Anti-endothelial cell antibodies in idiopathic and systemic sclerosis associated pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND It has previously been shown that IgG antibodies from patients with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (SSc) bind to specific microvascular endothelial cell antigens. Since patients with limited cutaneous SSc are prone to develop pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), and since endothelial cell activation is involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic PAH (IPAH), a study was underta...
متن کاملAnti-HMGCR antibodies in systemic sclerosis
The objective of this study was to investigate the frequency of autoantibodies to hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and associations with inflammatory myositis and statin exposure.This was a cross-sectional, multicenter study of 306 subjects from the Canadian Scleroderma Research Group cohort who had complete data on statin exposure and serology for ...
متن کاملAnti-fibrillarin antibodies in systemic sclerosis.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the nature and extent of organ involvement in anti-fibrillarin antibody (AFA)-positive patients within a UK systemic sclerosis (SSc) population. METHODS We investigated 1026 consecutive patients with SSc. AFA was identified by the characteristic clumpy nucleolar and coilin body pattern of staining in interphase cells and staining of fibrillarin in metaphase cells by ...
متن کاملAnti-RNA Polymerase III Antibodies in Systemic Sclerosis
Anti-RNA Polymerase III has been recognized as an important autoantibody in Systemic Sclerosis and it is now included in the 2013 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for Systemic Sclerosis. With this manuscript we attempt to review the current data on anti-RNA polymerase II as it relates to Systemic Sclerosis.
متن کاملAnti-endothelial cell antibodies in Behçet's disease.
OBJECTIVE Circulating antibodies that bind to human endothelial cells cultured in vitro have been detected in a variety of diseases, including Behçet's disease. In this disorder the reported prevalence of AECA has varied widely. One likely source of variability is the ELISA assay itself, in which differing conditions and reagents have been used in different reports. METHODS We have re-examine...
