Autoantibodies to myeloperoxidase (MPO) are a subset of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA, MPO-ANCA) detected in the sera of some patients with primary systemic vasculitis. The titer of MPO-ANCA does not always reflect disease activity and this inconsistency may be attributable to differences in epitopic specificity by MPO-ANCA among various patients with vasculitis. Epitope analysis may also explain the occurrence of MPO-ANCA in different vasculitic syndromes. We screened the sera of 148 MPO-ANCA positive patients from six vasculitic syndromes: rapidly progressive gromerulonephritis (RPGN), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), idiopathic crescentic glomerulonephritis (I-CrGN), classic polyangiitis nodosa (cPAN), Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS), Kawasaki disease (KD); and from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The sera were collected by the Intractable Vasculitis Research Project Group in Japan. No serum showed epitopes La and Lb of light chain of MPO, and sera with 68.6% of patients showed a positive reaction to one or more epitopes in heavy chain of MPO. Analysis of binding level showed that RPGN, I-CrGN and MPA sera mainly reacted to the Ha epitope at the N-termimus of the MPO heavy chain, CSS sera reacted to Ha and the Hf epitope close to the C-terminus of the MPO heavy chain, KD reacted mainly to Hf, while SLE and RA sera reacted to all epitopes. These results suggest that MPO-ANCA recognizing specific regions of the N-terminus of the MPO H-chain confer an increased risk of vasculitis RPGN, I-CrGN, MPA and CSS. Furthermore, the epitopic specificity of MPO-ANCA differentiates vasculitic from non-vasculitic syndromes associated with MPO-ANCA positivity and differentiates in the cirtain type of vasculitis from various vasculitic syndromes. In particular, vasculitic syndromes associated with kidney involvement had similar epitopic reactivity which suggests that this pattern confers an increased risk of vasculitis. 相似文献

Severe adverse reactions to propylthiouracil occur in 1-5% of patients. Three major side effects, namely agranulocytosis, hepatotoxicity and drug-induced hypersensitivity, have been described though these syndromes are not distinct entities and there can be overlaps in the clinical manifestations. The drug-induced hypersensitivity may be an immune-mediated reaction with multiorgan involvement in which a combination of polyarthritis, cutaneous vasculitis and fever is common. We report a patient with propylthiouracil-induced hypersensitivity with an unusual combination of high spiking fever, migratory polyarthritis, reversible sensorineural deafness, normochromic normocytic anaemia, leucocytosis and hepatotoxicity associated with polyclonal activation of multiple autoantibodies. This case illustrates the highly variable clinical manifestations of the syndrome. The prompt recovery upon withdrawal of the drug indicates the importance of early diagnosis. 相似文献

ANCA are an important marker for identifying pauci-immune necrotizing and crescentic glomerulonephritis and systemic vasculitis. Patients with ANCA-associated renal disease have a spectrum of illness ranging from renal-limited disease to widespread vasculitis, including the clinicopathologic syndromes of polyarteritis nodosa and Wegener's granulomatosis. ANCA may be directly involved in the pathogenesis of pauci-immune glomerulonephritis and necrotizing systemic vasculitis. 相似文献

Background
Cefoperazone has not been reported to cause vasculitic complications before. Here, we report a case of hypersensitivity vasculitis associated with cefoperazone/sulbactam.Case presentation
A 13-year-old girl with appendicitis developed hypersensitivity vasculitis on the fifth day of cefoperazone/sulbactam therapy. Hypersensitivity vasculitis resolved gradually after removal of the agent on the seventh day and did not recur. Although hypersensitivity vasculitis has multiple causes, coexistence of hypersensitivity vasculitis and cefoperazone treatment, and the quite resolution of the disease after removal of the drug, strongly favours a causative relationship.Conclusion
To our knowledge, this is the first report of a hypersensitivity vasculitis associated with cefoperazone. 相似文献5.

Clinical and serological profiles of idiopathic and drug-induced autoimmune diseases can be very similar. We compared data
from idiopathic and antithyroid drug (ATD)-induced antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive patients. From 1993
to 2003, 2474 patients were tested for ANCA in the Laboratory for Allergy and Clinical Immunology in Belgrade. Out of 2474
patients, 72 (2.9%) were anti-proteinase 3 (PR3)- or anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive and their clinical and serological
data were analyzed. The first group consisted of ANCA-associated idiopathic systemic vasculitis (ISV) diagnosed in 56/72 patients:
29 Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), 23 microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and four Churg-Strauss syndrome. The second group consisted
of 16/72 patients who became ANCA-positive during ATD therapy (12 receiving propylthiouracil and four receiving methimazole).
We determined ANCA and antinuclear (ANA) antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence; PR3-ANCA, MPO-ANCA, anticardiolipin (aCL)
and antihistone antibodies (AHA) by ELISA; and cryoglobulins by precipitation. Complement components C3 and C4, alpha-1 antitrypsin
(α1 AT) and C reactive protein (CR-P) were measured by nephelometry. Renal lesions were present in 3/16 (18.8%) ATD-treated
patients and in 42/56 (75%) ISV patients (p <0.001). Skin lesions occurred in 10/16 (62.5%) ATD-treated patients and 14/56 (25%) ISV patients (p <0.01). ATD-treated patients more frequently had MPO-ANCA, ANA, AHA, aCL, cryoglobulins and low C4 (p <0.01). ISV patients more frequently had low α1 AT (p = 0.059) and high CR-P (p <0.001). Of 16 ATD-treated patients, four had drug-induced ANCA vasculitis (three MPA and one WG), while 12 had lupus-like
disease (LLD). Of 56 ISV patients, 13 died and eight developed terminal renal failure (TRF). There was no lethality in the
ATD-treated group, but 1/16 with methimazole-induced MPA developed pulmonary-renal syndrome with progression to TRF. ANCA-positive
ISV had a more severe course in comparison with ATD-induced ANCA-positive diseases. Clinically and serologically ANCA-positive
ATD-treated patients can be divided into two groups: the first consisting of patients with drug-induced WG or MPA which resemble
ISV and the second consisting of patients with LLD. Different serological profiles could help in the differential diagnosis
and adequate therapeutic approach to ANCA-positive ATD-treated patients with symptoms of systemic disease. 相似文献

Before the mid-1980s the only autoantibody widely used to assist in diagnosing vasculitic disease was IgG antibody to the
α3 domain of the noncollagenous part of type IV collagen (anti-glomerular basement membrane). Since that time, antineutrophil
cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) directed at the azurophilic granule proteins proteinase-3 and myeloperoxidase have been established
as clinically useful autoantibodies to support a diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis, Churg–Strauss
syndrome and limited forms of these primary, small vessel necrotizing and often granulomatous vasculitides. The establishment
of standardized methods for identifying those antibodies was needed before they could be used in clinical practice. The levels
of both types of ANCAs tend to increase in parallel with the degree of clinical disease activity, and they decrease with successful
immunosuppressive therapy. More than one assay may have to be used to discover imminent exacerbations in proteinase-3-ANCA
associated syndromes. Although autoantibodies to endothelial cells may be important players in the pathogenesis of several
vasculitic conditions, they have not gained clinical popularity because of lack of standardized detection methods. 相似文献

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) - associated vasculitis (AAV) is a life-threatening autoimmune disease characterized
by an antibody-mediated glomerulonephritis and necrotizing vasculitis. Apart from antibodies, T cells are also involved in
disease pathogenesis. This review stresses the hallmarks of T cell-mediated pathology in AAV and highlights the characteristics
of lesional and circulating T cells in the immune response in AAV. Circulating effector T-cell populations are expanded and
are in a persistent state of activation. Circulating regulatory T-cell subsets are less well characterized but seem to be
impaired in function. Lesional effector T cells are present in granulomas, vasculitic lesions, and nephritis. Lesional T cells
usually show pro-inflammatory properties and promote granuloma formation. Apart from T cells, dendritic cells are abundantly
present at the sites of inflammation and locally orchestrate the immune response. Targeting the above-mentioned T cell-mediated
disease mechanisms will potentially provide powerful therapeutic tools for AAV. 相似文献

Dysregulated release of neutrophil azurophilic granules causes increased tissue damage and amplified inflammation during autoimmune disease. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of small vessel vasculitis and promote adhesion and exocytosis in neutrophils. ANCAs activate specific signal transduction pathways in neutrophils that have the potential to be modulated therapeutically to prevent neutrophil activation by ANCAs. We have investigated a role for diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) and its downstream product phosphatidic acid (PA) in ANCA-induced neutrophil exocytosis. Neutrophils incubated with the DGK inhibitor R59022, before treatment with ANCAs, exhibited a reduced capacity to release their azurophilic granules, demonstrated by a component release assay and flow cytometry. PA restored azurophilic granule release in DGK-inhibited neutrophils. Confocal microscopy revealed that R59022 did not inhibit translocation of granules, indicating a role for DGK during the process of granule fusion at the plasma membrane. In investigating possible mechanisms by which PA promotes neutrophil exocytosis, we demonstrated that exocytosis can only be restored in R59022-treated cells through simultaneous modulation of membrane fusion and increasing cytosolic calcium. PA and its associated pathways may represent viable drug targets to reduce tissue injury associated with ANCA-associated vasculitic diseases and other neutrophilic inflammatory disorders. 相似文献

Evidence is lacking for direct pathogenicity of human anti-proteinase-3 (PR3) antibodies in development of systemic vasculitis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, Wegener''s granulomatosis). Progress in study of these antibodies in rodents has been hampered by lack of PR3 expression on murine neutrophils, and by different Fc-receptor affinities for IgG across species. Therefore, we tested whether human anti-PR3 antibodies can induce acute vasculitis in mice with a human immune system. Chimeric mice were generated by injecting human haematopoietic stem cells into irradiated NOD-scid-IL2Rγ−/− mice. Matched chimera mice were treated with human IgG from patients with: anti-PR3 positive renal and lung vasculitis; patients with non-vasculitic renal disease; or healthy controls. Six-days later, 39% of anti-PR3 treated mice had haematuria, compared with none of controls. There was punctate bleeding on the surface of lungs of anti-PR3 treated animals, with histological evidence of vasculitis and haemorrhage. Anti-PR3 treated mice had mild pauci-immune proliferative glomerulonephritis, with infiltration of human and mouse leukocytes. In 3 mice (17%) more severe glomerular injury was present. There were no glomerular changes in controls. Human IgG from patients with anti-PR3 autoantibodies is therefore pathogenic. This model of anti-PR3 antibody-mediated vasculitis may be useful in dissecting mechanisms of microvascular injury. 相似文献

AbstractPurpose: We examined the relationship between autoantibodies to erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) and renal outcome in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV).Materials and methods: Sixty-three Japanese patients with AAV were enrolled and followed for a median of 31.4?months. Patients were screened for serum anti-EPOR antibodies using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Associations of anti-EPOR antibodies with clinical parameters were analyzed using logistic-regression models.Results: Anti-EPOR antibodies were detected in 7 (11%) of the 63 patients, and levels of the antibodies decreased with immunosuppressive therapy. The presence of anti-EPOR antibodies was associated with a higher Birmingham vasculitis activity score. In addition, anti-EPOR antibodies were more frequently observed in patients with renal outcomes, which was defined as a sustained 50% reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline, than in those without. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that presence of anti-EPOR antibodies, as well as age at disease onset, were as risk factors for the renal outcome.Conclusion: Anti-EPOR antibodies were associated with the progression of renal dysfunction in patients with AAV. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo alert clinicians about the risk of vasculi- tis and cross-reactivity of antithyroid medication.MethodsWe describe the clinical course and medical management of the study patient.ResultsA 25-year-old woman with hyperthyroid- ism developed antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-posi- tive vasculitis after 15 months of propylthiouracil therapy. Her condition improved when propylthiouracil was with- drawn, but recurred when she was prescribed methimazole. Propylthiouracil and methimazole are commonly used an- tithyroid medications, and propylthiouracil is a well-rec- ognized cause of drug-induced vasculitis. Cross-reactivity between the 2 drugs is likely, but it has not been reported previously with regard to vasculitis. Many patients with propylthiouracil-induced vasculitis have been switched to methimazole.ConclusionsAwareness of this rare, but potentially serious, adverse drug reaction is important because prompt discontinuation of medication is essential. Cross-reactivity between propylthiouracil and methimazole must be consid- ered when selecting alternative therapies. (Endocr Pract. 2010;16:449-451) 相似文献

Three patients developed a vasculitis while taking alclofenac. Two recovered with corticosteroid therapy, and the third, who had continued to take the drug for a further week despite epistaxis, haemoptysis, haematuria, and cutaneous vasculitis, developed a more persistent vasculitis with histological evidence of progressive renal involvement. 相似文献

HeLa cells, incubated with camptothecin during the G 1 phase of the cell cycle, show nuclear fluorescence with fluorescein-labeled antinucleoside antibodies. If the G 1 cells are washed free of the drug, the cells no longer demonstrate nuclear fluorescence. Since these antibodies react only with single-stranded DNA, the positive staining in camptothecin-treated G 1 cells suggests that the drug induces denatured regions in DNA. Fluorescent antinucleoside antibodies may be a useful technique for the observation of drug-induced changes in DNA during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. 相似文献

In anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) genetic predisposition, ANCA autoantibodies, neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), complement activation, and toll-like receptor signaling are implicated in AAV pathogenesis. Heat shock proteins (HSPs), a highly conserved group of small-sized molecular chaperones, take part in protein folding during cellular stress. Although HSPs were initially observed intracellularly, it has been shown that they can be secreted in the extracellular space and modulate the immune response in various autoimmune diseases including AAV. The scope of the present study is to investigate the role of heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) and 70 (HSP70) in the long renal effects in an ANCA vasculitis cohort. In this cohort of ANCA-associated vasculitis, 29 patients were followed up over 20 years. At diagnosis, immunohistochemistry was performed for HSP60 and HSP70 within the various nephron compartments. Higher renal HSP60 expression was associated with increased interstitial inflammatory infiltrates at diagnosis, while HSP70 expression was associated with a greater extent of interstitial fibrosis at diagnosis. Notably, intense tissue expression of HSP70 at the time of biopsy was associated with a worsened kidney survival. Renal HSP70 expression was associated with poor renal outcomes during long-term follow-up. This finding may indicate a role of HSPs in renal disease progression in ANCA vasculitis. Further validating studies are needed to verify a causative association between HSP70 expression and renal outcomes in ANCA-associated vasculitis. 相似文献

Surrogate markers to detect vasculitic processes prior to organ compromise are lacking. To determine if specific populations among the fibronectin (FN) family of alternatively spliced proteins correlate with parameters of vasculitis in at-risk patients, we retrospectively evaluated the association of plasma levels of total FN (TFN) and FN bearing the alternatively spliced EIIIA segment (A+FN) with clinical vasculitis status and with levels of two putative vasculitis markers (C-reactive protein (CRP) and von Willebrand factor) in a previously studied cohort of 27 patients with systemic inflammatory disease. We found that the percentage of TFN composed by A+FN (%A+) and A+FN, but not TFN, correlated with plasma levels of CRP, the prototypic inflammation biomarker used to detect vasculitis. These findings suggest that different FNs may confer distinct clinical information, and that their simultaneous measurement merits further investigation in our efforts to identify soluble biomarker systems to detect vasculitis. 相似文献

The treatment of rabbits with a typical dosage schedule of the chemotherapeutic drug cis -platinum resulted in an increased whole body retention of 67Ga-citrate due to decreased urinary and fecal excretion. The biodistribution of the tracer was also affected with most tissues showing greater accumulation. These changes are primarily related to drug-induced renal dysfunction, but other factors may also be involved. 相似文献

Chemotherapy drug-induced nephrotoxicity limits clinical applications for treating cancers. Pyroptosis, a newly discovered programmed cell death, was recently reported to be associated with kidney diseases. However, the role of pyroptosis in chemotherapeutic drug-induced nephrotoxicity has not been fully clarified. Herein, we demonstrate that the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin or doxorubicin, induces the cleavage of gasdermin E (GSDME) in cultured human renal tubular epithelial cells, in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Morphologically, cisplatin- or doxorubicin-treated renal tubular epithelial cells exhibit large bubbles emerging from the cell membrane. Furthermore, activation of caspase 3, not caspase 9, is associated with GSDME cleavage in cisplatin- or doxorubicin-treated renal tubular epithelial cells. Meanwhile, silencing GSDME alleviates cisplatin- or doxorubicin-induced HK-2 cell pyroptosis by increasing cell viability and decreasing LDH release. In addition, treatment with Ac-DMLD-CMK, a polypeptide targeting mouse caspase 3-Gsdme signaling, inhibits caspase 3 and Gsdme activation, alleviates the deterioration of kidney function, attenuates renal tubular epithelial cell injury, and reduces inflammatory cytokine secretion in vivo. Specifically, GSDME cleavage depends on ERK and JNK signaling. NAC, a reactive oxygen species (ROS) inhibitor, reduces GSDME cleavage through JNK signaling in human renal tubular epithelial cells. Thus, we speculate that renal tubular epithelial cell pyroptosis induced by chemotherapy drugs is mediated by ROS-JNK-caspase 3-GSDME signaling, implying that therapies targeting GSDME may prove efficacious in overcoming chemotherapeutic drug-induced nephrotoxicity.Subject terms: Apoptosis, Acute kidney injury 相似文献

Skin biopsies from eight patients with drug-induced dermatitis have been compared with skin biopsies from 16 patients developing skin lesions (acute graft versus host-reaction and/or drug-induced reaction) after bone marrow transplantation. Biopsies were investigated using immunohistochemistry and several monoclonal antibodies. Morphological and immunohistochemical patterns in skin biopsies of both groups were very similar. The only difference seen was a reduced number of epidermal Langerhans cells with poorly developed dendrites in skin biopsies taken from patients who underwent bone marrow transplantation. If the latter finding is due to the cytotoxic drug regimen administered before bone marrow transplantation, as previously stated, we doubt the usefulness of skin biopsies in the differential diagnosis of acute graft-versus-host reaction and drug-induced skin lesions. 相似文献

A 60-year-old man with a history of Graves' disease, treated with propylthiouracil (PTU), presented with a rash, pancytopenia, and lymphadenopathy. The patient subsequently developed acute renal failure and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Despite discontinuation of PTU and aggressive therapy including high-dose steroids, cyclophosphamide, and plasma exchange, the patient died. PTU-induced antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-positive vasculitis has been well described in the literature. Patients with this condition are almost always positive for pANCA or anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO). Patients can have varying presentations, and symptoms usually resolve with discontinuation of the drug. Some patients, however, require high-dose steroids, immunosuppressives, or plasmapheresis. Rarely, fatalities can occur from this condition. The mechanism of PTU-induced vasculitis is not well understood. 相似文献

The etiology of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitides (AAV) is unknown, but the association between infections and autoimmunity has been studied extensively. In 2004, a novel theory was proposed that could link infection and autoimmunity. This 'theory of autoantigen complementarity' was based on the serendipitous finding of antibodies against complementary-PR3 (cPR3) in patients with PR3-ANCA-associated vasculitis. cPR3 demonstrated homology to several bacterial proteins, and it was hypothesized that PR3-ANCA develop in response to anti-cPR3 antibodies, as a consequence of the anti-idiotypic network. These data have not been confirmed in other patient cohorts. We investigated the presence of anti-cPR3 antibodies in a Dutch cohort of PR3-ANCA-associated vasculitis patients. Anti-cPR3 reactivity was determined in serum using ELISA. Two separate batches of cPR3 were used to determine reactivity in two separate cohorts of PR3-ANCA-associated vasculitis patients. We found that anti-cPR3-reactivity was not increased in our PR3-ANCA-associated vasculitis patients, in comparison to control groups. Further research will be necessary to prove the concept of autoantigen complementarity in autoimmune diseases. 相似文献
