BACKGROUND In addition to anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs), antibodies targeting carbamylated (i.e., homocitrullinated) proteins (anti-CarP antibodies) have been described in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the extent to which anti-CarP antibodies are truly distinct from ACPA remains unclear, and few studies have focused on specific autoantigens. Here, we examine cross-reactivi...
Because of genetic complex and variations of auto antibodies of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in different populations, the data on the association of HLA-DRB1 alleles in anti-citrullinated protein antibody of (ACPA) RA were inconsistent. The purpose of the study is to systematically summarize results of published data through performing a meta-analysis using data in which HLA-DRB1 alleles are asso...
RESULTS Anti-CarP antibodies were detected in 117 patients with RA (37.9%), ACPA in 190 patients (61.4%) and RF in 202 patients (65.3%). Two (2.04%) of the NHS were positive for anti-CarP, one NHS (1.02%) was positive for ACPA and three NHS were positive for RF (3.06%). Among disease controls, anti-CarP antibodies were detected in 33 patients (16.5%), ACPA in 29 patients (14.5%) and RF in 64 pa...
BACKGROUND In women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) it has been observed that during pregnancy a majority of patients experience amelioration, but after delivery a relapse of the disease is common. However, there are few studies, with diverging results, addressing the effect of parity on the severity of RA over time. Our aim was to explore the impact of parity, with stratification for anti-citru...
In order to identify pathogenic correlates of refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA), antibodies against anti-cyclic citrullinated protein (ACPAs) were investigated in RA patients in whom the dysregulated immune system had been ablated by high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Six patients with refractory RA were extensively characterized in t...
OBJECTIVE The protective effect of HLA-DRB1 alleles on the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of 4 European populations to investigate which HLA-DRB1 alleles are associated with protection in anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA)-positive RA and ACPA-negative RA. METHODS Data for >2,800 patients and >3,000 c...
INTRODUCTION Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease in which genetic and environmental factors interact in the etiology. In this study, we investigated whether smoking and HLA-DRB1 shared-epitope (SE) alleles interact differently in the development of the two major subgroups of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), anti-citrullinated proteins antibody (ACPA)-positive and ACPA-neg...
BACKGROUND Galactosylation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) is reduced in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and assumed to correlate with inflammation and altered humoral immunity. IgG hypogalactosylation also increases with age. To investigate dependencies in more detail, we compared IgG hypogalactosylation between patients with RA, patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), and healthy control subjects ...
objective: endocannabinoid produce analgesia that is comparable which of opioids. the mechanism of antinociceptive effects of (∆) - 9 tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) is suggested to be through cyclooxygenase (cox) pathway. in the present work, the effect of two extreme dose ranges of celecoxib (mg/kg and ng/kg), a cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2) antagonist, on arachidonylcyclopropylamide (acpa, a selective...
With interest we read the article by Hecht et al who studied the associations of anticitrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) with bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The background of this study was that ACPAs directed against citrullinated vimentin induce differentiation of osteoclasts, indicating that ACPA has a direct effect on bone resorption. No biologica...
