Our goal was to evaluate the associations of antibodies (Abs) to glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI) with Abs to cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) and HLA-DRB1 genotypes in Japanese patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
One hundred and eight patients with early RA (85 female, 23 male) who visited our clinic within 1 year of symptom onset were examined for anti-GPI and anti-CCP Ab levels, and HLA-DRB1 genotype. Anti-GPI and anti-CCP Ab levels, and HLA-DRB1 genotypes were also determined in 63 controls and 265 healthy controls, respectively.
Of the 108 patients with early RA and the 63 controls, 20 (18.5%) and 3 (4.8%) were anti-GPI Ab-positive, respectively. Of the 20 patients with anti-GPI Abs, 17 (85%) were positive for anti-CCP Abs. HLA-DRB10405 and shared epitope (SE) carrier frequencies were significantly increased not only in anti-GPI Ab-positive patients (p=0.00057, odds ratio [OR] 4.6, 95% CI 1.8-11.8; p=0.0011, OR 5.0, 95% CI 1.7-14.0), but also in anti-GPI Ab-negative patients (p=0.0017, OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.3-3.7; p=0.00011, OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.6-4.3), when compared with controls. In addition, the carrier frequency of HLA-DRB11201 was significantly increased in anti-GPI Ab-positive patients compared with controls (p=0.0056, OR 4.3, 95% CI 1.4-13.2).
The majority of anti-GPI Ab-positive RA patients constitute a subset of HLA-DRB1* SE-associated, anti-CCP Ab-positive RA patients.
我们的目标是评估日本早期类风湿关节炎(RA)患者中葡萄糖-6-磷酸异构酶(GPI)抗体(Abs)与环瓜氨酸肽(CCP)抗体及HLA - DRB1基因型之间的关联。
对症状出现1年内就诊于我们诊所的108例早期RA患者(85例女性,23例男性)检测抗GPI和抗CCP抗体水平以及HLA - DRB1基因型。同时分别对63例对照和265例健康对照检测抗GPI和抗CCP抗体水平以及HLA - DRB1基因型。
在108例早期RA患者和63例对照中,分别有20例(18.5%)和3例(4.8%)抗GPI抗体呈阳性。在20例抗GPI抗体阳性的患者中,17例(85%)抗CCP抗体呈阳性。与对照相比,不仅抗GPI抗体阳性患者中HLA - DRB10405和共同表位(SE)携带者频率显著增加(p = 0.00057,优势比[OR] 4.6,95%可信区间[CI] 1.8 - 11.8;p = 0.0011,OR 5.0,95% CI 1.7 - 14.0),抗GPI抗体阴性患者中也是如此(p = 0.0017,OR 2.2,95% CI 1.3 - 3.7;p = 0.00011,OR 2.6,95% CI 1.6 - 4.3)。此外,与对照相比,抗GPI抗体阳性患者中HLA - DRB11201的携带者频率显著增加(p = 0.0056,OR 4.3,95% CI 1.4 - 13.2)。
大多数抗GPI抗体阳性的RA患者构成了与HLA - DRB1* SE相关的、抗CCP抗体阳性的RA患者亚组。
