Abstract Objectives To explore the presence of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in inflamed temporal artery biopsies (TABs) of patients with GCA. Methods Ten patients with GCA [five with limited and five with associated generalized vascular involvement, as defined by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET with CT (PET/CT)] and eight with PMR were studied. The presence, location, quantitation and decoration of NETs with IL-6, IL-1β and IL-17A were assessed in TABs at the time of disease diagnosis by tissue immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. Paired serum levels of IL-6 and IL-17A were also evaluated in all patients. Results All temporal artery biopsies from GCA, but not PMR, patients had NETs located mainly in the adventitia, adjacent to the vasa vasorum. NETs decorated with IL-6 were present in 8/10 TABs of GCA patients, of whom 5 were PET/CT(+) and 3 PET/CT(–) patients. IL-17A(+) NETs were observed in all GCA patients. IL-1β(+) NETs were not detected in any GCA patient. No relation was found between serum IL-6 and IL-17A levels and NETs containing IL-6 and/or IL-17A. Conclusions NETs bearing pro-inflammatory cytokines are present in inflamed GCA-TABs. Future studies with a larger number of patients from different centres will show whether the findings regarding neutrophils/NETs in the TAB are consistent and disclose their clinical impact.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an autoimmune/autoinflammatory disease affecting large vessels in patients over 50 years old. The disease presents as an acute inflammatory response with two phenotypes, cranial GCA and large-vessel vasculitis (LV)-GCA, involving the thoracic aorta and its branches. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) is among the imaging techniques contributing to diagnosing patients with systemic disease. However, its association with soluble inflammatory markers is still elusive. This proof-of-concept study aims to identify novel soluble serum biomarkers in PET/CT-positive patients with LV-GCA and associate them with active (0 months) and inactive disease (6 months following treatment), in sequential samples. The most-diseased-segment target-to-background ratio (TBRMDS) was calculated for 13 LV-GCA patients, while 14 cranial GCA and 14 Polymyalgia Rheumatica patients with negative initial PET/CT scans served as disease controls. Serum macrophage-related cytokines were evaluated by cytometric bead array (CBA). Finally, previously published NMR/metabolomics data acquired from the same blood sampling were analyzed along with PET/CT findings. TBRMDS was significantly increased in active versus inactive disease (3.32 vs. 2.65, p = 0.006). The analysis identified nine serum metabolites as more sensitive to change from the active to inactive state. Among them, choline levels were exclusively altered in the LV-GCA group but not in the disease controls. Cytokine levels were not associated with PET/CT activity. Combining CRP, ESR, and TBRMDS with choline levels, a composite index was generated to distinguish active and inactive LV-GCA (20.4 vs. 11.62, p = 0.001). These preliminary results could pave the way for more extensive studies integrating serum metabolomic parameters with PET/CT imaging data to extract sensitive composite disease indexes useful for everyday clinical practice.
