Abstract: Objective  To investigate the role of  ubiquitinspecific proteases 46 (Usp46) in the blood of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and healthy population. Methods  Real  time polymerase chain reaction analysis was used to determine the Usp46 expression in the blood of 73 patients with SLE and 75 healthy controls.Results  The mRNA expression level of Usp46 was significantly increased， about 4.22（1.30，17.02）  folds， in samples from SLE patients compared to healthy population (Z=-6.98，P＜0.01). In addition， there was significantly positive correlation between the expression level of Usp46 and ESR， IgG， IgM and ALT (P＜0.05). Conclusion  The mRNA expression level of Usp46 was significantly higher in SLE patients than in healthy population， which indicates that Usp46 may participate in the development of SLE process.
