To evaluate the predictive values for disease progression of various antibodies against citrullinated peptide proteins (ACPA) and their relation to PTPN22 1858C/T polymorphism and HLA-DRB1 alleles in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The ACPA, e.g., antibodies against mutated citrullinated vimentin (MCV), cyclic citrullinated peptides (CCP) type 2 and 3 (both of IgG isotype) and 3.1 (of both IgG and IgA isotypes), were analyzed at baseline in patients with early RA (n = 210) and in population controls (n = 102) using an enzyme immunoassay. A receiver-operating characteristic curve was constructed for each antibody. Disease activity [swollen and tender joints, visual analog scale for global health, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)] was evaluated at baseline and regularly for 24 months. Radiographs of hands and feet were graded using the Larsen score.
Patients with anti-MCV antibodies had significantly less reduction in Disease Activity Score (DAS28) over time (p < 0.01), and significantly increased area under the curve (AUC) for DAS28 (p < 0.05), ESR (p < 0.01), C-reactive protein (p < 0.01), and swollen joint count (p = 0.057) compared to those without. Corresponding differences were not found in patients with anti-CCP2, CCP3, and CCP3.1 antibodies. Radiological progression (p < 0.0001-0.01) and radiological outcome (p < 0.0001-0.01) at 24 months were significantly predicted by all ACPA after baseline adjustments. PTPN22 T variant and HLA-DRB1 alleles were not related to radiological progression or inflammatory activity over time.
Anti-MCV antibodies are associated with a more severe RA disease, as measured by DAS28, ESR, and swollen joint count over time, compared with anti-CCP2, CCP3, and CCP3.1 antibodies. Radiological progression was predicted equally by all 4 autoantibodies.
评估各种抗瓜氨酸化肽蛋白(ACPA)抗体对早期类风湿关节炎(RA)疾病进展的预测价值及其与蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶非受体型22(PTPN22)1858C/T多态性和人类白细胞抗原DRB1(HLA - DRB1)等位基因的关系。
采用酶免疫分析法,在早期RA患者(n = 210)和人群对照(n = 102)的基线水平分析ACPA,例如抗突变型瓜氨酸波形蛋白(MCV)抗体、2型和3型环状瓜氨酸肽(CCP,均为IgG同种型)以及3.1型(IgG和IgA同种型均有)抗体。为每种抗体构建受试者工作特征曲线。在基线水平以及定期随访24个月时评估疾病活动度[肿胀和压痛关节数、整体健康视觉模拟评分以及红细胞沉降率(ESR)]。使用 Larsen 评分对手和足的X线片进行分级。
与未检测到抗MCV抗体的患者相比,检测到抗MCV抗体的患者随时间推移疾病活动评分(DAS28)降低幅度显著更小(p < 0.01),且DAS28、ESR(p < 0.01)、C反应蛋白(p < 0.01)和肿胀关节计数(p = 0.057)的曲线下面积(AUC)显著增加。在检测到抗CCP2、CCP3和CCP3.1抗体的患者中未发现相应差异。在基线调整后,所有ACPA均能显著预测24个月时的放射学进展(p < 0.0001 - 0.01)和放射学结局(p < 0.0001 - 0.01)。PTPN22 T变异体和HLA - DRB1等位基因与随时间的放射学进展或炎症活动无关。
与抗CCP2、CCP3和CCP第3.1抗体相比,通过随时间的DAS28、ESR和肿胀关节计数衡量,抗MCV抗体与更严重的RA疾病相关。所有4种自身抗体对放射学进展的预测能力相同。
