ABSTRACT: Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) is a special subtype of interstitial lung disease that has received worldwide attention. Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) and surfactant protein-A (SP-A) can be used as an important biomarker of interstitial lung disease, but its exact relationship with IPAF is poorly understood.A total of 65 IPAF patients were included in the study and were followed up for 52 weeks. The KL-6 and SP-A were evaluated by chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay. The above indicators were tested at 2 time points, baseline (the first admission of patients) and 52 weeks. We also collected the indicators of antinuclear antibodies and rheumatoid factor. Based on high-resolution computed tomography evaluations, patients were divided into: aggravation, stable, and improvement group. At same time, 30 age-matched normal people as normal control were recruited, the same information was collected. Correlations among the groups were compared and analyzed.The KL-6 and SP-A level in IPAF patients were significantly higher than normal controls (fold increase = 11.35 and 1.39, both P < .001) and differed significantly at baseline and 52 weeks in IPAF (difference ratio = 37.7% and 21.3%, P < .05, both). There were significant differences at baseline and 52 weeks (r values of aggravation, improvement, and stable groups for KL-6 were 0.705, 0.770, and 0.344, P = .001, .001, and .163, and for SP-A the r value were 0.672, 0.375, and 0.316, P = .001, .126, and .152). In aggravation group, KL-6 and SP-A were correlated with CT scores (both P < .05). Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and forced vital capacity (FVC), % predicted showed a progressive downward trend, with a significant difference at baseline and 52 weeks in IPAF patients (difference ratio = 23.8% and 20.6%, both P < .05). There was a significant correlation between KL-6 and FVC % predicted and DLCO (both P < .05), SP-A showed negatively correlated with DLCO, but not significantly correlated with FVC % predicted (P < .05 and .47).This study demonstrated that KL-6 and SP-A can reflect disease progression, and both 2 play a key role at reflection of lung epithelial cell injury and fibrosis degree in IPAF.
