Bacteriophage lambda surface display was used to isolate cDNA clones encoding autoantigens recognized by synovial fluid (SF) or sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We constructed cDNA libraries from human synovial sarcoma cells and synovial tissue, using the surface display vector lambdafoo. The cDNA libraries were screened by affinity selection using 40 SF and 44 sera as probes separately immobilized in microtiter wells. Phage clones isolated encode 13 different autoantigens; an unknown protein, two proteins previously unanalyzed as autoimmune antigens, three proteins previously unknown to be recognized by RA sera, and seven known RA antigens. When analyzed their sensitivity and specificity for RA by phage enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, frequencies of sera that recognize the newly-isolated autoantigens ranged from 20.5 to 6.8% of a panel of RA sera, and 13.6-0% of other autoimmune disease sera. These results indicate that the lambda phage surface display may be powerful for the isolation of cDNA clones encoding autoantigens recognized by SF or sera from patients with not only RA but also other autoimmune diseases.  相似文献

Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) is a rare autoimmune disease associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). To identify the HE-related autoantigens, we developed a human brain proteome map using two-dimensional electrophoresis and applied it to the immuno-screening of brain proteins that react with autoantibodies in HE patients. After sequential MALDI-TOF-MASS analysis, immuno-positive spots of 48 kDa (pI 7.3-7.8) detected from HE patient sera were identified as a novel autoimmuno-antigen, alpha-enolase, harboring several modifications. Specific high reactivities against human alpha-enolase were significant in HE patients with excellent corticosteroid sensitivity, whereas the patients with fair or poor sensitivity to the corticosteroid treatment showed less reactivities than cut-off level. Although a few HT patients showed faint reactions to alpha-enolase, 95% of HT patients, patients with other neurological disorders, and healthy subjects tested were all negative. These results suggest that the detection of anti-alpha-enolase antibody is useful for defining HE-related pathology, and this proteomic strategy is a powerful method for identifying autoantigens of various central nervous system diseases with unknown autoimmune etiologies.  相似文献

To identify candidate autoantigens associated with arthritis, a rat chondrocyte cDNA library was immunoscreened with serum from a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. One isolated cDNA encoded part of AHNAK, a 700-kDa phosphoprotein with DNA binding properties, that appears to be involved in several signal transduction pathways. Immunoreactivity against an in vitro translated human AHNAK fragment was detected in 4.6% (5/109) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 29.5% (18/61) of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and 1.2% (2/172) of blood donors. Anti-AHNAK antibodies reacted with a recombinant human AHNAK fragment and with native AHNAK from C32 cell lysates. In vitro translated AHNAK fragment could be cleaved by granzyme B and caspase-3. Anti-AHNAK positive SLE patients had a higher frequency of homogeneous antinuclear antibody staining patterns and a lower frequency of recent mucosal ulcerations. This is the first report that AHNAK can be targeted by the immune system in autoimmune disease.  相似文献

Apoptotically modified forms of autoantigens have been hypothesized to participate in lupus immunopathogenesis. This study identifies a major B cell epitope present on the apoptotic but not the intact form of the U1-70-kDa ribonucleoprotein lupus autoantigen (70k). Human autoimmune sera with strong recognition of apoptotic 70k and minimal recognition of intact 70k were identified and tested for reactivity to truncated forms of 70k by immunoblot and ELISA. Patient sera that preferentially recognized apoptotic 70k were specific for an epitope dependent on residues 180-205 of the protein. This epitope was also recognized by 19 of 28 (68%) intact anti-70k-positive autoimmune human sera with Abs also recognizing apoptotic but not the intact form 70k, but only 1 of 9 (11%) intact 70k-positive sera without such Abs (Fisher's exact, p = 0.0055). Immunization of HLA-DR4-transgenic C57BL/6 mice with a peptide containing this epitope induced anti-70k immunity in 13 of 15 mice, including Abs recognizing apoptotic but not intact forms of autoantigens in 12 of 15 mice. Anti-70k responder mice also developed spreading of immunity to epitopes on the endogenous form of 70k, and proliferative lung lesions consistent with those described in patients with anti-70k autoimmunity. Thus, a major epitope in the B cell response to U1-70 kDa localizes to the RNA binding domain of the molecule, overlaps with the most common T cell epitope in the anti-70k response, and is not present on the intact form of the 70k molecule. Immunization of mice against this epitope induces an immune response with features seen in human anti-70k autoimmune disease.  相似文献
