GPIHBP1, a glycolipid-anchored protein of capillary endothelial cells, is a crucial partner for lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in plasma triglyceride metabolism. GPIHBP1 autoantibodies block LPL binding to GPIHBP1 and lead to severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and HTG-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP). We sought to define the incidence of GPIHBP1 autoantibodies in patients with HTG-AP.
We determined the incidence of GPIHBP1 autoantibody in HTG-AP patients, and compared the clinical features and long-term outcomes between GPIHBP1 autoantibody-positive and negative groups.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to screen for GPIHBP1 autoantibody in 116 HTG-AP patients hospitalized from Jan 1, 2015 to Aug 31, 2019. All patients were followed up for 24 months. The primary outcome was the recurrence rate of HTG-AP during the two-year follow-up period. The incidence of recurrent episodes was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox regression was used to identify risk factors.
GPIHBP1 autoantibodies were present in 17 of 116 study patients (14.66%). The 2-year recurrence rate of HTG-AP was much higher in the GPIHBP1 autoantibody-positive group (35%, 6 in 17) than in the negative group (4%, 4 in 99). The multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that GPIHBP1 autoantibody was an independent risk factor for HTG-AP recurrence in two years.
The presence of GPIHBP1 autoantibody is common in patients with HTG-AP, and is an independent risk factor for two-year recurrence of HTG-AP.
GPIHBP1 是毛细血管内皮细胞的糖脂锚定蛋白,是血浆甘油三酯代谢中脂蛋白脂肪酶(LPL)的关键伴侣。GPIHBP1 自身抗体阻断 LPL 与 GPIHBP1 的结合,导致严重的高甘油三酯血症(HTG)和 HTG 诱导的急性胰腺炎(HTG-AP)。我们旨在确定 HTG-AP 患者中 GPIHBP1 自身抗体的发生率。
我们确定了 HTG-AP 患者中 GPIHBP1 自身抗体的发生率,并比较了 GPIHBP1 自身抗体阳性和阴性组的临床特征和长期结局。
采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测 2015 年 1 月 1 日至 2019 年 8 月 31 日住院的 116 例 HTG-AP 患者的 GPIHBP1 自身抗体。所有患者均随访 24 个月。主要结局是在两年随访期间 HTG-AP 的复发率。Kaplan-Meier 法分析复发事件发生率,多变量 Cox 回归分析识别危险因素。
116 例研究患者中有 17 例(14.66%)存在 GPIHBP1 自身抗体。GPIHBP1 自身抗体阳性组(35%,17 例中有 6 例)的 HTG-AP 两年复发率明显高于阴性组(4%,99 例中有 4 例)。多变量 Cox 回归分析显示,GPIHBP1 自身抗体是 HTG-AP 两年内复发的独立危险因素。
GPIHBP1 自身抗体在 HTG-AP 患者中较为常见,是 HTG-AP 两年复发的独立危险因素。
