AECA were detected in 25 of 71 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and in two of 33 healthy subjects. Patients with diabetes of < 1 year duration and those with long-standing disease had the highest levels of these antibodies. Inhibition studies suggest that at least part of the AECA reactivity is due to cross-reactive anti-ssDNA antibodies. AECA-positive sera were able to increase intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Increased binding of polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells was also found to accompany raised E-selectin expression. Soluble ICAM-1 and E-selectin were also found to be increased in the sera of AECA-positive patients. An effect of AECA on endothelial cell function is suggested in diabetes mellitus.
在71例1型糖尿病患者中,有25例检测到抗内皮细胞抗体(AECA),而在33名健康受试者中,有2例检测到该抗体。病程小于1年的糖尿病患者和长期患病的患者体内这些抗体水平最高。抑制研究表明,AECA反应性至少部分归因于交叉反应性抗单链DNA抗体。AECA阳性血清能够增加人脐静脉内皮细胞(HUVEC)上的细胞间黏附分子-1(ICAM-1)和E-选择素。还发现多形核(PMN)细胞结合增加与E-选择素表达升高相伴。在AECA阳性患者的血清中也发现可溶性ICAM-1和E-选择素增加。提示AECA对糖尿病患者的内皮细胞功能有影响。
