Autoantibodies (autoAbs) help in diagnosis and predicting clinical phenotypes in systemic sclerosis (SSc).
To determine the clinical utility of 13 SSc-related autoAbs in SSc patients.
A total of 131 consecutive patients with SSc (111 female, mean age 58.1 ± 14 years; 49 with diffused cutaneous SSc [dcSSc] and 82 with limited cutaneous SSc [lcSSc]) were analysed by a multiplex line immunoassay (Euroimmun) for autoantibodies (autoAbs) against 13 SSc-related antigens. A total of 22 patients with primary Raynaud phenomenon (RP), and 22 healthy controls were also analysed.
ANA by indirect immunofluorescence was present in 128 (97.7%) patients with SSc. Excluding anti-Ro52, 113 (89.3%) SSc patients were positive for at least one autoAb: anti-Topoisomerase I (anti-Topo) I abs in 54 (41.2%), anti-centromere proteins (anti-CENP) in 37 (28.2%, all reactive with centromere protein-A (CENPA) and centromere protein B (CENPB)), anti-RNA polymerase III(RP11) in 19 (14.5%), anti-RNA polymerase III(RP155) in 13 (9.9%), anti-fibrillarin in 4 (3.1%), anti-Ku in 6 (4.6%), anti-nucleolus-organizing region (anti-NOR90) in 8 (6.1%), anti-PM-Scl100 in 2 (1.5%), and anti-PM-Scl75 in 4 (3.1%). There was no immunoreactivity for Th/To or platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR). Overall, 102 (77.9%) SSc patients had autoAbs against Topo I, CENPA or CENPB, RP11 or RP155. Anti-Topo I abs were strongly associated with dcSSc, interstitial lung disease (ILD) (p < .001), pulmonary hypertension (PH) (p = .019) and ILD-PH (p = .003). Anti-CENPB abs were associated with lcSSc, and negatively associated with ILD. Anti-RP11 and anti-NOR90 abs were associated with male gender, and anti-NOR90 associated with ILD.
Anti-Topo I, anti-CENP, and anti-RNA pol III are the most prevalent autoAbs in SSc. Anti-Topo I and anti-NOR90 abs are associated with ILD and/or PAH.
自身抗体(autoAbs)有助于系统性硬化症(SSc)的诊断和预测临床表型。
确定 13 种与 SSc 相关的自身抗体在 SSc 患者中的临床应用价值。
通过 Euroimmun 的多重线免疫分析(LIA)对 131 例连续 SSc 患者(111 例女性,平均年龄 58.1±14 岁;49 例弥漫性皮肤 SSc [dcSSc]和 82 例局限性皮肤 SSc [lcSSc])进行 13 种与 SSc 相关抗原的自身抗体(autoAbs)分析。还对 22 例原发性雷诺现象(RP)患者和 22 例健康对照者进行了分析。
128 例(97.7%)SSc 患者间接免疫荧光法抗核抗体阳性。排除抗 Ro52 后,113 例(89.3%)SSc 患者至少有一种自身抗体阳性:54 例(41.2%)抗拓扑异构酶 I(抗 Topo)I 抗体,37 例(28.2%,均与着丝粒蛋白 A(CENPA)和着丝粒蛋白 B(CENPB)反应)抗着丝粒蛋白,19 例(14.5%)抗 RNA 聚合酶 III(RP11),13 例(9.9%)抗 RNA 聚合酶 III(RP155),4 例(3.1%)抗核仁组成区蛋白,6 例(4.6%)抗 Ku,8 例(6.1%)抗核仁组成区蛋白,2 例(1.5%)抗 PM-Scl100,4 例(3.1%)抗 PM-Scl75。没有 Th/To 或血小板衍生生长因子受体(PDGFR)的免疫反应。总的来说,102 例(77.9%)SSc 患者存在针对 Topo I、CENPA 或 CENPB、RP11 或 RP155 的自身抗体。抗 Topo I 抗体与 dcSSc、间质性肺病(ILD)(p<0.001)、肺动脉高压(PH)(p=0.019)和 ILD-PH(p=0.003)强烈相关。抗 CENPB 抗体与 lcSSc 相关,与 ILD 呈负相关。抗 RP11 和抗 NOR90 抗体与男性性别相关,抗 NOR90 与 ILD 相关。
抗 Topo I、抗 CENP 和抗 RNA pol III 是 SSc 中最常见的自身抗体。抗 Topo I 和抗 NOR90 抗体与 ILD 和/或 PAH 相关。
