Abstract

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies targeting the neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscles. Triple-seronegative MG (tSN-MG, without detectable AChR, MuSK and LRP4 antibodies), which accounts for ~10% of MG patients, presents a serious gap in MG diagnosis and complicates differential diagnosis of similar disorders. Several AChR antibody positive patients (AChR-MG) also have antibodies against titin, usually detected by ELISA. We have developed a very sensitive radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) for titin antibodies, by which many previously negative samples were found positive, including several from tSN-MG patients. The validity of the RIPA results was confirmed by western blots. Using this RIPA we screened 667 MG sera from 13 countries; as expected, AChR-MG patients had the highest frequency of titin antibodies (40.9%), while MuSK-MG and LRP4-MG patients were positive in 14.6% and 16.4% respectively. Most importantly, 13.4% (50/372) of the tSN-MG patients were also titin antibody positive. None of the 121 healthy controls or the 90 myopathy patients, and only 3.6% (7/193) of other neurological disease patients were positive. We thus propose that the present titin antibody RIPA is a useful tool for serological MG diagnosis of tSN patients.

摘要

重症肌无力(MG)是一种自身免疫性疾病,由针对骨骼肌神经肌肉接头的抗体引起。三阴性重症肌无力(tSN-MG,未检测到乙酰胆碱受体、肌肉特异性激酶和低密度脂蛋白受体相关蛋白4抗体)占MG患者的10%左右,在MG诊断中存在严重空白,使类似疾病的鉴别诊断复杂化。一些乙酰胆碱受体抗体阳性患者(AChR-MG)也有抗肌联蛋白抗体,通常通过酶联免疫吸附测定法检测。我们开发了一种非常灵敏的抗肌联蛋白抗体放射免疫沉淀测定法(RIPA),通过该方法发现许多之前呈阴性的样本呈阳性,包括一些来自tSN-MG患者的样本。免疫印迹法证实了RIPA结果的有效性。我们使用这种RIPA对来自13个国家的667份MG血清进行了筛查;正如预期的那样,AChR-MG患者的抗肌联蛋白抗体频率最高(40.9%),而MuSK-MG和LRP4-MG患者的阳性率分别为14.6%和16.4%。最重要的是,13.4%(50/372)的tSN-MG患者抗肌联蛋白抗体也呈阳性。121名健康对照者、90名肌病患者均无阳性结果,其他神经系统疾病患者中只有3.6%(7/193)呈阳性。因此,我们认为目前的抗肌联蛋白抗体RIPA是tSN患者MG血清学诊断的有用工具。
