Article Abstract
Background: Periostin is being investigated as a potential biomarker for T-helper-2 (Th2)-driven asthma or eosinophilic inflammation and may help to identify patients more likely to benefit from interleukin-13-targeted treatments. We report the development and analytic performance of the investigational use only ARCHITECT Periostin Immunoassay, a new automated assay developed to detect serum periostin concentrations.
Methods: We assessed assay performance in terms of precision, sensitivity, linearity, interference from classical immunoassay interferents and representatives of common asthma medications, specimen handling, and isoform reactivity. The assay was also used to assess the biological variability of serum periostin concentrations in samples from healthy volunteers and from subjects with uncontrolled asthma (the intended use population).
Results: The percentage CVs for 5-day total precision, assessed using two instruments, was <6% across 2 controls and one serum-based panel. Limit of quantitation was 4ng/mL (dilution adjusted concentration), suiting the needs for this application. Dilution analysis yielded linear results and no endogenous sample or drug interferences were observed. All known periostin isoforms expressed in the mature human lung were detected by the assay.
Conclusion: Our studies provide support that the ARCHITECT Periostin Immunoassay is a reliable and robust test for measuring serum periostin concentrations.

Triple positivity for autoantibodies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is associated with a severe course of the disease but not with bone turnover markers.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a prevalent autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic joint inflammation and progressive bone erosion. Traditional autoantibodies, such as anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPAs) and rheumatoid factor (RF), are established markers associated with disease severity. Recent studies have identified anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies as potential indicators of disease progression.

Objective: This study investigates local and systemic immune-related proteins in tape strips and serum of paediatric atopic dermatitis (AD) patients treated with dupilumab, and explores their correlation with clinical severity.
Methods: Twenty paediatric AD patients (< 18 years) starting dupilumab treatment were included. Serum samples and tape strips from lesional and non-lesional skin were collected at baseline, 4 and 16 weeks of treatment.

Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD), represented by idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), shows poor prognosis due to progressive fibrosis. Early therapeutic intervention is required to enhance the efficacy of antifibrotic drugs, highlighting the importance of early detection of ILD progression. Although candidate biomarkers for predicting ILD progression have been recently reported through omics analyses, clinically measurable biomarkers remain unestablished.

Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a common sequela to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in humans and dogs. Identification of conserved targets between species may hasten biomarker identification and therapeutic development. To identify differentially regulated synovial fluid (SF) proteins in ACL injury, SF samples were collected from knees with ACL injury or control knees (n = 8 per species) in human and dog patients.

Objective: There is growing evidence suggesting a relationship between periostin levels, inflammation, and ovarian dysfunction. In this prospective case-control study, we aimed to investigate serum periostin levels and their relationship with metabolic parameters in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Methods: We conducted a prospective case-control study involving 45 polycystic ovary syndrome patients and 45 control subjects, matched in a 1:1 ratio.
