Lymphocyte autoantibodies and alloantibodies in HIV-positive haemophilia patients.

In order to elucidate the fine specificity of anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACA) in patients with SLE compared to patients with syphilis (SY) various inhibition experiments were performed. Seven SLE sera and eight SY sera positive for ACA were diluted and preincubated with either cardiolipin VDRL-antigen, mitochondial particles, dsDNA, ssDNA or dilution buffer. The sera were subsequently assayed for residual ACA activity of IgG or IgM class using a sensitive ELISA technique. Significant inhibition of IgM ACA activity in SLE sera was found with cardiolipin, VDRL-antigen and mitochondrial particles. Cardiolipin inhibited binding to a significantly higher extent than the other antigens. In SY sera significant inhibition of the IgM ACA activity was found with all antigens used. The strongest inhibition was seen using VDRL-antigen. Inhibition of IgG ACA activity could only be clearly estimated in SY sera where VDRL-antigen was found to be a much stronger inhibitor than the rest, purified cardiolipin being the weakest. Only two out of seven SLE sera were IgG ACA positive which made a clear conclusion impossible but a strong inhibitory capability of pure cardiolipin and a weaker inhibition with VDRL-antigen was found. This study disclosed a difference between SLE and SY sera showing strong reactivity of ACA in SLE sera with purified cardiolipin, contrasting to ACA in SY sera which predominantly reacted with cardiolipin in the liposome environment, as found in the VDRL-antigen and in mitochondrial particles.     

Comparisons of neutrophil‐, monocyte‐, eosinophil‐, and basophil‐ lymphocyte ratios among various systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases

This study was aimed to evaluate levels of neutrophil‐ (NLR), monocyte‐ (MLR), eosinophil‐ (ELR), and basophil‐lymphocyte ratio (BLR) and their association with inflammatory markers in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs). A total of 1139 SARD patients and 170 healthy individuals were enrolled. Clinical and laboratory data were extracted. NLR and MLR were significantly increased, but BLR decreased in most SARD patients (p < 0.05). ELR were significantly decreased in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, but increased in those with other SARDs (p < 0.001). In SLE patients, C‐reactive protein (CRP) showed positive correlation with NLR, MLR, and BLR. IgG negatively correlated with NLR, and did positively with ELR. IgM negatively correlated with NLR and MLR. In those with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and osteoarthritis (OA), NLR and MLR positively correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and CRP. In primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) patients, ESR showed positive correlation with NLR and MLR. IgA had positive correlation with BLR. In polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) patients, ESR and CRP positively correlated with NLR. Additionally, significant correlations were also found between CRP and BLR, IgG and ELR, IgM and ELR. In systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients, clear correlations were only observed between CRP and NLR or MLR. In mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) patients, NLR positively correlated with ESR and CRP, while NLR and MLR did negatively with IgM. In polymyalgia rheumatic (PMR) patients, MLR positively correlated with CRP, while ELR did negatively with IgG. This study demonstrated increased NLR and MLR and deceased BLR in most SARDs, decreased ELR in SLE and increased ELR in other SARDs. Furthermore, NLR and MLR may be useful tools to reflect inflammatory status of SARDs.

探讨Toll样受体7(TLR7)及I型干扰素(IFN-α)通路在系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)发病中的作用。采用实时荧光定量PCR方法检测42例SLE患者和34例正常人外周血TLR7mRNA以及4个干扰素调节基因mRNA的表达水平,同时观察TLR7mRNA的表达量与SLE疾病活动相关指标和干扰素积分(IFN score)的关系。结果,SLE患者外周血TLR7mRNA的表达水平显著增高;TLR7mRNA的表达水平与SLEDAI积分、肾脏损伤指数、抗双链DNA(dsDNA)抗体、抗RNA相关抗体水平及干扰素积分呈正相关;与补体C3、C4、白细胞数呈负相关。TLR7—IFN-α通路可能参与了SLE的病理过程。     

The effects of incubation temperature and coating procedure on the measurement of antibodies to cardiolipin

Many laboratories have established ELISAs for the the routine detection of anti-cardiolipin antibodies (ACA). Earlier studies had indicated that assay incubation at 37 degrees C may interfere with the antigen binding capacity of these antibodies. We have reexamined this phenomenon by comparing ACA titers obtained when incubations are performed at either 37 degrees C or at room temperature (RT). In addition, the effect of coating antigen in aqueous or organic solution was compared. The sera tested included a set of recognized ACA standards and samples from 19 patients with SLE, two with primary anti-phospholipid syndrome, 71 patients with a variety of autoimmune and non-autoimmune disorders and 210 blood bank controls. The results show that while some sera do perform better under either incubation temperature there was no correlation between ACA titers and incubation temperature on a population basis either for IgG or IgM isotypes. This was seen both for positive standards and patient sera. For IgG ACA a similar phenomenon was seen if the microplates were coated with cardiolipin either in sodium carbonate or ethanol. For IgM ACA there was a significant increase in ACA titers at RT when cardiolipin was coated in ethanol. The data suggest that for most sera neither the antigen coating medium nor the assay incubation temperature are important variables in the determination of IgG ACA. Factors contributing to the influence of either variable in individual sera could not be identified.     

Methodological Approach for the Detection of IgM Anticardiolipin Antibodies

The effects of 10% fetal calf serum (10% FCS), 10% adult bovine serum (10% ABS) and 1% bovine serum albumin (1% BSA) buffers on the reactivity of samples with or without IgM anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA IgM) were studied on cardiolipin-coated wells (target wells) and cardiolipin-free wells (control wells) in an ELISA test. With 1% BSA, target well reactivity was very low for samples containing ACA IgM. The 10% FCS induced a moderate but significant binding of polyclonal IgM on target wells particularly in the case of IgM hypergammaglobulinemia. With 10% ABS, whatever the IgM serum level, this non-specific binding did not occur on the solid phase either in the presence or in the absence of cardiolipin. Using 10% ABS, the study of 35 SLE sera showed that non-specific binding of IgM on control-wells occurred only with ACA IgM positive samples. Thus with the use of 10% ABS, we propose that subtraction of control well from target well values must not be performed for the detection of ACA IgM. The significance of cardiolipin-free well IgM reactivity of ACA IgM positive sera is discussed.     

Imbalance between interleukin-6 and adrenomedullin mRNA levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with lupus nephritis.

In this study, we measured the mRNA levels of adrenomedullin (AM), C-type natriuretic peptide, vascular endothelial growth factor, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of 34 patients with lupus nephritis (LN) (15 active and 19 inactive) and 30 healthy volunteers. mRNA levels were measured using a real-time quantitative PCR METHOD: Compared with healthy volunteers, IL-6 mRNA levels were elevated in LN patients (P < 0.005), while AM mRNA levels were decreased (P < 0.05). Also, IL-6 mRNA levels were higher and AM mRNA levels lower in active LN patients compared with inactive LN patients. In addition, IL-6 mRNA levels positively correlated and AM mRNA levels negatively correlated with SLE disease activity index and laboratory findings, such as blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, 50% haemolytic unit of complement and urinary excretion of protein over 24 h. Furthermore, IL-6 mRNA levels were negatively correlated with AM mRNA levels within the same LN patients. With regard to pathological findings, our results showed that IL-6 mRNA levels were higher, and AM mRNA levels significantly lower in patients with a high activity index compared to those with a low activity index. Following treatment with prednisolone, IL-6 mRNA levels in active LN patients decreased and AM mRNA levels increased to levels comparable to those in inactive LN and healthy volunteers. In vitro studies further demonstrated that elevated IL-6 mRNA levels in active LN patient PBMC were suppressed by the addition of adrenomedullin. Our results suggest that an imbalance between IL-6 and AM levels may play an important role in the progression of SLE, and that the mRNA levels of these genes in PBMC may be used as a disease activity index for SLE.     

IgG rheumatoid factor, complement and immune complexes in rheumatoid synovitis and vasculitis: comparative and serial studies during cytotoxic therapy.

IgG and IgM rheumatoid factors (IgG-RF and IgM-RF), complement and three assays for immune complexes were measured in 22 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated by either chronic active synovitis or vasculitis. Patients with vasculitis had relatively inactive arthritis but had higher titres of rheumatoid factors, especially IgG-RF, anticomplementary activity (ACA) and lower levels of C4 than those with synovitis. Clq-binding and platelet aggregation (PA) levels were similar in both groups. Serial measurements during cytotoxic therapy showed a close temporal relationship between the clinical features of vasculitis and levels of IgG-RF, ACA and C4 both with remission and with relapse. We suggest that immune complexes containing IgG-RF which activate complement and are detected by ACA are useful markers of rheumatoid vasculitis and may be important in its pathogenesis.     

Antibodies to anionic phospholipids and anti-beta2-GPI: association with thrombosis and thrombocytopenia in systemic lupus erythematosus

In this study, we evaluated the prevalence and association with thrombosis and/or thrombocytopenia of IgG and IgM antibodies to cardiolipin (aCL), phosphatidic acid (aPA), phosphatidylinositol (aPI), phosphatidylserine, and beta(2)-glycoprotein I (abeta(2)-GPI) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Sera were obtained from 87 patients affected by SLE (77 of the 87 patients were females), 41 of them with a history of arterial and/or venous thrombosis. Antiphospholipid antibodies and abeta(2)-GPI were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. IgG-aCL, IgG-aPA, IgG-aPI, IgG-aPS, and IgG-abeta(2)-GPI were found in 53%, 37%, 32%, 38%, and 24% of patients, respectively. IgM-aCL, IgM-aPA, IgM-aPI, IgM-aPS, and IgM-abeta(2)-GPI were detected in 15%, 17%, 18%, 14%, and 16%, respectively. With respect to antibody titer, IgG-aCL strongly correlated with all other antiphospholipid antibodies and abeta(2)-GPI of IgG isotype. Thrombosis was significantly associated with IgG-aPA (p = 0.044), IgG-aPI (p = 0.038), IgG-aPS (p = 0.026), IgG-abeta(2)-GPI, IgM-aPA (p = 0.044), IgM-aPI (p = 0.024), and IgM-aPS (p = 0.01), irrespective of antibody titer, whereas IgG-aCL were associated with thrombosis and thrombocytopenia when taken at medium-high titer (p = 0.009 and p = 0.046, respectively). Our results confirm that, besides aCL and abeta(2)-GPI, other antibodies to negatively-charged phospholipids are present in a large percentage of patients with SLE. However, it remains doubtful whether these other antiphospolipid antibodies actually represent an important parameter predictive of thrombosis and thrombocytopenia in SLE.     

Subclasses of IgG Anticardiolipin Antibodies in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Antibodies directed to a co-factor associated with negatively charged phospholipids, such as cardiolipin, occur in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and possibly more often in those with venous or arterial thrombosis, thrombocytopenia or recurrent fetal loss. They are also found in patients without any of these manifestations and their biological effect, if any, might thus be related to their IgG subclass. To investigate this possibility, we determined anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) using monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) against human IgG subclasses. A net absorbance of x +3 SD of the value of 30 blood donors was taken as the cut-off point. The specificity of the assay was verified through inhibition experiments using cardiolipin micelles. Thirty-three patients with SLE were studied, all of whom had been shown to have ACA by a point dilution screening assay. IgG1 ACA were found in 85% of the patients, and ACA of the IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 subclasses in 42%, 39% and 15%. There was a significant correlation between the presence of IgG3 ACA and of anti-DNA antibodies but none between subclass distribution and major clinical manifestations of SLE.
