Sjogren's syndrome (SS) has been associated with the expression of anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies. Anti-salivary gland protein 1 (SP1) antibodies have recently been identified in patients with SS. The current work involved a cross sectional study to determine whether anti-SP1 antibodies were identified in particular subgroups of patients with SS. The results of this study revealed that anti-SP1 antibodies were present in the sera of 52% of SS patients while anti-Ro/anti-La was present in 63% of patients. 19% of patients had anti-SP1 without anti-Ro/anti-La. Patients with SS and lymphoma expressed anti-Ro, anti-La and anti-SP1 together. In SS associated with RA, 50% had antibodies anti-SP1 while 40% had anti-Ro/anti-La. In conclusion, anti-SP1 antibodies are commonly seen in both primary and secondary SS and rarely in normal controls. Future studies are needed to determine the roles and timing of expression of anti-SP1 antibodies in Sjogren's syndrome.
干燥综合征(SS)与抗Ro和抗La抗体的表达有关。最近在干燥综合征患者中发现了抗唾液腺蛋白1(SP1)抗体。目前的研究是一项横断面研究,旨在确定在特定亚组的干燥综合征患者中是否能检测到抗SP1抗体。这项研究的结果显示,52%的干燥综合征患者血清中存在抗SP1抗体,而63%的患者存在抗Ro/抗La抗体。19%的患者有抗SP1抗体但无抗Ro/抗La抗体。干燥综合征合并淋巴瘤的患者同时表达抗Ro、抗La和抗SP1。在与类风湿关节炎相关的干燥综合征中,50%的患者有抗SP1抗体,40%的患者有抗Ro/抗La抗体。总之,抗SP1抗体在原发性和继发性干燥综合征中均常见,而在正常对照中罕见。需要进一步研究以确定抗SP1抗体在干燥综合征中的作用及表达时机。
