificity of 48.45% and a sensitivity of 69.36%.

Conclusions

rhGH treatment is effective in children with GHD and ISS. The serum level of LCN2 can be used as an indicator for the diagnosis and treatment of children with short stature.
