Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is a serious post-infectious immune sequelae of Group A streptococcus (GAS). Pathogenesis remains poorly understood, including the events associated with collagen autoantibody generation. GAS express streptococcal collagen-like proteins (Scl) that contain a collagenous domain resembling human collagen. Here, the relationship between antibody reactivity to GAS Scl proteins and human collagen in ARF was investigated. Serum IgG specific for a representative Scl protein (Scl1.1) together with collagen-I and collagen-IV mimetic peptides were quantified in ARF patients (n = 36) and healthy matched controls (n = 36). Reactivity to Scl1.1 was significantly elevated in ARF compared to controls (P < 0.0001) and this was mapped to the collagen-like region of the protein, rather than the N-terminal non-collagenous region. Reactivity to collagen-1 and collagen-IV peptides was also significantly elevated in ARF cases (P < 0.001). However, there was no correlation between Scl1.1 and collagen peptide antibody binding, and hierarchical clustering of ARF cases by IgG reactivity showed two distinct clusters, with Scl1.1 antigens in one and collagen peptides in the other, demonstrating that collagen autoantibodies are not immunologically related to those targeting Scl1.1. Thus, anti-collagen antibodies in ARF appear to be generated as part of the autoreactivity process, independent of any mimicry with GAS collagen-like proteins.

急性风湿热患者对胶原蛋白肽和链球菌胶原蛋白样1蛋白的抗体反应

急性风湿热(ARF)是A组链球菌(GAS)感染后严重的免疫后遗症。发病机制仍然知之甚少,包括与胶原自身抗体产生相关的事件。GAS 表达链球菌胶原蛋白样蛋白 (Scl),其中包含类似于人类胶原蛋白的胶原结构域。在这里,研究了 ARF 中对 GAS Scl 蛋白的抗体反应性和人胶原蛋白之间的关系。在 ARF 患者 (n = 36) 和健康匹配的对照组 (n = 36) 中对代表性 Scl 蛋白 (Scl1.1) 的血清 IgG 以及胶原蛋白-I 和胶原蛋白-IV 模拟肽进行量化。与对照相比,ARF 中对 Scl1.1 的反应性显着升高(P < 0.0001),这被映射到蛋白质的胶原样区域,而不是 N 端非胶原区域。在 ARF 病例中,对胶原蛋白-1 和胶原蛋白-IV 肽的反应性也显着升高(P < 0.001)。然而,Scl1.1 与胶原蛋白肽抗体结合之间没有相关性,通过 IgG 反应性对 ARF 病例的分级聚类显示出两个不同的簇,一个是 Scl1.1 抗原,另一个是胶原肽,这表明胶原蛋白自身抗体不是与靶向 Scl1.1 的免疫学相关。因此,ARF 中的抗胶原抗体似乎是作为自身反应过程的一部分产生的,与 GAS 胶原蛋白样蛋白的任何模拟无关。通过 IgG 反应性对 ARF 病例的分级聚类显示出两个不同的聚类,一个是 Scl1.1 抗原,另一个是胶原蛋白肽,这表明胶原蛋白自身抗体与靶向 Scl1.1 的抗体在免疫学上不相关。因此,ARF 中的抗胶原抗体似乎是作为自身反应过程的一部分产生的,与 GAS 胶原蛋白样蛋白的任何模拟无关。通过 IgG 反应性对 ARF 病例的分级聚类显示出两个不同的聚类,一个是 Scl1.1 抗原,另一个是胶原蛋白肽,这表明胶原蛋白自身抗体与靶向 Scl1.1 的抗体在免疫学上不相关。因此,ARF 中的抗胶原抗体似乎是作为自身反应过程的一部分产生的,与 GAS 胶原蛋白样蛋白的任何模拟无关。
