The presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in the serum is one of the immunological features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) assay has been widely used in clinic for the diagnosis of RA. However, up to 40% of RA patients are anti-CCP negative and the diagnostic sensitivity in this population needs to be improved for better clinical management. In this study, peptides with Multiple Citrulline Similar Motif (MCSM) were synthesized and a new ELISA system, which we called RA_CP, was developed to detect citrullinated antigens with MCSM present in the serum. 106 RA,48 other arthritis patients and 41 sex- and age-matched healthy controls (HCs) were included in this study. Patients with RA have a significantly higher amount of citrullinated antigens with MCSM than other arthritis patients and HCs. RA patients with positive anti-CCP are also MCSM positive, whereas 75% anti-CCP negative patients are positive for MCSM. The diagnostic sensitivity for anti-CCP and MCSM was 81.1% and 95.3%, while the specificity was 100% and 94.4%, respectively. ROC curve analyses showed that the area under the curve (AUC) values were 0.906 (95% CI: 0.860-0.951) for anti-CCP and 0.948 (95% CI: 0.912-0.985) for MCSM while the combination of MCSM and anti-CCP test has the highest AUC (0.971, 95% CI: 0.946–0.996). Our results suggest that detection of citrullinated antigens with MCSM has improved sensitivity compared with anti-CCP assay and could serve as a biomarker in diagnosis of RA patients.

具有多种瓜氨酸相似基序的瓜氨酸抗原在类风湿性关节炎诊断中的作用:一项初步的单中心研究

血清中抗瓜氨酸蛋白抗体 (ACPA) 的存在是类风湿性关节炎 (RA) 的免疫学特征之一。抗环瓜氨酸肽 (CCP) 检测已广泛用于临床诊断 RA。然而,高达 40% 的 RA 患者抗 CCP 呈阴性,需要提高该人群的诊断敏感性,以便更好地进行临床管理。在这项研究中,合成了具有多个瓜氨酸相似基序 (MCSM) 的肽,并开发了一种新的 ELISA 系统,我们称为 RA_CP,以检测血清中存在 MCSM 的瓜氨酸化抗原。本研究包括 106 名 RA、48 名其他关节炎患者和 41 名性别和年龄匹配的健康对照 (HC)。与其他关节炎患者和 HC 相比,RA 患者的 MCSM 瓜氨酸化抗原量明显更高。抗 CCP 阳性的 RA 患者也是 MCSM 阳性,而 75% 的抗 CCP 阴性患者是 MCSM 阳性。抗 CCP 和 MCSM 的诊断敏感性分别为 81.1% 和 95.3%,而特异性分别为 100% 和 94.4%。ROC 曲线分析显示,抗 CCP 的曲线下面积 (AUC) 值为 0.906 (95% CI: 0.860-0.951),MCSM 的曲线下面积 (AUC) 值为 0.948 (95% CI: 0.912-0.985),而 MCSM 和抗CCP 测试的 AUC 最高 (0.971, 95% CI: 0.946–0.996)。我们的研究结果表明,与抗 CCP 检测相比,用 MCSM 检测瓜氨酸化抗原的灵敏度更高,可作为诊断 RA 患者的生物标志物。抗 CCP 和 MCSM 的诊断敏感性分别为 81.1% 和 95.3%,而特异性分别为 100% 和 94.4%。ROC 曲线分析显示,抗 CCP 的曲线下面积 (AUC) 值为 0.906 (95% CI: 0.860-0.951),MCSM 的曲线下面积 (AUC) 值为 0.948 (95% CI: 0.912-0.985),而 MCSM 和抗CCP 测试的 AUC 最高 (0.971, 95% CI: 0.946–0.996)。我们的研究结果表明,与抗 CCP 检测相比,用 MCSM 检测瓜氨酸化抗原的灵敏度更高,可作为诊断 RA 患者的生物标志物。抗 CCP 和 MCSM 的诊断敏感性分别为 81.1% 和 95.3%,而特异性分别为 100% 和 94.4%。ROC 曲线分析显示,抗 CCP 的曲线下面积 (AUC) 值为 0.906 (95% CI: 0.860-0.951),MCSM 的曲线下面积 (AUC) 值为 0.948 (95% CI: 0.912-0.985),而 MCSM 和抗CCP 测试的 AUC 最高 (0.971, 95% CI: 0.946–0.996)。我们的研究结果表明,与抗 CCP 检测相比,用 MCSM 检测瓜氨酸化抗原的灵敏度更高,可作为诊断 RA 患者的生物标志物。985)对于 MCSM,而 MCSM 和抗 CCP 测试的组合具有最高的 AUC(0.971,95% CI:0.946–0.996)。我们的研究结果表明,与抗 CCP 检测相比,用 MCSM 检测瓜氨酸化抗原的灵敏度更高,可作为诊断 RA 患者的生物标志物。985)对于 MCSM,而 MCSM 和抗 CCP 测试的组合具有最高的 AUC(0.971,95% CI:0.946–0.996)。我们的研究结果表明,与抗 CCP 检测相比,用 MCSM 检测瓜氨酸化抗原的灵敏度更高,可作为诊断 RA 患者的生物标志物。
