Highlights |
• | Myositis-specific (MSA) and -associated (MAA) antibodies in systemic sclerosis (SSc). |
• | The prevalence of MSA/MAA, MSA and MAA were 17%, 8.0% and 9.7%, respectively. |
• | The isolated prevalence of each antibody was low (inferior to 5%). |
• | MAA positivity was associated with ILD and myositis. |
• | No clinical associations were found with MSA positivity. |
Abstract |
Objective |
In systemic sclerosis (SSc) and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), auto-antibodies are used in daily practice as potent biomarkers of clinical phenotypes. This study aimed at estimating the prevalence of myositis-specific (MSA) and myositis-associated (MAA) auto-antibodies in a well-characterised SSc patients cohort using two different immunoblot assays, and studying their clinical associations.
Methods |
In this cross-sectional study, the sera of 300 consecutive patients were tested at the same time with myositis antibodies Euroimmun® and D-tek® immunoblot assays.
Results |
Prevalence of MSA/MAA, MSA and MAA were 17.0%, 8.0% and 9.7%, respectively. When combining results of both tests, anti-PM/Scl 100 were found in 5.0% (95% confidence interval 2.8; 8.1); anti-PM/Scl 75 and anti-TIF1γ in 3.7% (1.8; 6.5); anti-Ku 3.0% (1.4; 5.6); anti-MDA5 in 1.3% (0.4; 3.4); anti-Mi-2 β, anti-NXP2, anti-PL-7 and anti-SRP in 0.7% (0.08; 2.4); anti-EJ and anti-PL-12 in 0.3% (0.01; 1.8) of patients. No reactivity against SAE1, Jo-1 or OJ was observed. Anti-PM/Scl 75 antibodies were associated with interstitial lung disease (80% vs. 42%) and myositis (27% vs. 3%); anti-Ku antibodies were associated with myositis (33% vs. 3%).
Conclusion |
In this cross-sectional study of 300 SSc patients, the prevalence of MSA/MAA, MSA and MAA using immunoblot assays were 17.0%, 8.0% and 9.7%, respectively. MAA positivity was associated with ILD and myositis, but this study did not highlight any clinical associations with MSA positivity.
